T-motor Jiangxi-Xintuo Enterprise Co Ltd T-MOTOR ® THE SAFER PROPULSION SYSTEM A SERIES MODULAR PROPULSION Dual Inputs: PWM/CAN Thrust Up To: 57kg A next level with an upgraded cooling configuration WWW.TMOTOR.COM Platform one INVOLI has teamed up with MatrixSpace to add a non-cooperative air-traffic radar detector to its management system, writes Nick Flaherty. INVOLI’s cooperative air-traffic detection capabilities are combined with MatrixSpace’s compact, groundbased radar for non-cooperative UAV detection to provide a single platform and applications programming interface (API) for monitoring all kinds of aircraft. INVOLI specialises in detecting cooperative air traffic, while MatrixSpace detects non-cooperative air traffic using its miniaturised, primary radar technology. The MatrixSpace radar offers robust situational awareness of airborne and ground-based objects, regardless of lighting and weather, for highly accurate UAV detection. The ground-based radar measures 141 x 87 x 42 mm, requires no extra infrastructure and is deployable in minutes without specialist training. It provides Range Velocity Maps and Target Detections, as well as 3D point clouds. The radar can identify a quadcopter UAV flying towards it at a distance of 986 m and radial velocity of 431 m/s. This radar links to INVOLI’s Multilateration system, which provides aviation surveillance data to allow both crewed and uncrewed operations, including autonomous and beyond-visual-lineof-sight (BVLOS). With hundreds of proprietary air-traffic receivers deployed worldwide, it uses a mix of hardware and software to combine live data streams with data analytics. The system is certified in Germany by DFS (Deutsche Flugsicherung) for the control of aviation obstacle lights, while all the INVOLI hardware is Swiss-made. The MatrixSpace radar is made in the US. The combined system can be used for the surveillance of sensitive sites, such as prisons and energy infrastructure, as its ability to detect both cooperative and noncooperative air traffic in one deployment provides enhanced safety and security.
