Raven Tech's system combines detection, autonomous flight, and net-based capture to neutralize unauthorized drones. Once an intruder is detected, the system deploys a drone to intercept and safely transport the rogue drone to a designated location.

The unmistakable V-formation geese adopt in flight is more than a cool aerial trick. The entire flock benefits from upward air flowing off the lead bird's wings, whose fellow fliers then get to save energy, especially on long journeys.

The outage left millions of Starlink customers in the dark back in August of 2025, dealing a blow to the company's image as an always-on satellite internet provider.

Chef Robotics has passed an important milestone: 100 million servings, defined as a portion of food that our robots deposit into a meal tray.

Tamara Hancock tested the delivery of a fragile item by ordering blue raspberry syrup, which was dropped from 10 feet. The result was a broken bottle, highlighting concerns about fragile deliveries.

The Office of Management and Budget unveiled the completed 2025 Federal Agency Artificial Intelligence Use Case Inventory, documenting 3,611 individual use cases across 56 submitting agencies. This represents a 105% increase from 2024's reported use cases, which came in at 1,757.

"You've been training for this," the ad says, emphasizing the connection between gaming skills and the requirements of air traffic control, which include quick decision-making and technical expertise.

Bayer is supplementing human security patrols around its 8,000 acre Hawaiian corn farm with robotic security dogs, supplied by the tech firm Asylon. The Asylon dogs are meant to guard the company's precious maize from vandals, wildfires, wild fauna, and other hazards around the clock.

Chef Robotics has recently reached a remarkable milestone by completing 100 million servings in production, underscoring the company's commitment to innovation and the importance of automation in food manufacturing.

The proposal would allow drones to apply products already registered for aerial use, provided applications follow existing label requirements, including water volumes and use conditions.

It can drive through the field and look at every square inch. We really honed our craft on model performance and detection with rocks, and now we've transitioned that into weeds. The robot uses a boom-mounted camera system to capture detailed imagery across the field. With eight cameras operating at 1 millimetre resolution, TerraScout can generate billions of data points per acre, allowing it to identify specific objects, including individual weeds.

Hydrogen-powered unmanned aerial vehicles are not a new concept. Drones running on hydrogen fuel have been in experimental forms for over a decade, but this is for the first time, a drone has been fully designed and deployed on full-scale combat duty in an active war zone. The drone is a hybrid version of the Raybird USA developed by Skyeton and is deployed with the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

"We were completely controlling the drone from the helicopter. For us, it's of course unique. Today, what we performed is a world first," Gerin-Roze told reporters on Thursday at the Singapore Airshow. The software is part of Airbus' contribution to the surging industry for drone wingmen, which the world's biggest aircraft manufacturers are betting will be the future of air warfare.

Today's models are compact, increasingly affordable and capable of capturing sharp aerial photos and video with minimal effort. Whether you're curious about flying for the first time or looking to upgrade to a more advanced camera drone, the options available in 2026 are broader and more approachable than ever.Entry-level drones now offer features like GPS-assisted flight, return-to-home safety systems and automated shooting modes that take much of the stress out of learning to fly.

is a drone engineered to autonomously seek out, hack, and wirelessly take over other drones within wifi distance, creating an army of zombie drones under your control.

Facing an existential crisis, the Ukrainians had to develop a way to counter hostile forces cheaply yet with mass. That meant figuring out how to turn inexpensive drones into weaponry, a step that quickly and fundamentally changed how the war was being fought. Now, drones carry out 80% of all battlefield hits and are responsible for most combat casualties.

This flight test showcases the potential of airpower built on mission autonomy. Across platforms, domains, and environments, Hivemind provides resilient mission autonomy, proving that software is central to the future of airpower. Our collaboration with Anduril reflects a new era of defense acquisition, where autonomy is treated as a foundational warfighting capability on par with the aircraft itself.
