There's hiring freezes, but the University can pay the cost of three staff positions to bring Liz Cheney to Anchorage.
Cyberespionage groups or cybercriminals? UAV and C-UAV vendors and buyers are increasingly targeted.
#Resecurity had an interesting post on the topic.
As an example: about 1 GB of compressed #FortemTechnologies internal files wound up in the hands of an adversary, but Fortem denies there was any breach, claiming (wait for it):
" There was no breach. The files in question were attached to emails that had been shared outside of our network."
Shared intentionally with an adversary or cybercriminal? I tend to doubt that....
If you get a vote, vote NO on the upcoming UNAC-UA contract.
UA wants you to take 3% raises on average for the next three years. You'd need something closer to 6% to return you to your 2018 buying power.
In 2023 the avg Alaska worker got 5.2%.
The @EUDefenceAgency launched its first-ever European Defence Innovation Operational Experimentation (#OPEX) campaign.
#OPEX focuses on testing future capabilities in Unmanned Aerial Systems (#UAS) and Unmanned Ground Systems (#UGS).

Our Portable Aircraft Rucksack for Atmospheric Sensing and In-situ Turbulence Estimation (PARASITE) is a meteorological payload we developed for multicopters - here a #dji #Mavic3E. The system measures #temperature,
#humidity and
3d #wind vector over 10 times a second (>10Hz).
We applied this system during the @DeutscherWetterdienst #HErZ #VITAL campaign¹ last summer @fzj and are currently improving and validating it further.
Small #UAS (uncrewed aircraft systems) such as #multicopters can bridge the observation gap of high-resolution in-situ measurements in the lower atmosphere (lowest few km).
We'll present more @EuroGeosciences #EGU25 this year.

@ikluft Nice! The #SuperHornet is a bad ass fighter and this load out is certainly good for #CAP and protecting against cruise missiles and larger #UAS #DCA
New Dataset Alert!
We're release a comprehensive #dataset for visual-based localization of #UAV in #maritime environments.
This dataset contains the data and source code for our IMEKO ACTA paper "Visual-based Localization Methods for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Landing Operation on Maritime Vessel" and was originally developed within the #RHID_MARLAND project.
Download the dataset: https://gitlab.cylab.be/t.nguyen/uav-visual-localization

UFO Crisis in US Causes Panic and Political Crisis, Being “No Foreign Cause”...
https://www.globalresearch.ca/ufo-crisis-us-panic-political-crisis/5875537
As in the 1950s, the community to ask whether they have seen UFOs or unidentified UAVs are the small band of dedicated amateur astronomers who regularly search the night sky for new comets.
They know the skies like you know your own nostril hairs, enabling them to spot the novel dim smudges that mean a new comet is heading into the inner Solar System. You never hear them talking about flying saucers. And they sure as hell know what an airliner looks like at night.
The X-P4 #UAS / #drone looks extremely cool.
