1. Aurora Flight Sciences Develops Adaptive Human-Machine Interface for UAS Operations
Aurora Flight Sciences is developing FARSIGHT (Flexible Adaptations to Remote Supervisory Interfaces for Generalizable Human-autonomy Teams), a new human-machine interface (HMI) enhancing collaboration between humans and autonomous systems.
This HMI uses autonomy to adapt the timing and content of information presented to the human operator, depending on its urgency and the user’s cognitive capacity or real-time needs.
2. Ascent AeroSystems Becomes First U.S. Small UAS Manufacturer with CMMC Level 2
Ascent AeroSystems is the first domestic Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) manufacturer to achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, with a perfect assessment score of 110/110.
This critical compliance certification verifies that Ascent has implemented and validated robust cybersecurity and information-security controls to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It also underscores the company’s readiness to meet the Department of Defense’s (DoD) increasing demand for secure, NDAA-compliant UAS platforms across aerospace, defense, and government missions.
3. Red Cat’s FANG™ FPV Drone System Achieves Blue UAS Cleared List Certification
The FANG™ FPV drone system by Red Cat Holdings, a developer of aerial intelligence and situational awareness technologies, has been officially added to the Department of War’s Blue UAS Cleared List.
The Blue UAS designation confirms that the complete FANG system meets the Pentagon’s highest standards for cybersecurity, supply chain integrity, and operational trustworthiness. This full certification makes the system eligible for streamlined acquisition by the Department of War and other federal agencies without the need for additional cybersecurity approvals or sourcing waivers.
4. EIZO Reveals New 3U VPX SBC Series Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor
EIZO Rugged Solutions Inc. has developed the Condor Thor 3U VPX series, a new family of SOSA® aligned rugged Single Board Computers (SBCs) accelerated by the NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform.
The Condor Thor 3U VPX series is designed for real-time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms, uncrewed systems, and rugged edge computing environments where Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) constraints and low-latency are critical.
5. DeltaQuad Signs LOI with Dutch Ministry of Defence to Scale Evo VTOL UAV Production
DeltaQuad has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Dutch Ministry of Defence on 6th October 2025 for the development and production of its Vertical Take Off and Landing VTOL Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
The agreement was signed at VDL Groep’s production site in Born, where the Ministry also announced its long-term strategic partnership with VDL Groep and separate agreements with Milrem Robotics and Tulip Tech for other defense equipment.
