Lantronix's AI solution powers Teal Drones for U.S. Army's SRR Program

Since the launch of the “Army of Drones” bonus programme, known as E-points, military units have placed orders for drones and electronic warfare systems totalling more than 1 billion hryvnias, Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov reported. In total, the military has ordered 22,000 FPV drones, bombers, reconnaissance UAVs and electronic warfare systems through the BRAVE1 marketplace. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d7F8YM7m

For three decades, BELSS has been building and strengthening engineering expertise in Latvia’s defense industry. 💪🏼 This competence has become the foundation of our group company ERASER, specializing in the production of military and civilian drones. Inherited knowledge and close cooperation with end users allow us to create and rapidly adapt solutions that provide an advantage on today’s battlefield. This way, we ensure that innovations become real support for the Armed Forces while strengthening Latvia’s security. What is needed to fully integrate drone capabilities in Latvia? Edgars Gauručs, CEO of ERASER, shares his insights. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dRHfQj9e #BELSS #ERASER #Engineering #Innovation #Defence #Drones

Russian DefMin Belousov at the latest Military Commission meeting: "Starting this September, three military academies will begin training military personnel in 11 new specialties, including in the use of UAVs and robotic systems. We have significantly increased the volume of deliveries of tactical UAVs to the troops. This has certainly had a positive impact on the course of military operations. It is necessary to complete the work on creating an effective system for providing UAV troops with logistics and repairs. It is also necessary to increase the pace of training UAV operator crews and speed up the implementation of the necessary organizational and staffing measures. We have supplied the troop groups with effective electronic warfare systems, including "trench" (tactical) ones. The next key point is increasing the speed of movement of tactical groups. This year, 22,725 motorcycles, quad bikes and buggies have been delivered. By the end of the year, the plan is to transfer 12,186 more to the troops. Next, the most important point in conducting combat operations is increasing awareness at the tactical level. Since last year, we are working on the "Svod" system. In September-November, we will conduct its experimental combat testing. Then we will begin scaling the system to all troop groupings." https://lnkd.in/eHW2s2YA

The Navy is accelerating its unmanned future, awarding key contracts to major defense contractors to develop Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) drones. This move is part of a larger Pentagon push to rapidly integrate autonomous systems to augment manned fleets and minimize risk to personnel. The article dives into how these "loyal wingmen" will be a game-changer for naval aviation and defense. #Navy #Defense #Drones #UnmannedSystems #Aerospace #Military #DefenseContracts #Innovation https://lnkd.in/gR9JMaz5

The Army has released a solicitation calling for "low-cost drones made by America's world-leading engineers and AI experts" with capabilities including reconnaissance, electronic warfare, communication relay and strike. These UAS's are being aimed at integration in Army exercises and scaling to every Army division and multi-domain task force. The Army plans to use a challenge-based OTA sourcing model to select solutions with responses being due on August 20. Learn more here: https://ow.ly/6QWX30sP0ua

Royal Navy surveillance and logistics missions will be made a little easier now two separate uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) have been formally declared ready for operational use. Following two years of trials and development, Malloy T-150 UAS heavy-lift drones have been certified as ready for front-line operations — or “ready to Release to Service” in the technical parlance. The heavy-lift drone’s manufacturer Malloy Aeronautics Ltd. is linked to BAE Systems’ FalconWorks arm. Royal Marines and the Royal Navy’s drone operators from 700X Naval Air Squadron and Commando Logistic Regiment have been putting the T-150s through their paces across eight months via a series of tests and exercises held in conditions ranging from Arctic cold to sub-tropical heat. #defence #RoyalNavy #uncrewed #drones #UAS #autonomy #RoyalMarines #logistics #NavyLeaders Read more here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eFt7Gj_k

Tethered UAV Systems Use Cases When every second counts, tethered UAV systems deliver a decisive advantage.

As part of its ongoing effort to master land autonomy, the US Army recently selected Forterra, Overland AI, and Scout AI to integrate their respective autonomy solutions into the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV). This initiative will serve as a crucial testbed for solving some of the most difficult navigational challenges in land warfare: cluttered terrain, narrow passages, dense foliage, and unpredictable obstacles. Successfully navigating this frontier, however, requires more than technological breakthroughs. The challenge for innovators is not just technical. As systems take on greater responsibility, building stakeholder trust becomes paramount. Only then can innovation translate into widespread adoption and operational impact. At Polemos Advisors, our mission is to help defense innovators overcome such hurdles by creating the frameworks for governance and strategic communications which are essential for turning groundbreaking capabilities into widely adopted and responsibly used assets. ✴️ Visit our website to learn more about our work: https://lnkd.in/gzRm-eB2 ✴️ Media report on ISV contracts: https://lnkd.in/esbwA7c2 #LandAutonomy #USArmy #DefenseTech #MilitaryAI #Innovation #VentureCapital
