The MatrixSpace Difference – A New Chapter in Sensing and Situational Awareness
MatrixSpace, a U.S. radar and AI sensing company, has set about re-imagining radar with its MatrixSpace Radar.
Radar Re-Imagined: A Q&A with Dan Nobbe, VP of RF and Radar Systems, MatrixSpace
Dan leads development for RF and radar systems and holds advisory roles across the industry, accelerating the development of integrated RF products.
The Personalization of the Outdoors
We’ve grown up seeing the profound impact that personal computing and smartphones have made in our everyday lives. This was made possible by two megatrends.
The Next Frontier – Autonomy and Edge Sensing
Attending AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2023? In addition to our booth #3110 we’re also hosting a dynamic panel discussion The Next Frontier – Autonomy and Edge Sensing.
XCELLENCE in Technology – Enabling Components & Peripherals
We’ve just learnt MatrixSpace is a finalist in the AUVSI’s XCELLENCE Awards 2023 for “Xcellence in Technology – Enabling Components & Peripherals”! This is very exciting.
Advanced Intelligence from the Air – Drone as a First Responder
What if drones could provide public safety teams with detailed info ahead of scene arrival, for informed decisions faster? Meet Drone As First Responder (DFR) programs.
Curiosity and Asking “Why Not?”
Dan brings a formidable track record to the MatrixSpace team. He leads development for RF and radar systems and holds advisory roles across the industry, accelerating the development of RF integration into integrated circuit products.
Intelligent Sensing to the Rescue
The application of intelligent sensing is a hot topic, with innovators and researchers continuously breaking new ground. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a big thrust behind these new sensor developments.
Who Wants to Change the World?
Long ago, when I was a Senior at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and trying to decide which offer to take and how to manage “this fork in the road“ moment, it was a choice between a traditional business route or the emerging technology route.

MatrixSpace Brings Portable Counter-Drone Radar to Lithuanian Exercise
The xTechCounter Strike winner deploys portable AI-powered radar to strengthen low-altitude airspace awareness for M-SHORAD units in Pabradė. MatrixSpace is supporting the U.S. Army’s Flytrap 5.0 counter-drone exercise from May 1 through May 15, 2026. The Massachusetts-based company announced its participation on May 12. The deployment follows its xTechCounter Strike win during Flytrap 4.5 in November 2025.
MatrixSpace provides airspace awareness for Operation FlyTrap 5.0
MatrixSpace is supporting the FlyTrap 5.0 training exercise (May 1-15, 2026) with its sensor providing rapidly deployable airspace awareness after winning the xTechCounter Strike competition in Operation Flytrap 4.5 in November 2025. Project Flytrap 5.0 is a major U.S. Army-led counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) exercise taking place in Lithuania in May. “This initiative brings together US and UK forces to test and validate new, low-cost, and portable drone detection and defeat technologies, designed to counter rapidly evolving threats on the battlefield.” “The Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD), designated as the “SGT Stout,” is a U.S. Army system designed to protect maneuvering forces from unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), rotary-wing, and fixed-wing threats,” said the company. “But today’s fight is increasingly dominated by low-altitude, small UAS that are hard to detect and even harder to track. These threats operate in the clutter—RF-silent FPVs, loitering munitions, and pop-up drones that compress engagement timelines and often evade traditional sensors”.
MatrixSpace enhances airspace during Flytrap 5.0 exercise
MatrixSpace is providing enhanced airspace awareness during the U.S. Army-led Flytrap 5.0 counter-drone training exercise taking place May 1–15, 2026, in Lithuania. The company’s participation follows its success in the xTechCounter Strike competition during Operation Flytrap 4.5 in November 2025.
Five Good Questions: MatrixSpace
Matthew Kling, VP and General Manager of AI Systems at MatrixSpace, leading development of the AiCloud and AiEdge platforms, answers five very good questions form the executive editor of Inside Unmanned Systems.
Building the Full Stack for Counter UAS Technology, with Matt Kling
Matt Collins speaks with Matt Kling, VP and general manager of AI Systems at MatrixSpace. The two discuss how the Safer Skies Act has shaped demand for counter-UAS technology, why gaps still exist between what agencies need and what's being deployed, and how MatrixSpace is approaching the counter-UAS challenge as a radar-first, hardware-and-software hybrid company.
