Cheetah Air, A division of Cheetah Software Systems Receives FAA Night Waiver Approval Extending their Capability to a 24/7 Autonomous Drone Delivery Solution!

Cheetah Air Takes Another Step Forward with 24/7 Drone Delivery Solution

While Cheetah Software Systems has constantly pushed the cutting edge of logistic technologies for the past 30 years, they have taken another step further today. Cheetah Air, a division of Cheetah Software Systems, is an advanced, scalable drone delivery solution that is capable of operating multiple aircraft beyond line of sight. Cheetahs software not only plans delivery routes, but also predicts extremely accurate arrival times as it adapts, live and automatically, to changing operational conditions. These changes include air traffic mitigation, weather, customer cancellations, new stop-insertion, and package weight changes. In the past four years, Cheetah Air has enabled this solution to become both consistent and reliable while increasing the capabilities and compatibilities with other aircraft systems.


Recently, Cheetah Air has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to operate at night under Part 107 regulations. This allows Cheetah Air to deliver packages and services 24 hours a day and further increases the capabilities to assist customers.

An example of how this software will be utilized is the delivery of equipment and supplies for the medical field as an autonomous 24/7 solution. This allows medical professionals to get their much-needed supplies faster and at a reduced cost compared to truck deliveries.

One of Cheetahs main goals is to provide deliveries in the shortest time possible to customers for the lowest operating cost. Using drones, this cost reduction is possible due to the minimal operational costs using drones. Drones operate on cheap, clean electricity, lowering environmental pollution and lowering operating costs. Further cost reduction is the result of the drone being fully autonomous, not requiring a driver for deliveries. They also operate at altitudes to which traffic concerns are mitigated. As a result, Cheetah now takes another step toward their goals by delivering an optimized drone solution capable of 24/7 operations.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
