Episode notes
Ground Unmanned Vehicles (GUVs)
- Ground Unmanned Vehicles (GUVs) offer greater payload capacity than aerial drones, but face communication and obstacle challenges.
- They haven't been scaled effectively yet due to limited funding and export restrictions.
FPV Drone Evolution
- FPV drones are rapidly evolving, with larger frames for increased payload and lower frequencies to counter electronic warfare.
- Range extension is being pursued through stronger signals and external antennas.
Bomber Drone Use Cases
- Larger "bomber" drones are crucial for remote mining, hitting fortifications, and logistics support.
- Deep strikes against tanks are less common than other bomber missions.
