Tekever unveils new swarm-controlling UAS
Tekever has manufactured the AR3, AR4 and AR5 UAS with all systems sharing common electronics and software architecture, which has enabled the reuse of ground segment elements within the new ARX UAS.
ECA Group has received a contract from Beachcomber to supply two five-function BM5E Micro underwater electric arms, the company announced on 6 March.
The arms will enhance the maintenance capacity of Beachcomber’s H800-INS remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV), which was delivered by ECA in spring 2017.
The arms are compact and lightweight and can be installed, side by side, on a single skid placed immediately underneath the ROV.
During operations one arm of the H800-INS ROV is used to hold a fixed point on the targeted underwater structure, thereby maintaining the ROV at a constant distance to it, while the other arm carries out the maintenance operation itself.
The H800 ROV is used by Beachcomber as a maintenance tool for its underwater structures in Tahiti.

As the dynamics of aerial combat rapidly evolve, Chinese scientists have engineered a sophisticated air separation drone model that can fragment into up to six drones, each capable of executing distinct battlefield roles and challenging the efficacy of current anti-drone defences such as the UK’s Dragonfire laser system.
Advancements in air defence technologies have begun to reshape aerial combat dynamics in the Middle East, as illustrated by recent events involving the Israeli Air Force and Hezbollah.
Both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war have been using UAS for effective low-cost attacks, as well as impactful web and social media footage. Thousands more have now been committed to Ukrainian forces.
The US Army has intentions to develop light, medium and heavy variants of the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) as part of the branche’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle family.
DroneSentry-X, a cross-vehicle compatible, automated 360° C-UAS detect and defeat device, can offer 360° awareness and protection using integrated sensors. According to its manufacturer, it is suitable for mobile operations, on-site surveillance and on-the-move missions.
