Remembering 9/11
Wednesday, September 11th, 2019Although we’re currently at a trade show in London, we’re going to take a pause and remember the loss and sacrifice made by so many on September 11th, 2001 and in the ensuing years.
On this anniversary, we want to honor the heroes of Flight 93 who made a decision that they weren’t going to become pawns in a crazed attempt to decapitate our government. They took the enemy on, firsthand. They will always have our respect.

Drone Evolution Launches Unjammable Drone Technology At DSEI 2019
Tuesday, September 10th, 2019London, 11th September, 2019: Drone Evolution launches its new patented rotary UAV protection technology at DSEI 2019. Named SafeFlight, the system protects delivery drones from being jammed and its titanium shell protects it from a variety of external forces.
Using a range of navigation systems, SafeFlight can switch between them if it comes under attack, meaning that it can always stay on course for its destination. The titanium shell ensures it remains lightweight but impervious to small arms fire and laser attacks. Anti-jamming systems in the motors mean that they also remain resilient to electronic interference.
Toby Townrow, Communications Director at Drone Evolution, said: “We’re really excited to start telling the world about SafeFlight. Development of SafeFlight technology means that the nascent drone delivery industry can protect the public, the assets and the integrity of the industry itself, knowing that delivered items will always reach their destination however much bad actors may want to interfere with it.
“We are delighted to take Drone Evolution to its next level both in business and technology. I am particularly looking forward to launching this concept at DSEI 2019. This could be a game-changer for drone deliveries, one that could help to see them finally become a reality in both military and civilian life.”
L3Harris Technologies to Showcase Falcon IV Family of Tactical Radios at Defense Security Equipment International Show
Tuesday, September 10th, 2019LONDON (DSEI STAND S-7 310)
Sep 10, 2019
Highlights:
• Radios offer software defined, multichannel capabilities in a single, integrated, power-efficient platform
• Delivers next-generation capabilities and full interoperability with previous Falcon radios
• Provides resilient communications for congested/denied environments
L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) will showcase members of its Falcon IV® family of radios – which offer users an integrated view of the battlefield in a single, multichannel platform – at the Defense Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2019 tradeshow in London September 10-13.
The Falcon IV® family of radios delivers the convergence of next-generation capabilities including HD full-motion video, situational awareness, voice, multi-channel crossbanding and enemy RF sensing and awareness in a single, integrated, power-efficient platform.
Capabilities of the Falcon IV® platforms include:
• Multiband/multi-mission: enables users to match the right frequency band that is most appropriate for the mission.
• Library of waveforms: enables full primary, alternate, contingency and emergency communications allowing users to complete their mission in congested and denied RF environments.
• Multi-channel: ability to access numerous channels eliminates the need to carry multiple radios.
• Extended wideband: increased throughput for high-definition, full-motion video in an easy-to-deploy network mode.
• Software defined encryption: L3Harris’ Sierra II and Denali® security architectures provide high-data-rate encryption with the ability to modernize with a simple software update that requires no hardware replacement.
• Crossbanding: controlled management of information (voice, data, images) and access from disparate groups, providing simplified command of complex or joint operations.
• Mission modules: standard interfaces enable seamless extension of the platform’s capabilities.
“The Falcon IV® family demonstrates L3Harris’ commitment to advancing tactical communications to give our warfighters the next-generation capabilities and situational awareness they need on today’s multi-domain battlefield,” said Dana Mehnert, President, L3Harris Communication Systems. “L3Harris’ Falcon family ensures the warfighter has the security, interoperability and resilient networking capabilities needed to maneuver, fight, and win on the contested and congested battlefield.”
