Press Releases

Lausanne, Switzerland – April 22, 2024 – INVOLI, a leading provider of cooperative air traffic surveillance solutions, is thrilled to announce its partnership with MatrixSpace, an expert in non-cooperative air traffic detection. This partnership marks a significant milestone in aviation safety and surveillance technology.

By combining INVOLI’s cooperative air traffic detection capabilities with MatrixSpace’s expertise in non-cooperative air traffic detection, customers can now access unparalleled traffic awareness through a single platform or API. This integration provides a level of simplicity and cost-effectiveness previously unattainable in the industry.

INVOLI specializes in detecting cooperative air traffic for aircraft surveillance data, while MatrixSpace excels in detecting non-cooperative air traffic using its miniaturized primary radar technology. The integration of these two cutting-edge hardware products allows for complete air traffic surveillance in a single deployment. MatrixSpace Radar offers robust situational awareness of both airborne and ground-based objects, regardless of lighting and weather conditions. This facilitates highly accurate drone detection and Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (CUAS) capabilities, Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flight for uncrewed, autonomous and tethered aircraft, and overall general aviation safety. MatrixSpace Radar is a very low SWaP-C (size, weight, power and cost), requires no additional infrastructure and is deployable in minutes without specialist training.

“This collaboration between INVOLI and MatrixSpace represents a significant advancement in air traffic surveillance technology,” said Manu Lubrano, CEO of INVOLI. “By merging our respective strengths, we are empowering our customers with comprehensive and seamless air traffic awareness, ultimately enhancing safety and efficiency in various operational contexts.”

Echoing Manu’s sentiments, Lori DeMatteis, CRO of MatrixSpace, added, “Our partnership with INVOLI enables us to offer a holistic solution that meets the evolving needs of the aviation industry. Together, we are revolutionizing air traffic surveillance by providing a unified platform for detecting both cooperative and non-cooperative air traffic.”

This integrated solution is poised to transform various sectors, including beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations and the surveillance of sensitive sites such as prisons and energy infrastructure. The ability to detect both cooperative and non-cooperative air traffic in one deployment opens up new possibilities for enhanced safety and security across diverse applications.

Major step for managing growing volume of metrics for low-altitude, autonomous flight

Burlington, MA (January 5, 2024) – MatrixSpace and INVOLVI have co-led the first F3623-23 Standard Specification for Surveillance Supplementary Data Service Provider (SDSP) published by ASTM International.

SDSPs support UAS operators by supplying air traffic surveillance, weather, terrain, obstacle clearance and other data specific to the area of operation, particularly for the challenges at the under-400 feet airspace common to autonomous operations.

To date, various sensors such as radar, Lidar, optical, Transponder Modes A, C, or S and ADS-B, have lacked a common platform to collect and disseminate the surveillance data. UAS operators must establish individual, point-to-point connections to different sensor providers, which is cumbersome and costly. They then receive track data regarding an intruder from different sources and must validate each track.

This global SDSP standard establishes benchmark requirements for collecting air traffic surveillance data and then disseminating it to users. SDSPs can now develop data fusion capabilities for a single, fused track, eliminating the complexity and providing a “one-stop shop” for surveillance services.

Quote from Akaki Kunchulia, Airspace Regulations, MatrixSpace

‍“Industry-driven standards are essential for the UAS industry to ensure requirements are based on practical, real-world implementations and SDSPs play a vital role in expanding the UTM ecosystem and the overall safety of UAS operations. This standard allows them to focus on product development adhering to this standard which in turn ensures a level of integration not previously possible. As radar and other sensing capabilities become more advanced, we can integrate them easily into the wider surveillance service.”

The ASTM International recently published another SDSP standard for weather information. These efforts incentivize the UAS industry to build products that comply with these standards and have high confidence from the regulators. Regulators worldwide consider compliance with the standards one of the top requirements for operational approvals.

Quote from co-sponsor Manu Lubrano, CEO, INVOLVI
“As low-altitude BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) autonomous and semi-autonomous flight proliferates, there is a growing need to provide a standard way to monitor air activities for collision avoidance. This is one of the key challenges facing the UAS industry to operate safely and at scale. This standard allows SDSPs to provide complex but streamlined surveillance data to multiple users and, in turn, enable more BVLOS flights.”

With its very low SWaP-C (size, weight, power and cost), MatrixSpace Radar provides robust situational awareness of both airborne and ground-based objects, regardless of lighting and weather conditions. This in turn facilitates the long awaited Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flight for uncrewed and autonomous aircraft, as well as enhancing safety for general aviation.

Compact, high-performance radar enabling multiple industries to digitize the outdoors for new levels of awareness

Burlington, MA (April 18, 2023) – Radar and AI sensing innovator MatrixSpace announces MatrixSpace Radar.

It is the first offering of a highly differentiated series of AI sensing products addressing the need for affordable, long-distance sensing, tracking, monitoring and inspection solutions for use on the ground or in the air. It is the smallest, lightest and most portable high-performance radar available, opening opportunities for previously unaffordable or completely new applications. Digitizing the outdoors is the ability to measure the size, location, and movement of objects in time, shifting reliance from human sensing to a far more detailed recognition of objects and their movements.

Current radar offerings are either basic solutions with limited range, or expensive military-grade offerings which are heavy, consume high amounts of power, require specialist skills to operate, and are difficult to set up. MatrixSpace Radar addresses this unserved middle area for large-scale use cases. These include semi-autonomous mobile platforms such as robots, drones, and eVTOLs; general aviation such as helicopters; and systems such as portable or fixed security systems, target tracking systems, and sports performance analysis.

MatrixSpace’s mission is to offer real-time AI edge-based sensing with the ability to detect and track multiple types of objects in any situation. Combining industry leading sensing, AI edge processing and RF communication in real-time is a major technology breakthrough that will reinvent business models across multiple vertical market applications. The MatrixSpace Radar is the foundational product of this open architecture sensing platform.

Quote from Greg Waters, Co-founder & CEO, MatrixSpace
“We’re bringing high performance radar and AI sensing products to mainstream industries that have never even considered their use. Our radar architecture represents a completely different way for customers across a variety of industries to digitize the outdoors, then using AI to inform them of exactly what’s out there. It’s a radically new level of situational awareness.”

Key features include:

• Detects and tracks objects kilometers away in the air and on the ground.
• Operates in all weather conditions, day and night, in smoke and fog.
• Cell phone size, weighing under a pound.
• Ultra-low power consumption, allowing for AC power or battery/solar panel operation for remote or mobile deployment.
• Phased array technology for fast electronic scanning plus industry leading range, angular resolution and 3D fixing capability.
• Software-defined radar with programmable waveform and signal processing.
• On-board radar data processing and 4D tracking (size, position and time).

Quote from Dan Nobbe, Vice President of RF and Radar Systems, MatrixSpace
“The opportunity to re-think radar technology is long overdue. With progress in silicon integration and AI, we can now deliver high-performance radars at a breakthrough performance, size and power.”
