Raven Tech's system combines detection, autonomous flight, and net-based capture to neutralize unauthorized drones. Once an intruder is detected, the system deploys a drone to intercept and safely transport the rogue drone to a designated location.

Both of the Southwest pilots involved in this incident over the weekend told the air traffic controller that they received alarms from their collision avoidance systems that directed them to take action with one plane climbing while the other dove to avoid the potential midair collision.

To reach the next generation of air traffic controllers, we need to adapt. This campaign's innovative communication style and focus on gaming taps into a growing demographic of young adults who have many of the hard skills it takes to be a successful controller.

Joby Aviation and Air Space Intelligence announced a partnership to integrate AI-driven airspace management into U.S. electric air taxi operations, using ASI's Flyways AI platform to model high-density eVTOL traffic before commercial flights begin later this year.

In the early morning hours, the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority halted flights as a precaution. The Dubai Media Office later confirmed that the situation was "under control" and that the fire had not spread. However, several flights were diverted while emergency teams responded to the incident.

In-flight Wi-Fi is roughly on par with hotel or airport Wi-Fi. It's not automatically unsafe, but it's not something you should blindly trust either. You're on a shared network with hundreds of other people, and you don't know how well it's segmented or monitored.

is a drone engineered to autonomously seek out, hack, and wirelessly take over other drones within wifi distance, creating an army of zombie drones under your control.

The airspace over Los Angeles is among the most congested in the world, but the Hollywood Burbank Airport is uniquely situated, creating extremely tight parameters around the midsize airport.

As court documents describe, the FAA issues a temporary restriction that prohibits all aircraft, including drones, from operating within a three-nautical-mile radius of any stadium with a seating capacity of 30,000 or more people during, among other events, regular or post-season NFL games. The "stadium airspace is defined as "National Defense Airspace" and remains in effect for a specified time period before, during, and after NFL games at Levi's Stadium - which will include the Feb. 8 Super Bowl.

"We were completely controlling the drone from the helicopter. For us, it's of course unique. Today, what we performed is a world first," Gerin-Roze told reporters on Thursday at the Singapore Airshow. The software is part of Airbus' contribution to the surging industry for drone wingmen, which the world's biggest aircraft manufacturers are betting will be the future of air warfare.

A Eurowings spokesperson told Business Insider that its owner, the Lufthansa Group, decided not to fly over Iranian or Iraqi airspace as a precautionary measure. They added that the refueling stop was "due to a longer flight distance and stronger headwinds on the alternative route at the time." "In the event of such refueling, we inform our passengers accordingly before departure in Dubai," they said.

"exciting new AI tools available to DOT rule writers to help us do our job better and faster."

The government's ability to deal with drones that pose a threat on American soil has been questioned this week after the use of a laser designed to shoot down drones near the border in Texas led to the abrupt closure of the airspace over El Paso, sources familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The details of exactly what happened before the Federal Aviation Administration shut down the busy airport in the Mexican border city on Wednesday aren't entirely clear,

Since the collision on January 29, 2025, between an American Airlines flight from Wichita and a military helicopter on a training ride, military pilots have had to broadcast their precise GPS-based location data to other aircraft and to air traffic control, something they frequently skipped before the crash. The FAA has also barred all but the most essential helicopter traffic along the Potomac near the airport.
