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.
Saab has received an order from an unnamed customer in the oil and gas sector for the Sabertooth AUV, the company announced on 30 March.
The company said its customer has plans to field a fleet of Sabertooth AUVs.
Sabertooth is a roaming and hovering system that can operate in both AUV and ROV (tethered) modes, enabling fully flexible dual operations from a single platform. The AUV is able to perform tasks including inspection, maintenance and repair across a range of subsea operations such as site investigation surveys through to decommissioning support.
Saab Seaeye will work with the customer to further enhance the capabilities of Sabertooth in order to meet emerging demands. Sabertooth will be equipped with a suite of advanced survey sensors which will be configured for a range of project-specific applications.
The AUV’s iCON intelligent behaviour-based control architecture includes hardware and software building blocks that allow easy integration of systems and speed up future developments.

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.
