  • Interaerial Solutions returns to Intergeo as independent UAS event

    LogoIntergeo 2014 in Berlin hosted a flight zone event for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) business applications, which led to the 2015 debut in Stuttgart, Germany, of Interaerial Solutions as an integrated topic platform. For the first time, Interaerial Solutions will run as a free-standing UAS platform Oct. 11–13 during Intergeo 2016 in Hamburg.

    “Interaerial Solutions Expo. Forum. Flight Zone for UAS.” hosted by Hinte GmbH, now has a dedicated website, www.interaerial-solutions.com, and will serve as a showcase for manufacturers, UAS users and operators, accessories, software and end-to-end solutions.

    The repositioning of Interaerial Solutions is the result of its organizers recognizing the rapid development of the UAS market and the high rate of innovation in this new technology. UAS manufacturing and the development of related solutions currently form the most dynamic growth generator in geo-based data capture, processing and the development of applications, Intergeo said in a news release.

    “A new chapter in aviation history is unfolding, as UAS takes over the civilian market and unlocks huge potential for developing innovative applications in countless directions,” Christoph Hinte, CEO of Hinte, said in the news release. “We will be scripting the storyline at Interaerial Solutions. We are already the biggest platform in this field in the German-speaking world.”

    Uwe Nortmann, managing director of UAV Dach e.V., Interaerial Solutions’ partner organization, already considers the Interaerial Solutions marketplace to be the leading trade fair for unmanned aircraft systems. “For me, the event’s main appeal lies in the way it reveals how a range of sectors can benefit from the fledgling technological developments surrounding UAS,” he said. “By replacing manned flights, UAS heralds vast potential savings in costs. The future lies in unmanned aircraft systems, and Interaerial Solutions is the platform to show this.”

    About 80 exhibitors and approximately 3,200 visitors attended the event as part of Intergeo 2015. A third of those visitors placed an order at the trade fair or immediately afterwards, Intergeo said, and two-thirds of visitors at Interaerial Solutions rated Intergeo 2015 as either “important” or “very important” for investment decisions.

    The event will maintain the same format this year as last year with an exhibition area, expert forum and outdoor flight zone. Exhibitors of the 2016 event include:

    • Suppliers of hardware for UAS.
    • UAS manufacturers.
    • Hardware manufacturers for remote sensing.
    • Manufacturers of UAS accessories.
    • Suppliers of evaluation software/photogrammetry.
    • Suppliers of UAS services.

  • First Day at INTERGEO: UAVs and RTK GNSS Receivers

    Every fall thousands of geospatial professionals are drawn to Germany, like bees are to honey, for the largest geospatial exhibition on Earth. This year in Stuttgart, more than 17,000 attendees from 92 countries are flooding the halls of the Stuttgart Exhibition grounds located adjacent to the Stuttgart International Airport. Attendees are being treated to a vast array of geospatial technology treats from 500+ exhibitors representing 30 countries.

    Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

    I recall a few short years ago, there were only a handful of UAV vendors at the entire exhibition. Now, there is hardly an aisle that does not contain a quad-copter, fixed-wing aircraft or a UAV-related accessory. The growth of UAVs into the geospatial market growth has been the most explosive geospatial technology introduced in the past 25 years, the span of time that I’ve been involved in the geospatial industry. It’s over the top — there is so much hype surrounding UAV technology that there might be more sellers than buyers. It’s become so crazy that there are vendors presenting UAVs that haven’t even been built yet! It reminds me of the days that Atari would announce a new game system nine months before it was ready to ship.

    In the UAV space, I wonder which companies are actually making money. My guess is very few. A few of the big players like DJI, Parrot (owns senseFly) and 3D Robotics are doing well, plus a few others. But it’s an unhealthy buyer/seller ratio. Something’s going to give.

    The sensefly eXom UAV in flight.
    The sensefly eXom UAV in flight.

    Today’s winners in the UAV market are companies like Pix4D, Agisoft and others who make mission planning and image-processing software for UAV-collected data. They are smart in that they aren’t competing against the hundreds of other UAV airframes on the market; they work with data from most of them. Following is a 3D example of what the Agisoft software can create given a bunch of images shot with a $1,500 DJI Phantom at 200-foot elevation.

    3DModel-W

    The resolution is very good, and you’re able compute material volume such as the piles of aggregate on the west side of the river.

    Inexpensive RTK

    NVM_L1RTK-WIn the past, I’ve written a lot about inexpensive RTK GNSS receivers. At the InfoAg Conference a couple of months ago, Swift Navigation announced it is testing its $500 RTK receivers. At INTERGEO, CHCNav introduced L1 RTK GNSS in a mobile phone (check our website for a video on that). It’s not capable of centimeter accuracy yet, but quickly heading in that direction. NVS Tech is also pushing sub-$500 L1 RTK GNSS modules.

    It’s interesting because L1 RTK is nothing new. That technology was first introduced almost 10 years ago, and wasn’t accepted very well. Now, the UAV phenomena is breathing new life into L1 RTK receiver technology because it’s driving the requirement for low-cost, high-precision GNSS receivers. L1 RTK GNSS are finally getting the love they were looking for nearly 10 years ago.

    In case you weren’t able to make it to INTERGEO this year, Joelle, Michelle and I are shooting a bunch of short (~2-minute) videos at various exhibition booths while we are here. We hope to give you a flavor of the geospatial technology being offered this year in Stuttgart.

    See you next time.

  • Septentrio Launches AsteRx-U and AsteRx-U Marine

    AsteRxU_left_orientation-W

    Septentrio this week is launching two successors to its APS-U: The AsteRx-U and the AsteRx-U Marine multi-constellation dual-antenna receivers. The AsteRx-U will be presented to the public for the first time at two trade shows this week. ION GNSS+ takes place Sept.14-18 in Tampa, Fla., and INTERGEO 2015 will be held in Stuttgart, Germany, Sept. 14-18.

    The AsteRx-U and the AsteRx-U Marine incorporate the latest GNSS tracking and positioning algorithms and interference mitigation. Machine-control users in the agricultural and construction industries, as well as users in marine and mining industries, benefit from a complete system with integrated UHF radio, Wi-Fi, USB, Bluetooth and cellular connectivity and a spectrum analyzer, Septentrio said. All configurations can be done via the on-board web interface.

    The AsteRx-U and AsteRx-U Marine feature a full range of positioning techniques and algorithms to ensure that users have the highest accuracy and reliability. The spectrum analyzer enables users to visualize the RF spectrum. Based on its extensive experience with real-life interference sources and their mitigation, Septentrio has developed interference mitigation technology that automatically counteracts various kinds of ambient intentional and unintentional RF interference.

    The AsteRx-U family of receivers is built around Septentrio’s latest ASIC, GReCo4, which was introduced in 2014. It incorporates built-in jamming detection and countermeasures, multi-path rejection, fast acquisition and other advanced features. Both receivers have more than 500 hardware channels to track all available constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, IRNSS and QZSS) and feature many algorithms: LOCK+ technology to maintain tracking during heavy vibration machine use and IONO+ technology to assure the accuracy of the position even in regions of elevated ionospheric activity.

    The AsteRx-U has decimeter- and centimeter-level RTK positioning including TerraStar. The AsteRx-U Marine also supports Veripos PPP augmentation services. It includes extra anti-jamming technology to counter Iridium and INMARSAT-uplink interference, as well as an extra antenna connector for a dedicated L-band antenna to optimize L-band reception at high latitudes.

    Straightforward to set up and integrate with existing systems, the AsteRx-U and AsteRx-U Marine use any device with a web browser to facilitate usability and configuration for the user.
