Intel Acquires German UAV Maker Ascending Technologies

Puts Chip Maker Directly Into The Drone Market

Intel has signed a definitive agreement, subject to customary closing conditions, to acquire Ascending Technologies, a drone company located in Krailing, Germany. The company has developed auto-pilot software for its aircraft.

According to an article credited to Josh Walden, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intel’s New Technology Group, and posted on the Intel blog, Intel has already partnered to combine Ascending Technologies’ sense-and-avoid algorithms with Intel RealSense technology’s real-time depth-sensing capability. "Together, these technologies can, among other things, improve drone safety – helping them avoid obstacles and collisions," Walden wrote.

With the acquisition, Intel says it gains expertise and technology to accelerate the deployment of Intel RealSense technology into the fast growing drone market segment. "We plan for the Ascending Technologies team to continue supporting their current customers while also collaborating with Intel’s Perceptual Computing team to develop UAV technology that can help drones fly with more awareness of their environments," Walden said.
