Silvus Technologies Introduces StreamCare+
StreamCare+ is Silvus’ premier protection and concierge support program, designed to eliminate downtime in mission-critical environments.
CCA
The demonstration further proved the CCA surrogate and F-35’s ability to use a tactical proliferated low Earth orbit data link to accomplish seamless coordination
Transport
During the Trojan Footprint exercise in Romania and Macedonia, Romanian aircraft carrying a handful of US troops released two Grasshopper glider drones loaded with construction materials, food, and medical supplies in support of American Green Berets on the ground.
UAM/UTM
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore has awarded Thales, as partner in a consortium with Deeeplabs, a contract to deliver an UAS Traffic Management (UTM) System based on the TopSky - AstraUTM platform, to provide an integrated, one-stop portal for all unmanned aircraft operations in Singapore.
“No other platform is even close to the MQ-9” in terms of the number of strikes against Iran, and it has done so without putting its pilots, who remotely operate the aircraft, in danger.
Money can buy better drones, but it can’t convince an institution to use them effectively. Only changes in how the force thinks, trains, and listens can do that.
Its laser targeting capability allows anti-aircraft teams and drone operators to detect threats from up to 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) away, including in low-visibility or total darkness
A concept from scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology adapts the physics behind the traditional South American bola weapon into a modern drone defence technology designed for short-range interception.
The interceptor drone is one of the most effective solutions to combat the surge in the use of one-way effectors, loitering munitions, otherwise known as 'kamikaze drones' or strike drones.
The live-fire demonstration of the Bunker Rupture and Kinetic Explosive Round (BRAKER), comes only weeks after the initial design and rapid prototyping of the system, showcasing the Army's accelerated approach to innovation in the face of evolving threats.

VECTOR‑300 is a highly efficient, industrially scalable, optimized autopilot designed for the high-volume manufacturing requirements of attritable or fungible UAS platforms.
ROOK is a leading soft-kill countermeasure system, providing improved situational awareness and threat response in complex battlefield conditions. The system's electronic countermeasures defeat threats before they reach the vehicle by confusing or jamming their guidance systems.
South Korea is preparing to take a key step toward propulsion self-reliance, as Hanwha Aerospace begins ground testing of a homegrown engine for Korean Air’s Low Observable Unmanned Wingman System (LOWUS) stealth drone
With the deep integration of intelligent unmanned systems and low-altitude wireless networks, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms are rapidly evolving from isolated aerial platforms into complex cyber-physical systems that tightly integrate sensing, communication, decision-making, and execution
The MASNA Ventures fund that will back the drone facility aims to capitalize on increased defense cooperation between the US and Saudi Arabia, which was named a major non-NATO ally in November, when Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met President Donald Trump at the White House
Vivid Sydney festival's drone show has been cancelled for now after a technical malfunction. The show's operator says a change in radio frequency caused 89 drones to fall into Sydney Harbour around Cockle Bay.
In the future, the mobile network itself will act as a sensor—a large-scale radar system—by detecting changes and anomalies in data traffic that indicate drone control or communication.
The concept transforms the rotary unmanned platform into a long-range aerial deployment carrier capable of transporting and releasing ISR drones and precision effectors deep into operational theaters while maintaining stand-off survivability
“We pushed the envelope, identified a risk, learned from the data, and have cleared the YFQ-42A to return to flight. Even when flight testing on the YFQ-42 was temporarily paused, the program was not.”
Extending AV_Halo with distributed autonomy and resilient RF sensing to enable faster decisions and mission execution in denied environments
PteroDynamics will deliver P4 Transwing UAS aircraft, plus training and support, with the option for RAN to purchase larger P5 Transwing UAS systems for delivery starting in 2027
