Exail to supply Caméléon unmanned demining robots to Belgium Armed Forces
The Caméléon LG UGV includes remote operational capabilities and real-time hazard detection.
GeoFIT Americas has purchased SimActive’s Correlator3D software, SimActive announced on 22 March. The software will be used for image processing from UAS in mapping projects.
The Correlator3D software is a photogrammetry solution that generates geospatial data from satellite and aerial imagery collected by assets including UAS. The software performs aerial triangulation and generates digital terrain models, digital surface models, point clouds, orthomosaics and vectorised 3D features to support the rapid production of large datasets.
Sylvain Laroche, operations director, GeoFIT Americas, said: ‘With our acquisition of a high-end drone, we needed comparable software to complete our solution. Following analysis of various solutions on the market, the SimActive product rapidly emerged as our choice.'
Philippe Simard, president, SimActive, said: ‘Groupe FIT has been at the forefront of the European photogrammetry market for decades. SimActive remains the only viable solution for this category, justifying the quick selection of Correlator3D by GeoFIT Americas.’

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.
