249g, 10 minutes, eyes in the sky with image detect on board with smartphone cameras. Easy to put it back in the case and then it charges by USB.

Happy 0302 Day everyone!!!

Are we doing workouts here?

Consider a Chicken Cordon Bleu Mac’n Cheesetini:

🚨“The strategy says that overcoming organisational cultural barriers is slow and sometimes impossible. “This is why new operating and financing models are necessary, that circumvent the obstacles of traditional structures and open space for innovation”

➡️ www.unmannedairspace.info/uncategorize....

That’s rad.

Define Training Standards for Interoperability There is no training and readiness standard to gauge unit integration with allied and partner forces. This needs to change, because interoperability is crucial to U.S. strategy.

🚨Read it.

🚨Use Case

From a heavily modified “Perarin” container ship, the IRGC-N recieved "Shahid Bahman Bagheri" drone carrier. The vessel has been retrofitted to house and operate various UAVs from an internal hangar as well as serving as a afloat platform for small missile boats and maritime drones.

The pallet drone is also a palindrone -it flies the same way forward as it does backward.

Have an awesome day!

🚨Use Case

Mexican cartel members employ aerial systems with gravity dropped munitions against government forces.
