Drone Shield Could Redefine Poland’s Infrastructure Security When a passenger train halted suddenly after damage to the tracks, it underscored a growing concern: Poland must harden its critical infrastructure against sabotage and evolving threats. The railway line linking Warsaw with Lublin, near the Ukrainian border, was damaged by an explosive device this month. Prime Minister...

On a crisp downtown morning, drones buzzed overhead as Ottawa quietly hosted a defense exercise to evaluate urban drone detection capabilities in a real city environment. Recent Trends Urban CUAS testing expands to city centers Detection-first security models gain traction Public awareness of drone monitoring grows Over Kent, Queen, Sparks and Wellington Streets, teams from...

Drone threats are accelerating faster than many defense programs can adapt. Chaos Industries aims to change that with a networked radar approach that links many small sensors into one actionable picture. The Los Angeles startup is pursuing a big bet on counter UAS radar sensing, a field where latency and coverage determine survivability on future...

Night Drone Intercept Expands Coast Guard Maritime Enforcement A night patrol in the eastern Pacific unfolded like a scene from a techno-thriller. A lithe, high-end drone hovered above the dark swells as the Coast Guard Cutter Stone kept pace below, chasing signals from a suspected drug-running skiff. The moment captured a growing reality: air assets...

An F-22 Raptor stitched a new path for air warfare aloft over Nevada. In a live test out of Nellis Air Force Base, a single-seat fighter pilot used an open cockpit interface to command a second airborne asset. The drill focused on a pilot vehicle interface that translates human intent into drone actions while the...

Electric propulsion is no longer a boutique idea for air taxis and lab demos. The Dubai Airshow backdrop underlines a broader shift: defense programs are increasingly embracing external suppliers to power unmanned systems. In this emerging playbook, commercial battery tech and robust autonomy are being married to combat platforms, a move that could reshape procurement...
