Market Research and Market Trends of Target Drones Ecosystem

Fuel cells are becoming more practical and will be employed soon as the primary source of power. Fuel cells are still expensive and are slower to respond to load changes. HES Energy Systems is a Singapore-based company which recently announced manufacturing of hydrogen fuel cells for drones that are the smallest and lightest for the power delivered or energy stored in the world. 

Aerialtronics is employing drones for industrial inspection in various fields. They have a UAV that can autonomously fly around wind turbines and cell towers, detect faults and generate reports more quickly. Artificial Intelligence enabled smart drones will be able to navigate and solve tasks more autonomously. These type of drones are increasingly gaining popularity and are expected to intervene in the target drone market soon.

A contract to work with the Defense Department on a pilot, dubbed “Project Maven has been secured by tech giant Google. The contract is aimed at assisting the U.S. military to use the artificial intelligence systems. The project will be responsible for target drone strikes, and analyzing the massive trove of video recorded by surveillance cameras.

In many ways modern consumer drones are becoming more advanced than far more expensive military systems. The best consumer models are now being redeployed for commercial use, often with little or no modification. And just as with smartphones, people who enjoyed playing with consumer drones realized it made sense to take them to work too. Even military users are beginning to pay attention to developments in the consumer market and regulatory bodies such as FAA have been set up to prevent misuse of different types of drones.

Sensofusion from Finland was recently included in a group of companies selected by the U.S. FAA for a cooperative program aimed at the development of drone protection, location and prevention for airports. The objective of FAA is to find a system that can be deployed on air bases to spot, block and drop the unwanted unmanned aircraft systems before they get anywhere near the boundary fence, never mind into controlled airport airspace. The other companies added to the FAA Pathfinder Program at the same time include Gryphon Sensors and Liteye Systems.

IMAGES: Sukhoi modifies design of Sukhoi Su-75 fighter

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 07/18/2023 - 21:29 in Military

After a long hiatus, Russia again releases information about the Su-75 Checkmate fighter, but now with some design changes. Even with the forecast to take off for the first time in 2024, the question that persists is: is anyone going to buy the fighter?

Presented as a highlight at the MAKS air show on the outskirts of Moscow in 2021, the new stealth jet "The Checkmate" even received its own hall for its debut. At the time, the public and the press disagreed whether the specimen on display was a real (and half complete) test vehicle or just a model.

The only thing that became clear was that the new jet would be a kind of "minor version" of the Su-57 and that the Checkmate was being developed for the export market. The Su-75 designation was officially added later.

The schedule that the Russian weapons company Rostec released at the premiere seemed very ambitious, with a forecast of the first flight in 2023 and with the first production aircraft already leaving the assembly line in 2026. Since 2021 the aircraft has not received any confirmed orders. The Russian Air Force itself showed no interest and Rostec took over the development of the Su-75.

The United Arab Emirates even showed interest in 2021, but when Russia delayed the first flight from 2023 to 2024, the emirates went back.

Last week Rostec presented changes in the design of the Su-75, mainly affecting the trailing edges of the wings and the side line, which is now clearly curved in the front view.

Difference between the 2021 (left) and 2023 versions.

The new patent designs reported by various Russian media are putting "The Checkmate" back in the news, showing that Rostec is still improving the fighter's project. The designers are planning to add a triangular extension to the left and right of the rear edges of the Su-75 wings, thus increasing the wing area.

Biplace version of the Su-75.

The Su-75 also seems to have received a filling on the side, which may indicate that Rostec is increasing the volume of the internal weapon compartments. Larger fuselage tanks would also be a possible explanation.

Rostec would also be planning to develop several versions of the Su-75. In addition to the main version with one seat, the manufacturer evaluates a version with two seats and an unmanned version.

Unmanned version of Checkmate.

But all these ideas should only move forward if there is an interested partner to invest in the project, possibly from abroad, together with Russia.

This is the busiest week for Lapland tourism. Helsingin Sanomat travels up north to investigate the region's wintery appeal that has transformed Rovaniemi from a small town of 65,000 to a "staged Arctic travel destination".

Last year, Rovaniemi Airport set a visitor record of nearly 740,000, and this year's numbers have long since surpassed that. This is why Rovaniemi no longer markets winter or Christmas but is instead trying to get tourists excited about summer, according to HS.

The paper highlights the irony that the destination is out of reach for most average earners in Finland during the pricey Christmas season. Just as well, most elves and Santas there only speak English.

According to HS, the experience is not really Finnish at all. Rovaniemi doesn't feel like Finland, but more like an artificial fairyland, like Las Vegas, with tourist hotspots blending Lapland mysticism, Disney imagery, Mauri Kunnas and Nutcracker dolls.

F-35 vs drones

Finland's acquisition of 60 new F-35 fighter jets is its largest defence investment in the past 30 years, valued at some ten billion euros.

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has recently fired off a series of posts on social media platform X, taking aim at the aircraft's capabilities compared to unmanned aerial systems.

According to Hufvudstadsbladet, the Tesla billionaire's criticism that the F-35s are outdated is not entirely incorrect, noting that next-generation solutions will likely involve a larger manned aircraft surrounded by smaller unmanned platforms. In western countries, drones are appealing since they do not risk the lives of fighter pilots, the paper explains.

Black Christmas

Parts of the country are set to experience a 'black Christmas,' with temperatures rising above freezing — including in Lapland — on Christmas Day, according to Maaseudun Tulevaisuus.

People in southern Finland can expect a snowless Christmas, should forecasts prove accurate. Rain and mild weather have melted much of the snow, particularly along the southern coast. While a white Christmas is expected in the southeastern corner of the country, snow will be scarce in the south and southwest.

On Christmas Eve, Lapland will see temperatures around -10 degrees Celsius, while southern and eastern regions will experience near-zero temperatures, with some areas close to the coast slightly above freezing.

Iran reveals plan to turn its "sneaky hoo" into an unmanned aircraft

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 02/21/2013 - 10:24am Military

The Iranian Ministry of Defense has revealed a plan to turn the country's alleged Qaher stealth into an unmanned combat plane.

General Afshin Khajefard announced in his speech that the Ministry of Defense is focusing on the diversity of the finished product, emphasizing that the Qaher fighter will eventually become a non-pilot aircraft, after reaching full technological maturity.

The ministry began working to automate the national war plane, according to a report by the Tasnim News Agency, citing the general. Different versions of the jet fighter will be revealed in mid-2024, including a version with an electric motor.

More than a decade ago, Iran claimed to have launched its "fifth generation" stealth-and-roat Qaher-313, designed as the most advanced warplane in the country.

When Iran revealed the prototype of this aircraft, which has been under development since 2013, aviation experts around the world discarded it with the argument that the Iranian construction of the jet would be impossible due to the lack of analytical and sensor technologies in Iran.

The jet was the target of suspicion and quickly gained notoriety among military aficionados, who ridiculed it as a coarse model and an advertising ploy intended to dazzle the domestic market

Any resemblance to the US X-36 is mere coincidence.

According to the Iranian general, the Qaher is a single-engine and single-seater aircraft capable of taking off and landings on short runways. However, Khajefard emphasized the improvement of the country's "self-sufficiency" in the manufacture of aircraft components.

He said that despite the new sanctions for providing armed drones to Russia, Tehran could even reform commercial aircraft.

“Now we can create 10 different types of engines, most of which are used in drones and cruise missiles, thanks to our degree of motor self-sufficiency,” said Khajefard, quoted by the Tehran Times.

The announcement is ambitious, as the country still operates a fleet of American F-14 Tomcats, F-5 Tigers and F-4 Phantoms at least four decades old, in addition to the MiG-29 acquired from Moscow in the 1990s.

Iran's decision to turn Qaher into an unmanned aircraft occurs when the country becomes recognized as an emerging leader in the production of autonomous systems, after becoming Russia's largest military supporter in the war, providing the country with attack drones that caused considerable damage to Kiev's military assets.

In September last year, the Middle Eastern nation claimed to have developed a long-range unmanned system that could reach the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa.

It may take time to hit a target, acting as an observer and hitting the same targets as the Fateh ballistic missile.

Fear over looming tariffs (Bloomberg) One in three Americans are stockpiling daily necessities like toilet paper and non-perishable food out of fear that President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge to add tariffs to imported goods will lead to higher prices, according to a new survey. Some 34% of respondents said they are stockpiling items because they are “fearful or uncertain about the future,” according to a December report from CreditCards.com, which publishes information on credit cards and financial literacy.

Why did the Californian cross the road? (The Times/UK) To get to the other sidewalk because of Los Angeles’ treacherous crumbling pavements. The mayor of Los Angeles lives in a sprawling, mock Tudor estate in Windsor Square, one of the city’s wealthiest and most exclusive neighbourhoods. And yet, for all its beauty and privilege, Windsor Square is plagued by a problem that afflicts the entire city: crumbling pavements. Joggers seeking a scenic early evening run must contend with slabs of concrete jutting up at shin-height, while young mothers pushing $1,200 prams struggle to overcome the giant tree roots protruding from the ground. All over Los Angeles, people keep tripping on these uneven surfaces and suffering severe injuries. That has prompted lawsuits. The city is spending fortunes to settle claims over its decrepit pavements. One estimate put the outlay on this between 2019 and last year at roughly $65 million. In 2015 Los Angeles agreed to spend some $1.3 billion over the following three decades after being sued by disabled residents over the state of the pavements. Yet according to the Los Angeles Times, it typically takes more than a decade to get a pavement fixed.

Chicago’s perilous finances (Mishtalk) Despite the massive stock market boom, the Chicago Firefighters pension is only 21.6 percent funded. Police is 31.1 percent funded. The Teachers’ pension is only 43.4 percent funded. Illinois’ pension crisis has put taxpayers on the hook for $211 billion in unfunded state and local pension liabilities according to the Illinois Policy Institute. The Census Reporter shows the population of Illinois is 12.55 million and shrinking. There are 5.07 million households. If you live in Illinois, your household share is $41,617. By the way, 11.6 percent of the population is below the poverty line.

Planes or drones? (WSJ) The U.S. Air Force is leaving a decision on the future of the next jet fighter to the incoming Trump administration, a move that comes shortly after billionaire Elon Musk called for pursuing drones over piloted combat aircraft. The Air Force is still building F-35 stealth jet fighters, a program whose total costs are expected to exceed $2 trillion over several decades.

The foreigners flocking to Paraguay (The Times/UK) Two foreigners are sipping cappuccinos on a Saturday morning in a bustling restaurant in Asuncion, sharing notes on what made them decide to come to Paraguay. “You can really forget about the rest of the world here,” says one, Paul Kittson, an Australian entrepreneur. He is not the first to have come to that conclusion. For much of the past two centuries this sweltering, landlocked country in the heart of South America has been the destination of choice for those who wanted to get away from it all. Kittson, who runs a business helping foreigners to obtain residency, concedes the main reason most of his clients inquire about Paraguay in the first place is tax, or the lack of it. A resident’s permit can be obtained within weeks and the recipient is not required to live in the country. Foreign income is not taxed. That makes it especially appealing to digital nomads. “You basically have a licence to travel tax-free,” Kittson says. As word of that perk spreads, Paraguay’s immigration service is processing about 4,500 residency applications a month, double the number of recent years.

Europe’s economy needs help. Political chaos in France and Germany means it may be slower in coming (AP) Even before the French and German governments collapsed, Europe’s economy had enough difficulties. Tepid growth and lagging competitiveness versus the U.S. and China. An auto industry that’s struggling. Where to find billions for defense against Russia? And now Donald Trump threatening tariffs. Solutions will be harder to find while the two countries that make up almost half of the eurozone economy remain stuck in political paralysis well into 2025. Where once there was the so-called French-German axis to push Europe ahead, now there’s a vacuum. French Prime Minister Michel Barnier resigned Thursday after losing a vote of confidence, and while President Emmanuel Macron will appoint a successor, the new head of government will lack a majority. Elections are not constitutionally permitted until at least June. Germany’s coalition led by Social Democratic Chancellor Olaf Scholz with the Greens and pro-business Free Democrats fractured in November, triggering an early election on Feb. 23. Talks to form a new government could last into April.

‘Reindeer’ volunteers bring holiday magic to Ukrainian children living on the frontlines (AP) Hopes for victory, a swift end to the war and prayers for their loved ones’ survival or return from Russian captivity are among the wishes scattered throughout letters sent to a volunteer group by Ukrainian children living in frontline areas. While the volunteers, who are named reindeer after the magical beasts that pull Santa’s sleigh, cannot fulfill many of these dreams, they strive to deliver on the simpler ones, such as requests for power banks to help families endure outages, bicycles, books, and even pets. Every winter, the volunteers travel to heavily damaged cities to deliver gifts and ensure that, despite the war, Ukrainian children can celebrate the holiday season just like their peers around the world. The children’s wishes are published on the project’s website. Donors affectionately known as magicians then choose a letter and buy the requested gift to make that child’s dreams come true. The reindeer then deliver those gifts.

Modi’s BJP says U.S. State Department is targeting India (Nikkei Asia) Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused the State Department and “deep state” elements in the U.S. of trying to destabilize India in conjunction with a group of investigative journalists and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. The accusation comes as a surprise as New Delhi and Washington have forged a strong relationship in the last two decades and both have vowed to further strengthen ties despite some differences and irritants. Gandhi’s Congress party used the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP)’s articles that “singularly focused” on the Adani Group and its alleged closeness to the government to undermine Modi, the ruling party said on Thursday.

South Korea’s Leader Survives Impeachment Vote After His Power Grab (NYT) South Korean lawmakers’ attempt to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol ended in failure on Saturday night, prolonging the political upheaval and uncertainty that has roiled the country since his short-lived imposition of martial law this week. The failed vote was a reversion to political deadlock in the deeply divided country, despite large-scale protests calling for the president’s removal. It was a contrast to the brief moment early Wednesday when lawmakers across the political spectrum came together to vote swiftly and unanimously against the president’s martial law declaration. Saturday’s move by the opposition to impeach Mr. Yoon was foiled by his conservative People Power Party, which boycotted the vote and prevented the necessary quorum. All but one member of the party walked out of the room before the impeachment motion was put to a vote, making the effort moot even before the first ballot was cast.

Syrians Mourn All They Have Lost, Even as They Celebrate (NYT) Even as many Syrians celebrated the rebels’ advance into Damascus on Sunday morning, they were reminded of all they had lost over 13 years of civil war. The loved ones who were killed, tortured or disappeared into the regime’s labyrinthine prison system. The homes they lost to airstrikes and shelling. The lives they had to abandon. “Thank God, thank God,” said Eman Ouad, whose husband was killed in the civil war. Her voice was close to breaking. “Our freedom has returned,” said Ms. Ouad, 44, who was displaced from her home in Damascus and now lives in Syria’s northwest. “Thirteen years of subjugation. Thirteen years of displacement.” Other Syrians in the northwest said they were playing close attention to the rebels’ capture of the Sednaya prison complex outside Damascus because their friends and family members had been imprisoned there for years. Ahmed al-Misilmani, a journalist, said he ran onto his balcony yelling for joy when he saw reports that President Bashar al-Assad was fleeing the country. Anas Khoury, 24, an opposition activist who fled his Damascus suburb with his wife after a 2013 chemical attack, said he was struggling to express his sense of shock at the latest twists in a conflict that has created so much upheaval for his family. His children were born in Idlib and don’t know their grandparents. “They were born in displacement,” he said. “They were born among the tents.”

Assad flees to Russia (NYT) Syria’s deposed president Bashar al-Assad fled to Moscow on Sunday, according to Russian state news, after his regime crumbled under the weight of the armed Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Influential neighbors called for a peaceful transition as Western leaders hailed Assad’s fall with caution and called for regional stability. The Russian Foreign Ministry, a major backer of Syria’s government during the civil war, said Assad stepped down as president and fled after negotiations with rebels, a claim that could not be independently verified. / European leaders celebrated the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, calling it barbaric and cruel. The leaders called for stability, peace and rebuilding in the country. “The cruel Assad dictatorship has collapsed,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote online. She added that Europe is ready to help Syria rebuild. Britain, France and Germany shared the sentiment. / Jubilant demonstrators filled the street next to the main Lebanese border crossing between the Syrian capital of Damascus and neighboring Lebanon on Sunday. Some were waiting to go back to their home country, while others had just come to celebrate the downfall of the regime they had been forced to flee. “I bring you the good news that the axis of evil has fallen,” a voice boomed over the sound system as the crowd of a few hundred erupted in cheers and chants.

A farming project in South Africa is helping deaf people build skills and find jobs (AP) At the Westonaria agricultural park near Bekkersdal, east of Johannesburg, farm workers are busy tilling the soil and planting tomatoes and lettuce. Despite the hive of activity, there is silence around the park. Most people here are deaf and communicate using sign language. They are members of the Voiceout Deaf farming collective, started by entrepreneur Matebogo Victoria, to create a platform where deaf people can develop their skills in agriculture and find sustainable work. Victoria, who has a hearing disability herself, understood perfectly the challenges faced by deaf people when competing for opportunities with their counterparts who do not face the same challenge. Victoria, who used to work for Standard Bank, decided to leave her corporate job and start Voiceout as a way of allowing deaf people to gain agricultural skills. For Sibongile Maake, the opportunity to learn agriculture in a space where co-workers can easily communicate with her in sign language was transformational. It has also afforded her an opportunity to earn a living and rely less on the welfare disability grants that are paid out by the government.

The Hazards of Drone Technology and Its Impact on Others

As the drone sector has experienced significant growth, certain individuals and groups worldwide have begun to utilize drones for harmful intentions. Many of us have encountered news stories detailing the misuse of drones and have questioned whether effective anti-drone technologies exist to counteract these actions. The reality is that such technologies have been available for years in military applications, yet the pressing issue remains how to implement them legally in non-combat environments without causing collateral damage.

A variety of companies focused on anti-drone technologies have reacted to reports concerning troublesome drones by marketing their offerings. They have developed an array of products, such as anti-drone rifles, shotgun ammunition designed for drone interception, trained raptors, net guns, laser systems, missile launchers, radio signal disruptors, and GPS spoofing tools. Some of these technologies can pose considerable disruptions to individuals, especially those piloting manned aircraft or vehicles that depend on GPS navigation, as well as users of wireless technologies like Wi-Fi.

How Some Anti-drone Technologies Can Endanger Others

There have been occasions where airport management did not align their evaluations and demonstrations with the Federal Aviation Administration beforehand. It is essential for federally funded airports to comprehend that the FAA has not sanctioned any airport to perform drone detection or countermeasure assessments unless they are part of the FAA’s drone detection program through the CRDA. Airports that permit these assessments risk violating their grant assurances. Additionally, the letter emphasizes that unauthorized drone detection and countermeasure implementations could result in numerous issues, such as electromagnetic and radio frequency (RF) interference, which can adversely affect flight safety and air traffic management.

Additionally, the American Radio Relay Alliance has communicated a warning to the FCC about the presence of video transmitters on the market that operate between 1010 and 1280 MHz, capable of transmitting at levels up to six times the legal limit. "The most pressing issue is the potential for these devices to interfere with the auxiliary targeting/transponder system utilized in air traffic control." It is important to note that one of the frequencies mentioned is legally available for amateur radio operations, while the others are not. This creates a scenario where individuals might acquire this equipment and use it on frequencies that are prohibited. What equipment is known to function within this frequency spectrum?

Counter-drone systems and the Fourth Amendment

The populace is entitled to security in their persons, homes, papers, and possessions against unreasonable searches and seizures. A warrant may only be granted based on probable cause, which must be established by an oath or declaration, and must clearly specify the area to be searched as well as the individuals or items to be confiscated.

Do drone jammers work?

It is correct that the use of jamming devices against drones is prohibited for all individuals, except for designated federal agencies. Drones share radio frequencies with numerous other technologies, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Therefore, the act of jamming drones could also interfere with the radio communications of others in the vicinity, rendering it highly illegal.
