The Latest Updates, Perspectives and Stories From MatrixSpace
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.
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.
In the past twenty years, we’ve seen amazing advances in sensors of many varieties.
There’s a common misconception in the UAS industry when talking about surveillance and operational volumes for UAS operations.
A limitation in UAS operations for DFRs (Drone as First Responder) programs is the requirement for visual line-of-sight (VLOS) of the Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC).

The future of DFR seeks to eliminate the need for rooftop personnel, or VOs, entirely, simplifying the process into a single-person teleoperation and enabling true BVLOS operations.
We created a mascot based on a MatrixSpacer’s beloved family dog – who loves to be part of everything we do and talk about around the MatrixSpace office.
Classifying MatrixSpace Radar system as solely part of the IoT would be a limiting perspective.
Over a year since Russia invaded Ukraine, one thing is clear: commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) drones have changed the face of warfare.
Intel Capital’s view is that the next step-function in AI sensing will be driven by diverse multi-sensor approaches combined with AI insights, edge processing and high-speed connectivity.
MatrixSpace CEO Greg Waters gave a speech to the Class of 2023 graduates of the College of Engineering at Northeastern University.
Latest News
The US Department of Homeland Security has adopted a new compact radar system to improve drone-based surveillance operations, particularly in remote border regions. The technology, developed by Massachusetts-based MatrixSpace, will help uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) detect and avoid obstacles when flying beyond the pilot’s direct line of sight, a key requirement for safe drone operations. The project is led by the Department for Homeland Security’s Innovation Hub, HSWERX, which aims to support agencies like Customs and Border Protection in monitoring large, often isolated areas where traditional surveillance methods are impractical.
Lori DeMatteis is Chief Revenue Officer of MatrixSpace. MatrixSpace is a leading technology company specializing in advanced radar systems that deliver real-time situational awareness for uncrewed and autonomous systems. Their compact, lightweight radars offer precise detection and tracking, making them ideal for drones, advanced air mobility (AAM), public safety, and critical infrastructure. By integrating cutting-edge radar with AI, MatrixSpace enables safe, efficient operations in complex and dynamic airspace.
Flying Lion, Inc., a leading drone service provider, has launched FLI Town, the nation’s first dedicated Drone as First Responder (DFR) training center. This facility offers a secure, vendor-agnostic environment designed to support public safety agencies in training, testing, and collaboration on drone operations. Located in a remote area with minimal crewed aircraft interference, FLI Town provides a realistic setting for agencies to refine their DFR tactics.
Global Airspace Radar recently had the opportunity to speak with Lori DeMatteis, Chief Revenue Officer, MatrixSpace to learn more about the role of radar in keeping track of drone movements overhead.
Skyway and MatrixSpace have recently announced a joint venture 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.
