PDW’s Post

The growing prominence of drone warfare, highlighted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, underscores the urgent need for the U.S. to enhance its drone production capabilities and close the gap with China. PDW CEO Ryan Gury discusses this in a recent Business Insider article, noting that while companies like DJI "had a huge head start," their drones are primarily designed for consumers. He emphasizes that future warfare will depend on "small robotics and sensors deployed by small fire teams, units, and single soldiers." Experts agree that the U.S. needs to ramp up production, but Gury stresses that these systems must also adapt to modern battlefield challenges like GPS jamming and electronic warfare. Despite the challenges, Gury remains optimistic, stating that "American defense and our ability to innovate are still within the realm of leading the world." https://okt.to/3axODg

I came across a report titled "Game of Drones" by Reuters that delves into the significant impact of FPV (First Person View) drones in modern warfare, particularly in the context of the Ukraine crisis. These drones, equipped with advanced technology, have revolutionized military tactics and strategy in several ways: 1️⃣ Real-time Surveillance: FPV drones provide real-time intelligence, enhancing situational awareness and enabling swift decision-making on the battlefield. 2️⃣ Precision Strikes: Their ability to deliver precise, targeted strikes minimizes collateral damage and civilian casualties, a crucial aspect of ethical warfare. 3️⃣ Adaptive Tactics: Both sides in conflicts like the Ukraine crisis have adapted their tactics in response to the capabilities of FPV drones, showcasing the evolving nature of modern warfare.

Indeed a very good article. With the caveat that we are seeing today is particularly dangerous for our critical infrastructures. The simplicity of production makes it possible that we will see them again in other circumstances and actors. Another caveat is that AI is once again the key word of efficiency here. The big question is whether EU has a strategic plan against this disruptive technology?

#Concealment & #Deception are becoming more important against #ISR and #AI #targeting #algorithms. This is our bet, this was the main reason for us to design and develop #kallistoShield years ago.

Exactly two weeks ago, I started exploring the world of autonomous combat platforms. So, here's my drone technology exploration journey wrapped: > BAE Systems unveiled its latest attritable autonomous collaborative platform (ACP) at the World Defense Show 2024. > Designed to operate alongside future and current-generation combat aircrafts, this ACP aims to enhance capabilities while minimizing risk to human life. > The latest design considers a new wing shape and low-observable features, using electrical instead of hydraulic actuation systems. > The new ACP has the potential to perform diverse missions including intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare. > The price of platforms like this is roughly one-tenth of manned fighters, providing a cost-effective solution in the military operations. > These unmanned systems have a shorter lifespan, making them ideal sacrificial aerial systems in combat situations. > The development rate of such systems depends on customer investment, highlighting the need for continued support and focus on autonomous technologies. Exploring drone technology will always be special. Can't wait to see what future developments in drone technology have in store. Has the rise of autonomous combat platforms caught your attention too? #drone #military #technology #autonomousvehicles Generate 2 slides.

The Japan Ground Self-Defense Forces is set to fundamentally strengthen its defence capabilities with unmanned assets in order to gain asymmetric superiority while limiting human losses. A task to which UGVs are uniquely qualified.   https://lnkd.in/dC38CECg

PDW's C100 brings together essential capabilities required by our forces and allies for success in today’s complex battlefield. The latest article from the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) highlights necessity for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sU heavily contested areas like Taiwan. The time for action is now. https://okt.to/xgvboK
