The Latest Updates, Perspectives and Stories From MatrixSpace

MatrixSpace was selected as one of 10 finalists for the DIU's Low-Cost Sensing challenge for counter drone detection, addressing the lack of affordable scalability in traditional defense sensor systems.

DroneSense customers can now seamlessly conduct remote operations with comprehensive airspace awareness in a common operating picture with the inclusion of MatrixSpace radar detection intelligence.

The usage of radar for guiding vehicles and protecting people/places is strictly regulated for safety and to ensure reliability across radio spectrums. Your use case dictates how to comply with rules for radionavigation and radiolocation.

Railyards and rail lines face significant challenges daily—from theft, vandalism, and costly derailments. Technology enables securing their perimeters more effectively while also improve asset inspection practices.

We recently announced a joint venture with Skyway to advance the integration of intelligent air traffic management and uncrewed aircraft detection systems. Skyway develops vertiports and provides advanced solutions for vertiport traffic management and unmanned airspace planning. MatrixSpace provides outdoor sensor solutions leveraging radar technology for use in defense and commercial applications, which addresses this need. The companies’ partnership is intended to support several aspects of enabling practical advanced air mobility (AAM) initiatives in the United States.

The recent New Jersey drone panic has made it clear: people want to know what’s flying in low altitude airspace. Why can’t we provide the level of clarity demanded? What’s needed to make it happen?

While some industry influencers argue DFR operations are best run up to 200 feet above ground under shielded conditions (only), we explore the risks of this practice as well as the benefits of extending operational altitude with airspace sensors.

L3Harris recently collaborated with MatrixSpace to demonstrate how the companies’ novel technologies can be combined to provide a ground-breaking, low-cost solution to detecting, identifying, and tracking drones.

Nestled in a valley in the desert, where high winds, an in-town airport and a consistent influx of travelers make policing a challenge, the City of Palm Springs, California, is taking advantage of new drone technology to protect residents and visitors. The Palm Springs Police Department's implementation of drones as first responder technology builds on the lessons learned from the City of Chula Vista, California's Police Department's Drone Program, which started using Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), also known as drones, to respond to calls for service in 2018.

"They've talked about technology is there, but where is that funding?" AUSTIN (KXAN) — As Texas lawmakers begin talks on possible changes to the flood warning system, KXAN’s Sally Hernandez spoke with MatrixSpace’s Lori DeMatteis about the critical role drones played in Kerrville and the need to fund cities with the technology. DeMatteis specializes in the technology that has been a game-changer for first responders. The interview below has been edited for clarity.

DroneSense will integrate MatrixSpace’s object detection and airspace awareness solution into its software platform. Uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) management platform developer DroneSense has partnered with MatrixSpace to improve support for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations. The partnership will see the integration of MatrixSpace Radar – an artificial intelligence (AI) powered real-time object detection and airspace awareness solution – into DroneSense Remote (DSR), the company’s operational software platform.

10 companies advance scalable, cost-effective solutions to bolster U.S. counter-sUAS capabilities and meet evolving DOD strategic priorities. Washington, D.C., July 21, 2025 — The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), in close collaboration with U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command representatives, today announced the selection of ten finalists to advance in the Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft System (C-sUAS) Low-Cost Sensing (LCS) challenge. These selected companies, chosen against a rigorous set of criteria from 118 outstanding submissions, will move forward to demonstrate their sensor technologies during USNORTHCOM’s Falcon Peak exercise in September.

DroneSense and MatrixSpace have partnered to accelerate the safe expansion of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations for Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. The integration brings MatrixSpace Radar’s real-time object detection and airspace awareness capabilities directly into DroneSense Remote (DSR). This enables radar tracking across urban and rural settings enhancing safety, responsiveness and mission success. MatrixSpace Radar delivers AI-powered situational awareness in all conditions, including low-light and low-visibility environments, with AiEdge software for real-time classification and expandable centralized sensor fusion.
