Each drone is personally tested by the crew commander to ensure it is functional and safe for the pilots.

Once it's cleared,it's ready for action😏💥🤫

The results speak for themselves—through the popular videos showcasing the destruction of enemy personnel and equipment, and the ever-growing statistics of russian losses

Thrones of Drones

1. BoJack Horseman (2014-2020).

“Why can’t it be called a drone throne.” - Todd Chavez.

2. Inside Job (2021-?) (FUCK Netflix!!!)

“So, in conclusion. By duct taping a bunch of drones together. You get THE DRONE THRONE!!!!!” - Brett Hand.

I’m not the only one who’s noticed this coincidence.

I don’t think these episodes had the same writers.

So it’s most likely a baffling coincidence.

Interesting.

@saturniandragon ADRAAAAA!!!

Pindad's gone off the deep end again! ... they smooshed an 5.56 AR and a drone jammer together! They're calling it the Silent Paralyzing Weapon Series 1 (aka SPS-1).

It has to weigh a ungodly amount lol. I would not want to be the poor sap that has to lug this thing around.

Understanding Drone Warfare in Ukraine

Drone warfare is a complex and nuanced topic with drones used for information gathering, observation and direct attacks. The war in Ukraine has seen an explosion in drone use ranging from small commercial DJI Mavics to military grade drones like the Bayraktar TB-2. I'm joined by author and journalist David Hambling who has been tracking and writing about drone use in Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022.

Check out the accompanying blog here.

NAVIGATING PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE AEC INDUSTRY

Navigating Project Management in the AEC industry involves a series of interconnected tasks that require effective planning, execution, monitoring, and control. By following best practices and leveraging project management methodologies such as APM, SCRUM, KANBAN, or the Traditional WATERFALL Project Management Methodology, the AEC professionals can successfully deliver complex projects while meeting stakeholder expectations and achieving project objectives.

As an architectural manager with a Master of Architecture degree and an architectural engineering degree from reputable institutes, having experience in project and design management for large-scale commercial facilities, multi-story offices, and high-rise administration buildings, I can provide the necessary artifacts to enhance project success, improve team collaboration, and effectively handle project complexities in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector.

1. Set Clear Goals and Objectives:

Define project scope, including deliverables and constraints.

Establish SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals.

Align goals with stakeholder expectations and project requirements.

Obtain buy-in from key stakeholders on project objectives.

2. Develop a Comprehensive Project Plan:

Create a detailed work breakdown structure (WBS) to organize project tasks.

Define project milestones and dependencies.

Develop a project schedule with timelines and resource allocation.

Identify risks and develop a risk management plan.

Establish a budget and financial plan for the project.

3. Foster Effective Communication:

Establish communication channels and protocols for project team members.

Hold regular project meetings to discuss progress, issues, and updates.

Use clear and concise language in all communications.

Encourage open and transparent communication among team members.

Address communication barriers and conflicts promptly.

4. Embrace Technology and Communication:

Utilize project management software for task tracking and collaboration.

Implement communication tools such as emails, instant messaging, and video conferencing.

Leverage cloud-based platforms for document sharing and version control.

Provide training and support for team members on project management tools.

Stay updated on new technologies and tools to improve project efficiency.

5. Manage Change Effectively:

Establish a change control process to evaluate and approve changes to project scope.

Communicate changes to stakeholders and assess their impact on project objectives.

Update project documentation and plans to reflect approved changes.

Monitor changes to prevent scope creep and ensure project alignment with goals.

Evaluate the risks and benefits of proposed changes before implementation.

6. Foster Collaboration and Teamwork:

Encourage team members to share ideas, feedback, and best practices.

Foster a collaborative work environment that values diversity and inclusivity.

Promote team building activities and recognize team achievements.

Facilitate cross-functional collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Resolve conflicts and promote a positive team culture.

7. Continuously Monitor and Evaluate Progress:

Track project performance against key performance indicators (KPIs).

Conduct regular project reviews to assess progress and identify areas for improvement.

Monitor project risks and issues and take corrective actions as needed.

Evaluate project outcomes against initial goals and objectives.

Use lessons learned to make informed decisions and optimize project performance.

By focusing on these subtasks within each point, project managers can enhance project success, improve team collaboration, and effectively manage project complexities in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

Cheers to UK technology firm Evolve Dynamics for helping Ukraine modify its drones to thwart Russian jamming. 👍🏼

Ukraine has partially pushed back a Russian invasion and has sunk much of Russia's Black Sea Fleet – despite having almost no conventional navy. The country is disproportionately resourceful in addition to being highly motivated. But it still requires some help defending itself.

With Russia increasingly using jamming against Ukrainian drones, Evolve Dynamics is developing tech workarounds to beat Putin's jammers.

British engineers technologically modernize drones for Ukraine to make them more resistant to Russian electronic warfare. A British firm called Evolve Dynamics is working on upgrades that could counter Russia’s electronic warfare capabilities against Ukraine’s reconnaissance drones, Reuters reported on 28 March. “It’s a constant ping-pong game between adversaries,” said Mike Dewhirst, the company’s chief executive. By developing alternative radio link algorithms, Evolve Dynamics aims to make it harder for Russia to jam signals controlling Ukraine’s surveillance drones. Both sides have increasingly utilized electronic warfare systems designed to disrupt Russian drone communications frequencies. According to Dewhirst, there have been 85 upgrades to Evolve’s Sky Mantis drones over the last two-and-a-half years to stay ahead. The company directly supplies Ukrainian military units with parts and software to modify the drones when possible. “We’re adding technology to existing drones, modifying them. It might be a software change, a hardware change,” Dewhirst told Reuters. This is reportedly part of an international effort by Ukraine’s allies to support its drone program, which ‘Ukraine hopes will offset Russia’s larger resources.’ Currently, around 200 companies in Ukraine produce unmanned systems, with approximately 50 of them having already obtained permits from the Ministry of Defense and supplying various drones to the army.

Yep, Ukraine has about 200 companies making UAVs. This is a technologically advanced country which is not shy about innovating. After the war we could see it become the European equivalent of South Korea which rose from the ashes of the Korean War to become a leading economic power. And because of its proximity to the EU, it could make the transition to a powerful peacetime economy rather quickly.

Helping Ukraine is an investment which will pay off.
