05 Sept 24. New Polish Drone can Reach Moscow. During the International Defense Industry Exhibition (MSPO) 2024, taking place in Kielce, WB GROUP presents a new concept of the Warmate 50 strike drone. The Polish drone attracts attention with its size.
The Warmate 50, as its name suggests, is equipped with a 50-kilogram warhead. This is a significant improvement over previous versions of the Warmate drones, which had a smaller payload but were also more flexible. Unlike its predecessors, the Warmate 50 does not have the ability to replace the warhead. This type of approach aims to maximize combat effectiveness at the expense of the flexibility of surveillance functions. It is therefore an unmanned aerial vehicle designed exclusively for strike missions. The new model will be powered by a combustion engine, which will allow it to hit targets hundreds of kilometers away.
Warmate 50 is a development of the previous version – Warmate 20, which has already gained fame on the international stage. Russian media, such as TopWar, commented on the Warmate 20 concepts, noting that Poland is trying to create competition for the Russian Lancet. According to them, Poland is trying to create an “analogue of something that has no analogue”.
Warmate 50 is an example of a solution that is becoming increasingly dominant on the modern battlefield. Thanks to its powerful warhead and long range, the drone can significantly strengthen the operational capabilities of the Polish armed forces, especially in the context of precise strikes on strategic targets.

30 Aug 24. US FCC adopts initial rules for drone operations in the 5 GHz Band. The US Federal Communications Commission has adopted new rules to enable initial drone operations in the 5 GHz spectrum band for wireless communications necessary to safely control the flights of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS).
“The use of UAS in the United States is growing quickly: during this decade, UAS operations are expected to triple in terms of the number of devices and see the market expand into in the tens of bns of dollars,” said the FCC in a press release. “These tools are aiding in search and rescue missions, helping farmers, inspecting infrastructure, delivering medicine, and even gathering news.
“We are already starting to live in the future we’ve long imagined: uncrewed aircraft systems are fighting wildfires, supporting news gathering, delivering packages, and supporting national security,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.
This action establishes initial service rules that allow operators to obtain direct frequency assignments in a portion of the 5030-5091 MHz band for non-networked operations. The new rules rely on dynamic frequency management systems to manage and coordinate access to the spectrum and enable its safe and efficient use, says the FCC. These management systems provide requesting operators with temporary frequency assignments to support UAS control link communications with a level of reliability suitable for operations in controlled airspace and other safety-critical circumstances.
“To enable operations in the band during the period before the dynamic frequency management systems are in operation, the rules establish an interim access mechanism in which operators seeking to transmit in the band first submit a request to the Federal Aviation Administration for deconfliction and approval, and, upon FAA authorization, complete an online registration form with the Commission. The interim mechanism will be made available to operators after the rules become effective and the Commission has announced by Public Notice that it will begin accepting registrations.
“The Report and Order adopted by a vote of the Commission takes the initial step previewed in the National Spectrum Strategy released in November of 2023, in which the FCC will take near-term action to facilitate initial deployment of UAS in the 5 GHz band, in advance of future study of the band in coordination with National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the FAA. Meanwhile, the Commission will continue to work on future actions it can take to effectively meet the needs of evolving UAS operations.”

30 Aug 24. MARSS C-UAS selected for DEVCOM Middle East exercise. As part of the preparation for a major demonstration of counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) and air defence capabilities, scheduled for later this month at a Middle Eastern experimentation centre, MARSS and partners demonstrated the NiDAR Command and Control (C2) C-UAS system at a shakedown event sponsored by DEVCOM, held at Fort Drum, New York in August.
The AI-powered NiDAR C2 C-UAS system, featuring rapid integration and sensor / effector agnostic capabilities, was demonstrated to an audience including senior US armed forces leaders, allied and domestic personnel and Department of Defense representatives. MARSS has designed the system to reduce the decision cycle between detection, verification and defeat from minutes to seconds. It includes an EO-IR solution from Current Corp that has been specifically developed to provide improved performance and reliability in the Middle East as well as C-UAS radar solutions from both SRC and Echodyne.
The defeat end of the solution was demonstrated by effectors from EOS and Northrop Grumman, connected by a secure Silvus Technologies radio network and integrated into the MARSS NiDAR platform.
Over the course of the shakedown exercise, the system repeatedly defeated Class 1 and 2 drones at ranges approaching one kilometre. Consequently, MARSS has been selected to demonstrate the system to key partners during the Middle East phase of the exercise, which will see MARSS tackle Class 3 fixed-wing drones at longer ranges.

02 Sept 24. US Nuclear Security Administration sets out future C-UAS plans. A United States National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) senior official has spoken of the aerial threat to critical infrastructure that has been made easier by the proliferation of commercially available uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). Acting Principal Deputy Administrator Corey Hinderstein was speaking at the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement Counter-UAS Summit in Arlington, Virginia on August 28.
Hinderstein said the nuclear security enterprise must consider the “third dimension of security”. “Whether by overflight from airplanes, balloons, or satellites orbiting the earth, surveillance of our top-secret sites from the air has been a persistent concern. “No amount of signage or canine patrols along perimeter fences can prevent this type of surveillance.”
Threats to nuclear research facilities posed by UAS are “more evolutionary than revolutionary” Hinderstein said, while adding that the purchase, capabilities, and payload capacity of UAS have become more prolific, and that the deployment of many different types of UAS and payloads during current overseas conflicts could a blueprint for domestic activities in the United States.
She also cautioned that the size of the US nuclear security enterprise’s geographical and physical footprint creates unique vulnerabilities. “The Nevada National Security Site outside of Las Vegas alone is roughly 680 square miles – about half the size of Rhode Island. That’s a large area to monitor, and we take the problem posed by UAS very seriously.
“This is not a hypothetical issue for us. Over three days last October, there were five UAS sightings at the southern border of our Nevada site. Four were detected by a counter-UAS platform that was actually still in the research and testing phase, the fifth was spotted by an employee. They appeared to have been launched from a nearby highway, though law enforcement was not able to determine the origins. We are awake to the challenge, and have been taking concrete steps.”
NNSA’s Office of Defense Nuclear Security currently employs a Counter-UAS (C-UAS) device at four of its eight sites and is upgrading the platforms’ hardware, software, and system library, which will extend the system’s life, add camera and radar capability, and enhance C-UAS capability and protection, Hinderstein told the Summit.
“Looking forward, NNSA is transitioning to a next-generation C-UAS that will employ an open-architecture, systems-based approach to address the evolving threat of uncrewed aircraft systems present to NNSA facilities and personnel. We are seeking integrated tools to provide operators with the information they need to make real-time command and control decisions, plan missions, and deploy assets on a single screen.
“Additionally, the next-generation approach to countering UAS must be extensible, flexible, and adaptive, as well as scalable to hundreds of nodes. Open architecture provides the data integration of open and proprietary sensors to allow NNSA to select the best mitigation capabilities: radio frequency, directed energy, kinetic, and radar. By combining these approaches, NNSA doesn’t rely on a single capability. We can also be more nimble in incorporating advanced technology. This flexibility will allow security planners to customise systems for each lab, plant, and site, based on unique local conditions.”
Hinderstein said that, starting next fiscal year, NNSA will also finalise the development of a permanent facility at the Idaho National Laboratory for C-UAS testing and evaluation. “The effort will help security planners identify possible next-generation solutions, outline continuous testing requirements, and bolster the current system, which is nearing the end of its service life.”
NNSA partners with other agencies and departments – such as the Department of Defense as well as academia and the private sector – to explore new C-UAS approaches and share research.
“US Navy Strategic Systems Programs recently accompanied NNSA’s Office of Defense Nuclear Security to a vendor demonstration of a C-UAS with kinetic capability,” Hinderstein said, citing an example of collaboration. “If the system is eventually procured, it will provide both agencies with the ability to not only detect unauthorised UAS, but also the means to interdict the target and mitigate any threat.”
She added that the NNSA and other stakeholders are also combining legislative efforts to pursue common legal authorities to counter the threat from uncrewed systems. NNSA also collaborates with international partners. Hinderstein said that in fiscal year 2024 alone, NNSA conducted 13 technical exchanges on C-UAS across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East and North Africa, and has collaborated with partners in Europe on four further C-UAS projects.
“One specific example of how this collaboration is bearing is our work with Ukraine. We and experts at Sandia National Laboratories are in the process of testing a kinetic C-UAS that may help Ukrainian counterparts provide additional protection at nuclear power plants, while also analysing domestic experience in hardening nuclear power plants which may have broader application for other critical energy infrastructure in Ukraine. Having completed an initial phase of testing against high-speed drone targets, it was determined that planned testing against larger platforms was no longer needed.
“Another project under development is a Drone Protection Barrier, which has a potential application in hardening response bunkers and other strategic structures to reduce the impact drone-delivered explosives. The team conducted testing of this barrier in August at Idaho National Laboratory.
“We have also funded additional support of the High-Altitude Detection of UAS. The goal of this project is to take the previously developed technology and apply it to detection and tracking of potential threat of UAS near nuclear facilities. Using video imaging systems from commercial satellites or high-altitude UAS, it can detect, localise, and track objects moving towards facilities or locations. The commercial satellite contracts have been successfully put into place. Materials have been purchased and delivered, and building the full systems are in progress. Algorithm and processing work is continuing to progress for upcoming testing.”
In January, the US Department of Energy issued “A Request for Information: Data Standards, Interfaces and Command and Control Capabilities for the Next-Generation Counter Uncrewed Aircraft System (cUAS) Enterprise for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).” The Department said the RFI was the first step in an anticipated large-scale multi-stage acquisition to establish the next-generation, long-term C-UAS enterprise at multiple high security sites.

03 Sept 24. Indian Navy to equip its vessels with defence systems to counter drone swarms. The Indian Navy is to equip its vessels with High Explosive Preformed Fragmentation (HEPF) shells which the Indian Defence Ministry says are capable of neutralising drone swarms. The 30mm HEPF shell has been developed by ARDE, the Pune-based laboratory of India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation.
“The features of HEPF shell are similar to the in-service ammunition (HE/I Shell) so that it can be fired from an existing AK-630 Naval gun,” The Ministry of Defence said in a statement. “The HEPF shell yields better fragmentation lethality than the HE/I shell, making it effective for the neutralisation of drone swarms.”
The HEPF shell hardware is manufactured by three Indian firms, adhering to ARDE specifications and subjected to gun firing proof tests in association with the Naval Armament Inspectorate, Jabalpur. The Ministry of Defence said these test results confirmed the suitability of the HEPF shell for its adaptation in the AK-630. (Source: www.unmannedairspace.info)
29 Aug 24. Aurora Flight Science’s SKIRON-XLE completes a 7 hour endurance flight.

03 Sept 24. Canadian Military Drones will Face Challenges Operating in Arctic. Canada plans to build a facility for its new drones in the Arctic, but will face more than its share of challenges in operating the aircraft in the far north, air force documents show. The Liberal government announced on Dec. 19 that Canada would buy 11 of the remotely piloted aircraft from a U.S. company for $2.5bn.
The new drones will be stationed at 14 Wing Greenwood, N.S., and 19 Wing Comox, B.C. Original plans called for the drones to have their own forward operating location in the Arctic for two of the aircraft as well as maintenance personnel, Royal Canadian Air Force officers told defence analysts in a September 2022 briefing.
But that has since been changed and the robotic aircraft will now be located as needed at a forward operating base in the Arctic with other Royal Canadian Air Force planes. Those bases will receive new or upgraded hangars as part of efforts to modernize NORAD capabilities.
What hasn’t changed are some of the challenges the drones will face in operating in the far north. Potential problems include icy, remote runways, -35 C temperatures and limits on satellite coverage for the region. The satellites are critical in transmitting flight instructions to the drones as well as for sending surveillance and other data from the aircraft.
“Canada’s environment provides unique challenges,” the briefing pointed out.
Additional challenges centre on the lack of experience among Canadian military personnel in operating larger drones, the documents noted.
The drones will be able to carry different weapons, including 250- and 500-pound bombs as well as “low collateral damage” bombs, according to the briefing on the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) program.
Canada is purchasing the General Atomics MQ-9B Reaper for operations both overseas and domestically. The drones could be used on international missions to conduct surveillance and attack targets, while at home they would have a role on sovereignty patrols, surveillance of large events and gathering information in support of responses to natural disasters, according to the briefing.
The drones were originally expected to be delivered in 2025, but that will be delayed until 2028 as modifications are made to the aircraft to deal with Arctic conditions.
“The need to operate at high northern latitudes, including in the Arctic, requires the use of satellites and aircraft antennas and communication components not previously integrated on the MQ-9,” National Defence spokeswoman Andrée-Anne Poulin explained in a previous email. “Similarly, additional testing and qualification work will be required to ensure the RPAS can be operated and maintained in Canadian climatic conditions.”
Poulin said extra time was also needed so Canadian-made systems could be integrated into the drones.
Uplands will also be the site for a new $65-m military facility to control the drone fleet.
The Ottawa installation, to be ready by 2028, will be around 6,000 square metres in size. It will be home to almost 200 military personnel whose job will be to operate and control the drones flying from the bases in British Columbia and Nova Scotia as well as Arctic locations.
The Canadian Forces and National Defence originally claimed to the Ottawa Citizen that the location in Ottawa for the new building was secret for security reasons.
But that information was false. National Defence outlined details about the Uplands location in publicly available documents that are online. The department also held public consultations on the Uplands location as part of its environmental assessment for the site, government documents show.
The publicly available records outline the construction of the building as well as a parking lot for employees who will work at the Uplands site.
