Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) is collaborating with Lockheed Martin (LMT), Nvidia (NVDA), Keysight Technologies Inc. (KEYS), ODC and Astris AI to demonstrate the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies for detecting and tracking unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The communications company will utilize its existing 5G infrastructure alongside an AI-enabled system to identify, track and monitor UAS, according to a statement from LMT. The system, called NetSense, was demonstrated in the Miami area in July, Lockheed Martin said. It used Verizon's existing 5G network spectrum, along with Nvidia's AI Aerial platform, ODC's AI-native Radio Access Network software, Keysight's radio-frequency simulation technology, and Lockheed Martin's systems and algorithms to analyze radio-frequency disturbances to identify drones, predict their flight paths and provide real-time alerts. The demonstration showed that NetSense could detect and maintain track of drones without requiring changes to existing cellular radio deployments. The technology is designed for applications including airports, power plants, stadiums, schools, hospitals and other critical infrastructure, as well as government monitoring. Separately, Morningstar named Verizon among its list of top 10 dividend stocks. "Verizon is one of the highest-yielding stocks...
