The FAA’s NPRM for Remote ID: Part One, the Basics
We’ve got a lot of material to cover on these important rules, so let’s jump right in. Remote identification (RID) is the FAA’s “license plate in the sky” for UAS that, once implemented, will pave the way for a host of advanced unmanned capabilities: beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), operations over people (OOP), night-time...
GNSS: Triple-frequency Constellations
Triple-frequency observations for high-accuracy positioning has been studied for years. It’s proven to greatly improve RTK performance (fix rate, reliability, and precision) in challenging scenarios for dual-frequency RTK, for example with a very a long base line, very active ionospheric motion, and a severe multi-path environment. Triple-frequency observations also help shorten PPP convergency time significantly....

The Reality of Digital Construction
In the last two decades, we have seen technology make its way first into the construction project office through construction management web applications, then into pre-construction through BIM and VDC (virtual design and construction), and finally into the field through mobile applications that are often intended to replace paper plans and specifications. With communications, business...
Remote Sensing with Satellites
The commercial satellite remote-sensing industry has rapidly evolved over the past two decades, from both the technology and market perspectives, so that satellite imagery has become an integral part of many industries. For example, national, high-resolution maps greatly benefit the civil government and mapping portal industry, especially with cities refreshed on an annual or more-frequent...
Digital Twins for Utilities
More and more cities are recognizing the tremendous benefits that a digital twin provides to: its planners, those responsible for operations and maintenance of city infrastructure including utilities, private architects and engineers striving for compliance with city ordinances and by-laws, and the public. Among the elements essential to developing successful digital twins is recognizing that...
