Freestyle, cinewhoops, racing, and the goggles-on world of first-person-view flight.
The two officials who built the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Unit and helped create the Blue UAS framework are warning that a drone attack on US soil is coming in 2026. Their analysis exposes a fundamental tension in American drone policy: the same security-first approach that justified expensive domestic alternatives may have slowed the mass production…
While the drone world panics over the FCC’s sweeping ban on foreign drones and components, FPV expert Joshua Bardwell is urging pilots to take a breath. His analysis raises a critical question that most coverage has missed: Does the FCC even have jurisdiction over half the components it listed? In a video published December 23, Bardwell…
Mexico’s Cartels utilizing drones pose a huge risk not just for rival cartel members, but for civilians and security forces as well. Drone warfare is no longer something that only happens “over there-” typically referring to the ongoing conflicts in Europe.

We have been following Auterion’s rise from open-source software pioneer to battlefield powerhouse for years. This week, the drone company crossed a threshold that transforms drone warfare from concept to operational reality. For the first time ever, FPV and fixed-wing drones from three different manufacturers flew, coordinated, and struck targets together as a single unified…
Okay, these drone ships aren’t a “hybrid” like a Toyota Prius, but The Royal Navy just put a number on its next big jump into a semi-autonomous fleet: twenty Unmanned Surface Vessels, or USVs, under a program called Project Beehive. These vessels won’t replace manned vessels like frigates or destroyers. Instead, they will act as…
