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.

The Palm Springs Police Department (PSPD) has taken a significant step forward in public safety innovation by expanding its Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. This enhancement establishes the largest radar-enabled municipal drone coverage area in the United States, spanning 37 square miles and eliminating the need for human visual observers during operations.

The Department of Homeland Security has selected technology for advanced air detection to support automatic flying vehicles. The DHS innovation hub HSWERX agreed to use MatrixSpace Radar onboard sensors to help identify small uncrewed aircraft systems or drones. The technology is intended to be used for different mission environments, including use by the DHS Customs and Border Protection Agency.

HSWERX, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) innovation hub, selected MatrixSpace Radar to provide advanced air detection to support uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations. The technology has potential applications across a variety of mission environments, including the DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.

The US Department of Homeland Security’s innovation hub (HSWERX) has selected MatrixSpace Radar to provide advanced air detection in support of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations, the company announced on 25 March 2025. The technology has potential applications across a variety of mission environments, including the DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.
