Fraunhofer Institute UAS Swarm in 3D
They can be deployed as additional surveillance resources during major events, or as high-resolution 3D street imaging systems. Intelligent swarms of aerial drones are a universally useful tool for police, crisis managers and urban planners. Special 3D sensors developed by Fraunhofer researchers ensure flawless aerobatics and prevent collisions. Continue reading

Seattle Police Department Gets Draganflyer
The Seattle Police Department recently demonstrated how it’s newly acquired unmanned aircraft hovers and flies in a warehouse where police vehicles are stored. Continue reading
North American X-10 Test Flight
The North American X-10 (model RTV-A-5) was an unmanned technology demonstrator for advanced missile technologies during the 1950s. Continue reading
AirMule to Fly with New Hydraulics
Urban Aeronautics will soon perform the first flight of an AirMule ducted fan unmanned aircraft system fitted with a double-redundant hydraulic system. Continue reading
MAV Swarm For Search and Rescue Operations
Within the framework of the EU project sFly, researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new type of flying robot that can be navigated using only on-board cameras and a miniature computer. The micro helicopters require neither GPS nor remote control, thus reaching a new level of autonomy. Continue reading
DARPA HTV-2 – Aeroshell Degradation Caused Flight Termination
An unexpected degree of aero-shell degradation was “the most probable cause” of the premature flight termination of DARPA’s Hypersonic Technology Vehicle during a flight over the Pacific Ocean last August, according to the findings of the agency’s independent engineering review board.
