Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is preparing to be fully operational as one of only six federal test sites for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) with another series of test flight missions this week over South Texas ranchland. The video is very informative.
“With each test flight, we are building on our own research data that can lead to conclusions on the best ways to safely integrate UAS into our national airspace,” said Dr. David Bridges, Director of UAS Program.

For many people, LiDAR is still strongly associated with autonomous vehicles: cars scanning roads, detecting pedestrians, cyclists, lane boundaries, and obstacles. This association makes sense because autonomous driving has been one of the most visible areas for LiDAR development. However, the future of LiDAR is not limited to vehicles. A more interesting question is what…
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi is using drones, GIS, and digital twin technology to identify unassessed properties while creating a comprehensive digital inventory of city assets. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has launched a pilot initiative that uses drones, GIS, and digital twin technology to identify unassessed and under-assessed properties across India’s capital city.…
Autonomous navigation has been built largely on optical sensing. Cameras, lidar, and sensor fusion systems reconstruct the world through reflected light, translating physical environments into spatial models that machines can interpret and act on. In most conditions, this approach works remarkably well. But it is fundamentally tied to visibility. Smoke, heavy snow, dust, fog, and…
