MatrixSpace and Sagetech Avionics recently partnered to win an HSWERX award from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for their work on advanced air detection supporting uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations. The solution has potential applications across a variety of mission environments, including the DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.
Quote from Rudy Johnson, Director Business Development at Sagetech Avionics
"Our mission is to deliver low-SWaP certified avionics solutions that enable safe, scalable airspace integration. To achieve this requires a sophisticated level of airspace awareness informed by high-performance sensors. MatrixSpace is meeting the challenge, setting new standards in precision detection, making them key to meeting our customers' demanding requirements."
Quote from Lori DeMatteis, Chief Revenue Officer at MatrixSpace
"As autonomous aviation becomes ubiquitous, the need to integrate it safely into the National Airspace is key. Working with Sagetech Avionics has demonstrated their commitment not only to high customer standards but also reaching for the most advanced, innovative solutions possible to achieve this."
The DHS project sought to identify small UAS (sUAS) with onboard sensors that meet Federal Aviation Administration guidelines for safe Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. Enabling smaller UAS (Group III and below) to operate safely in the NAS with BVLOS capabilities significantly enhances their ability to conduct comprehensive monitoring of secure, often large and remote locations such as borders, border crossings and other points of entry. Due to their compact size and advanced capabilities, MatrixSpace Radar and Sagetech's detect and avoid (DAA) onboard ACAS DAA computer were selected to support safe BVLOS operations.
MatrixSpace provides affordable, AI-enhanced sensor solutions for situational awareness, unlocking advanced, large-scale drone operations, and protecting infrastructure and public gatherings from security threats. Its solutions detect objects immediately with high degrees of accuracy, allowing for rapid response and countermeasures. Its products combine cutting-edge radar sensors with additional technologies and AI-edge processing to sense, detect, and classify objects in any outdoor situation while enabling comprehensive compliance reporting.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
