UAV Propulsion Tech has signed an agreement to market Reventec's UAS sensors for the US market, the company announced on 28 July.
The sensors include capacitive liquid level sensors, rotary position sensors, magneto resistive speed sensors and temperature sensors.
Reventec Ltd is a UK-based mechanical and electronic design consultancy.
Bob Schmidt, president of UAV Propulsion Tech, said: ‘The addition of Reventec’s sensor solutions will further expand our UAV product offerings allowing us to provide solutions that will improve the performance, functionality and reliability of UAVs.
‘The business expansion of UAV Propulsion Tech's product offerings will allow US defence and commercial UAV developers to have one source for the most advanced propulsion, servo, autopilot, gyro-stabilised EO/IR gimbals, parachutes, electric turbofans and now advanced sensing solutions.’
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.
