U.S. Military to Field Test Next Generation Israeli Drone Technology
(Jerusalem Post) Daniel Nisinman - The U.S. Department of Defense in cooperation with the Israel Defense Ministry and Israeli company Xtend have recently launched a new pilot program to test the potential employment of Skylord drones by the U.S. military. Intended to be used by soldiers operating in hostile environments, the system uses augmented reality (AR). A human operator can scan large areas and engage targets from a safe distance using a hand-operated controller unit. In addition, the drone is equipped with counter-drone measures.
