First Drone Flight Test with Radar in the Books
BELLEVUE, Wash. - A radar-equipped drone is blazing a trail for the day when flying robots fill the skies - and deliver your packages.
The drone took to the air last month in Texas for a series of tests aimed at finding out how well Bellevue-based Echodyne's miniaturized detect-and-avoid radar could spot obstacles and other aircraft. The results confirmed that Echodyne is on the right track.
"It's great to see our technology performing in real-world field tests exactly as designed," Eben Frankenberg, Echodyne's founder and CEO, said in a news release timed to coincide with this week's Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management Convention in upstate New York.
