In the coming years, immersive VR features are moving from gaming rigs to real world operations, redefining how pilots train, planners assess risk, and operators scale complex flight tasks. Recent Trends Growing use of VR for training and inspection in civil drone programs AI-assisted flight planning and safety checks integrated with VR interfaces Regional leadership...

Walmart drone delivery in the real world The first rule of a real-world drone trial is simple: test it where people live, shop, and expect convenience. In a recent display organized around Walmart’s drone delivery pilot, suburban neighborhoods became a proving ground for a service many retailers hope to scale. The test focuses on delivering...

Last-mile packages took a surprising detour into the sky last week as Walmart rolled out a live drone pilot in a real neighborhood. The scene was practical, not a staged trade show, and it offered a tangible glimpse into how autonomous fleets could reshape how consumers receive everyday goods. The drone buzzed along a quiet...

A glossy sequence of photos circulating this week shows a compact drone gliding beside a stealthy twin‑engine jet, hinting at a future where uncrewed wings ride along with crewed platforms. The drone profile is small, with a clean wing shape and sensors mounted along the fuselage. The images, shared by Biztoc and traced to coverage...

A drone lifts off into a clear blue sky, and the network behind it suddenly looks different. In a milestone demonstration, Skydio and Globalstar validated a new kind of connectivity for airborne missions, pairing Skydio’s X10 with Globalstar Band n53 and the XCOM RAN private 5G platform. Recent Trends Private 5G networks expand drone operations...

Dubai is testing a maintenance ally that flies instead of climbs. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is piloting drone-based cleaning of traffic signal faces, a move that aligns with the city’s push to digitize and modernize essential services. The idea is simple: use autonomous aerial devices to wipe away dust and grime, keeping lights...

Imagine a drone that stays aloft 45 percent longer on a single charge. A new silicon-rich anode design from Solidion Technology targets higher energy density without inflating safety risks or manufacturing costs. The approach embeds silicon within a flexible, protective matrix to fit the familiar lithium-ion architecture, aiming to unlock longer flight times for industrial...

In a world where a single drone can scan vast areas in minutes, cracking complex imagery quickly becomes a matter of life and safety. Safe Pro Group has filed a patent for an AI-powered computer vision algorithm designed to rapidly detect small explosive threats in drone video and imagery. This approach aims to dramatically improve...

Drone technology is quietly reshaping how governments think about security, farming, and city life. It is no longer a novelty; drones now enable faster data collection, lower costs, and smarter decision making across sectors. Recent Trends Growing use of drones in agriculture for crop health and water mapping Drones as cost-effective tools for border surveillance...

A single smartphone can feel like a cockpit for today’s consumer drones, turning basic flights into cinematic stories. The DJI Fly App sits at the center of that experience, guiding pilots from setup to shot with a touch of a finger. Recent Trends Growing demand for mobile-first drone control In-app flight tools boost safety and...
