A new collaboration between a consortium of major UAS companies – Speedbird Aero, UAS manufacturer and delivery services provider in Brazil and worldwide; High Lander Aviation, a global provider of UAS fleet management and uncrewed traffic management software solutions; and Cando Drones, a UAS operations provider – has began operations in São Paulo.
The BIRDS consortium will provide an array of security services to clients, at any scale and in one package.
Léo Szterenzys, CEO of BIRDS, said: “BIRDS is a new concept in aerial security – we will build security systems from the ground up, tailored to our clients’ needs, using the very best hardware and autonomous software to provide 24/7 coverage to facilities of all sizes. Drawing upon the expertise of three of the world’s leading UAS companies, we are able to offer a package that is truly unprecedented.”
BIRDS’ technology package is centered around integrated command centres powered by High Lander’s Orion DFM drone fleet management software solution, says the new company. From these command centres, companies can manage teams of UAS pilots while monitoring telemetry and the surrounding airspace on a real-time map. The system also enables direct operation of UAS fleets of any size from the dashboard, as well as autonomous patrols and sensor-triggered dispatch. Features provided by the platform include live feed sharing, AI-powered object detection and tracking, precision landing, payload control, collision avoidance mechanisms and more.
BIRDS can also supply integrated counter-drone systems which track and identify suspicious UAS and safely take control and land them from up to three kilometers away.
Alon Abelson, CEO and co-founder of High Lander, said: “We’re proud to supply our solutions to the Brazilian security market. This is one of the world’s most dynamic arenas – there is large and growing number of major companies, in a wide range of industries, each with unique security requirements for their installations. Orion DFM is a platform that’s powerful and flexible enough to provide these services, and we’re thrilled to join our trusted partners in supplying security packages across Brazil.”
BIRDS has developed an implementation package that enables even the largest organizations to implement UAS security technology with no interruption to their day-to-day operations. The process begins with consultation and in-depth analysis of an organization’s needs and available resources. BIRDS will then supply the decided-upon hardware, or work with the hardware already in the organization’s stock. Finally, BIRDS will supply UAS pilots and command centre operatives to run the security system on behalf of the organization – or if the organization prefers to operate the system in-house, full training courses for the clients’ employees.
Manoel R. Coelho, CEO and co-founder of Speedbird Aero, said: “As the first UAS delivery company in Latin America and foremost UAS manufacturer in Brazil, Speedbird Aero brings unique expertise to this project. We have years of experience operating in the Brazilian airspace and in-depth knowledge of the Brazilian market. As such, we can say for sure that BIRDS is more than an exciting new project – it’s the beginning of a new era in security services in Brazil, and the wider LATAM region in the very near future.”
Says the company:
“The BIRDS security package includes regulatory support. Navigating the highly-developed airspace regulations of Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) and Department of Airspace Control (DECEA) has always been one of the key challenges for UAS operations companies in Brazil, but for clients of BIRDS this will not be a worry – its security systems will remain coordinated with aviation regulations the law thanks to the local knowledge and connections of Speedbird Aero. Furthermore, all operations executed with BIRDS will occur under the oversight of Vega UTM, an autonomous uncrewed traffic management solution that provides a suite of services enabling the management of remotely piloted aircraft at all scales and in the most complex of airspace. Extensively field-tested and compliant with all leading international standards – and with proven experience of emergency management of UAS nationwide – Vega connects between operators and authorities to ensure safety and full regulatory compliance.
Yoely Or, CEO and co-founder of Cando Drones, said: “Cando Drones has almost a decade of experience in building and operating UAS systems for clients of all sizes in a wide range of fields, from deliveries to municipal management to public safety. We’re proud to provide our operational expertise to clients in the Brazilian market and beyond.”
