UAV Systems and Swarm Robotics
The unstable nature of the dynamics of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) might significantly increase the complexity of their control strategies. In addition, some UAV systems require robust and fast stabilization to perform certain maneuvers. In particular, tail-sitter...
Federated Learning Semantic Communication in UAV Systems: PPO-Based Joint Trajectory and Resource Allocation Optimization
This thesis explores the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) for controlling a fixed-wing UAV in attitude and waypoint tracking under varying wind conditions. Unlike traditional controllers such as PID or MPC that rely on accurate models, RL provides a data-driven...
Reinforcement learning based control of a fixed-wing UAV under wind disturbances
This thesis explores the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) for controlling a fixed-wing UAV in attitude and waypoint tracking under varying wind conditions. Unlike traditional controllers such as PID or MPC that rely on accurate models, RL provides a data-driven...
Boosting All-in-One UAV Image Restoration via Degradation-Aware Frequency Prompt State Space Model
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-captured images are easily affected by various degradations such as motion blur, noise, low illumination, haze, and raindrops in complex environments, and these degradations exhibit significant differences in the frequency domain....
Renault se diversifie : du véhicule civil au drone militaire
Le constructeur automobile français Renault s’engage dans la production de drones de combat en partenariat avec la PME Turgis Gaillard. Le projet, baptisé « Chorus » et soutenu par un contrat potentiel d’un milliard d’euros avec l’État, viserait à produire en série...
Predictive maintenance and life cycle management for armoured vehicles
Europe is rapidly increasing the size of armoured vehicle fleets, but it is long-term readiness – not acquisition – that has become the key challenge. Recurring issues such as shortage of parts, technical-data gaps, and uneven maintenance capacity are also limiting...
Le 12e Régiment de Cuirassiers a mis au point sa propre munition rôdeuse filoguidée
Lors de ses vœux aux armées, le président Macron a reproché aux industriels français de ne pas en faire assez dans le domaine des drones. Et il les a exhortés à réagir « vite et fort ». « Nous devons aller plus vite, car nous avons vu la capacité d’innovation et...
Royal Navy’s helicopter drone makes its first autonomous flight
The Royal Navy has conducted the first flight of a helicopter-sized autonomous drone that is planned to operate from its ships in support of missions, including hunting for hostile submarines. Currently known as Proteus, the drone has now completed its first flight at...
Epirus achieves first takedown of fiber-optic guided drone with microwave system
In a global first, US defense startup Epirus successfully disabled and crashed a fiber-optic guided drone using a lightweight version of its Leonidas high-power microwave (HPM) system during a test in December 2025. The demonstration represents a landmark... Pour en...
Renault noue un partenariat avec Turgis & Gaillard pour produire des drones sous l’égide de la DGA
Il y a près d’un an, Emmanuel Chiva, alors Délégué général pour l’armement avait estimé que le ministère des Armées devait simplifier ses procédures d’achat pour favoriser une production en masse. « Si après-demain on est obligé d’équiper une brigade ou une division...
