Echodyne Radar Ensures Safety for Northern Plains UTM Pilot Program

Echodyne announced that its EchoGuard radar played a key airspace safety role in the successful completion of the FAA UTM Pilot Program. The radars supported beyond visual line of site operations in the Grand Forks urban area and the rural environment of Thompson for challenging UAS use cases. For several of the scenarios, clearing the airspace of traffic involved both UTM messaging and verification through Echodyne’s ground-based radars.
