PrecisionHawk Gains Investments from DOCOMO, Verizon, Intel
PrecisionHawk, a start-up that specializes in data collection via drones, closed $18 million Series C funding round with strategic investments from NTT DOCOMO, Verizon Ventures, Intel Capital, USAA, Yamaha Motors and others. This investment brings PrecisionHawk’s total funding to more than $30 million.
PrecisionHawk said the new funding will be used to expand its terrestrial data analysis platform, DataMapper, which currently ingests data from all drone systems but, in the future, will combine aerial data from satellites and manned aviation so users can manage, analyze and compare all incoming data sources on a single platform.

You just read about Intel. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Barefoot Networks built P4-programmable Ethernet switch ASICs. What became of it?
Barefoot Networks brought P4-programmable Ethernet switch ASICs to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Intel. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Intel today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
