A collaboration with ANRA Technologies integrates cloud platforms and ground-based solutions for airspace awareness and UAV detection. SIOP systems are increasingly being proposed to monitor airspace for smaller UAVs that do not have ADS-B beacons or wireless identification. The SIOP application provides a single integrated visualisation that detects, locates and tracks both cooperative aircraft with beacons and, more important, non-cooperative aircraft. The Echodyne radar can be used independently or fused with other sensors for a complete and correlated airspace picture of all sizes of uncrewed aircraft in the airspace on a single display. Ensuring safe UAV operations in the presence of other aircraft is key for the mass roll-out of uncrewed systems for medical deliveries and urban mobility. Improved and comprehensive airspace awareness also helps security agencies, law enforcement entities and other government officials to distinguish between cooperative or authorised airspace users from those potentially posing a safety or security risk. This will become vital as the number of UAVs in operation increases in all classes of airspace. “The SIOP is scalable and adaptable to any region worldwide by providing the most accurate information about all airspace participants,” said Amit Ganjoo, CEO of ANRA Technologies. Echodyne uses metamaterials to create an electronic scanning array radar that is more accurate than other radar systems and is also smaller, allowing the SIOP system to be set up wherever it is needed. Echodyne’s EchoGuard CR radar can provide data for up to 20 simultaneous tracks with latitude, longitude, range, velocity, bearing and closing time to detect. It can assess air targets within a 120° azimuth and 80° elevation field of view. A Matrice 600 UAV can be detected at 350 m, while a smaller Phantom 4 UAV can be detected within 225 m.
