A drone that authorities say was flying in restricted airspace on Jan. 9 put a fist-sized hole in the wing of a Super Scooper, taking it out of service.

I haven't heard about this so that sounds really interesting so hopefully it works out well and this kind of progress continues to grow.

In order to implement a functional armed drone program, funding greater than $100 per student would be required. The schools would need to purchase drones manufactured for security purposes, pay for the training of and/or wages of drone operators, and likely pay for additional insurance covering any drone related accidents. With recent trends in public school funding, I do not think a security drone program is feasible.

Cool how they can create a sky fence where when a drones enters the zone it interferes with its signal.

Implementing a drone program with the goal of increasing the quality and quantity of geospatial data available is an excellent demonstration of how drones can be beneficial to the public good and are not to be feared. A unified geospatial ecosystem will allow for sustainability to be pursued in various sectors, by public and private domains.

AeroVironment produces military-grade drone technology and likely supplies Ukraine with their combat drone tech. This expansion of their company will promote more advances in military drone technology, including drone strike defense systems. I am interested to see what technologies the merger procures.

The amount of money involved in these kinds of deals and negotiations is always amazing, but not particularly surprising to me.

That is so cool how this method can be done with drones which I guess it can be argued that it is the safer option for both the bear and people. I think this kind of usage of the drone could be potentially used on other animals but I this still needs a lot of research done on it/

Look how cute the bear is! This is great because it would allow us to research and study bears in the wild a bit more, but it is also a safer way to do it. As long as the drone doesn't get too close or endanger the bear, it seems like an effective way to get footage and see where they are going!

Frustrating Day in Eviction Court As a legal aid eviction attorney, I recently encountered a challenging client in court today. Despite repeated explanations, she was convinced her evidence supported a different conclusion than I advised. Additionally, she showed a lack of courtroom decorum, talking throughout the proceedings. Before the case began, I secured a brief consultation with the judge to discuss my client's situation. Unfortunately, the client became disruptive again, and I had to physically remove her from the courtroom to prevent further outbursts. During the consultation, I reiterated the limitations of her evidence. However, she remained unconvinced and even questioned my competence. Since we couldn't reach an agreement on how to proceed, I offered to withdraw from the case. She readily agreed, insisting she knew what she was doing. After withdrawing, a further complication arose. Security wouldn't allow me back into the courtroom to retrieve my belongings due to a confidential hearing taking place. While waiting, my former client attempted to re-enter the courtroom, creating more commotion. Finally, once the hearing was over, I informed the judge that the client had discharged me. I left the courthouse promptly. Later, I checked the case status and unsurprisingly, the eviction was granted. Challenges of Legal Aid This experience highlights the difficulties legal aid attorneys can face. Despite our best efforts, some clients may choose to represent themselves, regardless of our professional advice.

Wonder why anyone would disrupt an airspace from a medical helicopter. Probably was not aware or just invading the airspace just to see what was happening not realizing they are causing a safety hazard.

Thats really cool how technology is adapting to this harsh climate so that we can collect data and I love that they are putting efforts into getting the indigenous population involved in a positive way so hopefully there us be more positive outcomes of this research

Seeing drones being used in remote areas that would be hard to get to be scientists is really cool. Cold harsh weather but also over the open ocean. It seems like a great way to get a new viewpoint and collect new data.

This article is inspiring, showing how drones and sound surveys help find and protect endangered koalas. Discovering healthy koalas in Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary gives hope and shows how teamwork and technology can make a big difference for wildlife.

This is amazing that they are able to use drones to survey tree dwellers. The use of thermal drones makes all the difference.

Crazy to think how much time could be saved over manual surveying through community access to a single drone platform. I'd love to see it shared out among neighboring communities as well. That could allow it to free up hundreds of hours of labor to work on taking care of the land without cutting back on monitoring.
