The UAV will be further developed for collecting data in the battlefield and also as a listening device. It has a maximum flight speed of 80km/h and can also operate in slower modes for training. The tiny drone can operate within a range of 2km on 5.8Ghz radio bandwidth and up to 50km on LTE. It has a battery life of 40 minutes in real conditions and can stream footage back to troops on the ground. The Bug UAV can withstand wind speeds of up to 35k with 45k gusts. The aerial vehicle can accommodate a range of payload systems such as microphone, loudspeaker, white/infrared (IR)/red light, interchangeable lenses, mapping camera, thermal camera and distraction device. It also has the capability to carry payloads of up to 100g while still remaining within the 250g weight limit. The Bug drone has a normal payload capacity of up to 50g.

The nano drone offers immediate full HD situational awareness that allows the pilot as well as other operators in the network to accomplish missions more effectively as the system broadcasts data to multiple command and control platforms. Irrespective of the flight direction, the drone can direct the camera to a fixed position. The autopilot mode can be switched from local pilot to remote pilot based on the flight operation envelope. The micro drone is equipped with counter-countermeasures and can be customised based on user requirement including colour scheme, custom payloads and capabilities. The ready to swarm drone comes with the GPS follow the leader capability and can be integrated with advanced algorithms.

The Bug nano drone can simultaneously transmit data to multiple devices such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets and Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK). The fist-sized drone can be easily transported in a box which can accommodate two Bug UAVs, four battery packs and one UAVTEK controller with antennas and accessories. The drone is fitted with high-resolution camera and can be equipped with infrared detection system. It’s tiny size makes it difficult to be differentiated from birds, when operating at a certain altitude. The fully autonomous drone can be easily launched from hand, ground or vehicle. It features four robust rotors which allow it to fly in severe weather conditions including strong winds, rain and snow. The Bug nano drone has a gross weight of 196g which is similar to that of a smartphone. The developers plan to further improve the nano UAV with addition of sensing equipment and capabilities as well as integrating it with other military equipment. It serves as a soldier’s eye around corners or over the hills. Clarifications have also been made about the end-to-end encryption feature of the camera.The drone can be used for a range of missions including reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition. Update, 12:23 am ET, September 25: The original article said that the Ring Always Home Cam would be a part of Amazon's partnerships with law enforcement, based on comments made by Amazon following the hardware event. If only someone could have imagined that our 2020 problems would be much greater than this-and in fact, tangled right up in it. To hear Amazon tell it, it was designed to be a problem solver, a solution for wanting a camera in every corner of your home. If the rummaging racoon, the intruder, or the erosion of civil liberties doesn’t wake you up at night, the drone will.Ī surveillance drone that flies around your home-in your home!-is the stuff we could only have imagined 30 years ago, or even just a few years ago.

It’s a somewhat bizarre explanation when part of the drone’s pitch is to be a flying substitute for the multitude of cameras that would sit silently on your windowsills. Whether it’s flying towards someone entering your house from the outside, or someone inside the home who would prefer not to be surveilled, the drone will announce itself.

Drones use rotors, or fans, for propulsion. Limp argues that the Ring drone has at least a couple automatic privacy features. Customers will have to opt in to that advanced privacy feature. “I would take that criticism.” And yet, videos won’t be end-to-end encrypted by default. “You could argue we should have done it sooner,” Limp says. This means videos won’t be as easily shareable, Limp says only the person with the keys to the account will be able to access Ring videos. Today the company said it would finally roll out end-to-end encryption on its video feeds by the end of the year. Over the years, Ring has also been called out for significant privacy blunders, which it has taken steps to address.
