Record-Breaking Drone Show in China: Over 10,000 drones participated in a coordinated aerial display, setting a new world record. The event demonstrated the impressive technical capabilities of drone technology, especially in terms of scale and synchronization. Potential for Weaponization: The large-scale use of drones raises concerns about their potential weaponization. A future scenario could involve 10,000 AI-guided drones carrying bombs, creating a powerful, coordinated airborne attack force. This possibility emphasizes the dual-use nature of drone technology, which can be adapted for both entertainment and warfare. Industry Development: Such large-scale drone shows not only showcase technological advances but also promote growth in related industries like AI, aerospace, and defense. The rapid development in drone-related sectors opens opportunities for innovation but also poses significant ethical and security challenges. #ai #ml

#AI #UnderwaterDrones #MIT #DSCA #DARPA #DIU Drones currently have very little autonomy. They’re typically human-piloted and though some are capable of autopiloting to a fixed GPS point, that’s generally not very useful in a war scenario, where targets are on the move. But, the report’s authors say, autonomous technology is developing rapidly and whichever nation possesses a more sophisticated fleet of autonomous drones will hold a significant edge. Millions of defense #research dollars are being spent in the US and China alike on #swarming , a strategy where drones navigate autonomously in groups and accomplish tasks. The technology isn’t deployed yet, but if successful, it could be a #gamechanger in any potential conflict. A potential future conflict between #Taiwan and China would be shaped by novel methods of drone warfare involving advanced underwater drones and increased levels of autonomy. On Wednesday, June 19, the US approved a $360 million sale of 1,000 military-grade drones to Taiwan.

The primary objective of this project, which is at the intersection of artificial intelligence and military technology, is to equip Ukraine with cutting-edge drone capabilities in its ongoing conflict with Russia and to develop an American alternative to Chinese drones.

Ukraine needs funding to increase drone production – Zelenskyy Ukraine can increase its own production of unmanned aerial vehicles many times over, but does not have the appropriate funds in the state budget and needs funding, says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "Drones are definitely very helpful. This is already helping to save our people, our soldiers, first of all. But we need money to increase our production. We have these capabilities," Zelenskyy said at a press conference within the Crimea Platform in Kyiv on Wednesday. The head of state said he raised this issue at the 24th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which took place at the Ramstein Air Base (Germany). "Today, Ukrainian factories are ready to increase, double our production. Some companies, private companies, they are ready to do everything possible, and produce five times more. They can. They are ready. We have no money. We have no money in our budget to use. Therefore, we ask our partners to help us with financing. This is so important, because we are cheaper and faster," Zelenskyy said. https://lnkd.in/gAPan778

At #ESCRIBANO, we are aware of the importance of having defence systems ready to face the new threat posed by drones. For this reason, we are engaged in both national and European counter-drone programmes, and last week we had the pleasure of participating in an exercise of JEY C-UAS, the European C-UAS programme, where we demonstrated the capabilities of our GUARDIAN 2.0 remote station as a hard kill system.   𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐸𝑢𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝐷𝑒𝑓𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑚𝑒 (𝐸𝐷𝐼𝐷𝑃) 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝐴𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐸𝐷𝐼𝐷𝑃-𝐶𝑈𝐴𝑆-2020-78-𝐽𝐸𝑌-𝐶𝑈𝐴𝑆.

🔥 Fire from Above: The Impact of Ukraine’s Dragon Drones 🔥 On September 7, 2024, Ukrainian authorities unveiled a new chapter in modern warfare with the deployment of “dragon drones.” These innovative drones, which drop thermite—a powerful incendiary mixture of alluminum powder and iron oxide—are changing the dynamics of the battlefield by incinerating vegetation and enemy positions, stripping cover and posing significant threats to Russian troops. Their fiery appearance has earned them the nickname ‘dragon drones,’ evoking images of mythical creatures spewing fire. 🔑 Key Insights: Psychological Warfare: The introduction of dragon drones is likely to have a profound psychological effect on Russian troops. Tactical Shifts: The deployment of these drones is likely altering battle tactics for both sides. International Scrutiny: The use of dragon drones has likely drawn increased scrutinity from the international community. What are your thoughts on the ethical implications of using incendiary drones in warfare? #MilitaryInnovation #WarfareEthics #UkraineConflict #DragonDrones #InternationalRelations

💥 During the war in Ukraine defence-tech companies have been springing up like mushrooms!! As of today over 200 companies have already joined a government created/supported special cluster for tech companies called "DIYA-City" (which offers special conditions for IT companies operations, development and growth): https://lnkd.in/dkMr-tN 👉 Some of the more prominent companies in defence-tech are: Ailand Systems - develops smart drones to territories; Auterion - international company, which creates software software/hardware solutions for automized drones; Sokil Defense System - specializes on developing simulators to train soldiers on how to use granade laucnhers and anti-tank rocket systems; SkyRIPer - develops unmanned systems, in particularly FPV-drones and land-based control stations for those. UADamage - offers a platfom for distance survailance using satelites and drones. 💬 To chat about how these companies can cooperate with you or help your business develop similar solutions - get in touch with us at #OutsourceUkraine
