Exail to supply Caméléon unmanned demining robots to Belgium Armed Forces
The Caméléon LG UGV includes remote operational capabilities and real-time hazard detection.
Echodyne has joined the Northern Plains UAS Test Site (NPUASTS) industry team to test and demonstrate commercial UAS operations in the next phase of the US Department of Transportation/FAA UAS Pilot Program (UPP), the company announced on 17 January
The UPP demonstration will use Echodyne’s EchoGuard airspace management radar. The radar’s MESA technology enables a UAS traffic management system to detect and track commercial UAS and manned aircraft, to enable safe operations in the national airspace.
The NPUASTS UPP will focus on advanced airspace, UAS and sensor technology for safe commercial UAS operations, including beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS), night operations, daisy-chained visual operations and higher altitude flights.
Echodyne radars will initially be focused on BVLOS operations as well as supporting other testing plans.

The UAS, which detects and tracks drone swarms, will be demonstrated to the US Air Force Global Strike team in January 2025.
Despite claiming there was no need for a drone corps, Army Aviation remains ready to address UAS and CUAS warfighter requirements, as it focuses on adaptability and rapid deployment across all levels of warfare.
Kiev and Moscow have been competing over who can better harness the ongoing revolution in military affairs caused by AI-controlled and human-operated robots and drones.
This time, the UAS flew into NATO airspace, though there is no evidence that they did so deliberately.
South Korea is rapidly advancing its UAV programmes and counter-drone capabilities in response to increasing threats from North Korea’s unmanned aerial systems.
