General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) has unveiled its latest jet-powered drone, the Gambit, which uses artificial intelligence and autonomous systems to fly alongside human-led fighters and gain air superiority.
As an example of the increase in warfighting capabilities, the Pentagon has helped develop technology that allows a single person to control 130 drones for military operations.
When we talk about state-purpose aviation and operations, we mean all aviation activities serving a state institution and aimed at a well-defined task carried out in the interest of the state. They can be very wide ranging and can range from surveillance to site security.
Intruding aircraft are not only detected by Dedrone’s equipment, the company also offers a weapon to disable drones. There are more and more drones in the world’s skies, but who can use these fast and often very small devices and for what purpose is often either not strictly regulated, or the regulations include elements that are not really respected by people and not really controlled by anyone.
A team of researchers at the University of Cambridge has developed a solution to help air traffic controllers determine whether a drone is about to fly into a restricted area, based on surveillance data and algorithmic estimates. The technology can also be used to control robots and self-driving cars.
In dense, “noisy” environments, autonomous flying devices have so far only been able to navigate safely with caution. But a new development has shown that this is no longer a problem.
