To detect, record, and commandeer unauthorized or enemy drones, the Navy has developed a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) data collection protection system (DCPS) platform. The hardware/software of the ROV DCPS is configured to take control of rogue drones, co-opting their communication link via RF from the ground or satellite feed. Additional functionality includes the ability to monitor what data is being collected by the drone, prevent the data from being sent back, and otherwise interfering with the ROVs operation.

Right now the best selling drone on Amazon costs $50 and fits in the palm of your hand. It flies autonomously and doesn't use a remote. It is a tiny drone called the Force1 Scoot. After seeing it first hand I thought for sure it wouldn't be any good. I was wrong.

Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, are typically thought of in terms of warfare or entertainment (i.e., film and photography) applications. Yet the technology is growing to unbelievable heights and finding use cases in enterprise as well—particularly in the construction industry.

Researchers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and engineering professors will collaborate in researching propulsion systems for unmanned aircrafts in a new center at the University of Illinois. The development of The Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Propulsion was initiated by the U.S. Department of Defense and led by the ARL, which began approximately three years ago.

A Kentucky-based company has now announced the new Dauntless UAV, which can lift and transport over 200 lb (90 kg). The Dauntless is available either as a quadcopter, or – by adding an extra motor and set of rotors to each of its four arms – an octocopter. As a quadcopter, it weighs 77 lb (35 kg) and can lift a payload of at least 100 lb (45 kg). The 200-lb figure is for the octocopter version.

The Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance (NUAIR) has announced the successful demonstration of a new airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS) for small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

Researchers at Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture have developed a "Lambulance" drone. As the name suggests, the Lambulance is supposed to act like an ambulance; but for lambs.

DroneSeed, a Seattle-based startup, has come up with a high-tech solution to the problem of planting seeds in areas devastated by wildfires — and it involves a combination of drones, artificial intelligence, and bioengineering.

Boeing — the world's largest aerospace company – is teaming up with AI-firm SparkCognition to launch SkyGrid – a new startup focusing on urban aerial mobility.

New research from North Carolina State University demonstrates that consumer-grade drones are effective tools for monitoring marine species across multiple sites in the wild. The work shows that the technology can be a valuable platform for scientists and conservationists interested in studying populations of sharks, rays, sea turtles and other marine megafauna.

They cover issues including safety, training and privacy.

At a recent Cabinet meeting, the Rwanda government agreed to extend its contract with Zipline for another three years for the delivery of medical products via drones.

A Swiss company has developed an artificial diamond that can help a laser beam maintain its quality over much longer ranges, and say ground-based networks of these diamond-enhanced power sources could send drones flying great distances, without wasting power to haul their big batteries around.

Smith County Commissioners Court in Tyler, Texas will approve an agreement with Tyler Company and Phirst Technologies to allow a drone and a port to be located at the emergency operations centre.
Kept in a secure location, the device will be used for early testing of the drone and port for first-responder use.
