The Latest Updates, Perspectives and Stories From MatrixSpace

DroneSense customers can now seamlessly conduct remote operations with comprehensive airspace awareness in a common operating picture with the inclusion of MatrixSpace radar detection intelligence.

The usage of radar for guiding vehicles and protecting people/places is strictly regulated for safety and to ensure reliability across radio spectrums. Your use case dictates how to comply with rules for radionavigation and radiolocation.

The recent New Jersey drone panic has made it clear: people want to know what’s flying in low altitude airspace. Why can’t we provide the level of clarity demanded? What’s needed to make it happen?

In the ever-evolving landscape of prison security, the advent of drone technology has introduced new challenges.

While there’s a lot of attention given to drone detection and counter drone solutions, we also hear from customers about the need for higher levels of ground and air surveillance in the general aviation space.

In the past twenty years, we’ve seen amazing advances in sensors of many varieties.

There’s a common misconception in the UAS industry when talking about surveillance and operational volumes for UAS operations.

A limitation in UAS operations for DFRs (Drone as First Responder) programs is the requirement for visual line-of-sight (VLOS) of the Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC).

The future of DFR seeks to eliminate the need for rooftop personnel, or VOs, entirely, simplifying the process into a single-person teleoperation and enabling true BVLOS operations.

We created a mascot based on a MatrixSpacer’s beloved family dog – who loves to be part of everything we do and talk about around the MatrixSpace office.

Classifying MatrixSpace Radar system as solely part of the IoT would be a limiting perspective.

Over a year since Russia invaded Ukraine, one thing is clear: commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) drones have changed the face of warfare.
Latest News

Drones carrying various sensors are being deployed globally to help secure borders and protect the agents who patrol them, while counter-UAS systems are being leveraged to safely take drones with nefarious payloads out of service.

The Palm Springs Police Department (PSPD) has expanded its Drone as First Responder (DFR) program, establishing the largest first responder agency coverage area (37 square miles) monitored by radar sensors instead of humans in the United States. The PSPD’s program expansion was made possible with multiple remote drone launch points across Palm Springs utilizing MatrixSpace’s low airspace awareness technology. This innovation has also supported the city’s application for a FAA No Visual Observer flight operations waiver to ensure the safe separation and avoidance of both general aviation and commercial aircraft.

HSWERX, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) innovation hub, selected MatrixSpace radar to provide advanced air detection to support uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations. The technology has potential applications across a variety of mission environments, including the DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.

MatrixSpace has integrated Dell NativeEdge to enhance AI-powered radar solutions for public safety and smart city applications. The MatrixSpace 360 radar uses edge computing for real-time object detection, classification, and decision-making without relying on cloud processing. Dell NativeEdge improves the speed, security, and scalability of MatrixSpace’s situational awareness technology. The City of Palm Springs Police Department uses this technology in its “Drone as First Responder” program to enhance emergency response and public safety. The radar system provides a 360-degree field of view, long detection range, and interconnectable nodes for low airspace awareness.

Aerospace technology provider Sagetech Avionics has selected AI sensing system innovator MatrixSpace to support its advanced airspace solutions. Sagetech Avionics empowers safe flight in crewed and uncrewed aircraft with certifiable situational awareness solutions, serving military, public and commercial organizations. MatrixSpace and Sagetech Avionics recently partnered to win an HSWERX award from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for their work on advanced air detection supporting uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations. The solution has potential applications across a variety of mission environments, including the DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.
