"We recognized that while potentially applicable, prior related AI attack ideas may make an AI drone ‘lose’ its target, a much more dangerous scenario exists where an attacker could actually control the drone’s behaviour." - Shaoyuan Xie, a UC Irvine graduate student researcher.

Flight testing of the He 177 in late summer 1942 revealed deficient stability around the yaw and pitch axes, resulting in extremely poor bombing accuracy when using the Lotfe 7 bombsight. This was caused by the drifting motion of the aircraft in flight due to its relatively short, round fuselage.
Transport
Preserving the reliability, performance, and production maturity of the R66 platform, the R66 TURBINETRUCK repurposes the cabin entirely for essential payload, enabling mission-critical logistics and resupply operations in the most challenging environments.
Business
Entry into the airborne missile protection market for UAS and aircraft through a globally deployed aircraft protection platform installed on across 40+ aircraft types serving U.S. Army, NATO, leading armed forces in APAC and UN aviation fleets.

The Flexrotor is a Group 2 small tactical vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aircraft system (UAS). It has a MTOW of 25 kg (55 lbs) and is designed for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions for more than 12-14 hours in a typical operational configuration.
Events
The JIATF 401 C-sUAS Industry Day’s purpose is to foster transparency and communicate needs and challenges on c-sUAS strategies with our industry partners while providing participants with networking opportunities
OPA
The Speed and Runway Independent Technologies (SPRINT) project aims to design, build, and fly an X-plane to demonstrate the key technologies and integrated concepts that enable a transformational combination of aircraft speed and runway independence.
Events
Companies were scored based on Gauntlet I performance, military operator evaluations, and production and supply chain capabilities. The Drone Dominance Program selected the Top 11 performers to receive orders. The top 11 companies are finalists for prototype contracts.
C-UAS
STORM 2 is a lightweight system that covers a wide range of frequencies. STORM 2 provides a reactive jamming capability, enabling each individual soldier to carry their own counter-radio frequency capability and avoiding the need for bulky manpacks.
Electronic Sub-Systems
The HGuide I700 is designed to provide high precision for unmanned air, land and sea vehicles in GNSS-challenged environments. The new inertial navigation unit requires no license, enabling US and international customers to deploy systems faster and simplify development.
C-UAS
The analysis of RF signals to identify potential threats is legally permissible in the United States, provided that the methods used do not intercept the contents of private communications.

Decoupling the airframe from the AI pilot means the Air Force will have not one but two decisions to make as it narrows the field of competitors in Increment 1 later this year. With two aircraft and two pilot systems, there are four possible combinations to choose from.
