For the third month in a row, the number of Shahed-type kamikaze drones launched by Russia at Ukraine surged to record levels.
Max Morales's insight:
Shows how both sides are adapting different ways to use and detect drones. There is no doubt that this trend will continue with new detective systems and decoy drones being developed in both countries.

Great to see that scientists can use drones to help data collect especially already being in remote areas. This remote work can help students with their research at the university.

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.

Sophia Hoolihan's insight:
Community members and local law enforcement agencies witnessed drones hovering over Morris County in New Jersey on Monday night. The FAA investigated the reports and stated there was no evidence of drone activity in the area. Witnesses claim there were around three large drones hovering for over an hour, something not typical of smaller, hobby-grade aircraft.

Koala habitat drone survey: thermal drones confirm the presence of endangered koalas in Australia's Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary.
Max Morales's insight:
This is cool way that biologists in Australia are using drones to survey for Koalas on the reserve. They have been able to find koalas, identify them, and estimate if they are healthy or not based on the video taken. This kind of technology use can help conservation better estimate how many animals are in a given area or how healthy they are in that habitat.

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.

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.

The announcement marks the most specific details the Defense Department has released about its secretive, fast-track drone effort.
Keiran Gisonno's insight:
It's interesting to see new drones being unveiled by the military; the Ghost X and C-100 are both surveillance and attack drones that were taken in by the military, and the Marines are using the Altius-600. The distinction between the different branches of the military (Army and Navy for The Marines Corps) is interesting since not every branch has picked the same drone, it's interesting to see how their doctrine influences what drones they might use and what application they have.

Its surpising to see the Houthis use drone attacks, but its also something I think we'll see more of as drones can be a relatively cheap weapon to use for militaries, and rebel groups.

It's sad that we had to reach to this point. In schools along with armed security officers they plan to have armed drones per 200 students.
Sophia Hoolihan's comment,

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.

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.

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!

Not surprising that drones would be a more efficient means of transportation, but it would be interesting to see how much more efficient they are by comparing statistics.
