Skydio Paraverse Lets Pilots Train On Virtual Drones Before Touching Real Hardware by Haye Kesteloo Skydio has launched Paraverse, a free browser-based simulation platform that replicates the company’s entire drone operations ecosystem, allowing pilots and program managers to train, test integrations, and build missions in a virtual environment before deploying actual hardware.

Complete Ecosystem Simulation Beyond Flight Training Unlike consumer flight simulators that focus solely on piloting skills, Paraverse recreates the entire operational infrastructure agencies need […] as First Responder Jersey and Rescue X2 Drone

Ukraine Uses Ground Drones To See Through Heavy Fog by Rafael Suárez Thick fog has been a major problem for drone operators on the eastern frontline, and Russian troops have used it to advance again and again. This week, according to Business Insider, the 93rd Separate Rifle Brigade said the weather almost gave Russia a perfect opening near the village of Rusin Yar, close to Pokrovsk. Visibility around the city dropped for days. The sky turned into a gray wall that blocked the view of small reconnaissance drones. For Ukraine, that is dangerous. Drones are often the first warning that Russian troops or armored vehicles are on the move. When that early […] Drones Drones

Mexican Cartels Copy Drone Tactics Seen in Ukraine by Rafael Suárez Last month, three explosive drones detonated outside a prosecutor’s office in Tijuana.

Why The DJI Neo 2 Could Be the Next Big Starter Drone for Real Estate Creators by Rafael Suárez I have been flying drones for real estate photography and videography for eight years.

But after checking the new DJI Neo 2, I can say this tiny drone might become the most practical starter tool for anyone who wants to enter the real estate world. It is small, safe, simple, and surprisingly creative. And even though DJI designed it as a fun drone, it has features […] Mini 3 Neo
