Hidden beneath tarpaulins, an uncommon sight at Chinese shipyards, a new trimaran-hulled vessel appears to combine features of both surface ships and submarines. Satellite imagery suggests it may be uncrewed, designed for high-speed operations. Though its purpose remains unknown, the project reflects the accelerating pace and growing sophistication of China’s naval innovation. Continue reading
– ZE Government Solutions (ZEGS), a wholly owned subsidiary of AI-based gun detection leader ZeroEyes, has launched ZeroEyes Aerial Detection Kit (ZAD), a portable, drone-based AI threat detection and intelligent situational awareness solution designed for public safety agencies. Continue reading
Chinese drones battle skyscraper fires. The drones soared to the rescue in a recent drill in Shenzhen, China, reaching insane heights beyond the reach of fire trucks. Continue reading
Originally developed by the German drone manufacturer Quantum Systems as a long-range reconnaissance drone, the Reliant is apparently being developed into a drone carrier. This is at least suggested by an exhibit from Quantum Systems (QS) at the AUSA trade fair currently taking place in Washington. Continue reading
– Redwire Corporation has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Edge Autonomy, has partnered with Red Cat , a U.S.-based provider of advanced all-domain drone and robotic solutions for defence and national security. Together, the companies will integrate Red Cat’s Teal Drones Black Widow — a compact, small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) quadcopter — with Edge Autonomy’s Stalker, a Group 2 fixed-wing VTOL UAS, to support U.S. Army echelon missions requiring advanced surveillance, reconnaissance, and situational awareness.
