  • First bird-scale robot to swim, dive, and launch back into flight

    A robot that swims like a diving bird and then flies like, well, a bird, sounds like the setup for two different machines bolted together.

    NAMIB, the New Electronic Warfare Payload Successfully Completes a Collaborative Flight with a Rafale | Harmattan AI

    Dassault Aviation and Harmattan AI today announced the successful execution of a collaborative in-flight engagement between a Rafale F4 and an unmanned aerial system equipped with the NAMIB payload, a new electronic warfare device jointly developed by both companies.

    NAMIB is an electronic warfare payload capable of detecting, identifying, and geolocating electromagnetic emissions, in particular those from air defense systems. It can be carried by tactical drones, including quadcopters, as well as by longer-endurance, fixed-winged unmanned aircraft.
