French government is testing a new type and design of drone. Called Diodon, the drone is intended to carry out reconnaissance, patrol and engagement missions against hostile or criminal targets. Benjamin Briere was arrested by the French government for flying a drone close to the Iran-Turkmenistan frontier. Safran is currently developing a glider capable drone. This type drone would be more efficient at accomplishing its mission (including aerial spotting).
Diodon's drones were designed to be used in detection, patrol, reconnaissance and surveillance as well as engagement with criminal and hostile targets
French drones by Diodon have been designed for various missions. They can be used in surveillance and reconnaissance roles, as well as engagement with hostile or criminal targets. The HP30 drone is intended to be deployed on patrol missions for up to 30 minutes. The drone can be launched from submarines and has a range up to 8 km.
J-UCAS, a joint program of the Air Force and Navy, is part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The A-160 Hummingbird is an stealthy rotorcraft that can be used for both long-dwell ISR or short-range tactical missions. J-UCAS Advanced Technology Demonstration - J-UCAS is a stealthy combat rotorcraft unmanned and carrier-based that allows military personnel to track and engage from the air with criminal and hostile targets.
Benjamin Briere was taken into custody after he flew his drone near the Iran/Turkmenistan border
Benjamin Briere, a French citizen, was arrested in Iran recently after being accused of flying a drone close to the Iranian-Turkmenistan frontier. While Briere remains in solitary confinement, he is the only Western detainee held by the Iranian regime who does not have a passport. This case has added an extra layer of political tension to the already tense relationship between Iran and Western powers over Iran's nuclear programme. They are currently in Vienna for talks that will salvage an international agreement that would aim to curtail Iran's nuclear activities, and lift economic restrictions.
France condemned Briere’s arrest, but Iran argued Briere’s conviction was based slanderous and provocation. The Iranian government believes Briere has been used as a bargaining tool in US nuclear negotiations. Iran has denied all allegations against Briere. Meanwhile, France has slammed the eight-year sentence as unjust and illegitimate.
Safran is working on a drone that can fly
Safran and Ministry of Defense have signed a new contract for French military personnel. France will buy fourteen Patroller tactical UAVs. They will be put into service in 2018. Jean-Yves Le Drian, Defense Minister, signed the contract at a Safran plant, Sagem, France. He met with Jean-Yves Le Drian, Defense Minister. The deal will amount to EUR300 million (341 million USD) and include 12 years' maintenance.
Although ambitious, these plans represent a significant step in the right directions. First, Safran partnered with Valeo in order to jointly research the assisted driving market. Although they are not rivals, the two companies share similar technology requirements. Their collaboration will allow them to pool their resources and accelerate the development for products necessary to serve this expanding market. It is possible for other companies, research centres, and small businesses to join the project.

How To
How To Select The Best Drone For Photography
This article will explain how to select the best drone for you. We will cover what features you should look for when selecting a drone for yourself.
Let's first look at some tips for choosing the best drone for your personal use.
The first thing you want to consider before buying any type of product is its size. If you're going to take photos from above, then you'll probably find that a larger-sized camera is easier to control than one that's smaller. This is especially true if you're a beginner pilot. Because you are afraid to go higher, you don't want your pilot skills to be compromised.
Second, be sure to check the quality and size of the sensor. The higher the sensor is, the higher quality images you will be able capture.
You may also want to consider buying a remote controller. They allow you to see where your drone is in space.
Next, consider whether you would prefer a fixed mount or an adjustable gimbal. A gimbal can be used to take stills and fly. It makes it easier to hold steady and gives you a wider range of movement. They do come at a higher price depending on the product you are after.
