An uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) has collided with a parked Korea Aerospace Industries KUH-1 Surion helicopter, destroying both aircraft in the resulting fire.

The German Air Force has undertaken a first flight of its Israel Aerospace Industries Heron TP uncrewed aircraft system in German airspace.

The German Parliament’s budget committee on Nov. 8 approved a change in the contract for the operation of the UAS.

The teaming arrangement was agreed to during the Defense Security Equipment International exhibition.

The Czech Republic has canceled plans to acquire Heron UAS from Israel, prioritizing instead the purchase of tactical UAS for the army.

Marubeni has completed the first piloted demonstration flight of the Lift Aircraft Hexa single-seat eVTOL.

Heron was established following the management buyout of Nova Systems’ Asia business in 2021.
