EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- An unmanned aerial system software company and AFWERX awardee, Sky Pad, provided a demonstration to Eglin military and civilians May 1 near Fort Walton Beach.
The UAS software aims to provide users with a standardized heads-up-display for multiple styles of UAS, all using simple off-the-shelf equipment and training. This display can also be shared via the internet, allowing multiple users to see what the same UAS is doing.
Sky Pad currently tours their system highlighting the usefulness of it for security forces with gate overwatch, search and rescue and emergency response.
The demonstration was part of the Air Force Chief Data and AI office’s Autonomy Data and AI Experimentation proving ground effort, which aims to accelerate development and experimentation in programs like the Sky Pad.
The 96th Test Wing hosts the ADAX program at Eglin.
