Flight of the Little Drone

Henri Seydoux, founder and CEO of micro drone company @parrot_official, highlighted the promises and perils at the intersection of technology and society during a new #HarvardSEAS industry lecture series. The talk was the first in a series of forums that will bring together SEAS faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates to meet in an intimate setting with industry leaders and learn about their latest projects, as well as their creative and business processes. Seydoux emphasized that nothing lasts in technology. To find success, entrepreneurs must constantly evolve, and for Parrot, that meant moving towards the increasing number of advanced tech companies beginning to outcompete them. “Technology’s progress in recent times has been based on seeing with our gadgets,” he said. “The high tech starts with the gadgets; it’s not serious. The world of today is led by young people and we are able to build huge businesses, but they are never so serious at the beginning.”⠀ Photo and article by @alanajoy_ful #Harvard #LifeatSEAS #drone #microdrone #technology #industry #business #entrepreneur (at Harvard John A.

Captured some great footage on my @extremefliers Micro Drone 3.0 maiden flight with the new wide angle gimbal. Definitely an upgrade from the original camera. Easy to get use to the gimbal control too which I was loving the option to adjust my angle and view. And the stability with the new camera is amazing. Now all I need is a few more working batteries #microdrone #gimbal #microgimbal #extremefliers #drone #quadcopter #dronephotography #dronephoto #dronepicture #wideangle (at Life Church Mobile)

Black Hornet Micro Drone become the Weapons for Mass Destruction

Microdrones, while seeming like harmless toys, could be used as weapons of mass destruction. These mini military drones can be fitted with explosives or other harmful substances, making them a serious threat. One type of microdrone, the Black Hornet, is just 3 inches long and can fly for up to 25 minutes.

Britain stated in August that it would deliver 850 Black Hornet "microdrones" to Kyiv for close-quarters fighting.

Britain to Send ‘Game-Changing’ Microdrones to Ukraine for Spy Missions

EXPRESS  |  By Ema Crabtree  |  8/25/2022

8/25/2022 — The six-inch Black Hornet drones were first used by British forces during the invasion of Afghanistan. The drones originally come from Norway and are part of the new £54 million aid package from Britain and Norway to Ukraine. The two western allies to Ukraine will send 850 Black Hornet’s to Kyiv which will be capable of flying close to Russian soldiers undetected and entering buildings.

The major said: “Previously we would have sent soldiers forward to see if there were any enemy fighters hiding inside a set of buildings. Now we are deploying Black Hornet to look inside compounds and to clear a route through enemy-held spaces.”  The military tech costing £10,000 per drone has a flight time of up to 25 minutes and flies on autopilot using GPS. The drones are equipped with a rechargeable battery, a handheld controller and a camera which can live-stream video and images to the 7-inch LCD screen which comes with the drone.

The equipment was asked for by Ukraine and Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday that the drones would be part of a new military aid package which Norway will contribute to.  The drones costing £8.5 million will not only give Ukraine further spying capabilities, it will also enable them to complete damage assessment.  According to a researcher at the German Aerospace Centre the drones are “the very best on the market” and their use in Ukraine will be “game changing”.

Norway’s defence minister Bjørn Arild Gram spoke about the Norwegian-developed drones and said: “The drone is used for reconnaissance and target identification. “It is easy to operate, robust, difficult to detect and particularly well suited for combat in urban areas.” He added: “The donation entails a new direction for how Western countries support their fight. Until now we and our allies have mostly donated from our own stocks.”
