Boeing says anechoic-chamber testing confirms a low radar cross-section for its uncrewed MQ-28 Ghost Bat, a survivability claim that feeds straight into the contested race to field cheap loyal-wingman jets.

Uvision's CORTEX puts one operator over many loitering munitions

Uvision's new CORTEX software puts one operator in charge of many loitering munitions at once, a bid to own the command layer over the swarm rather than just the munition.

Motorola buys Israel's D-Fend for $1.5 billion, a bet on drone-hijacking tech

Motorola is paying $1.5 billion for a counter-drone firm whose RF takeover seizes a drone's control link, the same link Ukraine's fiber-optic drones are built to fly without.

Helsing unveils a walking robot and a research arm it has no plans to sell

Helsing showed the RX-1 quadruped and its Area 9 research unit in Paris on June 1 and said it will give the robot to universities rather than sell it, as Ukraine fields tens of thousands of ground robots and China's Unitree dominates the quadruped market.
