Early next year, the US Air Force will launch Project Kaiju – a project that will apply AI and machine learning to future cognitive electronic warfare (EW) systems to help aircraft penetrate air defenses that […]
The U.S. Navy and Boeing recently successfully completed the mid-air refueling of a U.S. Navy F-35C Lightning II fighter jet using the MQ-25TM T1 Stingray, an unmanned tanker. “This flight was yet another physical demonstration […]
Raytheon Intelligence & Space (RI&S) has received a contract to build, integrate, and demonstrate prototype sensors for the U.S. Army’s High-Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES). HADES will be a globally deployable platform that provides […]
Northrop Grumman Corporation and Martin UAV have successfully flight tested the V-BAT unmanned aircraft system (UAS) – a part of the U.S. Army’s Future Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (FTUAS) program. FTUAS seeks to replace the […]
L3Harris Technologies’ Airborne Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare System aircraft (ARES) recently completed its maiden flight after six months of modifications. ARES was designed to serve as a technology demonstrator for the Army’s High Accuracy Detection […]
The U.S. Air Force has contracted with Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems to build target drones with the ability to perform as high-fidelity enemy threat surrogates, simulating the characteristics of aircraft and missiles. The drones feature […]
The Physical Science Laboratory at New Mexico State University partnered with Stratodynamics and UAVOS to perform a series of stratospheric flights with HiDRON, an autonomous aircraft. The objective of the tests was to advance new […]
Researchers at the US Air Force Research Lab have invented a flapping-wing micro aircraft vehicle – or MAV – based on the biomechanical movement of flying birds and insects. It is intended to be used […]
The Marine Corps recently held a simulation training event called ‘COPE JAVELIN.’ The simulation followed a fictional operational scenario involving marine aviators from various units using flight simulators for different aircraft. They connected across different […]
