RDARS Selects ModalAI's VOXL2 Platform for its Eagle Eye Drone and Commences Drone Production

TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - RDARS Inc. ("RDARS" or the "Company") (CSE: RDRS), an autonomous robotics and drone technology company developing advanced autonomous drone and robotic systems for alarm system augmentation and surveillance, is pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated September 13, 2022, it has selected ModalAI's (www.modalai.com) VOXL2 platform as a key component for its Eagle Eye drone. The VOXL2 ecosystem represents an advanced flight stack for autonomous drones and will provide the advanced capabilities RDARS is building into its Eagle Eye drone in order to meet Transport Canada's Beyond Visual Line of Sight ("BVLOS") requirements. 

The VOXL2 platform is BlueUAS Framework compliant, allowing RDARS to more easily comply with the United States' Department of Defense standard. "ModalAI has merged an advanced Qualcomm system-on-chip with the ease of use of the PX4 Autopilot. VOXL2 expands on this further through the integration of components and weight reduction," said Jason Braverman, Chief Technology Officer of the Company. "VOXL2 is an extraordinary piece of technology, with its extremely low weight of 16 grams, and the ability to power 6 onboard cameras and a suite of other systems with ease. ModalAI gives RDARS a powerful and simpler path forward," Jason added.

"We are excited about utilizing this powerhouse of advanced technology, which will allow us to introduce solutions into our Eagle Eye drone and Eagle Watch software that are ahead of the industry and times. We have built in features such as 360-degree visual observation from the drone during flight times that provides the pilot complete situation awareness and can mitigate risks in a BVLOS flight mission. We believe this will be the future of drone flights in a BVLOS environment and may become a regulatory requirement in the near future which RDARS will be well prepared for. We are excited that our work with ModalAI provides for and supports our solutions today, ahead of industry standards that are struggling with risk mitigation for BVLOS flights," said Charles Zwebner, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "We are forging ahead and are proud of our technology team leading the way with breakthrough technology," added Charles.  

ModalAI® accelerates autonomy by providing innovators with robot and drone perception and communications systems that are manufactured in the United States. ModalAl's highly integrated artificial intelligence-powered modules empower a variety of industries to utilize aerial and ground autonomous navigations systems that communicate on 4G and 5G cellular networks.

RDARS possesses a disruptive technology that is advancing the security industry's approach to protecting commercial, industrial, and residential properties, by introducing protection with autonomous artificial intelligence systems that allows for real time response, situation awareness, verification, intervention, evidence recording, data capture, analysis, and immediate downstream transmissions to public safety agencies. RDARS has the ability, upon a property security breach, in real time to receive, analyze, and downstream the data and inform public safety agencies who the perpetrators potentially are before they even arrive at the property.

Founded in 2019, RDARS is an original equipment manufacturer of its flagship product, the Eagle Watch Platform, comprised of Eagle Eye, a drone, Eagle Nest, a drone station, Eagle Rover, an indoor robotic system, and Eagle Watch Command & Control Software. The Company's autonomous robotic systems provide situational awareness in a cost effective and reliable manner. The Company's mission is to improve alarm response and situational awareness by obtaining required approvals from federal regulatory agencies for BVLOS operations. RDARS is currently developing its technology for private and enterprise customers in the United States and Canada, where these customers require a more reliable and advanced understanding of their property security.
