Technology Minerals PLC (LSE:TM1) chairman Robin Brundle joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with more details after the company's 48.35%-owned battery recycling business, Recyclus Group, secured a significant contract with the Ministry of Defense (MoD). Recyclus has already delivered the first order for its LiBox, a specialised storage unit designed to contain lithium-ion battery fires and explosions. Brundle emphasised the growing awareness of the dangers posed by lithium-ion batteries and the critical role LiBox plays in preventing these hazards. “People's understanding of the dangers of lithium-ion battery fires is very much now coming to the fore,” said Brundle, highlighting that the LiBox adheres to the highest UN and ADR safety standards. The boxes are rigorously tested to contain fires, explosions, and molten projectiles, all while maintaining external temperatures below 100 degrees to avoid further risk. This contract with the MoD is a significant endorsement of Technology Minerals' innovation, and the company is now looking to expand both their sales and rental options for the LiBox. Brundle noted. "We are fully utilised on the numbers of boxes we have out to rental clients, and we're exploring ways to grow the volume." The company continues to focus on expanding opportunities in both government and commercial sectors.

RaceDayQuads v. FAA and the Remote ID rule, drones for law enforcement and telehealth, Russian attack drones and drones that recharge from power lines, a DARPA program for underwater drones, and finding lost hikers. UAV News D.C. Circuit May Blow Up the Remote Identification Rule for Drones Oral arguments were heard in the RaceDayQuads v. FAA case where the FAA's remote identification (RID) rule is being challenged. In brief, the RID rule applies to small drones (0.55-55 lbs) which would broadcast a “digital license plate” over WiFi and/or Bluetooth with a unique identifier, position, altitude, velocity, control station coordinates, and other “message elements.” The broadcast would be openly accessible by anyone. This RID capability must be either hardwired into the drone (Standard Remote ID) or attached externally in the form of a module (Broadcast Module RID or BMID). Drones without RID can only fly in FAA-recognized identification areas (FRIAs) under the purview of community-based organizations and educational institutions. Manufacturers have until September 2022 to comply. Drone operators have until September 2023 to comply. RaceDayQuads (RDQ) is a large online retailer that supports first-person view (FPV) drone-racing customers. RDQ's co-founder and CEO, Tyler Brennan said he seeks “to protect the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens to be free from unreasonable searches from the government when they are flying in their own backyards.” RDQ alleges that: The rule is a violation of the Fourth Amendment because it allows warrantless tracking in a backyard.The FAA arbitrarily and capriciously relied on undisclosed ex parte communications during the rulemaking process.The final rule was not a logical outgrowth from the NPRM.The FAA failed to comply with a legal mandate to consult with Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).The FAA failed to address significant public comments as required by the Administrative Procedure Act. For its part, the Government contends: Merely requiring RID technology onboard a drone does not equate to an unreasonable search. Planes flying in public view do not give rise to a reasonable expectation of privacy.Even if the rule did violate the Fourth Amendment, the special needs exception would legally justify it. A ruling is likely to come sometime in early 2022. Autonomous drones to respond to gunshots in new policing system US company ShotSpotter and Israel-based Airobotics are teaming to provide Israeli law enforcement agencies with a system that detects and locates gunfire, alerts the police, and provides live drone video footage and stills of the scene. ShotSpotter would identify and locate the sound of gunshots with a network of acoustic sensors. Airobotics would deploy its autonomous drones to the ShotSpotter coordinates. Special Delivery: Drones bring the doctor to you: Medicine's next big thing? Manish Kumar, Ph.D., Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati says, "We are building a telehealth drone that will have the ability to go inside people's homes.” Engineers are designing and testing a system with sensors that allow the drones to maneuver through a front door and into a patient's living room. Patients would connect with a doctor for a telehealth appointment. A medical kit on the drone would be used to measure and transmit health information. Russian Orion Drone Downs Unmanned Copter In a video, the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) shows an Orion reconnaissance and attack drone that fired an air-to-air missile and destroyed a hovering unmanned helicopter. The drone is also to be fitted with an electronic warfare suite “to defend itself against missiles…and to suppress any enemy systems in the interests of other units on the battlefield.” Video: Первое применение беспилотника «Орион» по воздушной цели https://youtu.

Our current guest was a Royal Air Force pilot for 24 years. During this time he also held various management positions in the UK Ministry of Defense (MoD). Among other things, he was the Deputy Team Leader negotiating the largest civil MoD contract that included the purchase of Airbus aircraft and other infrastructure worth 13 billion pounds. During this time he began to work as a personal coach for leadership and management. He has been doing this as co-founder of Why Not since 2007. He is the Co-Author of “Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team” which is the (I think even better) Workbook to Simon Sinek's “Start with Why”. The book was published in 26 languages and sold over 380,000 times. Today he describes himself as a Speaker, a Teacher and a Navigator. Since 4 years we are on our “way to new work”. How can a topic that plays such an important part in our everyday life create more meaning in our lives again? How do we get people to draw strength and motivation from their daily work again? How can one succeed in living a happy, healthy, productive and fulfilling life even in such difficult times? We are looking for methods, role models, experiences, tools and ideas that bring us closer to the core of New Work! We are always concerned with the question of whether everyone can really find and live what they really, really want in their innermost being. How can we make sure that each and everyone of us will find their inner driving force. You are at “On the Way to New Work” - today with Peter Docker.

Nick Pope investigated UFOs for the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) for several years in the early 1990s. He was skeptical about the phenomenon when he began looking into the matter. However, after having reviewed several credible cases Nick concluded that UFOs pose a real mystery, and unidentified vehicles in our airspace could pose a threat to national security. Since he has left the MoD, Nick has authored a book on the UK’s most credible and famous UFO case, Encounter in Rendlesham Forest: The Inside Story of the World’s Best-Documented UFO Incident. He is also a journalist and media commentator. Recently, Nick was able to obtain Department of Defense (DoD) files regarding Advanced Aerospace Identification Program (AATIP), often referred to as the Pentagon’s secret UFO project. These are some of the very few official releases of documents related to AATIP that have surfaced. In this episode, we discuss what is in the files and how he received them. Nick also explains what we can infer from the documents, and why they are significant. For more information about Nick, visit: NickPope.Net.

CNA’s expert on Russian AI and autonomous systems, Samuel Bendett, joins temporary host Larry Lewis (again filling in for Dave and Andy) to discuss Russia’s pursuits with the militarization of AI and autonomy. Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD) has made no secret of its desire to achieve technological breakthroughs in IT and especially artificial intelligence, marshalling extensive resources for a more organized and streamlined approach to information technology R&D. MOD is overseeing a significant public-private partnership effort, calling for its military and civilian sectors to work together on information technologies, while hosting high-profile events aiming to foster dialogue between its uniformed and civilian technologists. For example, Russian state corporation Russian Technologies (Rostec), with extensive ties to the nation’s military-industrial complex, has overseen the creation of a company with the ominous name – Kryptonite. The company’s name – the one vulnerability of a super-hero – was unlikely to be picked by accident. Russia’s government is working hard to see that the Russian technology sector can compete with American, Western and Asian hi-tech leaders. This technology race is only expected to accelerate - and Russian achievements merit close attention. Learn more about CNA's Center for Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence at www.cna.org/CAAI.
