FLIR Systems has acquired the intellectual property (IP) and certain operating assets of Aria Insights, Inc.
Previously known as CyPhy Works, Inc., Aria pioneered the development of tethered sUAS. Founded in 2008 by iRobot co-founder Helen Greiner and backed by several top technology investors, Aria notably developed the Persistent Aerial Reconnaissance and Communications (PARC) tethered drone. The company ceased operations in March 2019. World View claims to have reached an important milestone representing a key step towards the productization of persistent and navigational stratospheric flight. After achieving the goal of more than 30 days aloft with full navigational control, the Stratollite completed its 32-day mission over the weekend showcasing its enhanced long-duration flight capability. Prior to this mission, the longest Stratollite flight stood at sixteen days. This mission moves World View closer to scaled commercial operations. Porsche and Boeing have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the premium urban air mobility market and the extension of urban traffic into airspace. With this
