Exail to supply Caméléon unmanned demining robots to Belgium Armed Forces
The Caméléon LG UGV includes remote operational capabilities and real-time hazard detection.
Era Group is venturing into the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) service market, with a newly launched Unmanned Aerial Solutions offering, the company announced on 8 August.
The company will offer UAV-based services, such as aerial inspections, surveys, mapping, imagery, and construction and engineering for customers in related industries, as an alternative to more expensive, resource-heavy manned services.
The offering is being launched in collaboration with industrial inspection and integrated safety solutions company, Total Safety. Era will serve as Total Safety's exclusive provider of UAS services, and Total Safety will serve as the exclusive inspection service provider in support of Era's UAS offering.
Paul White, senior vice president commercial, Era, said: ‘The adoption of these technologies is growing rapidly, and its application presents nearly limitless use cases due to numerous available flight platforms and sensory applications.
‘We are excited to partner with Total Safety, a leading company in the safety services industry, and believe that the collaboration will provide unique benefits to our collective customer bases.’
The Caméléon LG UGV includes remote operational capabilities and real-time hazard detection.
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.
