Geospatial Technology for Unmanned Systems

Systems for Flight Operations, Airspace Management and Mission Data Analysis

Kongsberg Geospatial has leveraged airspace visualization technology they originally developed for air defense systems to pioneer powerful new solutions for civilian UAS applications. These include IRIS UxS™ - an airspace situational awareness system for BVLOS flight operations, both for individual aircraft and for fleet operations with multiple semi-autonomous aircraft; and IRIS AM™ - a Airspace Management system developed for counter-UAS applications and for monitoring and managing protected airspaces.

Kongsberg Geospatial continues to provide systems and solutions for defense applications. These include MEDUSA™ a multi-domain C2 application developed based on the IRIS UxS architecture to allow operators to manage multiple unmanned systems for multi-domain missions; and MIDAS™ - a near real-time system for processing, exploiting, and disseminating (PED) sensor data for Unmanned Systems.

Our airspace visualization and BVLOS technology has been deployed in ground control stations for UAS worldwide, and is also widely used for counter-UAS and UTM systems.

BVLOS Missions

Kongsberg Geospatial specializes in visualizing airspaces in real-time for BVLOS flight control. Our IRIS UxS™ system provides Beyond Line-of-Sight flight capabilities for applications like pipeline and power line infrastructure inspection.

Fleet Operations

IRIS UxS™ provides a single, comprehensive real-time picture of the terrain, airspace and all aircraft within a theatre of operations, allowing operators to manage and operate multiple aircraft from a single operator station. IRIS provides the airspace picture for fleet operators in applications like drone delivery.

Fleet Operations

IRIS UxS™ has been deployed for multiple applications of fleet operations including drone delivery services, where a single operator is responsible for piloting multiple semi-autonomous drones.

Airspace Control

Kongsberg Geospatial's long history of experience developing software for air defense and Air Traffic Management has allowed us to develop a unique, adaptable system for Airspace Management. IRIS AM™ provides a comprehensive picture of all air traffic including "hostile" drones, for emergency operations and counter-UAS operations.

Airspace Management

IRIS AM™ provides a comprehensive real-time picture of an operational theatre within a range of 3 to 5 miles. This allows operators to integrate UAS with emergency aircraft, and to detect unauthorized drones and protect the operational airspace.

Data Analysis

MIDAS™ provides a near real-time capability for processing, exploiting, and disseminating full-motion video (FMV) and onther sensor data from unmanned systems. MIDAS provides the capability to develop actionable intelligence from sensor data at the tactical edge, where it's most needed.

Near Real-Time PED

MIDAS™ has been deployed for data-intense applications, including search-and-rescue where the capability to provide meaningful analysis of raw sensor data in real time is critical.
