1. UAS Startups Begin Their Journeys with Largest Accelerator for Uncrewed Systems
Five inventive Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) companies set up offices in Syracuse, NY this fall as they begin the yearlong GENIUS NY accelerator program, operated by CenterState CEO and funded by Empire State Development.
As the world’s largest business accelerator program for uncrewed systems, GENIUS NY provides finalists with funding support, state-of-the-art resources and access to Central New York’s robust UAS ecosystem. Following decades of steady investment in the industry, Central New York now stands as one of the global leaders in UAS technology.
2. ZIYAN Launches F15 UAV Docking Station for Fully Autonomous Operations
ZIYAN, an innovator in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology, has launched the F15 UAV Docking Station, a next-generation autonomous operations platform.
Engineered specifically for the ZIYAN F15, a long-endurance electric helicopter UAV, the new docking station is designed to provide round-the-clock mission readiness, intelligent maintenance, and seamless data management. The docking station integrates automated precision landing, battery charging, data transfer, and environmental monitoring, ensuring optimal operational performance even in harsh conditions.
3. Dynautics Develops Phantom 2 to Expand Unmanned Subsea Capabilities
Dynautics has launched the Phantom 2, a new modular Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) designed to meet industry demands for enhanced subsea operational capabilities.
Modular UUV technology is central to performing the diverse range of offshore tasks required today, enabling vehicles to accommodate different payloads and operate at various depths for extended periods with minimal downtime. The Phantom 2 builds upon the success of its predecessor, the Phantom 1, which was originally developed for the US Navy.
4. Tactical UAS & Hyperspectral Sensor Integration Boosts Long-Range ISR Capabilities
TEKEVER and ARKEUS have successfully completed a joint integration and flight test campaign, proving the full compatibility and mission-readiness of the companies respective technologies.
The collaboration brings together TEKEVER’s AR3 EVO tactical Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and ARKEUS’ Warden Hyperspectral Optical Radar (HSOR). The demonstration confirmed the operational benefits of combining the modular, shipborne-capable AR3 EVO with the Warden HSOR, enabling real-time detection, classification, and long-range tracking across maritime, littoral, and overland theatres, even in low-visibility or electromagnetically contested environments.
5. Iridium Launches Miniature PNT ASIC for Resilient Timing and Navigation
Iridium Communications Inc. has advanced the security of GPS and other GNSS-reliant devices against jamming, spoofing, and timing interruptions with the launch of a dedicated, miniature Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), the Iridium® PNT ASIC.
The Iridium PNT ASIC, engineered for seamless integration into a wide range of electronic devices, will deliver authenticated, pole-to-pole Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) data. It will provide a resilient alternative to traditional GNSS, offering protection against spoofing and jamming for consumer, industrial, and government applications.
