Peli has designed a new range of cases called Peli Air for protecting and transporting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the company announced on 8 October.
According to the company, the protective case range is up to 40% lighter than other polymer cases, and is also dustproof, crushproof, and watertight. The range of Peli Air cases, which have double-throw latches, includes six different sizes, including two travel cases with wheels and a retractable handle.
The Peli Air cases are designed to easily and safely transport UAS of a range of sizes and weights. A number of customised versions for specific UAS are also available. Cases including the Peli 1510, the Peli 1610, the 1630 or the Peli Storm iM2875 can accommodate UAS such as the DJI Phantom and Inspire, QAV, Parrot BeBop.
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.
Funded by the country’s former president, the new C-UAS systems will be sent to the frontline where they have already been tested against Russian invading forces.
