Singapore map tech company, GPS Lands, wants to navigate its way to global success

SINGAPORE: Local map tech provider GPS Lands occupies an office space in a quiet, unassuming industrial nook at Jalan Pemimpin.
Yet its humble home conceals its burgeoning ambitions. It is looking to offer makers of autonomous vehicles high definition maps which are more accurate than those from the industry bigwigs, according to founder Gerry Ong.

“We are also working on maps with centimetre-level accuracy that can refresh at a much shorter interval than any other available sources today, and with the aim of doing so in real time. This will be vital for safety when deploying self-driving cars.”
This level of accuracy is higher than that seen in maps by other map developers like Google and Here Technolo..

Weapon makers declare war on drones

Arms manufacturers are rushing to develop missile systems to take down drones.
(NASA)
Arms makers are targeting the growing menace of drones at airports and on battlefields with a rush to develop new missile systems, radar jammers and laser cannons.
U.S. forces, along with Middle East allies and Russian troops, have been forced to confront hostile drone operations. Commercial flights at some of the world’s busiest hubs—in New York, London and Dubai—have been grounded in recent months amid concerns that nearby drones could endanger airliners.
The rising number of incidents has put the threat in the public eye and propelled interest in anti-drone technology. Defense industry officials say armed forces still account for most spending.

The anti-drone market should exceed $1.2 billion in annual sales next year and top $1.5 billion in 2021, Frost & Sullivan estimated. While that is a fraction of the spending each year on combat aircra..

NOTHING newly-invented in the world of technology is ever missing from the Mobile World Congress, the biggest and most bang-up-to-date trade fair on the planet.

Hosted annually by Barcelona, the 2019 edition of the prestigious MWC ended on Wednesday after welcoming tens of thousands of mostly corporate visitors from every square inch of the globe.

Each year brings a heap of gadgets and concepts designed to make our lives easier and more efficient, to embarrass the living daylights out of those who still use fax machines and tape the music charts on a Sunday, and to show us what the near future of everyday living and working is likely to hold.

Not a single corner of life is missing from the technological revolution: farming, education, healthcare, entertainment, cooking and cleaning, and communication are just a handful of the activities pervaded by digital progre..

How Kalashnikov's suicide drone will change the face of war
RBTH
01 Mar 2019, 18:55 GMT+10

The little terrorist (as its known in Russian) can transform into a swarm of UAVs able to smash through hi-tech (and very costly) enemy air defense systems.
In mid-February, at the IDEX 2019 weapons exhibition, Kalashnikov Concern unveiled its newest development-the KYB suicide drone.
The KYB is a self-exploding drone with 3 kilograms of TNT on board. It is essentially a more technologically advanced version of the homemade “kamikaze drones” used by ISIS militants in Syria and the Middle East against US forces and their allies, as well as Russia.
Kalashnikov's innovation can be used as a loitering munition, which hangs in the air in the combat zone until instructed to strike.
Weapons of the future
“This cheap and simple UAV has a production cost of around $100 and features an on-board bomb. It quietly buzzes in the air and then swoops down, blowing up an enemy tank wo..
