Fortem Technologies Deploys Man Portable Counter-UAS Solution in

Posted in CartoNews

PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, May 16, 2022 — (PRNewswire) —Fortem Technologies[1], leaders in airspace security and defense for detecting and defeating dangerous drones, has announced a new, smaller portable counter-UAS system in direct response to the crisis in Ukraine. Working closely with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Fortem provided Ukraine with a number of the Fortem SkyDome man-portable counter-UAS solutions, as well as on site training and support. The solution includes the FortemDroneHunter[2], which removes drones from the sky autonomously day and night.

Ukraine has a dire need for portable counter-drone technology to detect and disarm Group 1 and II enemy surveillance drones. Recognizing this, Fortem took its pre-existing portable counter-UAS system and further miniaturized and simplified it for use as an expeditionary rapid deployment system.

"Fortem creates the world's best drone interceptor. We work everyday to keep venues, campuses, and entire cities protected from rogue drone incursions," said Fortem Technologies CEO Timothy Bean. "When our predictions came true - that drones would be relied upon heavily in the next major conflict - we knew we had to act quickly to arm our allies with the technology necessary to keep themselves safe from drone surveillance and attacks."

The Fortem SkyDome man-portable counter-UAS solution sets up very quickly with an off-power...

Kongsberg Geospatial provides 3D operator visualization for Iris

Posted in CartoNews

Airspace Situational Awareness from the Optical DAA sensor will be provided to the user in one Common Operational Picture (COP).

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kongsberg Geospatial, developer of the TerraLens Geospatial Software Development Kit, has partnered with Iris Automation to enhance their Casia-G ground-based DAA system. Casia G is a ground-based surveillance system that continually monitors the airspace using a 360-degree optical solution to ensure UAS operation is safe from intruder aircraft. Iris Automation has recently received its second FAA Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) waiver to conduct flight operations in Reno, Nevada using Casia G. Kongsberg Geospatial now offers an operator situational awareness display fully integrated with Casia G that will provide visual cues, alerts and warnings as Casia G detects an intruder or if loss of separation occurs.

Iris Automation pioneered Casia I and Casia X, the first on-board, autonomous commercial collision avoidance safety systems for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Casia G leverages the same AI and computer vision technology – but stationary – to detect aircraft as they approach your UAS operation. In achieving the FAA waiver, Iris Automation had to prove a performant sensor solution for conducting safe BVLOS operations, which will be unlocking the full potential of drones. This revolutionary sensor capability is combined with the decades of Kongsberg...

Open Maps For Europe releases open cadastral map prototype and

Posted in CartoNews

May 13, 2022 -- Open Maps for Europe has released an Open Cadastral Map prototype which provides large-scale coverage for four countries. 

The data is now available via the  Open Maps interface[1] and this first iteration includes Poland, The Netherlands, Czech Republic and Spain. 

The map takes INSPIRE open data and allows the user to find out what is available from national sources in one place before obtaining the data from the official provider. The cadastral map comprises four data types: Administrative Units, Cadastral Parcels (and Cadastral Zones), Buildings (and Building Parts) and Addresses.

The Open Maps For Europe project, which is co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility of the European Union, is coordinated by EuroGeographics in partnership with the National Geographic Institute (NGI) Belgium.

Angela Baker, Programme Manager, Data Access and Integration, EuroGeographics  says: “We have used our unique data integration process to produce the Open Cadastral Map prototype using members data, and we expect to add more coverage in the future.”

“The Open Cadastral Map is a service to show the end user what is available from the Cadastral Agencies, it does not replicate the data that our members provide.  Features can be identified via the map interface and can be consumed via the WMS. Links are available to access...
