Boeing accelerates sending 1,000 smart bombs to Israel after Hamas attacks

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/13/2023 - 09:00 in Military, War Zones

Boeing accelerated the delivery of 1,000 smart bombs to Israel as the country intensifies retaliation against Hamas after the devastating weekend attack that killed hundreds of people, industry and defense officials said.

The 250-pound small diameter bombs, part of a 2021 contract, were transported from a U.S. Air Force base by Israeli Air Force transport, according to an industry official who asked not to be identified when discussing the agreements.

A senior defense official who spoke to reporters on Monday said that the ammunition sent in a hurry to Israel was not part of a “foreign military sale” between governments, but rather part of a “direct commercial sale” between the contractor and Israel that was already underway.

A second defense officer said on Tuesday that the first officer was referring to accelerated transactions as part of a May 2021 direct commercial sale between Boeing and Israel, which the State Department estimated at $735 million over several years. It also includes kits to convert unguided bombs into GPS-guided Joint Direct Attack Ammunition. No JDAM kit has been sent yet, said one employee.

The weapons, which can be launched by Israeli jets more than 64 kilometers away - each aimed at specific targets - "provide the means to accurately target terrorists in Gaza, while minimizing civilian casualties," said Brad Bowman, a military analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, which monitors military issues in the Middle East. He said this is an important capability, considering that Hamas holds Israeli hostages.

The May 2021 sale was controversial when Congress was notified by the Biden administration. Senator Bernie Sanders and some members of the House acted to block the proposal to sell in protest against the Israeli attacks in Gaza at the time, but the proposal was not voted on, according to the Congressional Investigation Service.

A Boeing spokesman did not want to comment. According to a U.S. Air Force information leaflet, the small size of the Small Diameter Pump (SDB) “inherently reduces the likelihood of collateral damage”.

Separately, the Biden administration is expected to announce new arms supplies to Israel, which receives more than $3 billion in U.S. military aid every year.

BNHA self insert AU Character info: Jin Matsui

Nani the heck is this? Read here!

Name: Jin Matsui age: 15 gender: Male sexuality: Cis-gender, Asexual quirk: Portal school: UA high class: Intelligence Courses (Secret Service section of the school, tho not canon, is a lesser known section of UA with small class sizes)

Likes: Memes, coffee, technology, eggs

Dislikes: Jump scares, bullies, the foster care system, butts

Quirk:

What it does: summon portals to transport self/anything/anyone from point A to point B

flaw/limit:

1) Max portal size is at 50,000 sqft before complete exhaustion. 2) point B portal destination can be anywhere in the world but never 100% the exact location (i.e. if he’s portaling to school, he’d end up in the middle of the school field instead of the front gate) 3) If being careless or not in the best mental state, point B is going to be a random location in the world.

About the family:

unknown since he was separated from his parents at 3 years old. All he knows:

he was the youngest of at least 8 children

he was born in Korea

his father was a wanted criminal that was responsible for the disappearances of heavy debt individuals in Korea and Mongolia

His mother is a suspected accomplice of the father’s crimes

Has an uncle on his father side that resides in Seoul but wants nothing to do with him because of his father

Combat techniques and preferences:

With his quirk, he makes a good mode of transport and escape but bad in combat. He’s more of the tech and detonate of the team. If put in a combat situation, his choice technique is kickbox-y and uses blades. Prefers to not to be put in the position to choose life or death UNLESS it involves Ita and/or Mimi, then he’d do anything to save them. Good at strategy but not on par with Ita, often you’d find them butting heads on what the plan should be.

About :

Son of criminal parents in Korea and youngest of 8, Jin didn’t grow up in the best household. When his quirk first manifested at 3 years old, he accidentally transported himself to Yougin from his discreet home in Suncheon. Wasn’t long before social workers found him and tried to reconnect him to his family. DNA testing lead them to his uncle in Seoul but didn’t want anything to do with Jin because of his criminal father. Since then he’s been bounced around foster homes and deemed unadoptable because of his anti-socialness. Though gifted and being well-behaved, people wanted an energetic and sporty boy. At 12 years old, he got placed in foster home with an abusive parent, so when he found the opportunity, he escaped with only his birth certificate, school ID, money from a pawned item he stole and a Japanese to Korean language book. He portaled himself to the nearest dock, snuck into an imports boat heading to Japan with some food rations and studied up on Japanese so he live his new life. Upon arriving, social workers in Japan couldn’t send him back since he entered under asylum so they worked around it and sent him to a Boys’ House (or ひきこもり housing) and enrolled him in Middle school. Being top of the class made him pursue to enroll in Intelligence Programs and got accepted to UA with full ride.

School life:

Similar to Ita’s academic test out of most general studies but english. Very good and studious, social circle limited to pretty much just Ita and Mimi. Everyone else in their class is alright to work with but always wants to be in a group with Ita and Mimi. Always the outlandish and extra one when it comes to projects. When doing quirk training, he has to monitor and track a ball with a tracking device to control the point B portal location. Likes to pull pranks on the upperclassmen, just because. Likes to party but not too hard with all of Intelligence kids. Prefers to type his notes than write them. Lived in a Boy’s Home until the introduction of dorms.

Uniform and Costume:

He just wears the uniform as it was meant to, nothing special to look different aside from a flag pin. For costume, he designed his to be long sleeved and full leg jump suit with touch screen compatible gloves, weightless slip ons and half face googles. Agent number (21) and flag on the front breast pocket. PE clothes are the same as Ita’s but with their last name and flag.

Fun details:

Often talks in memes and goes into random meme dance. Though seen as a kid genius, he craves affection and LOVES to be babied. Can cook and likes to cook for ONLY Ita and Mimi. Jin considers Ita and Mimi as his family and cares for them when they’re suffering. His background picture on his phone is the three of them getting trashed at the 1st kickback of the semester with their class (a classmate took the picture and sent it to him the next day). Toys with robotics and AI on his own time. Remember that lizard that ran into the class on the first day? Jin kept it as a pet and trained it to shoot a gun along with other stunts, he named him Zippy because ‘he go fast’. If he didn’t pursue being in the secret service, he would’ve gone for engineering and developing for practial robotics. Matsui isn’t his family name but a name of an appliance company that he adopted as his own as a young teen. When he gets sleep deprived (often with Ita and Mimi) at day 3 of no sleep, he doesn’t talk in any language, only in rythmic screeches and dance that only Ita knows to interpret.

===========================================================

Thanks for reading my lil character info on my babyboi Jin (uwu)! I based his character image off of Hobi from BTS (I’m not k-pop trash, theres a meme floating around of Hobi that says ‘please don’t eat my ass sprits’). Mimi will be next but after chapter 2. I have more OCs in this AU but more on them when they get introduced.

OCs: Itati * Mimi

Chapter 1 * 2

Riico industrial area Bhiwadi plots

Rajasthan State Industrial and Investment Corporation restricted was established in Gregorian calendar month 1980. The most functions of RIICO ar to produce up to date infrastructural facilities and services to the entrepreneurs and allot public land for economic development of Rajasthan. However, the organization has didn't meet its supposed objectives.

In 2011, a accountant and Auditor General of India report found that between 2005 and 2010, the organization planned to develop twenty six industrial estates having a area of 8,986 acres similar to quite 8,000 soccer fields. Further, the CAG reported that there was a delay of twelve years by RIICO in developing twelve industrial units having a pair of,445 acres of land. To boot, 2,159 acres of land non heritable by RIICO between 2005 and 2009 wasn't developed into industrial areas.

The corporation didn't take the possession of 2,014 acres of land despite paying the compensation quantity of ₹ 117 large integer to native landowners. As on March 2005, 8,224 acres of land was lying unused in twenty four industrial areas across the state manifesting the abject failure of the Rajasthan government to effectively use public land. RIICO conjointly didn't give to basic infrastructure facilities like street lighting, installation, and quality roads in industrial areas, that affected the economic growth within the state.

RIICO exploited the land they non heritable within the name of commercial development. From 2005 the land beneath proceeding or encroachment command by RIICO redoubled from 260 acres to 651 acres in 2010. The worth of the encroached land went up from ₹8 large integer to ₹83 large integer. The organization conjointly has no data concerning their own 1,540 acres of commercial areas.

If a personal company closely-held such immense tracts of land parcels, wouldn’t it defend them from encroachments and develop it for use? Solely a agency will afford to possess immense tracts of valuable land and it's encroached upon and even forget that it owns the precious land.

There were intensive irregularities concerned within the allotment of land to firms for putting in place industries. In 2006, RIICO assigned ten acres of land to United Breweries restricted within the Chopanki Industrial space (Bhiwadi II). The land was reserved for hospitals, parks, and roads however was entertained for the noble purpose of production brew. RIICO sanctioned the plot for ₹1,000 per sq. m. However, the prevailing rate was between ₹1,590 per sq. m. and ₹1,800 per sq.m. This crystal rectifier to the loss of ₹1.36 large integer to Rajasthan taxpayers.

In 2007, RIICO assigned twenty five acres of land to a corporation within the Patherdi industrial space in while not mentioning the very fact that the land was beneath proceeding. The corporate couldn't undertake any industrial activity on the land. Further, RIICO assigned thirty acres of land to Orient Craft restricted to set-up business. However, the corporate failed to set-up something on the assigned land whereas it received undue favors of ₹85 hundred thousand by receiving associate degree direct rebate.

These are simply a couple of samples of irregularities happened in land allotment by RIICO. The inefficiencies within the functioning of RIICO have invariably been the case regardless of that government is within the power.

Irregularities at RIICO show however bureaucrats operating within the name of development misuse public resources for his or her personal gains. Within the 1st place, we tend to don’t even want industrial development companies like RIICO if we've got a restrictive surroundings contributory for doing business. Organizations like RIICO solely waste public resources that may are used far more with efficiency for the economic development of the country.

Drone deliveries by UPS get FAA clearance for widespread takeoff

youtube

ATLANTA — UPS Flight Forward Inc. announced yesterday that the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has awarded it the first full certification for a “drone airline,” or commercial drone deliveries. The subsidiary of United Parcel Service of America Inc. said it plans to start by expanding drone deliveries to hospitals nationwide.

The FAA granted UPS the first Part 135 Standard certification last Friday. Under the certification, an unmanned aerial system (UAS) and its payload can weigh more than 55 lb., flights can occur at night, and there is no limit to the distance (in non-urban areas) or the number of drones or operators. UPS said the certification will allow it to scale its operations to meet customer demand.

“This is a big step forward in safely integrating unmanned aircraft systems into our airspace, expanding access to healthcare in North Carolina, and building on the success of the national UAS Integration Pilot Program to maintain American leadership in unmanned aviation,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao.

Wing Aviation, a subsidiary of Google parent Alphabet Inc., received air carrier certification from the FAA in April for drone deliveries in Blacksburg, Va. Wing was also testing in Canberra, Australia, and GE Aviation’s AiRXOS unit used a custom drone to deliver a kidney in Baltimore. More recently, UPS created UPS Flight Forward in July.

Other companies working on drone deliveries include DHL, FedEx and Walgreens, and Uber and McDonald’s.

In addition to advising the FAA on drone regulations, UPS said it has tested drones for urgent commercial deliveries over water, funded and supported humanitarian deliveries in Africa, and made non-urgent commercial deliveries to residences in rural areas with drones launched from a package-delivery vehicle.

UPS just starting drone deliveries

UPS said it launched the first commercial drone delivery under Part 135. With an exemption allowing beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operation, UPS flew a Matternet M2 quadcopter to deliver blood for transfusion at WakeMed’s hospital campus in Raleigh, N.C. It had been testing flights there since March.

“This is history in the making, and we aren’t done yet,” stated David Abney, CEO of UPS. “Our technology is opening doors for UPS and solving problems in unique ways for our customers. We will soon announce other steps to build out our infrastructure, expand services for healthcare customers, and put drones to new uses in the future.”

UPS said it also plans to develop ground-based, detect-and-avoid (DAA) technologies for drone safety, build a centralized operations control center, and conduct “regular and frequent” BVLOS flights. The logistics company plans to partner with drone makers in addition to Matternet for drones of varying cargo capacities. UPS said it expects to transport “special commodities and other regulated goods.”

African experiments with drone technologies could leapfrog decades of infrastructure neglect

Only 48 hours left to apply for Startup Battlefield Africa 2018

Announcing Startup Battlefield at Disrupt SF 2018

A drone revolution is coming to sub-Saharan Africa.

Countries across the continent are experimenting with this 21st century technology as a way to leapfrog decades of neglect of 20th century infrastructure.

Over the last two years, San Francisco-based startup Zipline launched a national UAV delivery program in East Africa; South Africa passed commercial drone legislation to train and license pilots; and Malawi even opened a Drone Test Corridor to African and its global partners.

In Rwanda, the country’s government became one of the first adopters of performance-based regulations for all drones earlier this year. The country’s progressive UAV programs drew special attention from the White House and two U.S. Secretaries of Transportation.

Some experts believe Africa’s drone space could contribute to UAV development in the U.S. and elsewhere around the globe.

“The fact that [global drone] companies can operate in Africa and showcase amazing use cases…is a big benefit,” said Lisa Ellsman, co-executive director of the Commercial Drone Alliance.

Test in Africa

It’s clear that the UAV programs in Malawi and Rwanda are getting attention from international drone companies.

Opened in 2017, Malawi’s Drone Test Corridor has been accepting global applications. The program is managed by the country’s Civil Aviation Authority in partnership with UNICEF.

The primary purpose is to test UAV’s for humanitarian purposes, but the program “was designed to provide a controlled platform for… governments…and other partners…to explore how UAV’s can help deliver services,” according to Michael Scheibenreif, UNICEF’s drone lead in Malawi.

That decision to include the private sector opened the launch pads for commercial drones. Swedish firm GLOBEHE has tested using the corridor and reps from Chinese e-commerce company JD have toured the site. Other companies to test in Malawi’s corridor include Belgian UAV air traffic systems company Unifly and U.S. delivery drone manufacturer Vayu, according to Scheibenreif.

Though the government of Rwanda is most visible for its Zipline partnership, it shaping a national testing program for multiple drone actors.

“We don’t want to limit ourselves with just one operator,” said Claudette Irere, Director General of the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications (MiTEC).

“When we started with Zipline it was more of a pilot to see if this could work,” she said. “As we’ve gotten more interest and have grown the program…this gives us an opportunity to open up to other drone operators, and give space to our local UAV operators.”

Irere said Rwanda has been approached by 16 drone operators, “some of them big names”—but could not reveal them due to temporary NDAs. She also highlighted Charis UAS, a Rwandan drone company, that’s used the country’s test program, and is now operating commercially in and outside of Rwanda.

UAV Policy

Africa’s commercial drone history is largely compressed to a handful of projects and countries within the last 5-7 years. Several governments have jumped out ahead on UAV policy.

In 2016, South Africa passed drone legislation regulating the sector under the country’s Civil Aviation Authority. The guidelines set training requirements for commercial drone pilots to receive Remote Pilot Licenses (RPLs) for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems. At the end of 2017 South Africa had registered 686 RPLs and 663 drone aircraft systems, according to a recent State of Drone Report.

Over the last year and a half Kenya, Ghana, and Tanzania have issued or updated drone regulatory guidelines and announced future UAV initiatives.

In 2018, Rwanda extended its leadership role on drone policy when it adopted performance-based regulations for all drones—claiming to be the first country in the world to do so.

So what does this mean?

“In performance-based regulation the government states this is our safety threshold and you companies tell us the combination of technologies and operational mitigations you’re going to use to meet it,” said Timothy Reuter, Civil Drones Project Head at the World Economic Forum.

Lisa Ellsman, shared a similar interpretation.

“Rather than the government saying ‘you have to use this kind of technology to stop your drone,’ they would say, ‘your drone needs to be able to stop in so many seconds,’” she said.

This gives the drone operators flexibility to build drones around performance targets, vs. “prescriptively requiring a certain type of technology,” according to Ellsman.

Rwanda is still working out the implementation of its performance-based regulations, according to MiTEC’s Claudette Irere. They’ve entered a partnership with the World Economic Forum to further build out best practices. Rwanda will also soon release an online portal for global drone operators to apply to test there.

As for Rwanda being first to release performance-based regulations, that’s disputable. “Many States around the world have been developing and implementing performance-based regulations for unmanned aircraft,” said Leslie Cary, Program Manager for the International Civil Aviation Authority’s Remotely Piloted Aircraft System. “ICAO has not monitored all of these States to determine which was first,” she added.

Other governments have done bits and pieces of Rwanda’s drone policy, according to Timothy Reuter, the head of the civil drones project at the World Economic Forum. “But as currently written in Rwanda, it’s the broadest implementation of performance based regulations in the world.”

Commercial Use Cases

As the UAV programs across Africa mature, there are a handful of strong examples and several projects to watch.

With Zipline as the most robust and visible drone use case in Sub-Saharan Africa.

While the startup’s primary focus is delivery of critical medical supplies, execs repeatedly underscore that Zipline is a for-profit venture backed by $41 million in VC.

The San Francisco-based robotics company — that also manufactures its own UAVs — was one of the earliest drone partners of the government of Rwanda.

Zipline demonstration

The alliance also brought UPS and the UPS Foundation into the mix, who supports Zipline with financial and logistical support.

After several test rounds, Zipline went live with the program in October, becoming the world’s first national drone delivery program at scale.

“We’ve since completed over 6000 deliveries and logged 500,000 flight kilometers,” Zipline co-founder Keenan Wyrobek told TechCrunch. “We’re planning to go live in Tanzania soon and talking to some other African countries.”

In May Zipline was accepted into the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Pilot Program (UAS IPP). Out of 149 applicants, the Africa focused startup was one of 10 selected to participate in a drone pilot in the U.S.– to operate beyond visual line of sight medical delivery services in North Carolina.

In a non-delivery commercial use case, South Africa’s Rocketmine has built out a UAV survey business in 5 countries. The company looks to book $2 million in revenue in 2018 for its “aerial data solutions” services in mining, agriculture, forestry, and civil engineering.

“We have over 50 aircraft now, compared to 15 a couple years ago,” Rocketmine CEO Christopher Clark told TechCrunch. “We operate in South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, and moved into Mexico.”

Rocketmine doesn’t plan to enter delivery services, but is looking to expand into the surveillance and security market. “After the survey market that’s probably the biggest request we get from our customers,” said Clark.

More African use cases are likely to come from the Lake Victoria Challenge — a mission specific drone operator challenge set in Tanzania’s Mwanza testing corridor. WeRobotics has also opened FlyingLabs in Kenya, Tanzania, and Benin. And the government of Zambia is reportedly working with Sony’s Aerosense on a drone delivery pilot program.

Africa and Global UAV

With Europe, Asia, and the U.S. rapidly developing drone regulations and testing (or already operating) delivery programs (see JD.com in China), Africa may not take the sole position as the leader in global UAV development — but these pilot projects in the particularly challenging environments these geographies (and economies) represent will shape the development of the drone industry.

The continent’s test programs — and Rwanda’s performance-based drone regulations in particular — could advance beyond visual line of sight UAV technology at a quicker pace. This could set the stage for faster development of automated drone fleets for remote internet access, commercial and medical delivery, and even give Africa a lead in testing flying autonomous taxis.

“With drones, Africa is willing to take more bold steps more quickly because the benefits are there and the countries have been willing to move in a more agile manner around regulation,” said the WEF’s Reuter.

“There’s an opportunity for Africa to maintain its leadership in this space,” he said. “But the countries need to be willing to take calculated risk to enable technology companies to deploy their solutions there.”

Reuter also underscored the potential for “drone companies that originate in Africa increasingly developing services.”

There’s a case to be made this is already happening with Zipline. Though founded in California, the startup honed its UAVs and delivery model in Rwanda.

“We’re absolutely leveraging our experience built in Africa as we now test through the UAS IPP program to deliver in the U.S.,” said Zipline co-founder Keenan Wyrobek.

Drone Surveillance Market for Energy Industry Estimated to Reach US$ 650 Mn by 2026

The global drone surveillance market for the energy industry was valued at around US$ 130 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of more than 20.0% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled ‘Drone Surveillance Market for Energy Industry – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026.’ Drone can be defined as an unmanned aircraft. It is formally known as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or unmanned aircraft system (UAS). In simpler terms, drone is a flying robot. It can either be remotely controlled or flown autonomously using software-controlled flight plans in its embedded systems, working in conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS.

Requirement of Monitoring, Data Collection, and Data Analysis of Energy Industry Assets Driving Market Growth

The energy industry consists of capital intensive assets. These include power plants and associated distribution lines, wind turbines, solar panels, oil and gas distribution pipelines, mines, ports, and onshore and offshore platforms. These assets need to be in working condition in order to maximize their value and justify the investment. Monitoring and inspecting them on a regular basis helps detect minor issues. So far, this task was being carried out manually by employees of companies that specialize in providing such monitoring services. However, manual monitoring and inspection is a slow process that often takes months to complete. Drones can significantly reduce the time taken to monitor assets, gather relevant data, and analyze the same. This also lowers the costs required to carry out these activities.

Regulations Have Fallen Behind Market Adoption of Drone Surveillance, Affecting Long-term Growth

Countries are still developing regulations specifying the usage of drones. For instance, just a few countries allow drones to transport goods. Many countries do not allow drones to be flown beyond the visual line of sight of pilots. Countries also restrict the areas in which drones can be flown in order to protect national assets such as nuclear power plants, dams, and refineries. Governments are also concerned about the invasion of privacy in case of improper usage of drones. The limited flying duration supported by majority of drones is also a cause for concern. These concerns have compelled governments to restrict the usage of drones. The usage of drones needs to be governed by regulations in order to encourage aspects such as security, safety, privacy, accuracy, and market competition. Implementation of regulations is also likely to encourage energy companies to adopt new technologies.

Request to view Sample Report:

https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=51741

Automation and Analytic Capabilities Present Major Opportunities for Drone Surveillance Providers

Majority of drone surveillance companies can provide comprehensive asset monitoring and data collection services. However, these companies need to have separate software and skillsets for data analysis. Companies can buy a drone from manufacturers and provide monitoring and data collection services; however, not all of them can develop the required software to comprehensively analyze the gathered data. In the long term, companies in the energy industry can be expected to develop their own teams of drones and drone pilots. However, companies are unlikely to develop the necessary analytical software to analyze the collected data. The ability to provide specific services under analytics, predictions, and forecasts is projected to be the major differentiator among drone surveillance companies. Similarly, automation is likely to help companies survive in the long term. Drones can be programmed to take off, fly, and land. However, their short flight durations require them to have the capability to recharge on their own. Drones are expected to be given this capability too in the near future. Automation of data collection and analysis is likely to go a long way in helping companies outperform competitors. Companies with such capabilities are anticipated to complete projects in less time and at lower costs.

Global Drone Surveillance Market for Energy Industry Segmented Based on Type, Application, and Region

In terms of type, the global drone surveillance market for the energy industry can be divided into fixed wing, multirotor, and hybrid. The hybrid segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. This type of drone is at the nascent stage in the market. Based on application, the global drone surveillance market for the energy industry can be segregated into pipeline monitoring & inspection, offshore platform inspection, power plant inspection, inspection of power distribution lines, wind turbine inspection, solar panel inspection, and others. Inspection of power distribution lines is anticipated to be a common application of drone surveillance services. In terms of region, the global drone surveillance market for the energy industry can be classified into North America (the U.S. and Canada), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and Rest of Latin America), Europe (Germany, the U.K., France, Italy, Spain, Russia & CIS, and Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (China, India, Japan, ASEAN, and Rest of Asia Pacific) and Middle East & Africa (GCC, South Africa, and Rest of Middle East & Africa).

U.S. Navy tests new mine detection suite for MQ-8C unmanned helicopter

The U.S. Navy revealed that it has completed a demonstration of a new prototype mine countermeasure (MCM) technology aboard the UAS MQ-8C Fire Scout at Eglin Air Base in Florida.

The technology used by the MQ-8C is known as the Single-system Multi-mission Airborne Mine Detection (SMAMD) system and can provide the service with a capacity for rapid detection and threat response.

The purpose of the demonstration was to gather performance data for the MQ-8C and SMAMD to inform future MCM integration efforts.

"The team has successfully demonstrated that the SMAMD System prototype operates effectively as designed on board the MQ-8C Fire Scout unmanned helicopter in relevant real-world environments," said Captain Thomas Lansley, director of the Fire Scout program. “This state-of-the-art technology can really improve the capacity of Fire Scout from now on.”

The team carried out operations from the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) using the drifting mine warfare suite, tied and anchored throughout the beach area to deep waters. They collected data day and night, at all depths of the water and in mild to difficult weather conditions.

The demonstration also proved the performance of the MQ-8C Fire Scout. The navy said that the aerial vehicle handled the dual pod system with ease, being the first MCM capacity flown on the MQ-8C, as well as the heaviest payload transported so far. Fire Scout has successfully operated in restricted and unrestricted airspace alongside other aircraft platforms.

The SMAMD system, developed by BAE Systems under a Future Naval Capability (FNC) program sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), is a set of aerial optical sensors that, in a single passage, detects and locates mines and obstacles on land and at sea. With a low rate of false alarms, SMAMD provides real-time detection sent via data link, allowing fighters to respond much faster to threats than current MCM technologies allow, as post-mission analysis is required.

This effort, led by the ONR, included the support of several Navy and industry organizations, including the MQ-8 Fire Scout program office, the Program Executive Office Unmanned and Small Combatants (PEO USC), Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Aircraft Prototype Systems Division (APSD), Webster Outlying Field (WOLF),

Aerospace Careers Forecast

Careers in aviation are red hot.

As you’ll read elsewhere in this special issue, aviation careers are hotter than ever, and that doesn’t just mean pilot jobs. The entire industry will need people to keep it running, from mechanics to gate agents to marketing professionals to, well, you name it. With aerospace giant Boeing, the largest airplane maker in the world, predicting the need for around two million new pilots and technicians in the next 20 years, you know the need is real.

So here’s a look at aviation jobs and how they’re looking in 2019.

Subscribe today to Plane & Pilot magazine for industry news, reviews and much more delivered straight to you!

Air Transport Pilot

Traditionally, the airlines have been seen as the ideal career route for pilots, with the ultimate goal being captain at a major air carrier. With the need for pilots at historic highs, the average median wage for airline pilots and flight engineers has risen to an all time high of $130,059. The Bureau of Labor statistics estimates that a 3 percent annual growth rate, but hiring trends tell a different story. It’s not unusual for a well qualified pilot to interview and be hired on the same day, and there are signing bonuses and training stipends being offered these days by some airlines, something that doesn’t happen in a tepid market. Even overseas carriers are hiring, and the pay is even better in many cases than it is in the United States. Chinese airlines continue to seek experienced pilots and are offering, in some cases, a starting salary of $200,000 or more per year.

Until recently, the route to the airlines generally started with a commercial rating and as little as 200 hours flying time as a first officer (copilot) at a regional airline. Years ago, in response to a crash, Congress directed the FAA to require pilots to have more time before they took the yoke. Today almost all airline pilots must have these three things:

An Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate, which is basically a more rigorous form of the commercial license.

A special rating (called a “type rating”) for the airplane they’re flying; for instance, an Airbus A320.

1,500 hours of total experience as a pilot. This number can be substantially lower for pilots graduating from certain programs.

There are exceptions for pilots with military experience or those who’ve graduated from a college or university. More than 1,000 hours of airline flying are required before a co-pilot can move to the left seat to be captain.

The airline pilot job can be tough—pilots have to bid against each other for what routes and schedules they want, with those who have the most seniority getting first pick. Pilots often spend nights in hotel rooms. When airlines downsize, low-seniority pilots are the first laid off, and in lean times may spend many days “on reserve” waiting for a call to report for work. However, layoffs are not currently a problem. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Commercial Pilot

A slightly less-lucrative job—but often with better working conditions—can be found in specialized airline flying, flying charter flights, piloting corporate planes and flying helicopters, too. Even though that ATP certificate might not be technically required for most of these jobs, it’s often desirable. That said, again, it’s a job seeker’s market, so many of the old qualification requirements have been relaxed. For commercial-type flying, you make a little less on average—but still better than $85,000 a year--according to the BLS—and there’s robust growth in commercial flying, as these operators battle with airlines for pilots to fly their planes. Furthermore, many people prefer the lifestyle advantages that these jobs have over airliner flying.

Unmanned Aerial Systems

Interested in flying drones? You’re not alone. Luckily, there are pilot jobs available in unmanned aerial systems (UAS), as it’s technically called—along with jobs for sensor operators, planners and maintainers. In the past, most of those jobs were military or in various federal agencies. That has been changing as the FAA tests unmanned systems in the U.S. national airspace and regulations continue to evolve. Experts in the field expect that every flying job that’s “boring, dangerous or dirty” will eventually move to remotely piloted vehicles, including fire-fighting, pipeline patrol and agricultural spraying. A recently published FAA forecast predicts that there will be 420,000 unmanned vehicles operating in the U.S. airspace by 2021, making the 42,000 predicted just last year a wild underestimation.

UAS are a big part of aviation’s future. Currently, unmanned pilot qualifications include an FAA commercial pilot license, preferably multi-engine (though single-engine may be enough, depending on the vehicle), with several hundred hours’ experience. A four-year degree and ATP and Flight Instructor Certifications are a definite plus, and for the jobs available now, U.S. citizenship is required. Salaries start at around $45,000 and reach higher than $110,000 with experience. Most experts we’ve spoken with are enthusiastic about opportunities in this field—Professor Ray Bedard of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University said: “The technology is moving faster than the regulatory environment. This is the future of aviation!”

And how many jobs will there be for drone pilots? According to the FAA’s most recent forecast, within the next four years there will more than 300,000 commercial UAS pilots. That’s growth we last saw in aviation, well, never.

Aerospace Manufacturing & Maintenance

“Aerospace” is the term for all forms of aviation, including space travel, and it’s a huge industry. And with lots of high-tech hardware and software, it has to be taken care of by somebody. Aerospace manufacturing and maintenance workers create and maintain the hardware that other aerospace professionals work with. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 145,000 people are employed as mechanics, service technicians and avionics specialists at aerospace manufacturers, airlines and other operators, repair stations and Fixed Base Operators (FBOs). These jobs pay by the hour and often involve shift work, with the average wage of around $61,000 per year. Again, the job market is hot, which means wages are going up.

According to the BLS, getting hired usually requires a semester or more of community college or other specialized training. Employment opportunities continue to pick up in this field as mechanics retire and new aircraft are introduced into service. One especially promising field is in installing and servicing aircraft electronics, with a couple of big fleet-wide mandates for new electronics driving a lot of the demand for training techs.

There are substantial downsides to working as an aircraft mechanic or technician. These jobs can be short term, they can be physically demanding, and they put great responsibility in the hands of the certificated mechanic to get things right.

Air Traffic Controllers

Air traffic management is a field projected to evolve as the FAA rolls out its Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Today, air traffic controllers are responsible for keeping airplanes separated when flying under instrument flight rules, but according to Embry-Riddle professor (and former FAA air traffic controller and supervisor) Gregory “Sid” McGuirk, that’s going to change: “The FAA is looking toward the day when air traffic is collaboratively managed rather than controlled—students graduating now will eventually work more as monitors than controllers.” Still, McGuirk agreed that this field remains among the most challenging of all aerospace careers: “When things go south, you need the adrenalin rush so as not to lose control!”

It’s also a field with a lot of opportunity—the FAA plans to hire more than 1,000 controllers per year for the foreseeable future, mainly replacing controllers who have reached the mandatory retirement age of 56. The job involves shift work, usually adding up to a 40-hour week, though overtime may be required. According to the BLS, 90 percent of today’s controllers make between $66,390 and $172,680 per year. Today air traffic controllers make an average of nearly $120,000 a year.

Airline Dispatchers

Airline dispatchers share responsibility with the captain for the safety of U.S. scheduled airline flights and are involved in many aspects of flight planning and operation. They’re required to pass an examination comparable in most respects to that required for the ATP certificate, and hours for dispatchers are limited by federal regulations. According to Airline Dispatchers Federation Executive Vice President John Schwoyer, employment in the field is “stable and a sought-after position within and outside the airlines,” estimated at approximately 5,000 licensed dispatchers in the U.S. Starting salaries vary from around $35,000 to better than $40,000 for new hires at regional airlines, with all but the top salaries maxing out even at major airlines topping out at just under $100,000.

HARTING MICA Network: Successful Implementation Of Industry 4.0 Applications Through Partnerships

HARTING Technology Group has been working with system integrators and IT specialists within the MICA network user organization since 2016 to enable customers to achieve data-efficient device efficiency improvements.

Hong Kong, December 09, 2018 /PressReleasePing/ - HARTING Technology Group has been working with system integrators and IT specialists within the MICA network user organization since 2016 to enable customers to achieve data-efficient device efficiency improvements. The network presented the machine data collection and ERP application solutions based on the MICA® edge computing system at this year's HARTING booth at Hannover Messe (Hall 11 / Booth C15). The “last mile” represented by access to process data from the shop floor is often the biggest obstacle to the Industry 4.0 concept. Network partners can contribute their respective solution expertise through collaborative projects.

Assystem uses demonstration devices to demonstrate how data science and machine learning can be used to identify new connections and optimize operational processes, thereby reducing production costs. The machines communicate with each other to access internal and external data. In the process, Assystem was able to demonstrate its extensive experience in OPC / UA and M2M communications. The Assystem solution is a flexible system that operates independently of the manufacturer's automation technology and can be adapted to existing equipment.

Machine data for transparent value creation chains

SDI Innovation introduces the new Bluebox.SDI software tool for monitoring and visualizing and visualizing the actual and target conditions of production equipment such as CNC machining tools, injection moulding machines, and production lines. The tool comes with pre-set applications such as TPM, OEE calculations and trend analysis. When installed on MICA®, Bluebox.SDI can be quickly and easily deployed to production systems in a decentred mode. The control panel with display, input and selection options also makes this solution ideal for mounting on a mounting board.

SIEVERS GROUP also demonstrated HANNOVER MESSE, an Internet of Things solution developed with HARTING. Users can use it to correlate machine data with other information throughout the production process. MICA® collects operational data from various machines and equipment. SIEVERS GROUP integrates it with ERP and business intelligence applications.

Process digital and analogue sensor data in real time

HARTING collaborated with the German Institute of Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) to demonstrate how machine data can be accurately recorded using the MICA®-based PROFINET sniffer. Any automated industrial system using SPS and the Industrial Ethernet standard PROFINET can be used for passive "sniffing". Existing processes are completely undisturbed. By "sniffing" communication with MICA®, all exchanged data (such as sensor and actuator values) can be provided to Industrial 4.0 applications through open standards such as MQTT and OPC Ua.

Innovation or Complication: The Emerging Regulatory Landscape for Drone Use in 2018

The use of drones recreationally and commercially continues to grow exponentially in Canada. While the commercial use of drones has been governed by rules set out in various regulatory exemptions (or by the requirement to obtain a special flight operations certificate (“SFOC”) from Transport Canada), the recreational use of drones that weigh under 35 kg was previously simply subject to guidelines encouraging users to “fly safely”. More recently, the Minister of Transport issued a series of interim orders respecting these aircraft. The current interim order No. 8 regulates all recreational use of drones weighing between 250 g and 35 kg.

UAS Task Force

In 2017, Transport Canada established the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (“UAS”) Task Force, staffed with members with expertise in the areas of flight operations and technical analysis, policy and regulatory planning and stakeholder engagement, engineering and certification standards, and service delivery.

In establishing the UAS Task Force, Transport Canada is recognizing that the increasing use of drones is a departmental priority, as well as one of the top safety risks in aviation. Transport Canada has stated that it aims to provide a regulatory environment for drones that will promote innovation and economic growth and address emerging issues through collaboration with industry stakeholders.

Proposed Regulations

The UAS Task Force has assisted with the creation of the Proposed Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) which would apply to all drones, commercial and recreational, weighing between 250 g and 25 kg being operated within visual line of sight (“VLOS”).

The Proposed Regulations divide drones into three operating categories, with more lenient or stringent regulatory requirements depending on weight and area of operation. The Proposed Regulations also introduce new definitions: a “very small unmanned aircraft” has a maximum take-off weight of more than 250 g but not more than 1 kg while a “small unmanned aircraft” has a maximum take-off weight of more than 1 kg but not more than 25 kg. The Proposed Regulations stipulate different compliance requirements if a small UAS is being used for “limited operations”, in rural areas and away from populations, or if used for “complex operations”, near built up areas, airports or aerodromes, or people.

Common to all three operating categories is the need for operator training and the requirement that the drone operator carry liability insurance of at least $100,000.

Operations that involve drones weighing more than 25 kg, operated beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS”), or used to transport payloads will require an SFOC.

Transport Canada intends for the new Regulations to come into effect sometime in 2018.

What’s Next?

Through a series of consultation sessions conducted across Canada in 2017, the UAS Task Force identified a number of stakeholder concerns and recommendations regarding the Proposed Regulations. With respect to commercial use, the UAS Task Force heard concerns that commercial drone users need a predictable regulatory framework, and that the ongoing requirement for SFOCs results in administrative burden and hinders commercial use in many sectors. For recreational users, the UAS Task Force recognized concerns that the prohibitive cost of compliance could have a negative effect on owners and operators, and that implementation of complex rules for use might result in reduced compliance.

The UAS Task Force has also launched the UAS Centre for Expertise in Dorval, Quebec. The stated goals of the Centre of Expertise are to:

(a) Streamline and standardize the SFOC process; (b) Provide expert advice to regional inspectors; (c) Monitor SFOC performance; and (d) Engage stakeholders on current issues and safety promotion.

For now, it appears that Transport Canada’s focus is on finalizing regulations with respect to VLOS operations of drones. With respect to BVLOS operations, the UAS Task Force has supported several early pilot projects including short range BVLOS trials by first responders. Transport Canada has also announced its intention in 2018 to select and authorize trials of BVLOS technology with further industry stakeholders. These trials will likely be an early step in a movement towards developing regulations for BVLOS operations, potentially opening the door to a host of new uses and markets for drone operators in Canada.

Time will tell whether the current regulatory strategy of Transport Canada will promote innovative drone use and collaboration between industry stakeholders and government, or only add further administrative burden and create additional challenges for commercial and recreational drone users alike.
