1. Official Launch of Orus L Gremsy’s Next-Generation Spherical Drone Payload
Gremsy, a leading developer of gimbal and payload technology for drones, has officially launched the Orus L, the first in a new series of high-performance spherical payloads designed for demanding uncrewed aerial applications.
Combining aerodynamic efficiency, rugged durability, and powerful onboard AI capabilities, the Orus L introduces a new design standard for drone payloads used in inspection, security, and autonomous operations. The system represents a major step forward in Gremsy’s long-term strategy to deliver adaptable payload solutions for evolving mission requirements.
2. WOLF Expands Rugged Embedded Systems with Jetson Thor Platform
WOLF is advancing its product portfolio with a new line of rugged embedded systems powered by the NVIDIA® Jetson Thor™ platform, designed to meet the growing demands of edge AI and autonomous applications.
The NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform delivers a significant leap forward in Artificial Intelligence computing at the edge, engineered to support next-generation autonomous systems, generative AI workloads, and real-time multi-sensor fusion.
3. PDW UAS Demonstration Showcases Precision Fire Support Capabilities
Performance Drone Works (PDW) and the U.S. Department of Defense recently conducted an organic unmanned aerial system (UAS) fire support demonstration, achieved through the PDW C100 in conjunction with the F-35A Lightning II multirole stealth fighter.
Equipped with the Leonardo STAG5 Laser Target Designator (LTD), the C100 successfully guided four inert GBU-12 precision munitions released from the F-35 to predetermined targets. This exercise showcased the ability of an operator to safely mark targets from a standoff range using the C100 for joint fires capabilities without the need for supporting aircraft.
4. NASA Supports AlarisPro in Building Advanced UAS Digital Twin Framework
AlarisPro, a leader in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) fleet management and safety solutions, has received an SBIR award from NASA, supporting development of a next-generation Artificial Intelligence Safety and Reliability (AISR) Digital Twin framework.
As UAS traffic increases, so does the demand for smarter, data-driven safety oversight. AlarisPro’s solution integrates artificial intelligence, high-fidelity sensor data, and component degradation modeling to build a real-time prognostic system. This digital twin maintains a live, synchronized representation of its physical UAS counterpart, continuously learning and adapting through advanced AI techniques including transfer learning and anomaly detection.
5. Ground Control Unveils Iridium Certus 100 Airtime Plans for BVLOS Drone Connectivity
Ground Control has introduced Iridium Certus 100 airtime plans designed for drone applications, providing reliable connectivity for missions across various industries.
Ground Control’s airtime plans capitalize on its decades-long partnership with Iridium to provide data bundles that scale from single drone deployments to larger fleets. Whether customers prefer monthly subscriptions, pay-as-you-go options, or annual commitments, each plan features transparent rates, with volume discounts available for larger-scale operations.
