US House Passes Bill that Provides Funding for AAM Infrastructure

美国众议院通过法案，为先进空中交通基础设施建设提供专项资金

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.

美国众议院通过法案，提供2500万专项资金，以支持未来两年垂直升降机场、先进空中交通基础设施和eVTOL运营的规划和建设。

“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.”

美国国家公务航空协会（NBAA）会长兼CEO艾德. 伯伦在记者发布会上表示，“我们十分赞赏众议院通过这一重要法律的举动，这对按需航空业的未来起到支撑作用。该法案中罗列的目标投资有助于在本国内创造新型创新性和可持续性空中交通网络， 实现绿色就业，同时保证我们国家在世界航空领域的领导地位。”

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

美国通用航空制造商协会会长兼CEO Pete Bunce说，众议院的决定对于先进空中交通行业从业者来说是令人振奋的消息。

“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.”

“议会的支持对于先进空中交通的出现起到重要作用，同时促进了交通工具选择多元化，增加就业机会，推动经济增长、环境可持续化发展以及航空技术的发展。通过全面的规划、基础设施建设准备以及与美国联邦航空局的密切合作，制定规则，我们便能成为这一前景光明的新兴行业引领者。”

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的水上无人船

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水上无人船平台的首个运营者。Dubbed Argus是Argeo的首个无人测绘监测船，以开发精准海上测绘的强大需求，特别是与日逐增的离岸风能市场需求。Argus水上无人船主要是面向离岸和水深2-200米的能源项目运用机器人和自动化海洋空间技术实施先进测绘及监测服务。

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大型后甲板面积可安装两个驱动型月池和专用传感器，适用于各种表面和次表面传感器和其他载荷。

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的另外一个特点是其船身和上层结构的设计，该设计是Maritime Robotics、Ulstein设计和当地船体创新设计公司JBA合作的成果。船前部的形状是为了改善船体力的分配，船前部的整改使得在恶劣天气条件下移动平缓而保证更好的稳定性。这样的话在测绘过程中干扰减少，则能得到更高质的数据。

“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.

作为一个多功能平台，Mariner X连同传统载人测绘船扮演着力量增器的角色，大大减少海上作业的成本和环境影响。

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

日本首架自主飞行无人机“Skydio”提供实时视频传输服务，可以更快地检查灾难等现场情况

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.

到目前为止，Skydio 无人机在拍摄后必须手动从飞机中提取数据，因此检查拍摄数据并在云端共享数据需要时间。特别是在发生耗时的灾难时，我们收到了许多可以实时传输视频的服务的请求。

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.  

通过从 PC 网络浏览器访问 Skydio 的无人机管理服务“Skydio Cloud”，该服务允许您在远程位置实时查看无人机拍摄的图像。因此，通过使用该服务，无需人工共享数据的时间和精力，可以扩大无人机的使用范围。

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

日本启用新规，禁飞未登记的小型无人机

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日启用了规定小型无人机等无人航空器持有者必须登记的制度。

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).

据悉，规定中的小型无人机是指含电池的机体重量在100克以上的无人机，目的是为了在发生事故或纠纷时迅速锁定持有者。禁飞非登记的无人机，违反者将处以一年以下有期徒刑或50万日元（约合人民币2.5万元）以下罚款。

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.

根据登记制度, 持有者必须向国交省申报姓名、住址、机体型号等信息。支付手续费后获得识别号码。若屡次发生事故等安全上的问题，则无法登记。
