"NYPD will deploy drones to respond to 911 calls"

  • Pilot program is in 5 precincts.
  • Each precinct will get rooftop drone platform
  • Calling it “drones as first responders”

This a good thing? Drones can certainly get eyes to an emergency quickly. Video footage admissible in court?

Privacy implications? Will people be shooting these down?

The Israeli army spox acknowledges that the strategic balloon system has been attacked and damaged

He adds that there is no compromise to the army's abilities to detect incoming missile threats, and that the system was not operational yet

📝 The system was used several times over Lebanon for tests, and its loss is both a financial loss and an even bigger operational one too when it would have been needed most during a serious damage to the army's radar and detection abilities during a big war.

Hezbullah to release footage of its attack on the strategic Israeli army Sky Dew radar.

The remarkable detail is that they were able to successfully fly a drone over the base and take HQ footage of it!

Started a new SDF modeling project in MagicaCSG.

It's going to be a sci-fi drone. More updates will follow tomorrow.

Sci-fi drone modeling progress, using the MagicaCSG SDF 3D editor…

Added guns, because dystopian sci-fi is realistic sci-fi. 😏

Watch this thread for updates.

Sci-fi drone design update…

We're getting somewhere. Started adding details to make it look fancier.

Love the non-destructive nature of SDF modeling. It enabled me to completely change the grill without any pain.

More'll follow tomorrow. Check other posts in this thread for more WIPs.

Sci-fi drone design update…

Added a few more little widgets to finish the model.

I think this time I'm going to export the model to Blender for rendering with Cycles. MagicaCSG includes a great path tracing renderer, but it lacks textures.

Science-fiction surveillance drone design.

Modeled and rendered in MagicaCSG, Post-processed in PhotoScape X.

I was too lazy to port it to Blender and add textures, and I think MagicaCSG's renderer did a fine job again.

See other posts for WIPs.

Couldn't resist creating a slightly weathered version of my sci-fi drone. A little bit of dust and dirt gives more character to a machine.

See other posts in this thread for more drone impressions.

Footage of a Japanese naval destroyer that circulated on Chinese social media is likely genuine, despite initial speculation the video may have been generated by artificial intelligence. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/10/japan/destroyer-drone-video-footage/ #japan #defenseministry #drones #selfdefenseforces #china #socialmedia #ai #tech

Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

#Drones have leveled the playing field between a Goliath #Russia and a David-like #Ukraine.

But drone development is evolving so quickly that Ukrainian engineers must innovate — or people die.

There’s no place in the world where #drone innovation is happening faster than in Ukraine.

With fewer funds and fewer soldiers, Ukraine has needed to out-think and out-innovate the Russian military.

Threats from drones must cause headaches for security people at all large public events nowadays , technology developed on the battlefields of Ukraine can easily be applied by terrorists in an urban context.

Chilling article from Zeteo on Israel’s use of armed quadcopters in Gaza and the future development of such warfare.

"The point here is not that armed quadcopters like those the Israeli military reportedly uses in Gaza are unprecedented. It's that they are very, very precedented, to the degree that they have the aura of inevitability"
