Explore UST’s round-up of the five most read articles this week, covering new technologies, innovative partnerships, and industry successes.
1. Partnership to Enhance Raybird UAS with Advanced Military Sensor Technology
Ukrainian-born aviation manufacturer Skyeton and next-generation defense prime Harmattan AI have announced a strategic partnership focused on integrating Harmattan AI’s advanced military sensor technology with Skyeton’s flagship Raybird UAS.
This collaboration is designed to accelerate Raybird’s adoption in global markets by integrating key technological know-how between the French and Ukrainian defense industries. The partnership builds on Skyeton’s nearly two decades of engineering expertise in unmanned aviation and Harmattan AI’s proven approach to autonomous and scalable intelligent robotics systems.
2. Gremsy Integrates Edge AI Solution to Enhance Drone Payload Performance
Gremsy, a leading manufacturer of gimbal and payload stabilizers for drones and UAVs, has selected the TAA- and NDAA-compliant Edge AI solution from Lantronix Inc., a global leader in computer and connectivity IoT solutions.
This collaboration provides a secure, powerful, and energy-efficient compute backbone for Gremsy’s gimbal systems, specifically designed for drone integrators utilizing the FLIR Hadron 640R and the Gremsy Lynx ISR payload.
3. Expanding the Frontiers of Maritime Intelligence and Security at Maritime ISR 2025
Defence IQ’s Maritime ISR 2025 Conference, taking place 28–29 October 2025, at the Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, UK, will convene senior naval leaders, policymakers, and industry pioneers to address the technologies and strategies driving the next era of maritime surveillance and security. As the maritime domain grows increasingly contested, maintaining intelligence dominance has never been more vital.
Recent developments underscore the urgency of advancing ISR capabilities. Exail has secured a major defence contract for five DriX H-8 Uncrewed Surface Vehicles, the largest deployment of its kind to date, signalling the rapid integration of autonomous platforms into ISR operations.
4. Hydrogen-Powered Long-Endurance Drones Expand Survey Capabilities
Cellen has partnered with Enthusiast Hydrogen Corporation to pioneer aerial detection and mapping of naturally occurring hydrogen in the United States. The collaboration leverages Cellen’s hydrogen-powered H2-6 UAS and Enthusiast Hydrogen’s LDLARS sensor technology to enable long-duration, large-scale surveys that were previously impractical.
The mission is to prospect for natural hydrogen by mapping atmospheric gas concentrations from ground sources. Traditional detection methods are limited in scale, but by integrating LDLARS sensors onto the H2-6, the companies can conduct extensive aerial surveys, capturing hydrogen levels alongside terrain and environmental data.
5. Simpulse Proves Anti-Jamming Technology in Long-Range Flight Test
Simpulse, a French specialist in high-performance radio links, has demonstrated high-definition video transmission over a distance of more than 200km. This achievement was made possible by the SL300 radio link, which features anti-jamming technology and is based on the company’s proprietary Software Defined Radio (SDR).
To conduct this demonstration, Simpulse utilized the expertise and airborne resources of the Multimodal Airborne Engineering Platform (PIMA) at the Institute of Electronics and Digital Technologies (IETR) in Rennes, a public laboratory affiliated with the CNRS.
