French officials are developing and testing a new type for drones. Diodon, a drone designed for reconnaissance, patrol and engagement missions against criminal and hostile targets, is being developed by the French government. Benjamin Briere, a French drone pilot was recently arrested by the French government. Briere flew the drone near Iran-Turkmenistan's border. Safran is also working on a glider-capable drone. This type aircraft will be more efficient than any other drones in accomplishing its mission, including aerial spotter.
Diodon's drones are intended for detection, patrol, reconnaissance, surveillance and engagement with criminal or hostile targets
French drones designed by Diodon to perform a variety of missions. They can be used in reconnaissance and surveillance roles as well as engaging with criminal or hostile targets. The HP30 drone can be used on patrol missions up to 30 seconds. The drone can be launched by submarines, and it has a range that exceeds eight kilometers.
J-UCAS is a program that combines the Air Force, Navy and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The A-160 Hummingbird stealthily rotorcraft is designed for tactical and long-dwell ISR missions. J-UCAS Advanced Technology Demonstration, (J-UCAS), is a stealthy, unmanned combat helicopter that allows the military and police to engage hostile and criminal targets from air.
Benjamin Briere was detained after he flew a drone close to the Iran-Turkmenistan border
French citizen Benjamin Briere was recently arrested in Iran after he was accused of flying a drone near the Iranian-Turkmenistan border. Briere is currently being held in isolation, but he's the only Westerner to be detained by the Iranian regime. This case has added tension to already turbulent relations between Iran & Western powers over Iran’s nuke program. They are currently meeting in Vienna to try to salvage an agreement international that would curb Iran's nukes and lift economic sanctions.
While France condemned the decision to jail Briere, the Iranian government has been arguing that his conviction is based on slander and propaganda. While Iran repeatedly denied Briere's allegations, the Iranian government claims Briere is being used by the Iranian government as a bargaining chip during nuclear negotiations with America. France has dismissed the eight-year sentence as unfair and unjust.
Safran will build a drone with glide capabilities
Safran and Ministry of Defense have signed a new contract for French military personnel. France will buy fourteen Patroller tactical drones. They will be in service in 2018. Jean-Yves Le Drian (defense minister) signed the contract in a Safran factory in Sagem, France. He met with Jean-Yves Le Drian, Defense Minister. The deal will be worth EUR300 million ($341 million) and will include 12 years of maintenance.
These plans are ambitious, but they're a step in a good direction. First, Safran partnered with Valeo in order to jointly research the assisted driving market. The two companies are not competitors, but share similar technology needs. The companies will work together to increase their collective expertise and speed up the development of products that meet this market's growing needs. Eventually, other companies, research institutes and innovative small businesses could join the project.

How To
How Do I Clean My Drone?
These are some important things to remember before cleaning your drone. This guide will help you make sure that you get the most out of your drone.
-
You should have the right tools. Before you start anything, make sure you have everything you need at hand. You'll need a soft brush (or a toothbrush) and cleaning solution (we recommend WD40)
-
Take out the battery pack. First, take out the battery. It is easy to locate the battery under your propeller. Be careful not to loose screws during removal.
-
Remove all components. Next, you'll need to carefully remove all of the parts from the underside of your drone. Check that none of them are loose, as they may fall off when you try to clean the machine.
-
Use a cleaning solution. It's now time to clean your drone. Before doing so, we recommend using a cleaning solution such as WD40. Use the cleaner to spray your drone's entire surface. Be sure to get in between all components. Leave it to dry completely before putting everything back together.
-
Replace the battery. Once you have cleaned the drone, make sure to put it back in its place. This will allow you to check how your drone performs after cleaning.
