According to the petition, Texas officials contend Anzu’s drones are effectively rebranded versions of DJI products, using identical hardware, firmware, and software while marketing themselves as free from the risks associated with Chinese-manufactured drones tied to the Chinese Communist Party.
Built to counter first-person view drones, kamikaze drones, and loitering munitions, SCILT integrates effector modules, onboard sensors, and fire-control logic directly into the vehicle. The effector module can fire multiple ammunition types including tungsten fragments, and armour-piercing shells.
The drone is described as a tail-sitter VTOL platform with a ducted propeller configuration, combining vertical takeoff capability with the higher cruise efficiency associated with fixed-wing aircraft.
SAHARA is an autonomous UAV-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system designed for situational awareness on and off the battlefield. It detects camouflaged positions and equipment, weapons storage. It delivers reliable intelligence data in inclement weather and during night-time operations.
The goal of the program has been to explore how an unmanned aircraft capable of firing air-to-air missiles could extend the reach and reduce the vulnerability of the launch platform, among other benefits.
London Defence R&D’s Raptor Pilot AI Pro is a compact autopilot that adds onboard AI targeting and autonomous precision control to UAVs.

The FCC banned all new foreign-made drones from being registered in the U.S. in late 2025, dealing a major blow to Chinese manufacturers like DJI. Newly founded companies like Xtra and SkyRover appear to be selling barely disguised DJI technology.
This demonstration highlighted the potential of CCAs to act as force multipliers for manned platforms, enabling collaboration between autonomous systems and human pilots. GA-ASI’s MQ-20 Avenger unmanned jet has served as a surrogate CCA for more than five years.
Diehl Defence presents the comprehensive relaunch of its highly mobile counter-UAV system 'Kinetic Defence Vehicle' (KDV) at this year's Enforce Tac Event in Nürnberg. The system will in future operate under the new name 'GARMR' (watchdog from Nordic mythology).
The Effector RCWS320C-UAS is Rheinmetall’s latest-generation remote-controlled weapon station designed to deliver reliable, high-precision protection against unmanned aerial threats. It provides scalable counter-UAS capability for tracked and wheeled vehicles and fixed installations.
The unmanned aerial systems are procured by the Defence Forces Logistics Command through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA). The procurement utilises the framework agreement between NSPA and the Finnish company Boston Group Oy.
Since 2025, a project team at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences has been exploring and teaching how artificial intelligence can enhance drone technology. Their work has resulted in a bilingual handbook that provides technical foundations and building instructions for AI-powered drones.
Founded in 1951 in Vienna, the globally operating Schiebel Group has built an international reputation for producing high-tech military, commercial and humanitarian products, which are backed by exceptional after-sales service and support.
Traditional, long-range interceptor missiles are no longer cost-effective as adversaries deploy low-cost, expendable technologies in large quantities. Cannon-Based Air Defence provides an affordable, layered terminal defence with scalable manufacturing base and simplified logistics footprint.
MQ-9Bs could launch from a number of friendly bases in the Western or Southern Pacific, fly to a hold point and loiter there outside a hostile power’s weapons engagement zone. The aircraft could launch its weapons in coordination with other U.S. or allied operations
Joint team will complete preliminary design of the GEK1500 engine to meet high performance and aggressive cost targets, leveraging GEK800 maturation to accelerate delivery.
“We have some of the best kit on the entire planet for shooting down air threats. The problem is to be effective at shooting down relatively low-cost missiles, drones, and other threats facing us. We need to make sure that we’re matching the cost of the threats with the cost of defence.”
The missile prototype exceeded Mach 6 and demonstrated a range of more than 300 kilometers. All systems operated normally during ascent and descent, with performance validated down to the subcomponent level at hypersonic speeds.
