Chinese military media says the GJ-21 stealth uncrewed aircraft completed its first takeoff and landing aboard the Type 076 amphibious assault ship Sichuan. The report names no flight date, sortie count or measured recovery result, and does not establish routine naval service.
Rheinmetall says it signed an agreement with Silvus Technologies to integrate RFeye passive radio-frequency sensors with Skynex and Skymaster. The planned sensor layer targets airborne threats including drones; no completed integration test, order quantity or fielded configuration is announced.
Ukraine's defence ministry and Brave1 opened development competitions for guided air-to-air missiles, including UAV-launched concepts, and domestic radars. Brave1 lists grant ceilings of UAH 75 million and UAH 100 million respectively; these are application opportunities, not awarded or fielded systems.
Ukraine's defence ministry says Brave1-linked automated turrets are in Air Force service and have destroyed more than 60 aerial targets within its private air-defence project. The ministry gives no independently audited engagement record or model-level breakdown.
Russia's Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies told TASS that a drone using VA Technologies' SOVA visual-navigation software completed a four-waypoint field route with an outdated satellite map. No independent test data, military purchase or operational acceptance was disclosed.
Ukraine's defence ministry says Brave1 Market has opened a category for amphibious ground robots with three initial products. Marketplace listing is distinct from completed military orders or acceptance; the previously reported 40 km logistics mission is older evidence.
Ukraine's defence ministry says Code 9.2 carried out two aerial casualty evacuations with the purpose-built Stargate system in one week. The reported missions are distinct from the earlier heavy-hexacopter rescue, but performance and navigation claims remain ministry-reported.
Draganfly says an existing US defence customer bought Heavy Lift aircraft for the first time and made follow-on Commander 3XL purchases. It did not identify the customer, quantities, contract values, delivery dates or acceptance results.
The UK Ministry of Defence says it will lead work on synthetic-aperture sonar, a deployable anti-submarine sensor and a non-kinetic effector for uncrewed underwater vehicles. Availability from 2027 is a plan, not completed fleet acceptance.
Denmark's Weibel says its XENTA-M5 radar was selected under an €84 million contract with PIT-RADWAR for Poland's SAN counter-drone programme. The order concerns the sensor layer; delivery, integration testing and operational acceptance were not reported.
STM says its NETA 300 autonomous underwater vehicle detected and identified mine and mine-like objects on an exercise transit route. The company has reported a Turkish Navy sales contract, but the exercise account does not establish fleet acceptance or mine neutralisation.
STM says its TUNGA-X interceptor tracked and struck a representative UAV target using radar and image guidance at TURNAs-2026. The report describes an exercise engagement without independent performance data or service acceptance.
