Meanwhile, Toshiba specializes in providing C-UAS solutions that integrate various sensors and response measures to detect and respond to suspicious drone activities.
Terra Drone will foster technical collaboration between its Terra UTM and Toshiba’s C-UAS solutions . As the social integration of drones, for example in urban logistics, continues to accelerate, the development of sophisticated systems to prevent incidents and accidents arising from collision risks and unauthorized drone incursions becomes crucial. Both companies are committed to contributing to the establishment of a society where drones can be operated safely and securely.
