UAVs and Drones: Latest News and Analysis
Uncrewed aircraft now span everything from a two-kilogram inspection drone to a jet-powered combat aircraft flying alongside crewed fighters.
AirPro News covers the industrial side of that spectrum: the manufacturers, the military and commercial programmes, the regulators writing beyond-visual-line-of-sight and airspace-integration rules, and the operators building services on top. This page gathers every AirPro News story on UAVs and drones, newest first.
What we watch
- Military programmes. Collaborative combat aircraft and loyal-wingman projects, medium-altitude long-endurance systems such as the MQ-9B and Eurodrone, naval drones, and the procurement decisions and deliveries behind them. We cover the aircraft and the industry, not their use in conflict.
- Regulation. FAA rules for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations, EASA’s U-space framework, remote ID, and the certification of larger uncrewed aircraft for cargo and passenger roles.
- Commercial operations. Drone delivery, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, public safety and the airspace-management systems that let them scale.
- Manufacturers and funding. The established defence primes, the drone start-ups raising capital, and the consolidation between them.
- Autonomy. The software, sensors and detect-and-avoid systems that move aircraft from remotely piloted to autonomous, and the test flights that prove them.
