Dr. Mark Mims’ remarks at the Counter-UAS Accelerator Working Group highlight why counter-drone protection, robotic evacuation and remote medical support must advance together to protect casualties and the medics coming to help. https://lnkd.in/ges-47B3

Flyability’s new High-Accuracy Mapping feature connects Elios 3 LiDAR point clouds with inspection imagery and measurements in Inspector Online, helping teams turn drone data into decision-ready records for complex, GPS-denied infrastructure. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g3ymZ4KA

Canada’s AI strategy offers new opportunities for robotics through investment and tax incentives, but its broad commitments to trust and oversight leave compliance requirements less defined than in the EU. Learn why the debate intensified after OpenAI banned an account linked to the Tumbler Ridge shooting but did not alert law enforcement. Erika A. Carrasco https://lnkd.in/gqa6kpEX

Discover how Airwise Solutions turns drone data into decisions as co-founder and CTO Josh O'Leary shares a Tulsa Fire story and explores what’s next for BVLOS and UAS traffic management in this feature. https://lnkd.in/gC8MkQvu

Campus Guardian Angel brought hard data and harder truths to Carahsoft's Drones in Public Sector Summit. Founder Justin Marston broke down how his team's less-lethal drone system, built on lessons drawn directly from Uvalde and Parkland, aims to confront a school shooter in 60 seconds or less. The goal: respond in 5 seconds, reach the threat in 15, neutralize it in 60. Timing, Marston said, is everything. https://lnkd.in/g5DKf__m

Sarah Nilsson, JD, PhD, ATP, CFI, FRAeS, our Drone and AAM Regulations Ambassador breaks down how the FAA’s MOSAIC rule is reshaping the path to market for consumer eVTOLs and personal advanced air mobility. https://lnkd.in/gdAnH2gv

At AFA’s Air, Space & Cyber Conference, leaders discussed why counter-UAS defense requires more than technology, including clear rules of engagement, airspace coordination, spectrum management, public trust, and responsible autonomy. Brig Gen USAF Ret. and AG AMB for Defense Houston Cantwell’s run down of how layered systems, directed energy, sensor fusion and “human before the loop” governance are becoming central to defending the homeland. https://lnkd.in/gNKQ8Ngb

Echodyne CEO Eben Frankenberg examines why the FAA’s Section 2209 proposal is only the first step toward protecting critical infrastructure from drones, and why layered detection is needed to secure restricted airspace. https://lnkd.in/gSuae8MR
