Ukrainian Company, Terminal Autonomy, has developed very cheap war drones capable of aiming at strategic far targets. These drones are intended to be used in thousands simuoultaneously at total cost much less that missiles or warjets. By using a massive presence of cheap small drones, it is assured that targets are hit as mosquitos atack big animals. It is a paradigmatic change: no precission, overhelming atacks.
Two cities in North Texas have recently taken steps to pave the way for Walmart to continue to expand its drone delivery operations across the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area.
The city of North Richland Hills, about 14 miles east of Fort Worth, late last month approved drone take-off and landing spots at two Walmart store locations. On February 26, the City Council of Plano, about 20 miles north of Dallas, approved a change to the city’s zoning ordinance, regulating drone delivery hubs as a new land-use category.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) is joining forces with the Commercial Drone Alliance (CDA) so that beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations in the US can scale up safely.
The world of military drones continues to evolve, with advancements in technology pushing the boundaries of size and capability.
In this article, we will explore the fascinating realm of the largest military drones, delving into their key specifications, operational capabilities, and their impact on modern warfare.
n a 2018 research report by the Brookings Institution, Darrell West and John Allen wrote that, “Despite its widespread lack of familiarity, AI is a technology that is transforming every walk of life.” If five years ago AI, the idea of which dates back to the previous century, was already transforming “every walk of life,” then today this transformation can be felt in our daily routines more than ever.
The growing use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the defense and security industry for several applications such as surveying, mapping, transportation, combat operations, and monitoring will fuel the demand for military UAVs in the coming years. The rise in defense expenditure of various countries to procure modernized & technologically advanced military drones/UAVs for intensified combat capability is expected to support the global market growth.
In a recent development that could have far-reaching implications for commercial drone businesses, the non-profit Institute for Justice (IJ) presented oral arguments in a First Amendment case in North Carolina. The case centers around a challenge to a North Carolina restriction on the creation of aerial maps, with serious potential consequences for commercial drone operators in the state.
