Sesame Solar, Target Arm and AG3 Labs are launching the Persistent Drone Operations Nanogrid, the first integrated solution that combines Sesame Solar’s self-generating mobile power, Target Arm’s robotic arm and drone magazines for autonomous drone launch-and-recovery, and AG3 Labs’ attritable, unmanned aircraft into a single system for training and forward expeditionary use.
Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, has introduced the Nomad 100 fast pack, a containerized vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial system (UAS) kit designed to help customers rapidly deploy autonomous air capability from austere and infrastructure-limited locations.
Auterion has introduced the Nemyx Vertical Launch System (Nemyx VLS), a modular launcher for drones from multiple manufacturers. It extends Nemyx, the Auterion swarm engine, from software into the hardware that puts drones in the air. The same launcher takes high-volume commercial drones, strike drones and interceptors.

Rheinmetall has successfully launched its FV-014 loitering munition system from the Containerized Missile Launcher, a modular multi launcher for guided missiles and loitering munitions. Both the Containerized Missile Launcher and the FV-014 loitering munition system are in-house developments. Continue reading
A partnership between two US firms is creating a mobile autonomous platform that allows drones to launch, recover, and continue operating without stopping or requiring human intervention. Continue reading
Tesseract Ventures announced its selection by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to advance in the Containerized Autonomous Drone Delivery System (CADDS) prototype project. This highly competitive initiative aims to accelerate next-generation autonomous capabilities for rapidly deploying, sustaining, and managing unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in contested and austere environments.
