Video footage of Marines flying a Neros Archer from a helicopter.

• Around 1:16 left in the video is the drone drop from the helicopter.

Last time we only had images of this.

Link contains a video replay of the hearing and written testimony from Emil Michael, Owen West, and Cameron Stanley.

"Composability: the ability to rapidly integrate best-in-class systems into a unified, mission-ready capability on demand."

• The post has a video, which goes over the "composable aerial kill web built in real time by Sea Machines Robotics, HavocAI, Reveal Technology, Echodyne, Red Cat Holdings, CX2, Gambit AI, XTEND, and Skydio."

For some background see this comment from u/RandomGenerator_1.

On the Upgrade Energy engineering website one of their custom battery projects is with Skydweller Aero, who aims to achieve perpetual flight.

• Their drone participated in the "U.S. Navy’s Fleet Exercise (FLEX) 26, Skydweller Aero’s operational prototype aircraft conducted a historic 8-day (192-hour) and 14-minute autonomous maritime patrol flight."

On top of this:

• "Skydweller Aero, in partnership with Nokia Federal Solutions and Tangram Flex, has been awarded a U.S. Air Force contract to demonstrate a rapidly deployable airborne private network — essentially a flying 5G cell tower. The technology could provide flexible communication for military and commercial operations."

Ride at dawn and be a part of history.

"The Army, in support of CPE Mission Autonomy, is seeking innovative industry partners to expand the Purpose-Built Attritable Systems (PBAS) program. We are issuing an RFI for existing or emerging Group 1 and Group 2 sUAS (up to 55 lbs) to serve as a family of systems to include larger "bomber" variants."

"Short-Range Reconnaissance (SRR). The SRR program (see Figure 1) is the Army’s first program of record for a small quadcopter drone for Army platoons. The Army’s requirements are for a drone that weighs less than 5 pounds and is able to fly for 30 minutes. The Army’s current selections for the SRR system are the Skydio X10D and the Teal Drones’ Black Widow."

More details on the mothership. Also some video footage from the 101st Airborne Division.

Recent purchase order:

• "The order includes core components used across both counter-UAS interceptor systems and 10-inch class drones, reflecting growing demand for flexible, domestically produced platforms that can be deployed across multiple mission sets."
