ANRA Technologies successfully demonstrated its drone inspection capabilities at the New York Power Authority’s (NYPA) facility in White Plains, NY. The event featured live drone operations and showcased ANRA’s Mission Manager software to NYPA executives and invited guests.

Utilizing multiple drones, ANRA displayed the advanced features of its Mission Manager software, including real-time monitoring, tracking of multiple drone operations, and streaming live video feeds. This technology aims to provide safety and cost benefits for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations and sets a foundation for compliance with anticipated FAA rules. 

NYPA Robotics Program Manager Peter Kalaitzidis said, “ANRA’s technology offers a transformative approach to our inspection processes, ensuring greater safety and efficiency. We are excited about the possibilities this partnership holds for the future of UAS Operations.”

Amit Ganjoo, Founder and CEO of ANRA Technologies, echoed this enthusiasm. “This demonstration underscores the capabilities of our Mission Manager software in real-world scenarios. We are proud to support NYPA in pioneering innovative solutions that enhance operational effectiveness and safety.”

The demonstration also underscored how ANRA’s Mission Manager will assist NYPA in expanding its drone operations. By leveraging the monitoring and tracking capabilities of the software, NYPA can enhance its inspection routines, improve response times, and reduce operational costs. This is particularly relevant as NYPA continues to lead in innovative applications of drone technology, as evidenced by its recent achievement of securing a waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for BVLOS operations.

“With the FAA waiver, we can deploy drones for more extensive inspections without the limitations of visual line of sight,” said Kalaitzidis. “ANRA’s Mission Manager will be instrumental in managing these expanded operations safely and efficiently.”
