US House Passes Bill that Provides Funding for AAM Infrastructure

美國眾議院通過法案，為先進空中交通基礎設施建設提供專項資金

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill that aims to provide $25 million in grants over two years to plan and build vertiport infrastructure for advanced air mobility (AAM) and future eVTOL operations.

美國眾議院通過法案，提供2500萬專項資金，以支持未來兩年垂直升降機場、先進空中交通基礎設施和eVTOL運營的規劃和建設。

“We applaud the House of Representatives for passing this important legislation, which will support the future of on-demand aviation,” said Ed Bolen, president and CEO of NBAA, in a press release. “The targeted investments outlined in this legislation will assist in creating new, innovative and sustainable air transportation networks throughout our country that will support hundreds of thousands of green jobs while also ensuring our nation’s global leadership in aviation.”

美國國家公務航空協會（NBAA）會長兼CEO艾德. 伯倫在記者發布會上表示，“我們十分贊賞眾議院通過這一重要法律的舉動，這對按需航空業的未來起到支撐作用。該法案中羅列的目標投資有助于在本國內創造新型創新性和可持續性空中交通網絡， 實現綠色就業，同時保證我們國家在世界航空領域的領導地位。”

Pete Bunce, president and CEO of GAMA, said the House’s decision to pass the two bills is encouraging news for the AAM industry.  

美國通用航空制造商協會會長兼CEO Pete Bunce說，眾議院的決定對于先進空中交通行業從業者來說是令人振奮的消息。

“The support of Congress will be instrumental in the emergence of AAM and its facilitation of additional transportation options, job creation, economic growth, further environmental sustainability, and advancement in aerospace technology,” Bunce said. “Through proper planning and infrastructure preparation, and close cooperation with the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] on enabling rulemaking, we can lead the way in this promising new sector.”

“議會的支持對于先進空中交通的出現起到重要作用，同時促進了交通工具選擇多元化，增加就業機會，推動經濟增長、環境可持續化發展以及航空技術的發展。通過全面的規劃、基礎設施建設準備以及與美國聯邦航空局的密切合作，制定規則，我們便能成為這一前景光明的新興行業引領者。”

Argeo First to Operate Maritime Robotics’ Mariner X Unmanned Surface Vessel

Argeo推出第一艘基于Maritime Robotics公司Mariner X的水上無人船

The first operator of the new Mariner X USV platform is Argeo. Dubbed Argus, Argeo’s first unmanned survey and inspection vehicle is intended to exploit the strong demand for accurate ocean mapping, especially within the growing offshore wind market. The Argus USV is geared to conduct advanced mapping and inspection services using robotics and autonomous ocean space technology for offshore and energy projects in water depths from 2–200 meters.

Argeo是新型Mariner X水上無人船平臺的首個運營者。Dubbed Argus是Argeo的首個無人測繪監測船，以開發精準海上測繪的強大需求，特別是與日逐增的離岸風能市場需求。Argus水上無人船主要是面向離岸和水深2-200米的能源項目運用機器人和自動化海洋空間技術實施先進測繪及監測服務。

The Mariner X’s substantial astern deck space fits two actuated moonpools and two dedicated sensor positions, allowing for a wide range of surface and sub-surface sensors and other payloads.

Mariner X大型后甲板面積可安裝兩個驅動型月池和專用傳感器，適用于各種表面和次表面傳感器和其他載荷。

Another feature of the Mariner X is the hull and superstructure design, based on a collaboration between Maritime Robotics, Ulstein Design, and local boat designer Innovation JBA. The shape of the foreship is intended to facilitate improved force distribution, and the tampered front enables a gentler displacement to allow better stability during poor weather conditions. “This translates to fewer disturbances and thus better data quality when surveying”, said Hovstein.

Mariner X的另外一個特點是其船身和上層結構的設計，該設計是Maritime Robotics、Ulstein設計和當地船體創新設計公司JBA合作的成果。船前部的形狀是為了改善船體力的分配，船前部的整改使得在惡劣天氣條件下移動平緩而保證更好的穩定性。這樣的話在測繪過程中干擾減少，則能得到更高質的數據。

“As a multi-purpose platform, the Mariner X is designed to replace or operate as a force multiplier in conjunction with a conventional crewed survey vessel. This can significantly reduce both the costs and environmental impact of operations at sea”, says Pederick.

作為一個多功能平臺，Mariner X連同傳統載人測繪船扮演著力量增器的角色，大大減少海上作業的成本和環境影響。

Japan’s First Autonomous Drone ‘Skydio’ to Provide Real-Time Video Transmission Service, Facilitating the Inspection of On-the-Spot Situations like Catastrophe and Disaster

日本首架自主飛行無人機“Skydio”提供實時視頻傳輸服務，可以更快地檢查災難等現場情況

Up till now, Skydio must manually extract data from the drones after shooting, therefore it takes time to review and share the data on the cloud, especially in the event of a time-consuming disaster, we receive a large number of request of real-time video transmission service.

到目前為止，Skydio 無人機在拍攝后必須手動從飛機中提取數據，因此檢查拍攝數據并在云端共享數據需要時間。特別是在發生耗時的災難時，我們收到了許多可以實時傳輸視頻的服務的請求。

Via a PC web browser to access Skydio drone management service ‘Skydio Cloud’, you will be allowed to check the real-time image taken by drone in a remote location and thus save the time and effort to sharing data, enlarging the range of drone use.  

通過從 PC 網絡瀏覽器訪問 Skydio 的無人機管理服務“Skydio Cloud”，該服務允許您在遠程位置實時查看無人機拍攝的圖像。因此，通過使用該服務，無需人工共享數據的時間和精力，可以擴大無人機的使用范圍。

Japan Releases a New Regulation to Ban the Flight of Unregistered Small Drones

日本啟用新規，禁飛未登記的小型無人機

On June 20th, Japan started to implement the regulation that the owners of unmanned aircraft like mini drones have to make a registration.

日本6月20日啟用了規定小型無人機等無人航空器持有者必須登記的制度。

It is reported that the so-called mini drones refer to UAVs, whose hull with battery weigh above 100 grams. The explicit definition is on the purpose of quickly fixing on the owners who involved in accidents or disputes. All of the unregistered drones are banned from flying. Any violators will be punished with imprisonment of no more than one year or a penalty of no more than 0.5 million yen (approximately equals to 25 thousand RMB).

據悉，規定中的小型無人機是指含電池的機體重量在100克以上的無人機，目的是為了在發生事故或糾紛時迅速鎖定持有者。禁飛非登記的無人機，違反者將處以一年以下有期徒刑或50萬日元（約合人民幣2.5萬元）以下罰款。

According to registration system, owners must declare information like name, address and model to Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.After paying a handling fee, there will be an identification number. However, drones are unable to be registered if there are safety problems like repeated accidents.

根據登記制度, 持有者必須向國交省申報姓名、住址、機體型號等信息。支付手續費后獲得識別號碼。若屢次發生事故等安全上的問題，則無法登記。
