Indian Navy’s Heron unmanned aerial vehicle has crashed off the coast of Kerala Friday after suffering an engine failure. The UAV was on a routine mission when the incident happened, the Navy said. "The UAV was guided to a safe area and ditched over sea," a Navy officer was quoted as saying by NDTV. “A court of inquiry has been ordered,” he added. The Navy said a search was launched immediately and parts of the aircraft, including the engine, have been recovered. The UAVs, po

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, have developed an innovative unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can stay on station beneath the water, then launch into the air to perform a variety of missions. The Corrosion Resistant Aerial Covert Unmanned Nautical System — or CRACUNS — is a submersible UAV that can be launched from a fixed position underwater, or from an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV).A team from APL’s Force Pro

It was just another morning in the park for Chris and Cadence Haskins. Chris arranged his 11-year-old daughter’s flying station — lawnchair, video goggles, controller and antenna. Cadence began piloting a drone across Boise’s Sycamore Park and through a row of trees like a slalom course.

A 2015 estimate by the Teal Group in Fairfax, Virginia, has the value of global UAV production rising from $4 billion annually to $14 billion in 2025. Kick in R&D, procurement and software development and you are looking at a business ballooning towards $100 billion in accumulated revenues over the next decade. T
