FAA Enlists WhiteFox in Effort to Protect Airports from Drones

WhiteFox Defense joins the FAA’s Airport UAS detection and mitigation research program in Atlantic City and Seattle. Drone sightings near airports are on the rise, and the risk to those in the air is very real.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) selected WhiteFox Defense to join their program testing the most effective drone detection and mitigation technologies.

In an important effort to protect airports, passengers, and crews from unauthorized drones, the FAA’s National Security Programs and Incident Response section is testing drone detection technology.

This technology aims to provide greater airspace awareness without disrupting other elements of the National Airspace System (NAS).

Initial testing took place at Atlantic City Airport, home of the FAA’s William J. Hughes Technical Center, before expanding to additional airports around the country.

Syndio Launches New Product Focused on Making Promotions Equitable & Explainable

SEATTLE, March 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Each year, Equal Pay Day shines a spotlight on pay inequities due to gender, race, and ethnicity. The pay gap, however, is rooted in a problem that goes far beyond just pay: opportunity inequity. Without equal access to opportunities to advance to higher-level, higher-paying jobs, the pay gap is exacerbated.

Today, Syndio, the world's leading workplace equity analytics platform, is expanding its groundbreaking OppEQ™product with Promotions, a new solution that helps companies analyze and address the leading cause of pay gaps: disparities in promotion rates across gender, race, and ethnicity.
