Neya in the News

Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), an employee-owned scientific research and engineering company, acquired Neya Systems LLC on April 28, 2017. Neya Systems LLC is known for their development of unmanned systems for defense, homeland security, and commercial users.

UxCBRN provides IOP interfaces to a broad range of sensors, is easily expandable to include more sensor types, and can be retrofitted onto current unmanned ground vehicle platforms.

From an investor's perspective, it seems like only yesterday the drone industry was hovering on the horizon, just waiting to begin to realize its immense potential. But in 2016, drones have won renewed attention from investors and manufacturers alike, with the latter racing to find homes for their innovative solutions in an array of commercial applications.

Neya officials said they were continuing to develop advanced technologies for human-robot interfaces for complex platforms and multi-robot missions. "Our and Lockheed Martin's use of the unmanned aircraft system control segment architecture greatly sped up the integration of our respective technologies, resulting in a comprehensive capability that can be ultimately transitioned to the warfighter very efficiently," Parag Batavia said.

Robots are already moving out of the research lab, off the factory floor, and into our everyday lives. But how will those robots evolve–and how will we see them–in the next five years? I asked some of the humans who build them, leaders at the robotics companies Fast Company selected as the year’s most innovative.

Our team is responding to demand among our key markets to go beyond what’s currently available. This is an exciting time to be in robotics since the concept has been gaining acceptance from society as a whole. Practical, real-world applications are being made in larger numbers across all major industries—including agriculture and others, along with the ones you would think of automatically, like automotive and defense.

“We are pleased to announce our first two commercial hardware products, UxStreamer and UxStreamer Mini, which represent state-of-the-art, standards-compliant real-time H.264 video streaming solutions,” said Neya Systems president Dr. Parag Batavia. “The release of these two standards-compliant hardware platforms is consistent with our company’s long-term commitment to supporting open unmanned systems architectures and business models. We anticipate strong interest in these products from the unmanned systems community.”
