2026-08-26 Demonstration Gelion Power Systems 2026-08-26 · demonstration · Gelion Power Systems
Evidence notes QinetiQ applied a repeated mission profile of 6C take-off, 3C cruise and 6C landing across 50 cycles. The cells paired Gelion’s NES cathode with lithium-metal anodes and maintained stable voltage and power with limited degradation. The programme finished on time and budget and gives Gelion a validated basis for discussions with defence, aerospace and drone partners. Date 2026-08-26

2026-08-24 · demonstration · Hanshin Electric Railway Automotive
Evidence notes Vehicle operations are scheduled from August 31, 2026 through January 30, 2027, with public rides planned from mid-November. The programme uses a TIER IV Minibus 2.0 vehicle and involves Hanshin Bus and autonomy-technology collaborators. The project is working toward Level 4 authorization in fiscal 2027; the Aug. 24 event is the trial announcement, not Level 4 approval or an active public service. Date 2026-08-24

2026-08-24 · demonstration · Shield AI Defense
Evidence notes Hivemind generated 189 commands that passed NOVI’s SAFE validation over a 24-hour test window. The hybrid experiment used Sedaro simulation infrastructure to connect the live spacecraft with five virtual peers. This is a validated on-orbit autonomy demonstration, not evidence that Hivemind now operates an autonomous commercial constellation. Date 2026-08-24

2026-08-20 · demonstration · Saildrone Saildrone Surveyor Defense
Evidence notes The Surveyor acted on target data for a surrogate high-speed surface craft during the live-fire exercise near Hawaii. The team moved from concept to demonstration in six months in partnership with the U.S. Navy. A separate passive electronic-warfare test used the Surveyor with an MH-60S helicopter to detect, classify and identify a surrogate threat radar. Date 2026-08-20

Evidence notes AEON learns industrial tasks through imitation learning and repeated execution on representative Schaeffler applications. The programme supports a planned rollout of at least 1,000 AEON humanoids across Schaeffler manufacturing operations over the coming years. Schaeffler is both a prospective operator and an actuator supplier for AEON under the companies’ strategic partnership. Date 2026-08-19

Evidence notes The UGV will be configured for autonomous logistics, casualty evacuation, communications and mobile power. The evaluation configuration includes two AN/VRC-158 radios, five Universal Battery Chargers, extended cargo rails and 15 kW power export. Hunter WOLF can carry up to 2,800 lb, and the trial follows Army evaluations with the 10th Mountain Division and 101st Airborne Division. Date 2026-08-17

2026-08-14 · demonstration · Portal Aircraft Defense
Evidence notes The architecture uses one gas turbine to feed distributed rotors, potentially removing batteries, electric lift motors, long driveshafts and a central gearbox. Portal is targeting longer-endurance vertical-lift aircraft that can refuel rapidly for defence and commercial missions. The test advances an early propulsion concept being developed through a U.S. small-business research programme. Date 2026-08-14

Evidence notes The FV-014 has a stated range of up to 100 kilometres and uses autonomous navigation for long-range strike missions. Rheinmetall says the system can coordinate multiple assets and support swarm operations through its mission architecture. The containerized launcher is mounted on an HX tactical truck and was validated in both stationary and moving-launch configurations. Date 2026-08-13

2026-08-12 · demonstration · X Square Robot Humanoid
Evidence notes The system identified, picked, reoriented and fed mixed boxes and soft packages from irregular piles onto a scanning conveyor. Its six-axis arm could flip and flatten packages, square boxes and turn labels toward the scanner before induction. WALL-B adapted its manipulation strategy as the pile changed and intervened to recover a misrouted parcel during the live workflow. Date 2026-08-12

2026-08-11 · demonstration · HII Unmanned Systems Defense
Evidence notes MetalCraft Marine supplied the 25-foot Watcher hull while HII integrated its Odyssey autonomous-control software, creating the ROMULUS-25 configuration evaluated through the programme. The two prototypes were delivered in December 2025 and subsequently demonstrated autonomous mission behaviours during at-sea testing for the U.S. Marine Corps. Successful prototype completion allows the Department of War to consider follow-on production through an Other Transaction Agreement without reopening a conventional competition. Date 2026-08-11

2026-08-10 · demonstration · Raytheon Defense
Evidence notes HADALUS completed a submerged launch and at-sea mission sequence during the Navy exercise. The companies describe more than 2,000 nautical miles of endurance and a prototype cycle from concept to water in under 18 months. The exercise validated the integrated vehicle in water across launch, submerged operation and mission execution. The companies describe the vehicle as having more than 2,000 nautical miles of endurance and said the integrated prototype moved from concept to water in under 18 months. The demonstration showed the integrated low-cost, long-endurance capability in water; this record does not infer a product launch or production order. Date 2026-08-10

Evidence notes SensorMAX used acoustic data from sonobuoys to support anti-submarine warfare operations during RIMPAC 2026. Operators retrained the AI model in under five minutes per iteration and pushed encrypted over-the-air updates back to the participating MH-60R helicopters. Aircrew managed eight simultaneous sonobuoy surveillance feeds, twice the capacity of the legacy system, across two MH-60R helicopters. Date 2026-08-05
