During Xponential 2017, San Luis Obispo, CA-based WhiteFox Defense Technologies, Inc. demonstrated its flagship technology, the DroneFox, which is built to respond to dangerous small UAS.
Designed to detect, identify, and mitigate UAS with a multi-mile range, the DroneFox is a SWaP-C optimized, portable technology, which uses a “master signal” to track and temporarily take control of UAS.
Using the “master signal,” the operator of the DroneFox can choose a course of action from a variety of responses, including land, return to launch, confiscate, and reroute.
The DroneFox is different from jammers and other non-kinetic products because it can select the exact signal it wants to manipulate without interfering with any others signals, even other UAS.

IFM creating uas for warehouse inventory upkeep
Intelligent Flying Machines has developed a UASthat warehouses can use for inventory upkeep and management. The UAS are currently in their testing phase, with plans to go commercial next year.
The plan of IFM is for companies to deploy several of their UASinside of a warehouse, and those UASwould be tasked with scanning isles and collecting various pieces of information. The UASare designed to operate autonomously, and once they complete their missions, they can land without any human supervision or oversight to recharge. The information that the UAScollect will be sent to a cornpany's inventory software and cross-referenced with company data, and errors and alerts will be sent to tablets for workers to check at the beginning of their shifts.
