Innervating Smaller, Smarter, Safer…and Bluer Robots and Drones
ModalAI and Doodle Labs recently announced the compatibility of the Helix Smart Radio and the VOXL 2 autopilot. This means developers can now leverage the Blue UAS Framework-approved combined tech of both companies to fully innervate their drones and robots. The DIU Blue UAS Framework focuses on best in class, secure supply chain, interoperable UAS components, and software. This year, DIU publicly launched the Blue UAS Framework 2.0 effort.

The Blue sUAS Framework: A Conversation with ModalAI

Many assume the Defense Innovation Unit’s (DIU) Blue UAS program focuses solely on ready-to-fly drones. “Blue,” however, consists of several distinct, but related, lines of effort. At its heart, the program exists to spur faster acquisitions of all the cyber-secure pieces and parts that enable uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations for the Department of Defense (DOD) and its federal partners. Autopilot systems rank high among these required UAS critical components. And San Diego, California-based startup ModalAI’s VOXL® family of autopilots has formed the nucleus of the Blue UAS framework, almost since its inception.
