AAUS - Australian Association for Uncrewed Systems’ Post

RPAS BVLOS Opportunity Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) has released an Expression of Interest (EOI) for organisations to participate in an RPAS BVLOS trial project. FRV has initiated a project to study the possible utilisation of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) in Beyond-Visual-Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) situations, to support the management of fire, rescue and other emergency incidents. The project includes a major, one-off operational trial where it is planned that RPAS will be deployed BVLOS to simulated emergency incidents. It is planned that the outcomes of the operational trial will, ultimately:  guide the development and implementation of practices and procedures to underpin and facilitate safe and effective use of BVLOS RPAS to support the management of actual fire, rescue and emergency events; and  inform future decisions regarding the selection and utilisation of RPAS capabilities to support the management of actual fire, rescue and emergency events in the future. FRV are holding industry briefings this Thursday, September 19 at 1.30pm (AEDT) For more information: https://lnkd.in/gvqbEQBf   Submissions are due on Friday 11 October 2024.

AAUS would like to thank presenters and over 200 delegates of its "Autonomy in the Joint Military Battlespace" conference at #landforces2024 for some informative discussion over the past 2 days. Some takeaways from the conference: - The event was well supported by Defence (Army, Air Force, CASG, ASCA and UA Army Applications Laboratory) and industry. - The Australian uncrewed systems capability is undeniably strong and getting stronger. - Military strategy continues to evolve towards "smart, small and many" use of drones. - Defence and Industry continue to be challenged on appropriate procurement and industry investment strategy. - SME Industry needs to make sure that its uncrewed products are diversified across commercial and defence applications. AAUS would like to thank event sponsors BAE Systems Australia, Textron Systems Australia, Defence SA and DroneSec as well as AMDA Foundation Limited for its continued support. Finally, thank you to Victoria Police for keeping us all safe. See you at Avalon 2025! Keirin Joyce Helen Mammino Ross B.
