American Robotics Optimus System: Redefining Commercial Drone Applications

A layered system of airspace awareness makes flight beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and without visual observers safe and feasible from a regulatory standpoint. The Optimus system leverages technology from SenHive, Echodyne, and ANRA to provide that layered awareness. SenHive provides passive airspace awareness: “listening” boxes that can pick up other aircraft from a significant distance: detecting ADS-B, AIS, Flarm (used for gliders in Europe), Remote ID, Mode-S. SenHive can also monitor GPS and connectivity signals for BVLOS flight. Echodyne’s EchoGuard short-range, software-defined, micro-doppler FMCW radar detects all vehicles: aircraft, ships, ground vehicles, and more. ANRA’s SIOP system takes that information and puts it into a common operational picture. ANRA layers in even more data, including regulatory data like NOTAMs, Blue Force management (which can detect first responders) and weather. The ANRA system handles operational processes including flight planning and deconfliction problems. The combination of technologies has enabled American Robotics to successfully achieve FAA permission for BVLOS operations without visual observers or within the constraints of shielded operations.

Such a shame that we did not get mentioned seeing these system all work in Unison as ..... Elsight’s Halo, the ultimate drone connectivity platform, delivers absolute connection confidence globally, even in the most challenging areas and has the remote ID built in .

Elsight’s Halo is the first AI-powered connectivity solution for drones, guaranteeing constant uptime and connection between drones and ground control stations — Stationary, portable or mobile

Last time i checked a crucial part of the FAA TC was Halo and the safety of connection confidence .
