Ukraine is the first country in the world to establish the Unmanned Systems Forces: an entirely new branch of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which includes the use of aerial, naval surface and underwater, as well as ground-based unmanned and robotic systems. The full-scale war has confirmed that UAVs, loitering munitions, and naval drones can become one of the game changers that bring us closer to victory. They enable us to conduct military operations, monitor the enemy, and destroy them without endangering the most important asset in the country – our people. We are proud that "Furia" has been proving this effectively since 2014. We, in turn, are not standing still and are already preparing new surprises for the enemy. #UAS #UAV #AthlonAvia #Furia #unmannedsystems #drones

The unmanned aerial system should fall under Group 4 or 5 (more than 1,320 pounds), or the same category as the MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1C Gray Eagle. It must be able to perform precision strike, surveillance, reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, and command-and-control missions. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #usarmy #drone #drones #uas #uav #aviation #militaryaviation #aerospace

On Sunday, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) unveiled the modernization of its aerial division, showcasing Turkish we*aponry, including drones, in commemoration of the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Father of the Nation. A two-and-a-half-minute documentary titled "Pakistan Air Force on the Path to Modernization" featured the Akıncı and Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), as well as JF-17 Block III and J-10C military jets, recently incorporated into its arsenal this year. The JF fighter aircraft series is a collaborative effort between Pakistan and China. In a statement, the Pakistan Air Force emphasized that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah played a crucial role in uniting oppressed Muslims and guiding them towards the establishment of a separate and independent homeland. The video underscored the tireless efforts of Jinnah, stating that the nation breathes in a free state today due to his visionary leadership. Earlier in the year, Pakistan's secretary for defense production, Humayun Aziz, mentioned that Turkey and Pakistan would enhance their collaboration, particularly in the fields of unmanned aerial vehicles and advanced fighters. Aziz highlighted the progress in submarines and shipbuilding and mentioned ongoing joint projects in small arms and other military endeavors. #Pakistan #Air #Force #Turkey #Drones #Fleet

#China is actively testing the #stealth #GJ11 flying-wing unmanned combat aircraft (#UCAV). At least two #GJ11drones frequently fly over #Xinjiang at Malan Air Force Base. Malan base has long been an important hub for drone testing by China. The main mission of the "HJ11" drone is #strikeoperations. It has two internal #bomb compartments that can carry ammunition. It also has intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (#ISR) functions. In addition, relevant photos show that the aircraft is also capable of launching #baitbombs and conducting #electronicwarfare, demonstrating its diversified combat potential. It is generally believed that the #UAV will form a coordinated combat formation with the #stealth fighter #J20 of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (#PLA) in the future to improve overall combat effectiveness. Since 2019, China has also been actively developing an embarked version of the drone, which could be deployed on aircraft carriers and large amphibious assault ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy in the future to further expand its combat capabilities.

QinetiQ has successfully trialled the UK’s first Crewed-Uncrewed-Teaming demonstration between a crewed aircraft and an autonomous jet drone. The trial – which took place in collaboration with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), the Royal Navy and the Air and Space Warfare Centre (ASWC) – saw a QinetiQ jet aircraft take off from Ministry of Defence (MOD) site Boscombe Down in Salisbury, while a modified Banshee Jet 80 drone was launched from the MOD Hebrides range, off the north-west coast of Scotland. Flying from Boscombe to the Hebrides, the aircraft soon gained control of the Banshee, with the drone receiving its orders from the aircraft before automatically conducting the mission assignment, flying at 350 knots. Alan Hart, Managing Director Science & Technology, QinetiQ said: “This transformative trial is a great example of collaboration and technology leadership in aviation defence capability, as we seek to meet the ever-changing requirements of those on the front line. It represents a significant advance in developing technologies that will allow uncrewed systems to operate seamlessly with current aircraft, providing the basis for air operations for the next twenty years.” Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dUYM3AkA #QinetiQ #UK #drone #defence #military #industry #technology
