How Drones Navigate When GPS Is Gone: The Full Toolkit
Russian jamming dropped FPV hit rates from 40–60% to under 30%. Ukraine's response accelerated every GPS-denied navigation technique in the book — from inertial sensors and visual odometry to quantum magnetometers and $50 autonomy modules. Here's how each layer works.

Beyond the 30-Minute Wall: How Hydrogen and Hybrid Power Are Reshaping Drone Endurance
Lithium batteries cap most drones at 30–45 minutes. Hydrogen fuel cells and gas-electric hybrids are dismantling that ceiling — with certified hardware entering commercial and military catalogs, though storage infrastructure remains the stubborn bottleneck.

What Makes a Drone Swarm: True Autonomy, Enabling Tech, and the C2 Gap
Most formations called 'drone swarms' aren't—they're centralized fleets, scripted salvos, or teleoperated aircraft. Here's what true swarm autonomy requires, which programs are closest, and why C2 software remains the binding constraint.

Helsing's CA-1EA: An EW-First Combat Drone Built Around the Jammer
At ILA Berlin 2026, Helsing unveiled the CA-1EA, a collaborative combat aircraft designed from the outset as an electronic-attack platform — jamming and radar suppression as the primary payload, not an afterthought. IOC is targeted for 2031, though the airframe has yet to fly.

ERC System's Victor U250 Targets the Vertical-Lift Dead Zone — Rheinmetall Signs On
Munich startup ERC System unveiled the Victor U250 heavy-lift hybrid-electric eVTOL at ILA Berlin, a 250 kg-payload lift-and-cruise platform targeting a payload band that rotary-wing and fixed-wing logistics have largely abandoned. Rheinmetall signed a production MOU the following day.
