The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded Black Swift Technologies LLC a $395,601 project grant under the NOAA Small Business Innovation Research Program to enable beyond line-of-sight unmanned aircraft system operations through a diverse-source global positioning system. The two-year project beginning February 2021 will develop technology to supplement GPS signals and allow unmanned aircraft to operate safely outside of a pilot's visual line of sight. The NOAA SBIR program seeks to stimulate technological innovation in support of the agency's mission through competitive awards to small businesses, as this project aims to do by advancing unmanned aircraft capabilities through improved positioning technology.
