The Japan UAS Industrial Development Association (JUIDA) has introduced a Bear Mitigation Technology Showcase to address the rising bear sightings and attacks across Japan. This initiative highlights drone-based solutions from JUIDA member organizations, focusing on surveillance, deterrence, and habitat mapping to enhance community safety.
The showcase features six organizations, including Island Biyori Co., Ltd., which utilizes multi-tier autonomous drones for bear damage prevention, and 3eye Bird Co., Ltd., known for its AI-powered drones that can detect and track bears using night vision and infrared technology. The increasing demand for effective bear response strategies underscores the importance of these innovative solutions in protecting residents and wildlife.
Looking ahead, companies like 3eye Bird Co., Ltd. are targeting commercial deployment by 2026, while Terra Drone Corporation plans to introduce bear-repellent drones by winter 2025. The ongoing development of these technologies will be crucial in shaping future bear response efforts across Japan. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
