TB-001 spotted again by JMSDF. That looks like a chin mounted radar (SAR maybe?).

TB-001 from another angle with a better look at the nose mounted radar.

Hilarious, I had never heard of this Brinc before this article, only Skydio. Yet it is the second biggest in the USA? The “production line” looks like it belongs in Ukraine. More like a workshop.

Judging by the quotes and a quick Google search, seems like cops hate them. Like they try to support American company but are left with a horribly bitter experience to pay so much for a bad product and unreliable paid support.

This is tangentially related, but I see military applications down the road.

A solar powered micro-UAV developed by Beihang University. It weighs only 4.21 grams and is driven by a super efficient electrostatic motor. It's the world's first solar powered micro-UAV capable of untethered sustained flight.
