Explore UST’s round-up of our five most read articles in the industry this week, including new technologies, innovations from DSEI, and industry successes.
1. Swarm Grade MANET for Expendable Drones Showcased at DSEI
Meshmerize will be demonstrating how its MANET software stack is now available pre-integrated with leading WiFi radio platforms, at DSEI 2025 in London. The goal: make reliable swarm communications simple, cost-effective, and ready to deploy.
Meshmerize was built from the ground up for UAV swarms and mobile robotics. Its design addresses the core limitations of conventional meshes:
2. TEKEVER Launches New AR3 Evolution UAS at DSEI 2025
TEKEVER has unveiled the AR3 Evolution (AR3 EVO), its most advanced and adaptable unmanned aerial system (UAS) to date and the latest development in the company’s AR3 family.
Launched at DSEI 2025, Stand S1-340, the AR3 EVO expands on the company’s portfolio to support the creation of sovereign defense capabilities. As the UK and Europe look to bolster their armed forces, the AR3 EVO aims to ensure allied nations remain at the cutting edge of next-generation autonomy.
3. New Coaxial Drone Technology with Extended Range & Increased Payload Capacity
At Commercial UAV Expo 2025 in Las Vegas, Ascent AeroSystems introduced SPARTAN, the next-generation evolution of its NX30 coaxial UAV platform.
Purpose-built for defense, public safety, industrial, and agricultural missions, SPARTAN sets a new benchmark for performance, reliability, and versatility in a compact, portable system designed for professional operators and integrators.
4. Ultra Motion & Embention Collaborate for Enhanced Unmanned Vehicle Control
Ultra Motion, a company specializing in high-precision electro-mechanical linear and rotary servo actuators, has partnered with Embention, a leading developer of autopilots and components for unmanned systems.
Ultra Motion’s Servo Cylinder, L-Series, and T-Series actuators are engineered for environments where durability, precision, and real-time feedback cannot be compromised. When integrated with Embention’s Veronte Autopilots, these actuators provide the foundation for reliable, responsive, and redundant control in UAV, USV, and more advanced autonomous systems.
5. ARK Electronics Unveils New UAV Distance Sensor Modules
ARK Electronics has launched the ARK DIST SR and ARK DIST MR, two new distance sensor modules designed for high-performance short-range and mid-range rangefinding applications. Both models are manufactured in the United States, meet NDAA compliance requirements, and feature CAN and UART interfaces.
The compact, low-SWaP rangefinders are equipped with DroneCAN and MAVLink connectivity options, provide ROS2 support, and are supplied with both a 4-pin Pixhawk Standard CAN cable and a 6-pin Pixhawk Standard UART cable for immediate integration.
