PrecisionHawk Reveals BVLOS Detection Solution
System Integrates Sara's Acoustics Technology
PrecisionHawk has added acoustics-based aircraft detection to help drone operators "see" aircraft that are not ADS-B equipped.
PrecisionHawk has added acoustics-based aircraft detection to help drone operators "see" aircraft that are not ADS-B equipped.

PrecisionHawk is incorporating Sara’s acoustics-based aircraft detection (ABAD) technology into its onboard UAS beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) solution to identify non-cooperating aircraft such as cropdusters, helicopters, and small general aviation fixed-wing aircraft that might not be equipped with ADS-B transponders. Company CEO Michael Chasen said the system can detect aircraft up to 10 km away within a 360-degree ring around the drone and it doesn’t weigh much more than an iPhone and a few antennas.
