AirMatrix Deploys Libra in Texas
AirMatrix has successfully deployed Libra in Texas in order to provide situational awareness to drone operators and state-level agencies. It expanded real-time visibility across low-level airspace to support the growing demand for scalable drone operations occurring in Texas.
The Dallas–Fort Worth area alone accounts for an estimated 15% of national commercial drone flight hours, logging over 75,000 BVLOS missions in 2024 across delivery, inspection, and public safety use cases.
This deployment, in partnership with local drone operators, marks a key milestone in advancing the North Texas corridor—one of the most active regions for commercial drone activity in the United States. Texas ranks among the top three states for commercial drone registrations.
Drone adoption is not limited to commercial players. Texas agencies operate hundreds of drones across law enforcement, fire rescue, and infrastructure inspection programs. Dallas Fire-Rescue flew over 3,500 drone-assisted response missions in 2023, while the Texas Department of Public Safety regularly conducts aerial patrols and accident assessments using drones.
Despite this growth, stakeholders across Texas—ranging from drone operators to city planners, public safety teams, and local residents—are asking the same question: What's in our skies, and how do we manage it?
The DHS has called for a combined system to manage UAS traffic akin to existing air traffic control systems. The Government Accountability Office has also highlighted the necessity of a drone traffic management system to integrate drones into the national airspace.
'As drone operations scale across Texas, cities and agencies need tools that offer both visibility and control,' said Bashir Khan, CEO of AirMatrix. 'Libra gives stakeholders—from operators to zoning teams to concerned residents—a real-time, trusted view of what's happening in the sky within milliseconds. This deployment is a foundation for smarter, safer airspace management across the state.'
AirMatrix coverage will be expanding beyond Dallas into Houston over the coming months. This marks the fourth new deployment of Libra in the government sector this year.

LIBRA promoter Davis calls token a ‘memecoin' in updated defence after suspicious transfers surface
The promoter of the controversial LIBRA token, Hayden Mark Davis, has reportedly recharacterised the asset as a speculative 'memecoin' in a recent US court filing. It's a sharp reversal from earlier claims that the token was intended to support Argentine small businesses. The change comes as investigators surface a $500,000 crypto transfer from a Davis-linked wallet made on January 30, during his meeting with President Javier Milei at Argentina's presidential palace. Blockchain data first reported by La Nación shows the funds were sent to US-based exchange Kraken in the form of USDC. A second transfer of $507,000 followed just 42 minutes later via Bitget. The same wallet was previously used to offload millions in MELANIA tokens, another memecoin launched by Davis. More than $3.4 million was moved that day to other wallets, including one controlled by Kelsier Ventures, a firm tied to Davis and his family. Crypto researcher Fernando Molina, who flagged the transactions earlier this month, said the movement of funds, while not conclusive on its own, warrants further scrutiny given the timing and links between wallets. The 30-page legal filing, submitted on July 16 to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York and reported by Clarín, argues that LIBRA lacked investment fundamentals and should be classified as a memecoin — a speculative digital asset with no intrinsic value or investor protections. That position sharply contradicts Davis's earlier messaging, and that of President Milei, who promoted LIBRA on X on February 14 as a vehicle for economic growth before deleting the post hours later. The token crashed more than 97% within hours, erasing billions in market capitalisation. While Argentina's internal investigation into the LIBRA scandal was shut down in May, the case continues abroad. A US court hearing involving Davis and co-defendants Benjamin Chow and Julian Peh is scheduled for August 19. Kyle Baird is DL News' Weekend Editor. Got a tip?

Newmont Deploys Drones and Remote-Controlled Scoop to Dig Out Trapped Miners
Newmont Corp. is using specialized drones and remote-controlled equipment to help rescue three workers that have been trapped underground for two days at its Red Chris gold mine in western Canada. The drones are deployed to assess underground conditions while a remote-controlled scoop from the firm's Brucejack site has started removing debris from a blocked area, a Newmont spokesperson said Thursday in an emailed statement. A second collapse had cut off communication, but Newmont said the workers are understood to be sheltering in a refuge chamber designed to support 16 people.
