REGENT announced the successful first ground-effect flight of\u00a0Squire, its autonomous Seaglider drone built for defense missions. This milestone represents the first time a defense-specific wing-in-ground effect (WIG) craft has flown in the United States, positioning the U.S. to overtake China in this critical technology space. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nThe flight demonstration marks the latest achievement in REGENT\u2019s ongoing Squire test campaign and underscores the company\u2019s deliberate prioritization of the platform in response to urgent defense needs. REGENT is advancing Squire and other defense-specific Seaglider vessels to support the U.S. and its allies with modern maritime capabilities as they address the growing threat posed by China in the Indo-Pacific.\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n
