Parrot and High Lander enhance drone fleet automation 

<a href="http://www.parrot.com">Parrot</a>, the leading European drone group, is launching its Bug Bounty program with <a href="https://www.yeswehack.com/fr/">YesWeHack</a>, the first European crowdsourced security platform.

 

Through this partnership, Parrot benefits from YesWeHack's vast community of cybersecurity researchers to identify potential vulnerabilities in its drones, mobile applications and WebServices.

 

The Bug Bounty program will take place in two phases:

 

<ul><li>The private programs will initially give exclusive access to selected security researchers and will include future Parrot drone models. The expertise and diverse skills of the researchers will confirm the high level of security of the products before they are marketed, for the greater benefit of Parrot users' security and the protection of their data.</li>
	<li>After a first phase in a private Bug Bounty program, and after being commercialized, the products will enter a public program. Their security will then be scrutinized by the entire YesWeHack community, representing more than 22,000 cybersecurity researchers.</li>
</ul> 

Cybersecurity is a priority for Parrot. Parrot provides its users with full transparency on the security of their data and has conducted numerous security audits on its products, both internally and by its customers. The complete assessment conducted by Bishop Fox, one of the most recognized private companies for professional offensive security services, is published on its <a href="https://www.parrot.com/fr/securite-vie-privee">website</a>.

 

<blockquote>
After the integration of cybersecurity from the initial design phase of Parrot drones, the Bug Bounty launched with YesWeHack completes the audits and brings an additional step of control. In the event of a flaw, YesWeHack's community of cybersecurity researchers will detect it and allow Parrot to correct it, before real attackers can misuse it.  - Victor Vuillard, Chief Security Officer and CTO Cybersecurity of the Parrot Group.
</blockquote>

 

<blockquote>
We are delighted to support Parrot in its commitment to the drone and user's data security. The richness and diversity of the YesWeHack community offers the spectrum of skills required to cover the full range of perimeters, whether hardware or applications. The public Bug Bounty phase, which will take place in a second phase, will allow Parrot's products to be confronted with the expertise of several thousand researchers, thus reinforcing its transparency in cybersecurity. Says Guillaume Vassault-Houlière, CEO of YesWeHack.
</blockquote>

The program will provide Parrot with an ongoing analysis of the security of its products in addition to the various security audits already carried out.

Parrot launches its Bug Bounty in partnership with YesWeHack

<a href="http://www.parrot.com">Parrot</a>, Europe's leading drone group, was chosen by the Direction Générale de l’Armement (French defense procurement agency, DGA) to supply its ANAFI USA micro-drones to equip the three corps of the French Army (Air, Sea and Land), as part of its call for tenders launched last February.

 

This success is the result of two years of work to develop, secure and produce a drone specifically designed to meet the needs of military forces. The selected drone ANAFI USA is specially adapted for worldwide forces, offers soldiers a micro-drone of 500 grams with day and night observation capabilities. With a flight time of 32 minutes, it has the best performance in its category. The 5-year contract covers several hundred drones, the development of adaptations and the maintenance of equipment and software. The first systems will be delivered in the upcoming months.

 

ANAFI USA extends the reconnaissance capabilities of the French forces. Thanks to its powerful 32x zoom, articulated around two 4K 21-megapixel cameras, the detection of person-sized targets is possible up to 2km away with a detail accuracy of 13cm. The zoom images are merged with those obtained by the FLIR Boson thermal imaging camera; the latter allows the detection of hot spots by day and by night. Deployable in 55 seconds, it is also very discreet: with a sound signature of 79 dB at a distance of 1m, it is inaudible from 130m.

 

Thanks to the technological partnerships implemented by Parrot with leading players in their fields, users can also benefit from the growing ecosystem of compatible software. For example, they can manage drone fleets in real time (Skyward, A Verizon company and DroneSense), generate visible and thermal photos/videos (Survae) and tactical maps (Pix4Dreact). Parrot’s R&amp;D services are also planned to further adapt ANAFI USA to the needs of the French forces. 

 

ANAFI USA is a revolution for Defense organizations, stemming from the expertise developed by Parrot for the general public. Defense forces are now looking to quickly make recent technologies, with proven performance, available to their operatives, at a controlled cost. The ANAFI platform technology, based on the cell phone component bank, reaches a level of reliability reinforced by the hundreds of thousands of flight hours of consumer drones. ANAFI USA's technology choices offer a cost of acquisition and performance unmatched by those of products traditionally developed for the armed forces. 

 

ANAFI USA also meets the DGA requirements in terms of security. Securing the connection, securing the data, securing the firmware: it meets the most stringent cybersecurity standards. A digital signature protects against malicious attempts to modify the drone's software. The drone allows mission data to be recorded only on the ground segment, not in the air vector, extracted afterwards for analysis, by physical connection. ANAFI USA has a secure WPA2 connection and open protocols that guarantees confidence in the interoperability of recorded data for confidential missions. 

 

ANAFI USA is entirely developed in France and produced in the United States. No essential components are produced in China. 

 

The drone and its piloting application operate without requiring internet access. Data processing is subject to the strictest standards of the GDPR (General Regulations on Data Protection). All drone data is fully under the control of the user. When it is shared, the data is stored on secure servers in Europe. The FreeFlight 6 piloting application, audited by the private company Bishop Fox, world-renowned for its offensive security services, also confirms the security offered to users and the protection of their data.

 

ANAFI USA has also been selected by U.S Federal Government partner organizations as part of the project Blue sUAS. It is the only drone from a non-American drone manufacturer to be commercialized on the purchase platform of the American Defense, Government Agencies and Security Forces: the GSA Schedule. It is already ordered and in use by numerous Police Departments, Federal Agencies and Firefighters in the United States and in several other countries around the world. 

 

Parrot’s prototype was also a finalist in the U.S Department of Defense’s SRR Program Tranch I. The Government will continue to independently evaluate the Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) success metrics and provide a separate notification, which could potentially allow other Department of Defense (DoD) or Federal Government agencies to enter into potential future procurement.

 

Parrot, pioneer and leader in the drone industry in Europe, with its R&amp;D in Paris of 200 engineers, is very pleased to have been selected by the DGA. The Group, with a total of more than 350 engineers with its subsidiaries in Europe and the United States, considers the Defense and Security market to be one of the most promising. Parrot Group's know-how is mainly built around Parrot branded professional micro-drones, flying wings dedicated to professionals for longer missions (senseFly) and image analysis and mapping software solutions (Pix4D) adapted to a large number of drones of all brands. In addition to Defense and Security, the Parrot Group's other fields of application are public safety, the management and inspection of energy and communication infrastructures (high-voltage lines, cell towers, solar farms, nuclear and wind power plants, mines and quarries), site management and monitoring (real estate, roads, railways, engineering structures), precision agriculture (crop health, hydrometry, pest control).

 

<blockquote>
Henri Seydoux, Chairman, CEO, founder and main shareholder of Parrot concludes: "We are very proud to have won this tender from the DGA and to keep working on further opportunities with the USA. It is the fruit of the meticulous work carried out by our teams in France for more than 2 years, and that of 10 years of expertise. By taking the bet of developing the ANAFI platform, designed for the general public, ruggedized for the needs of professionals, and secured for the requirements of the military forces, we have taken an important step for the Group. In today's world, Parrot is convinced that it is key for security forces, and armies, to rely on powerful, high-tech consumer equipment that is highly secure.”

Looking ahead to the new European drone regulations, taking effect in January 2021 and to ensure a smooth transition for existing ANAFI users and those considering ANAFI, Parrot has been working closely with the European authorities and regulators.

Find here below an informative Q&amp;A with Parrot’s Head of Quality, Manuel Le Bail: 

 

1. What is the timeline for the implementation of the new European drone Regulation?

The new European drone regulation will be applicable starting in January 2021:

2. Can I still use my Parrot ANAFI, ANAFI FPV, ANAFI Thermal, ANAFI USA without class Identification label after 01/01/2021?

Yes, with no time limit!

Parrot drone models ANAFI, ANAFI FPV, ANAFI Thermal, ANAFI USA without class Identification label will be allowed to be operated in different Open category scenarios depending on the period:

<ul><li>During the transitional period of 2 years - until 31/12/2022:</li>
</ul>Drones without class Identification label (C0, C1, C2, C3 or C4) and weighing less than 500g, as ANAFI, ANAFI FPV, ANAFI Thermal, and ANAFI USA benefit from the same rights in terms of operation as if they were marked C1 : flight in Open A1 category :

<ul><li>After the transitional period - from 01/01/2023:</li>
</ul>Drones without class Identification label (C0, C1, C2, C3 or C4) and weighing less than 25kg, as ANAFI, ANAFI FPV, ANAFI Thermal, and ANAFI USA, benefit from the same rights in terms of operation as if they were marked C3: flight in Open A3 category:

Regulatory reference: Article 20, Article 22 and Annex part A of EU regulation 2019/947 and EU regulation 2019/945

<a href="https://www.easa.europa.eu/faq/116508">https://www.easa.europa.eu/faq/116508</a> 

 

3. Will Parrot ANAFI, ANAFI FPV, ANAFI Thermal and ANAFI USA drone models eventually benefit from a class Identification label?

Technically, we are convinced that all our ANAFI drone models meet the requirements of Class C1 of the European regulation 2019/945.

All of our models are already CE marked, and we are currently working to have them benefit from Class C1 Identification label, which allows the most permissive operating scenario in the Open category: Scenario A1.

As of today, we are not in the capacity to confirm the exact date of the C1 label obtention, because several topics are managed and still under review by European administrations (standards, notifying authorities...).

4. If I already have a Parrot ANAFI, ANAFI FPV, ANAFI Thermal, ANAFI USA drone in my possession, will it be possible to obtain an Identification class label retrospectively?

This eventuality is currently being studied by the European authorities. Either through physical retrofit or through remotely firmware update, Parrot drones could be made compliant with the C1 technical requirements, and thus get the C1 Identification label. Parrot is advocating for both solutions to be allowed, under the strict control and responsibility of the manufacturer.
