Swedish AI drones to reduce wildlife strikes in the United States

The aviation industry faces a growing challenge in mitigating wildlife strikes, which pose a threat to both human life and aircraft safety. Traditional wildlife management methods—such as patrolling with vehicles, using pyrotechnics, trained dogs and gunshots—are proving to be inefficient. This has opened the door for innovation, and Flox is leading the charge in a new project supported by Future Mobility.
