British air traffic technology company uses Hedera Hashgraph to track drones

Hedera’s public ledger consensus service was recently used to “collect, store and order” millions of data points in a drone data trial sponsored by the British government.

according to announcement, Hedera collaborated with London-based aerospace technology company Neuron Innovations to test commercial, military and government drones to safely share long-range airspace.

Neuron has implemented an “Aviation Surveillance as a Service” system that allows drones to seamlessly join existing air traffic. The aerospace technology company then used Hedera Network’s Hedera Consensus Service to “collect, store and order” drone data. Neuron CEO Niall Greenwood said:

“We use aviation infrastructure that is critical to safety to make unmanned long-distance drone travel possible. Every flight creates millions of data points, and no other public ledger can record and Sorted correctly.”

Multi-drone trials will be held at Montrose Port in Scotland and Cranfield University in Bedfordshire in April and October 2021. The Neuron sensor records data points about the drone’s position and orientation, while the Hedera Consensus Service records and timestamps the collected data. Each drone is on its decentralized public ledger.

The experiment is supported by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the United Kingdom and is one of many drone-related tests. The main finding of the study is that the drone can be tracked after it leaves the field of view.

Hedera Hashgraph is a kind of high security and publicity Distributed Ledger Technology A network based on the proof-of-stake consensus algorithm. The proof of concept uses the Hedera consensus service and the Hedera token service to prove that a program or concept is feasible.

Ivy Hashgraph has Established a number of cooperation Apply blockchain technology to practical applications in multiple fields. In November 2021, Cointelegraph reported that Hedera Council collaborates with ServiceNow, A cloud-based digital workflow platform that integrates the Now platform to create a new level of trust and responsibility in digital transactions.
