US Navy foresees an uncrewed future for its surface and underwater fleet
The service has been conducting various procurement and development efforts to integrate unmanned surface and underwater vehicles into its inventory.
Universities in the US have begun looking at how small UAS could be used to predict extreme weather events and double warning times for those living in areas prone to tornados or severe storms.
The proliferation of UAS technology and their gradual integration into commercial airspace is giving both meteorologists and atmospheric physicists a potentially powerful tool that could supplement or even replace traditional methods of forecasting weather.
Currently, researchers use a combination of weather balloons, ground-based Doppler radar and satellites to determine weather patterns.
Doppler radar in particular has been ‘fantastic’ for severe storm measurements and giving scientists a

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.
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.
