Modern fighter pilot training necessitates advanced target drones capable of rapid ascent, descent, loitering, and extreme manoeuvrability, thus mirroring the agility of F35s and future aircraft. These target drones must take off and land autonomously, requiring minimal ground crew and training. Such innovation optimizes training realism and readiness, crucial for honing pilot skills in dynamic operational scenarios. Traditional target drones must be recovered by parachute when the sortie does not go according to plan. In the majority of cases drones are damaged and require repair. In contrast, our Razor will simply land and be ready for re-launch within minutes. RAZOR will be the fastest, smallest, most powerful turbine-powered, AI-driven autonomous VTOL the world has ever seen. 🟠Low Cost 🟠Speed Range 0-500mph 🟠Mimics Helicopters and Jet Fighters 🟠High Payload Allows for Accessory Components 🟠Simple Launch & Recovery (No Catapult) 🟠Auto Abort/Landing Without a Parachute Find out more about the RAZOR target drone UAV 👉 maymanaerospace.com #RAZORaircraft #VTOL #VTOLaircraft #DroneWar #DroneSwarm #MilitaryDrones #DefenseDrones

🚨Read the full thread. -the comments speak toward the number of systems required to create “mass” in the Newtonian sense of the military metaphor -that’s a commitment to change at all levels. Still requires an exploitation force to take and hold ground. “The recipe for a breakthrough is extremely simple. Increase the number of FPV drones by 4 times and concentrate them on a small area of the front.” -full thread, “QUICK TAKE on the Russian thoughts abut the role of FPV drones and what is needed (by either side) for a breakthrough) at the front: "The number of drones on the frontline is growing exponentially. Up to a dozen “birds”(FPVs) can now strike one vehicle, and 2-3 drones can chase after a single soldier." Here: https://lnkd.in/eXVE2XGy Via: Samuel Bendett

The Future of Electronic Warfare: FPV Drones As technology continues to evolve, the importance of high-speed, maneuverable FPV (First-Person View) drones in electronic warfare cannot be overstated. I firmly believe that these drones will play a crucial role in the battlefield of tomorrow. While autonomous drones are vital, offering low-cost solutions and scalability, there will always be situations where the human touch—through piloted FPV drones—is irreplaceable. The unique agility, real-time responsiveness, and precision control offered by FPV drones make them indispensable in dynamic and unpredictable environments. U.S. companies that recognize and invest in this mix of autonomous and piloted drone systems will be at the forefront of modern warfare and defense strategies. The future is in the air, and it's time to accelerate our capabilities. #FPVDrones #ElectronicWarfare #AutonomousSystems #Innovation #DefenseTechnology

S400 drones for Electrical Inspections What is Inspection Drones in Electric Power? In the realm of electric power, the utilization of inspection drones has been a transformative development in enhancing the efficiency and safety of power infrastructure maintenance. These unmanned aerial vehicles enable swift and thorough inspections of power lines, transformers, and other critical components, reducing the need for costly manual labor and minimizing the risk of accidents or downtime. https://lnkd.in/eD6tuX7G #DroneInspection #UAVInspection #StructuralInspection #DroneDataCollection #InfrastructureAssessment #noGNSS #realtimedata #BridgeDefects #DroneTechnology #EnvironmentalMonitoring #aviation #aerospaceindustry #avionics

Keeping drones and other autonomous tech safe and on-task by Martin SFP Bryant, Founder of PreSeed Now. Key insights include: 👉 SAIF Systems aims to ensure drones and other autonomous systems remain safe, reliable, and on-task, even in complex, disconnected environments. 👉 Use cases span delivery and inspection drones to defense, where UAVs must navigate sensitive environments without posing risks to civilians or breaching restricted zones. 👉 Co-founders Kyle Thomas (former RAF pilot) and Matthew Harris (control systems engineer) previously collaborated on autonomous aircraft challenges for the RAF, sparking SAIF’s founding.

Autonomous military drones. AI target identification is being used increasingly since "You cannot jam such a drone, because there is nothing to jam," As a supplement to your posts Adrienne Fichter and Daniel Stauffacher on the subject, which are well worth reading.

🛩We are seeing a proliferation of #drones and robots in theatres of operation. How can we get operators to manage not just one drones, but dozens of drones at the same time? 🎥 Discover with Florence Aligne, Head of the Decision and Optimisation Laboratory at Thales, how #AI-powered management is changing military operations and capacities.
