Franceâs Defense Ministry developing bird-like stealth drone
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: drones, surveillance
Researchers supported by Franceâs Defense Ministry are working to develop a more effective surveillance drone thatâs also less prone to detection by its imitation of birds or insects.
In this case, that involved learning how winged creatures of nature might allow data-collecting UAVs to do their work without being seen, or be identified if they are.

Skydio wins US Armyâs $100 million small drone recon contract
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: drones, robotics/AI
Drone manufacturer and automated flight specialist Skydio says it has won a contract to supply its X2D UAVs to the US Armyâs Short-Range Reconnaissance Program (SRR). Valued at $20.2 million annually, the fixed-price provisionment agreement is expected to be worth $99.8 million over its five-year duration.
The fact that the final decision looked closely at feedback from soldiers themselves on overall product performance and quality, meanwhile, is an indicator that the companyâs UAVs impressed people from the boots on the ground all the way up to the top brass. The pitch for the contract involved 30 small-scale drone manufacturers, from which Skydioâs craft was judged the most ready to fulfill the US Armyâs SRR operational requirements from day one.

Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: drones, mapping, robotics/AI, surveillance
The U.S. Army has awarded a $20 million a year contract to a California-based drone manufacturer, named Skydio, as part of its efforts to move away from foreign-made and commercially available off-the-shelf drones. Skydio revealed in a press release that it would supply its X2D drones for the U.S. Armyâs Short Range Reconnaissance (SSR) Program.
With an aim to equip its soldiers with rapidly deployable aerial solutions that can conduct reconnaissance and surveillance activities over short ranges, the Armyâs SSR program has been considering small drones for some time now. More than 30 vendors submitted their proposals to the Army, and five finalists were shortlisted for rigorous testing.
