We are excited about this partnership with the Air Force, which will allow us to develop a navigation support system for commercial and defense UAS platforms.”— Eric Wagner, VP of Government Programs for UbihereCOLUMBUS, OH, UNITED STATES, December 16, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ubihere, a technology company that develops real-time location systems (RTLS), on December 3 won a $150,000 contract from the US Air Force to develop autonomous navigation for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) vehicles. The drone, using Ubihere’s next-generation positioning system, which works independently of global positioning systems (GPS) to identify the UAS’s location and movement, will have myriad implications for improving security measures for both the military and the civilian public.
The contract came in just ahead of another key success for Ubihere: the company was named by Columbus Business First as one of the top startups in the region as part of the publication’s 2020 class of Columbus Biztech Award winners.
Ubihere has commercialized a real-time adaptive, easily trainable, artificially intelligent video processing technology, based on patents exclusively licensed from The Ohio State University. This patented AI computer vision hardware and software technology was invented and developed by Dr. Alper Yilmaz, who runs a nationally renowned photogrammetry research program at The Ohio State University, and his research team.
