DARPA Breakthrough: Single Operator Successfully Controls Over 100 Autonomous Robots
Groundbreaking DARPA-funded research demonstrates that one person can effectively manage swarms of up to 190 autonomous vehicles in complex urban environments. The study at Fort Campbell challenges long-held beliefs about human limitations in robot control, with operators experiencing minimal cognitive overload.
Russian Military Discovers Explosives Hidden in Drone Operator Goggles
Russian authorities uncovered booby-trapped FPV goggles intended for drone operators, containing hidden plastic explosives designed to detonate during use. The compromised Skyzone Cobra devices, which arrived through humanitarian aid channels, have prompted investigations into military supply chain security.
Ukrainian Drones Strike Major Russian Oil Pipeline in Tactical Evolution
A suspected Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Druzhba pipeline marks a significant shift in aerial warfare tactics, with reports of bomb-dropping capabilities rather than kamikaze-style strikes.
