– Elsight has announced its pivotal role in the Phoenix Air Unmanned (PAU) mission completing a 320-mile aerial pipeline patrol in just 7.6 hours using a single Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) for Shell Pipeline Company (SPLC). Continue reading
As scheduled, Rheinmetall delivered the first Boxer Skyranger 30 cannon-based air defence vehicle to the Bundeswehr at the end of January 2025. This system is the so-called verification model, which will be used for the Bundeswehr’s required approval. Continue reading
The Soviet BI glides midair, its wood-and-metal frame gleaming under the overcast sky. In the cockpit, pilot Grigory Bakhchivandzhi grips the controls. He’s already taken this experimental warbird once before on its maiden flight. Now, it’s time to push it to its limits.
The rocket engine projects the BI forward with a force that slams Bakhchivandzhi back into his seat, shooting faster than even the Luftwaffe’s best could dream of. Continue reading
– Tata Elxsi, a global supplier of design and technology services, and Garuda Aerospace, a pioneering UAV manufacturer, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding at Aero India 2025, Asia’s biggest Airshow, being held from February 10th –14th. This partnership establishes a dedicated UAV design, engineering, and certification center to develop indigenous drone technologies specifically for Indian defence applications, along with agriculture, and smart cities, supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

The UK’s primary provider of air traffic control services, NATS Services, has announced the launch of its whitepaper: ‘Advancing Aviation through Integration of Drones in the UK’s Low-Level Airspace’. The whitepaper outlining key learnings and recommendations from the successful completion of Project CAELUS – part of UKRI’s Future Flight Challenge – represents a critical step towards the safe and efficient integration of drones into the existing air traffic management environment.

In a recent test flight campaign, Airbus demonstrated how its teaming intelligence software can be used to autonomously and dynamically manage a group of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in real time. Thanks to this, operators on the ground or pilots in crewed aircraft can operate multiple UAVs simultaneously, relieving them from tedious tasks such as surveillance and inspection over vast areas and allowing them to focus on mission objectives.
