Last year the Iraqi military took delivery of three Chinese CH-4 Cai Hong drones, an aircraft that, according to its creators, is better than the American MQ-1B Predator. That claim is now being put to the test as the drones carry out strikes against ISIS with bombs and laser-guided missiles. The CH-4s are flying from Al-Hayy airbase in support […]
Army Apaches are using a new technology in Afghanistan which enables the attack helicopter crews to view real-time video feeds from nearby drones, control the drones’ flight path and therefore more effectively destroy enemy targets, service officials told Scout Warrior. Manned-Unmanned Teaming, or MUM-T, gives AH-64E Apache attack helicopters an ability to control the flight path and sensor payload of Army […]

I’m at the age that views 3-D printing as one part awesome, incredible technology, and another part pure sorcery. Obviously the pure sorcery thing is just because I don’t fully grasp the concept yet, but either way this is pretty cool. A 3-D printed nylon attachment is assisting the Global Vigilance Combined Test Force (CTF) […]
More and more drones are invading the battlefield, but they tend to feed information up the chain of command rather than helping the footsoldier. That’s true for even the smallest U.S. Army drone, the hand-launched RQ-11 Raven. Now the infantry is about to get a new friend to help them see what’s around the corner or […]
Airline pilots need to cool their jets about banning drones in their airspace, a former National Transportation Safety Board member said Saturday. “We’ve been flying into birds for how long?” former NTSB member John Goglia asked at a conference of drone enthusiasts gathered in Queens. Goglia told them it took more than one goose to […]
It was the early 1990s, the Soviet Union had collapsed, and the Gulf War had recently ended. The military was scrambling to justify manpower, means, and technology to a Democratic Congress and the Clinton administration, which foolishly saw to cuts in defense until 2000. In the midst of this scramble a security and technology deployment […]
Arcturus UAV reports that the Mexican Navy is using its T-20 JUMP fixed-wing, Vertical Takeoff, and Landing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The fixed-wing VTOL UAV, with an electro-optical/infrared payload, has been conducting unspecified operations since its procurement earlier this year, the California-based company said. The T-20 JUMP is a VTOL variant of Arcturus’ catapult launched T-20 […]
Drones are firing more weapons than conventional warplanes for the first time in Afghanistan and the ratio is rising, previously unreported US Air Force data for 2015 show, underlining how reliant the military has become on unmanned aircraft. The data show strikes by unmanned aircraft accounted for 56% of weapons deployed by the air force in Afghanistan […]
There is something special happening in a generic office park in an uninspiring suburb near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Inside, amid the low gray cubicles, clustered desks, and empty swivel chairs, an impossible 8-inch robot drone from an alien planet hovers chest-high in front of a row of potted plants. It is steampunk-cute, minutely detailed. I […]
Mexican drug cartels are winning the battle of technology leaving the U.S. in the dark.

The cartels that […]
