Drones Solve a Nuclear Waste Mystery at Chernobyl

Posted by in categories: drones, nuclear energy

In 2019, Switzerland-based Flyability had a mystery to solve at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Was nuclear waste still present in one of the plant’s decommissioned reactors?

“At the time of the disaster, the fifth block of the Chernobyl Plant was under construction and nearing completion,” a Flyability spokesperson said. “Given the rush to leave, there was no record of whether the holding pools in Reactor Five had ever received the depleted uranium fuel bars for which they had been made.”

This Is How a Laser Weapon Torches Drones Out of the Sky

Posted by in categories: drones, military

This simple laser demonstration is actually a great crash course on how these anti-drone weapons work.


At first glance, this video is just a simple promotional video for Rafael’s Drone Dome, an anti-drone laser weapon. But at just two minutes long, it does a really excellent job at explaining what how a laser weapon actually takes down a drone.

Hydrogen-powered VTOL drone flies for 3.5 hours

Posted by in categories: drones, energy

VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) drones are quite versatile, as they combine the vertical flight of a helicopter with the fast and efficient forward flight of a fixed-wing airplane. This one features an extended range, thanks to a fuel cell power system.

The experimental aircraft was developed by a team at the Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), working with colleagues from the Royal Netherlands Navy and the Netherlands Coastguard. It has a 3-meter wingspan (9.8 ft), weighs 13 kg (29 lb), and features 12 motor/propeller units distributed on its two wings. Even if several of the motors fail, it can reportedly still fly and land successfully.

Robotic dogs to start patrolling Florida military base

Posted by in categories: drones, military, robotics/AI, surveillance

Fido, meet F1d0.

Newly developed robotic K9s will soon be prowling Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Florida, to enhance security and surveillance patrolling, WMBB-TV reported Monday.

The 325th Security Forces Squadron, which handles security for the base, said the robo-dogs are weatherproof, four-legged, unmanned patrolling drones that have two-way communication abilities and high-tech sensors that cost about $100,000 a pop, the outlet reported.

Azerbaijan’s drones owned the battlefield in Nagorno-Karabakh — and showed future of warfare

Posted by in categories: drones, military

Drones will rule the battlefield. Until anti drone tech comes up to match it. I was picturing a anti drone system. One system that uses an old school radar anti aircraft gun, also equipped with a set of small missiles like the Iron Dome system, also equipped with some kind of laser weapon, and some kind of electro magnetic EMF weapon. All four in one package, that could engage multiple targets simultaneously. And, this will have to come standard, like SAM systems are now.


Azerbaijan used oil wealth to buy attack drones from Turkey and Israel. It was a huge advantage.
