PowerLight's wireless system could keep military drones flying indefinitely, or be adapted as a directed-energy system for countering drones.

Australia is placing a major order for high tech drones as defence learns the lessons from the Iran and Ukraine wars.

Anti-drone lasers such as the one that led to a shutdown of airspace around El Paso are just one part of the Pentagon’s quest to grow its defenses.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has decided to give carte blanche approval to the military’s use of laser weaponry to shoot down suspected errant drones in US airspace.

The drone, a first-person view system with four rotors, knocks out adversary drones with a direct physical collision. Within drone warfare, a direct physical hit on a drone is called a “hard kill” or kinetic strike. The Bumblebee V2 uses AI targeting recognition paired with human operators to lock onto and strike an adversary drone, Price explains.

Iran is launching deadly drone strikes on U.S. forces and allies in the Middle East. The same weapons have been used for years in Ukraine, where drones have transformed warfare.

With recent developments in military procurement, drones are being sourced and deployed using rather unconventional pathways: Amazon-like digital platforms.

The US-made Merops system, which has logged more than 1,000 interceptions in Ukraine, is deployed to the Middle East.

A U.S. military surveillance drone was tracked flying along Cuba's coast. Similar drones were deployed to military operations in Iran and Venezuela.

Anti-drone lasers such as the one that led to a shutdown of airspace around El Paso are just one part of the Pentagon's quest to grow its defenses.

During the wars in Iran and Ukraine, armies have increasingly relied on so-called "one way attack drones" — inexpensive unmanned devices that fly to their target and explode.
