Andrew Carter, President and Co-Founder of ResilienX and CEO Ryan Pleskach sat down with Drones in America host Grant Guillot to discuss the increasing importance of security in UAS operations and their unique approach to safely managing drone ecosystems.

Formed by the same engineers that created the U.S. Army’s Ground Based Sense and Avoid System, ResilienX formed in 2018 with the foresight, “…to understand that that kind of system was going to be needed for the future of drone operations.”

Pleskach and Carter hope to transform drone deliveries for months and years to come with the ResilienX FRAIHMWORK: Fault Recovery and Isolation Health Monitoring frameWORK which highlights the increasing importance of security in UAS operations and provides “safety assurance for autonomous ecosystems.”

Guillot emphasized the importance of integrating public trust into future FAA decisions and drone acceptance. Pleskach highlighted that ResilienX adds to this, “Our solution will integrate horizontally across these ecosystems and allow for increased data transfers, trust in data, data quality assurance…”

Carter added that the goal is to provide a product that can monitor the drone ecosystem and provide safety assurance. One of the ways ResilienX does this is through partnering with cybersecurity-focused companies to create a contingency management platform.

ResilienX acknowledged that through working with a drone ecosystem in lieu of system to system, the fluidity of the operation is fast-paced and constantly evolving. This aids in the development and acknowledgement of innovation within the ecosystem.

As the FAA continues to publish new memorandums and regulations on the topic of autonomous systems and the integrity, safety, and management of these products, ResilienX aims to deliver.

Carter remarked on the safety assurance aspect of drones and the scalability of such a product. There is a need for performance validation and verification that everything is working correctly in order for there to be buy-in from the public.

To test these waters, Carter said that the company is rolling out pilot programs throughout the U.S. within the next 3 to 6 months and as the future unfolds, start to look towards the skies.

SDLC Corp launches Pulastya AI, a voice agent platform that answers business calls from a company's own documents

SDLC Corp launched Pulastya AI, a voice agent platform that answers and places business calls 24/7 using company documents without requiring a long integration process. The platform connects to existing phone numbers and OpenAI accounts, handles calls that it cannot answer by transferring to staff, and saves full transcripts for context.

  • 01Most teams can complete setup in under 30 minutes once Twilio/Exotel, OpenAI, and documents are ready
  • 02Internal tests showed ~500 ms response; it won’t guess and hands off to staff
  • 03Designed for clinics, banks, real estate offices, hotels, schools and support teams handling administrative and informational calls like appointments, bookings, order status and inquiries

Google Just Put AI Chips in Orbit. The Real Story Is the Power Bill on the Ground.

Google Just Put AI Chips in Orbit. The Real Story Is the Power Bill on the Ground.

Google launched a prototype satellite carrying four Trillium TPUs to test whether the chips can survive launch and operate under orbital radiation and heat constraints, driven by power limits on the ground. It is not a data center but a survival test for durability, radiation resistance, and heat dissipation, signaling that energy availability—not chips or models—is becoming the limiting factor for AI infrastructure growth.

  • 01Project Suncatcher's first satellite is a survival test for hardware durability, not operational compute capacity for actual workloads
  • 02Orbital solar can deliver up to 8x more power, and Google research suggests launch costs could drop below $200/kg by the mid-2030s, bringing space build costs closer to some Earth equivalents.

Microsoft frames its Ignite security week around AI agents with real access

Microsoft's Ignite security program centers on AI agents with real access to identities, data and cloud resources.

  • 01Deciding what each agent is allowed to see is where the work sits when governance is missing; CDW research cited by BizTech found 51% of respondents have an established data governance framework.
  • 02The Nov. 17 keynote is the signal to watch: data-level Agent 365 controls would suggest Microsoft is tackling the governance gap; mostly new SOC agents would leave it with customers.
