AeroVironment to display eVTOL P550 at AUSA 2024
AeroVironment’s portfolio will grow thanks to the eVTOL P550 aimed at battalion-level tactical forces.
Delair launched a new next-generation UAS for survey-grade photogrammetric mapping, called the UX11, on 26 September.
The UX11 is a small, fixed-wing UAS that combines a powerful integrated onboard system, industry-grade sensors and communication systems.
The UAS can process captured imagery and send it to the operator in real-time. The UX11's communications system includes a line-of-sight radio and 3G/4G connectivity between the ground control station and the aircraft using a machine-to-machine pre-paid plan.
The UX11 is lightweight, stable, is hand-launched and lands using distance measuring technology. The Android mission planning software has features such as support for in-flight camera feedback and live data review.
Designed for operations including GIS, survey, and construction, the UX11 flies for 59 minutes at 122m (400ft) altitude above ground level.

The Royal Australian Air Force is advancing its unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capabilities across three key programmes as it works with the likes of Boeing and Northrop Grumman to reshape Australia’s defence strategy.
Prototypes from Griffon Aerospace and Textron Systems recently passed through MOSA conformance trials and flight tests.
Funds for the second phase of this effort will be allocated in the US Department of Defense (DoD) FY2026 budget request.
The Caméléon LG UGV includes remote operational capabilities and real-time hazard detection.
The UAS, which detects and tracks drone swarms, will be demonstrated to the US Air Force Global Strike team in January 2025.
