UK Donates Heavy-lift Drones to Ukraine

 The UK has sent Malloy heavy-lift drones to Ukraine, capable of transporting supplies and weaponry to the front lines.

The country's defense ministry has stated that these drones can lift up to 180kg and have a range of approximately 70km. While the specific model of the drone was not mentioned, one that perfectly matches this description is the T400 produced by the UK-based company Malloy Aeronautics.

The T400 boasts a maximum payload capacity of 180kg, a range exceeding 70km, and a cruise speed of over 35 meters per second. Thanks to removable batteries that can be easily replaced by personnel, there is no need to wait for hours for recharging, which increases cargo delivery frequency and offers better value for money.  https://www.defensemirror.com/news/34965/UK_Donates_Heavy_lift_Drones_to_Ukraine

  Estonia and Latvia signed a framework agreement with Diehl Defence for the acquisition of IRIS-T SLM medium-range ground-based air defense systems. Magnus-Valdemar Saar, the Director General of the Estonian Centre for Defence Investments (ECDI), stated that the first IRIS-T SLM systems will be operational by 2025. Diehl Defence reported that the IRIS system achieved a close to 100% hit rate even during waves of attacks involving more than 12 targets. The IRIS-T SLM is designed to counter threats posed by enemy aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, and drones within a range of up to 40 km and an altitude of up to 20 km. A complete IRIS-T SLM fire unit includes components such as a missile launcher, radar, and tactical operations center, complemented by support elements like workshop, spare parts, and reloading vehicles. The system is characterized by its high tactical mobility, deployability of the missile launchers, and the capability to engage multiple targets with low personn...

AFRL Demonstrates AI-piloted XQ-58A Valkyrie Uncrewed Jet Aircraft

 https://youtu.be/OrYvAUgF6vM AFRL Demonstrates AI-piloted XQ-58A Valkyrie Uncrewed Jet Aircraft U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) conducted first-ever flight of XQ-58A Valkyrie uncrewed jet aircraft using artificial intelligence agents (algorithms) on July 25. The mission demonstrated a multi-layer safety framework for AI/ML-flown uncrewed aircraft and showcased an AI/ML agent solving a tactically relevant problem during airborne operations. AI/ML agent's capabilities include executing modern air-to-air and air-to-surface skills, which can be transferred to the CCA (Comprehensive Combat Airspace) program. Algorithms controlling the XQ-58A were developed by AFRL's Autonomous Air Combat Operations team. AI algorithms underwent significant development and training, including millions of hours in high fidelity simulation events, sorties on the X-62 VISTA, Hardware-in-the-Loop events with the XQ-58A, and ground test operations. The team utilized a combination of hi...
