Northrop Grumman nabs $65M for drones for Navy, Australia

Washington (UPI) May 30, 2019

Northrop Grumman has been awarded a $65 million contract for parts for production and delivery of drones for the U.S. Navy and the Australian government.

The deal, announced Wednesday by the Department of Defense, calls for long-lead production components for three Lot 5 MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft. The contract also covers equipment and materials for ground stations for all three drones.

The MQ-4C Triton is designed to provide aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance over ocean and coastal regions.

The unmanned aircraft, under development for the Navy, is based on the company's RQ-4B Global Hawk drone used by the U.S. Air Force.

The Triton is just under 50 feet long and has a 130-foot wingspan, and can remain aloft for more than 24 hours at a time.

Northrop Grumman has been obligated fiscal 2019 Navy aircraft procurement funds, as well as cooperativ..

Canal Fulton police utilize drone for officer safety

Saturday

Jun 1, 2019 at 6:02 AM

Police will use a recently purchased drone during foot pursuits, hostage scenarios and traffic crashes, among other incidents.

CANAL FULTON Officers using flashlights during a search in a wooded area make themselves visible targets for someone hiding in the dark with a gun.
The officers can't see a suspect hiding in thick brush with a weapon, putting them at a disadvantage.
With the use of a drone, the department could have pinpointed the perpetrator's location before entering the woods.
“That's risking your life when we could have put a drone up in the area to search for (someone) that way,” Canal Fulton Police Chief Douglas Swartz said. “There's lots of applications for use.”
The Police Department purchased a DJI Mavic dual drone in April to be used in traffic crashes, foot pursuits, active shooter scenarios, and other investigations. Before the drone can be put into service, Swartz will need to obtain his piloting li..

New rules come into effect for drone users

The federal government's new rules on the use of aerial drones came into force on June 1 and some local drone operators say the fresh regulations will really help their hobby take off.

In January, federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau announced all drone operators in Canada would require an official licence that would clearly state where someone can fly a drone and under what conditions.

It would also make sure that anyone wanting to fly a drone must pass a proper test to ensure they know the rules before they take to the air.

Chris Healy, owner and operator of IN-FLIGHT Data, calls the new rules “a wonderful thing for aviation in Canada.”

“I no longer have to reach out to Transport Canada for specific permission every time I want to go out and fly. As long as I've got my permit and I know the rules, I can go out.”

Healy says the test is also a big part of what drone operators need to know.

“There's a knowledge standard that you must meet and, depending on ..
