The combination of AI and video encoding is transforming the development of uncrewed systems. Autonomous systems equipped with high-quality cameras can capture large amounts of video data; however, transmitting and storing such data...

Held from April 8 to 10 at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton on England’s south coast, Ocean Business 2025 was a rich source of information on new and improved sensing, navigation and communication systems for USV...

Ore nodules collected from the seafloor represent a potentially enormous and untapped source of raw minerals, which are key to the fast-growing sustainable mobility and power grid industries, and are sufficiently widespread that many countries...

Just over 10 years ago, we featured Groupe Danielson’s Trident 100 TD2 engine, a 1.1 L, inline three-cylinder turbodiesel designed specifically for the UAV market. Since the company’s 2014 public launch of the Trident series of engines at AUVSI Xponential...

Although AI is booming both as an industry and as a buzzword worldwide, those among our readership understand that the true autonomy of an uncrewed vehicle depends on far more than just its intelligence. It is especially hard to consider...

It wasn’t so long ago that suppliers of ECUs and other control electronics solutions were in something of a tight spot. Pre-COVID ramp-ups in their customers’ production targets had filled ECU makers’ books with contracts, but the sudden freezes that happened...

Although the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International’s first European Xponential show was a long time in the making – and represented a risky venture – all parties are now in full agreement that producing a European show...

Experienced commercial UAV operator Phoenix Air Unmanned (PAU) announced in early January that it had used a single Event 38 E455 fixed-wing VTOL aircraft to complete a 320 mile pipeline patrol in just 7.6 flight hours for Shell Pipeline Company...

Although the rapid proliferation of small UASs for both consumer and professional use is a sign of a healthy and growing market, it would be a mistake to overlook the long-term implications of their obsolescence. Failure to manage these technologies...

The global decline of insect populations has sparked alarm across scientific and agricultural communities. With pollinators like bees disappearing at an unprecedented rate and traditional pest control methods proving increasingly unsustainable...
