14 Aug 25. Lithuania build nine drone training centres by 2028. The project will host 15,500 thousand adults and 7,000 children will acquire drone control skills. In Lithuania, the Ministries of National Defence and Education, Science and Sports are launching a drone control and construction skills development project for the general public and schoolchildren. The first three drone training centres will open in Jonava, Tauragė and Kėdainiai in September 2025, and by 2028, another nine centers will be operating throughout Lithuania. The project will support 15,500 thousand adults and 7,000 children acquire drone control skills through the implementation of the training programme. This programme aims to strengthen public competences in the fields of drone control and engineering, while expanding civil resistance training. The training for adults will be conducted under the auspices of the Lithuanian Riflemen’s Union together with the Lithuanian Non-Formal Education Agency, which will also train students from grades three to 12. Programme content will be tailored to different age groups. Over the course of one school year, as many as 300 students in one region will gain drone piloting and construction skills. Ukrainians have come to familarise themselves of these types of skills with instructional courses via the Zoom video application and producing drones from small and discreet warehouses, converted barns, cellars, or even their own living rooms according to a GlobalData analyst briefing. The youngest – students in grades three to four – will be engaged in the construction and piloting of simple drones through practical experiments and games. Meanwhile, in junior high schools, students will be taught an introduction to programming and piloting first-person view (FPV) drones indoors and building from components. High school students will design and manufacture 3D drone parts, learn to construct and pilot FPV drones, and participate in regional and national competitions.
“Unmanned aerial vehicle technologies are now an integral part not only of science and industry, but also of everyday life,” noted Valdas Jankauskas, Director of the Lithuanian Non-Formal Education Agency. “We are launching this project to give the younger generation the opportunity to get to know this field from an early age.
“Such programmes develop not only technical skills, but also creativity, the ability to solve problems and a responsible attitude towards the use of technology. I am convinced that these skills will be valuable both for future engineers and for every civically active person,” he empasised.
Total investment in the project amounts to more than €3.3m ($3.8m), of which the Ministry of National Defence will allocate more than €600,000 for the establishment of the nine forthcoming centres. (Source: army-technology.com)
14 Aug 25. Mexico-US: US surveillance drone flight over México state will decrease regional tensions. On 13 August, a US Air Force drone conducted a two-hour reconnaissance flight over the Valle del Bravo/ Tejupilco area (México state). Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection Omar García Harfuch stated that the Mexican authorities requested the US drone flight to assist in unspecified investigations. The aircraft used was a General Atomics MQ-9B SkyGuardian. High-profile members of the Michoacán Family Cartel reportedly operate in the surveilled area. In February, US President Donald Trump designated the New Michoacán Family as a foreign terrorist organisation (FTO). The drone flight comes after Trump signed a directive authorising the use of military force against Latin American cartels designated as FTOs. Although we assess that US military action in Mexico is unlikely in the short-to-medium term, the directive will likely push Mexico City to increase co-operation with Washington DC to combat cartels (see Sibylline Special Report – 24 June 2025). In the near term, Mexico’s request for US drone flights will decrease bilateral tensions. However, cartels will possibly increase attacks against civilians to protest increasing US involvement in Mexican security operations, heightening physical security risks. (Source: Sibylline)
13 Aug 25. Amid shakeup, Army plans to replace Gray Eagle and Shadow drones. After the Army Transformation Initiative shook up drone plans, the service wants a replacement for older Gray Eagles in 2028 and the Shadow in 2026, according to a service official. Soldiers inside divisions and brigades will not be left without replacements for Gray Eagle and RQ-7B Shadow drones, according to a US Army leader who says new plans to replace both are in the works. Since the service unveiled its Army Transformation Initiative (ATI) in May, questions have swirled about the path ahead for both since it halted future buys of General Atomics’ Gray Eagle drone and cancelled the Future Tactical Uncrewed Aircraft System (FTUAS) competition designed to replace the now shelved Shadow fleet. Col. Nick Ryan, director of the Army Capability Manager for Unmanned Aircraft Systems, told reporters today that plans are shaping up to acquire new drones for both echelons. The evolving plan, according to Ryan, is to keep the newer Gray Eagles, which are medium-altitude, long endurance aircraft made by General Atomics, in inventory and upgrade them, while phasing out the older variants around the fiscal 2028 timeframe. To make sure division commanders still have reconnaissance, surveillance, targeting, and acquisition drones, the Army wants to buy a new group 4 or 5 platform that doesn’t necessarily need a runway. After releasing a request for information in June 2024, Ryan now expects senior leaders to make a final requirements decision in the next two to three months so that the service can begin fielding the short takeoff and landing (STOL)/ vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft with a “target date” of FY28.
“What actually happens, what actually is approved, what actually is funded could play out differently,” Ryan said.
While Ryan did not discuss details of a forthcoming competition, in September 2024 another Army official told Breaking Defense that there were more than 10 responses to that RFI, and General Atomics spokesman C. Mark Brinkley has previously said his company at least is all in for a potential competition.
“We were excited to see the RFI, and happy to respond with details and plans for our Gray Eagle 25M and Gray Eagle STOL aircraft,” Brinkley wrote in a statement to Breaking Defense last year. “General Atomics envisions Gray Eagle 25M and Gray Eagle STOL as a true 1-2 punch for Army aviation moving into the future.”
As Army officials pave the path ahead for a new division-level drone, Ryan said the brigades are not being left out.
“ATI obviously stopped the Future Tactical UAS program, and then we’ve already been without a Shadow for a couple years now. So, brigades don’t have a capability at this time,” Ryan said. “[But], the requirement for a brigade to have that type of capability for an unmanned aircraft system is still valid and still exists.”
Soldiers used the more tactical Shadow, a group 3 UAS that’s smaller than a Gray Eagle, for a couple of decades for everything from reconnaissance and surveillance to targeting.
While the FTUAS program had encountered delays over the years, drone-makers Griffon and Textron were vying for the contract when the service dropped the axe on the competition. Despite the cancellation there was an “appetite” to find the right solution at a quicker clip, according to Ryan.
So, service leaders decided to lean on an already existing brigade UAS directed requirement designed to rapidly field a commercial-off-the-shelf solution instead of the FTUAS program of record.
“We reopened the competition and allowed the two vendors from FTUAS — which was Griffin and Textron — [and] allowed them to also enter that competition and compete against the other vendors,” Ryan explained.
Before the service announces the winner or winners, senior Army leaders need to sign off on the plan and ensure funding is in place. That decision could come quickly, and the service could begin buying the new drones in fiscal 2026, while it looks for future platforms to fill the brigade’s needs.
“Most likely group 3 UAS will be kind of a tranche one capability. But then we already rapidly planning to iterate,” he added. “What does tranche two look like? What does tranche three, … tranche four look like?” (Source: Breaking Defense.com)
12 Aug 25. Hoverfly Technologies announces the launch of the Hoverfly NEXUS (Network Extension of Unmanned Systems) capability after its successful deployment during Tough Stump Rodeo 2025. Designed to redefine operational efficiency in modern warfare, NEXUS extends MANET radio C2 networks and the operational range of uncrewed systems, delivering next-generation situational awareness, ISR, targeting, and lethality.
Learn more about this revolutionary capability at hoverflytech.com/nexus
Hoverfly Technologies announces NEXUS – redefining the command and control of unmanned systems.
For years, Hoverfly has provided mission-critical, on-demand situational awareness for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and has secured itself as the official Variable Height Antenna (VHA) for the U.S. Army’s Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) and NETT Warrior situational awareness tools. With the introduction of NEXUS, Hoverfly goes beyond extending tactical networks and ATAK data communications—now enabling a seamless integration of unmanned platforms across land, air, and sea.
“Our tethered UAS have already become essential tools for warfighters by significantly extending MANET radio networks,” said Steve Walters, CEO of Hoverfly Technologies. “With the launch of NEXUS, we’re taking the next step, allowing warfighters to extend the range of all uncrewed systems—whether they be UASs, UGVs, or USVs, and dramatically increase capabilities for ISR and targeting at the tactical edge.”
This development aligns with the SecDef’s announcement to prioritize drone dominance and American UAS Technology. Additionally, NEXUS is not exclusive to Hoverfly products—enabling cross-platform integrations from any number of unmanned technologies. The goal is to unite multiple unmanned technologies under a single command and control network, allowing a single Warfighter to deploy Hoverfly TeUAS, recon distant areas with free-flying drones, and dispatch loitering munitions or FPV UAS with unencumbered force multiplication.
EXPONENTIAL EXTENSION
At the Tough Stump Rodeo, Hoverfly demonstrated this turnkey solution with partner Teal Drones, integrating their Black Widow™ small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) into the NEXUS ecosystem and enabling extended flight communication via Hoverfly TeUAS. This collaboration comes as Teal Drones secures the U.S. Army’s Short-Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program of Record.
By integrating the Black Widow™ command and control into a UXV radio module and connecting this network control directly through the Hoverfly TeUAS, operators were able to achieve range extension of three to four times the typical flight range. With developments in extended battery life for SRRs and optimized antenna configurations, Hoverfly hopes to exceed ten times the standard range for these drones.
Hoverfly continues to work with Teal and Red Cat technologies to harmonize the operation of a fleet of unmanned systems extended from Hoverfly VHAs. Other collaborators include AV, Kutta Technologies, Doodle Labs, Ghost Robotics and many of the vehicle OEMs. As they progress to a Program of Record, Hoverfly is eager to redefine robotic ecosystems and advance the U.S. Military’s goals of operational efficiency and enhanced lethality.
Key Features of Hoverfly NEXUS:
- Extended Unmanned System Range: Hoverfly NEXUS empowers warfighters with universal control of uncrewed systems as a persistent and reliable relay at 200 ft. Through MANET radios or other common C2 communication networks, Hoverfly TeUAS can extend the normal ranges of uncrewed systems two to three times farther and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), extending stand-off ranges, while operators can be buttoned up in armored vehicles or in a covered position.
- Mountable, Tactically Repositionable Backbone: The lightweight, modular Hoverfly tethered system can be easily mounted on manned or unmanned vehicles and vessels, backhauling critical data and providing commanders with enhanced battlefield awareness, all while remaining discrete with no RF emission.
- 200-Foot Elevated C2, ISR and Targeting: The NEXUS concept deploys Hoverfly TeUAS above treetops and ground clutter, enhancing situational awareness, and extending the operational range of the host system and other robotic systems on the network. The system can be deployed in 90 seconds to give a 200 ft view of the battlefield, greatly enhancing the warfighter’s capability to perform C2, ISR and targeting, giving sensor-to-shooter capability at the tactical edge.
- Open Architecture Integration: MOSA compliant and built to work seamlessly with a variety of sensors, payloads, and platforms, Hoverfly’s NEXUS supports evolving military technologies and can adapt to future operational demands as a multi-mission and cross domain tactical asset.
- Support for Any Manned or Unmanned Platform: Whether used with micro drones or larger robotic systems, NEXUS serves as the central link to unify and extend networks in increasingly complex battle scenarios.
SOLUTION AND PRODUCTIZATION
Hoverfly is also launching NEXUS as one of its turnkey solution packages under their new HIVE product suite (Hoverfly ISR | VHA | EW). The mission-ready package has three different configuration tiers, with a wide-array of technologies available in each tailored loadout. Potential customers can now easily acquire NEXUS with expeditious procurement through HIVE and Hoverfly’s recently granted Authority to Operate (ATO) across all DoD entities.
By enabling the continuous extension of communication networks and interlinking unmanned systems across domains, Hoverfly NEXUS ensures warfighters and their machines remain connected, agile, and informed – offering a robust new solution that supports the growing role of robotic systems on the battlefield. With its launch, Hoverfly continues to set new benchmarks for resilient network solutions, revolutionizing the reach and reliability of unmanned systems. (Source: PR Newswire)
13 Aug 25. Serco, the international provider of critical services to governments, announced today that the USX-1 Defiant, its groundbreaking prototype vessel for the No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS) programme, was launched by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The ceremony took place at Everett Ship Repair in Everett, Washington, signalling a pivotal moment in Serco’s future of naval architecture and autonomous operations. The USX-1 Defiant represents a radical departure from traditional ship design, conceived from the keel up with no provision or expectation for human crew. This “clean-sheet” approach aims to deliver unprecedented advantages in size, cost, at-sea reliability, hydrodynamic efficiency, and survivability, ultimately enabling a new class of highly capable and cost-effective unmanned surface vessels (USVs). Following its launch, the USX-1 Defiant will begin a multi-month at-sea demonstration of its reliability and endurance. The programme aims to validate the core NOMARS concept, paving the way for significant advancements in unmanned naval capabilities.
Anthony Kirby, Serco Group Chief Executive, said: “Defiant marks a first in naval ship design and ushers in an exciting new stage for the NOMARS programme and the US Navy. We are incredibly proud to have played our part in developing genuinely groundbreaking new capabilities for the Navy in vessel autonomy and at-sea refuelling. This watershed is the first time a ship has been designed entirely without human crew members in mind, a significant step towards the US Navy’s ambition of a fleet of USVs capable of operating in contested waters and other dangerous environments without putting the lives of human sailors at risk. With increasing geopolitical tensions driving defence spending across the globe, Serco stands ready to support navies and militaries as they expand their capabilities while safeguarding the security of citizens.”
Defence is a large and growing part of Serco’s portfolio, accounting for over 80% of our order intake in the first half of 2025. This continues our momentum in the defence sector, with successes this year including:

11 Aug 25. European Drone Technology.
Executive summary
- Drone technology is fuelling emerging risks such as the civilian ‘auditing’ of private businesses and urban exploration of critical infrastructure.
- Organised crime groups (OCGs) are highly likely using drones to evade law enforcement and scale up their operations across Europe and globally.
- There is currently limited evidence of terrorist adoption of drones in Europe; low-sophistication instruments such as knives and vehicles will likely remain the preferred weapons of choice.
- Suspected Russian drone espionage in Germany and Chinese dominance in the civilian drone market point to the UK and Europe’s lagging counter-measures and strategic planning against evolving state-sponsored threats.
- The war in Ukraine is likely providing various threat actors with the opportunity to gain valuable drone operational experience; this risk will possibly increase in a post-war scenario.
Context
Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a rapidly proliferating technology and present a plethora of opportunities, risks and threats. On the risk side, the rapid evolution of drone warfare in Ukraine is slowly but simultaneously reshaping the threat landscape in European jurisdictions that are not directly embroiled in conflict. The growth of the commercial drone sector has also significantly increased the availability of this equipment. Activists, organised crime groups (OCGs), terrorists and states are (to varying degrees) adopting drones to enhance their capabilities and expand their activities; drones represent a major ‘force multiplier’ to certain threat actors’ capabilities. Meanwhile, ongoing conflicts, particularly the Russo-Ukrainian war and hostilities in the Middle East and the Sahel, heighten the risk that military-grade drone technology and expertise will proliferate beyond the battlefield. This expansion is driving security threats due to misuse and nefarious activities, as well as presenting significant regulatory challenges for states.
In this Special Report, we assess various threat actors’ confirmed and potential use of drone technology, and how this alters the security landscape and poses new threats and risks to businesses across Europe.

11 Aug 25. US Marines Test Long Range UAS for Future Operations.
The Navy and Marine Corps Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMA-263) program team put Long Range Tactical (LRT) systems through their paces during a two-week technical demonstration in Chaptico, Maryland in mid-July.
Five vendors attended the event to help inform the Marine Corpsof the functions and capabilities available on the commercialmarket for the Family of Small UAS (FoSUAS). The five systems evaluated include: AeroVironment P550, Kraus-Hamdani K1000 ULE Block II, Aurora Skiron X, Edge Autonomy Stalker LRT, and Vector Longbow.
All systems are fixed wing, vertical take-off and landing Group 2 unmanned systems. In addition to basic measurements, the vendors collected performance data for ease of operation, audibility, range, and endurance while carrying the maximum payload requirement of seven pounds.
PMA-263’s FoSUAS team, in partnership with the University of Maryland (UMD) UAS test site, evaluated each system against a standard test card to determine its suitability for the MarineCorps LRT requirements. UMD’s team of evaluators are experienced drone pilots, experts in their field and some, have military service, including program director Jim Alexander.
“This is a great relationship for the University of Maryland and PMA-263,” said Alexander, who has worked with the program office for nine years for technical evaluation events like the LRT tech demonstration. “Our job is to serve as an impartial third party; but in the process, we get to learn new systems, and the Navy is able to collect a lot of data in a short amount of time.”
The Small UAS Capabilities and the Deputy Commandant for Plans, Policies and Operations team and PMA-263’s team attended the event and had the opportunity to engage directly with the participating vendors and to observe the flight demonstrations.
“Flight demonstration events like this are a critical market research function for the PMA and help us to validate performance data reported by vendors,” said Olivia Douglass, PMA-263 FoSUAS Integrated Product Team lead. “We would love to see all the vendors meet the requirements; it translates into options for the government and options for the end users. We want to see industry taking an interest in recognizing end user requirements and using that as a driving factor in improving their systems.”
PMA-263 will use University of Maryland UAS test site’s assessment data and observer feedback from the event to inform the program’s priorities for follow-on engineering assessments, potential for operational testing, and inclusion of new platforms within the FoSUAS programs of record.

11 Aug 25. New Russian Shahed-type Drones Packed with Chinese Technology. Ukrainian drone interceptor unit Posipaky has successfully shot down two new Russian Shahed-type unmanned aerial vehicles, volunteer Serhiy Sternenko reported, publishing video footage of one of the intercepts. Ukrainian intelligence officials previously identified these drones as potential reconnaissance assets and decoy targets designed to reveal Ukrainian air defense positions or overload defense systems. The aircraft reportedly can also carry a warhead weighing up to 15 kilograms. The drone’s fuselage features a delta-wing configuration similar to the Shahed-136 but significantly smaller in dimensions. Most components used in this Russian UAV are of Chinese origin, according to Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate.
“Almost half of them: flight controller with autopilot, navigation modules and antennas, air speed sensor and Pitot tube – from one Chinese company CUAV Technology, which specializes in research, development and production of system modules and applications for UAVs,”
The drone is also equipped with a Chinese copy of the Australian RFD900x data transmission module manufactured by RFDesign. Like the original sample, the Chinese product is designed for long-range data transmission up to 40 kilometers in direct line of sight, depending on the antenna. This device enables data transmission channels from the drone to its ground station or between UAVs, thereby expanding reconnaissance capabilities. The Shahed-type drone is fitted with a Chinese DLE-60 engine and electronic ignition module. The intercepts highlight ongoing Ukrainian efforts to counter evolving Russian drone technology that increasingly relies on Chinese-manufactured components for critical flight systems and communication equipment. In October 2022, CUAV Technology announced restrictions on supplying its products to both Ukraine and Russia to prevent their use in military applications. However, in 2023, Russia presented a vertical takeoff drone as an original development, which turned out to be a CUAV product available on Aliexpress. Militarnyi notes that DLE engines were previously used by Russian developers in the Gerbera and Parodiia decoy drones. KST servos have appeared in the Shahed-136 drones, V2U, aerial bomb glide kits.

08 Aug 25. Russia Unveils New MiS-150 Drone to Replace Failed Predecessor. Russia has introduced a new unmanned aerial vehicle, the MiS-150, a heavier and more capable version of its earlier MiS-35 drone, which reportedly failed to meet expectations on the battlefield. The original MiS-35—a hexacopter equipped with 82mm mortar rounds and PG-7 anti-tank projectiles—was widely promoted by Russian sources in 2024 as a compact strike drone, often compared to Ukraine’s “Baba Yaga” platform. However, in operational use, Russian forces reportedly employed the MiS-35 for logistical rather than combat purposes in 70% of missions, due to its limited payload capacity. In response, Russia’s MiS design bureau developed the MiS-150, a larger drone designed to carry out offensive operations. With a maximum payload capacity of 15 kilograms—up from 4.5 kilograms in the previous model—the MiS-150 is intended to deliver heavier munitions such as TM-62 anti-tank mines. For comparison, if the smaller drone had a maximum payload of 4.5 kg and a recommended one of 3.5 kg, then for the “MiS-150” it increased to 15 kg, and the range increased from 9 to 12 km. It is noted that the MyS-150 will receive the ‘Guide’ system, which allows the drone to ‘leave’ the range of electronic warfare systems. (Source: UAS VISION/Defence Express; UNITED24MEDIA)
08 Aug 25. Reliable Robotics and NASA Partner to Advance Scalability of Large Remotely Piloted Aircraft Integration. Reliable Robotics has announced a new partnership with NASA under a Space Act Agreement (SAA) to support the integration of large Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System (NAS). Through joint collaboration, NASA and Reliable Robotics will address emergent UAS capabilities for air cargo operations and air transportation at scale.

Under the SAA, Reliable will work with NASA to develop three major aircraft autonomy simulation activities: human-in-the-loop detect and avoid (DAA); lost command and control (C2) Link; and interactions as aircraft enter and depart airports. The research will assess the automation required for the safe and efficient integration of large numbers of UAS into national air space for cargo operations at scale.
“Our joint work with NASA brings us closer to a future where autonomous aircraft integrate seamlessly with, and provide safety benefits to, the national airspace system,” said Robert Rose, CEO and Co-Founder, Reliable Robotics. “By working closely with NASA’s experts and its unique simulation capabilities, we can validate techniques and procedures that will be necessary in the future to improve the safety of UAS and operation of UAS at higher densities across airspaces.”
This comprehensive collaboration will include joint research, data collection, contributions to standards development, test planning, procedures development, system integration, and both human-in-the-loop (HITL) and fast-time simulations. The partnership will facilitate crucial information exchanges between Reliable Robotics and NASA, and comes on the heels of previous joint work to conduct extensive DAA testing to validate the use of existing surveillance radars to detect and avoid aircraft, and to collect surveillance radar data as part of NASA’s broad portfolio of work on Advanced Air Mobility. Additionally, Reliable Robotics is working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to demonstrate a viable, near-term, comprehensive DAA system for UAS in controlled and uncontrolled airspace, through all phases of flight, with the goal of collecting data to validate consensus standards.
