JetPack Aviation’s Post

Only two decades ago, air arms were beginning to explore the possibilities of connectivity. Although primitive, radio-frequency datalinks had been in use since the 1960s, but satellite communications promised the ability to move large packets of data, including still images and, ultimately, streaming video. Ten years ago, those possibilities had become reality and today we pay little heed to the technological advances that allow a crew to operate their aircraft remotely in a warzone thousands of miles away while a sperate link provides near-real time streaming video to commanders. Now a new era in battlespace connectivity is dawning. Connected systems in the air, on the ground, at sea, and in space, from satellites, through aircraft carriers to individual soldiers, will soon be operating on integrated networks. Technologies, including AI, will become increasingly important over the battlefield, enabling the ability to automatically analyze and respond to complex threats. It is into this world that our jet-powered Speeder high-speed VTOL Air Utility Vehicle will emerge. We started out developing Speeder as a platform for cargo or people, but today we realize it is so much more. Capable of taking off vertically on the forward edge of battle, Speeder accelerates rapidly to jet speed; depending on configuration, it is affordable, attritable, and easily deployed en masse. Now consider a ‘swarm’ of AI-alerted, countermeasures-equipped Speeders, emerging from nowhere and engaging at 400kt or more, saturating defenses and keeping crewed aircraft out of harm’s way. We’re still developing Speeder as a platform, but now we know it’s for mission sets impossible just 20 years ago.   #Speeder #DavidMayman #VTOL #HSVTOL #Military #MaymanAerospace #aviation #aircraft #UAS #rpas #Aerospace #Defense #battlefieldmanagementsystems #AInavigation #counterUAS

UAVs have rewritten the rules for military, intelligence, and other roles many times. They’re doing new things daily in all corners of the globe. But no amount of technical innovation can wave away the laws of physics. Learn why aircraft size matters: https://ow.ly/ye0G50QzPVJ

Dehydrate or use SKYDRATE? The choice is yours. SKYDRATE is an In-Flight Bladder Relief System designed to keep pilots safe and eliminate any need for tactical dehydration which impairs their cognitive performance and ability to withstand G-force. "We now realize we need to enable our pilots with a system so that they do not have to cheat their bodies anymore. We now really do realize that hydration is key and that a system like SKYDRATE allows us to relieve ourselves is the second part of that equation." - Billie Flynn (Fighter Pilot) SKYDRATE is the only Certified Safe-To-Fly In-flight bladder relief device. "I'm a pilot and I am doing this so that pilots are safe,." - Mark Harvie (Pilot, Engineer, Founder of Omni Defense Tech) Omni Defense Tech is the leader in innovation for In-flight bladder relief systems. Omni is fielding SKYDRATE: a safe, non-invasive, hands-off, automatic, leak proof system designed to accommodate the full spectrum of male and female physiques. Omni is constantly innovating and improving technology to ELEVATE HUMAN PERFORMANCE.

Reaching new heights in connectivity, the integration of our StreamCaster radios with Aerostar's Stratospheric platforms is enabling mission-critical operations that were once thought impossible. The synergy between these technologies is not just enhancing capabilities but is shaping the future of tactical edge communication.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has announced the production of its first EagleEye multi-mode radar, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the U.S. Army’s Gray Eagle Extended Range Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Integrated into the Gray Eagle 25M UAS, the EagleEye radar is set to enhance target detection and surveillance across diverse operational environments. This advanced radar system provides high-resolution imagery under various atmospheric conditions, significantly improving the effectiveness of reconnaissance and surveillance missions. Featuring cutting-edge technologies such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), EagleEye can generate detailed images of terrain and targets, even in challenging conditions like clouds, rain, or dust. In addition to its superior visualization capabilities, EagleEye supports multi-mode functionalities essential for Multi-Domain Operations (MDO), a key focus for the U.S. Army. Equipped with features like Moving Target Indication (MTI) and Maritime Wide Area Search (MWAS), it enables real-time tracking of both ground and maritime targets, enhancing situational awareness and coordination among ground, air, and maritime forces. One of the standout innovations of the EagleEye radar is its integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) software. These technologies facilitate real-time analysis of radar data, aiding in target identification and classification. As a result, operators can make quicker and more informed decisions, which is crucial in dynamic and uncertain combat scenarios. The incorporation of AI and machine learning in military radar systems exemplifies the technological advancements transforming modern military operations, ensuring that armed forces remain effective and responsive in the face of evolving challenges. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #pilots #AI #artificialintelligence #machinelearning

UpVision, a division of CSG Aerospace, represents the Czech Republic in the NATO Science and Technology Working Group (NATO STO), led by Sweden and the US, which aims to unify the approaches of participating NATO countries and propose a framework for the development of effective interfaces between humans and cooperating robots for their systemic deployment on the modern battlefield. As Stepan Alexa, CEO of UpVision, explains, this is a fundamental shift in the way humans and autonomous systems work together. The first demonstration of the Grille 9X-02 medivac system from the German company AVILUS for NATO was successfully conducted during a working group workshop at the Bundeswehr airbase. The company develops unmanned medivac systems for the Bundeswehr. #czechoslovakgroup #csgaerospace #aviation #aerospace
