This partnership represents a significant milestone for both companies, enhancing their product and service offerings and advancing safe and autonomous uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations across defense, government, and commercial sectors.
The collaboration between American Robotics and Senhive enables integrated autonomous drone operations, incorporating cutting-edge Detect and Avoid (DAA), airspace safety and surveillance, and Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) solutions. Senhive products are trusted and used throughout the world and have been selected to provide airspace security and safety in Europe's biggest harbors like the Port of Antwerp, as well as in locations spanning from Antarctica to significant global events hosting millions of people.
Notably, this partnership was front-and-center this past week, where American Robotics conducted a demonstration in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Aeronautics (MassDOT) and hosted by Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA), where the combined team flawlessly operated Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone missions under an FAA-approved waiver, completing challenging and wide-ranging data collection for maritime and infrastructure inspection, perimeter security, emergency management, and more using American Robotics' Optimus sUAS and the Senhive suite of products. This demonstration showcased the effectiveness of both companies' technologies in real-world scenarios, highlighting their commitment to innovation and safety.
Commenting on the partnership, American Robotics CEO, Timothy "T3" Tenne stated, "We are thrilled to engage with Senhive, aligning with our shared vision of advancing autonomous UAS operations. Senhive's expertise in airspace management and safety perfectly complements our commitment to delivering world-class autonomous technologies.
