Using cutting-edge tech to disrupt threat from drones. Technology used by UK Defence can electronically disrupt unauthorised drones posing a threat to the Olympic Games in Paris. The technology is currently being operated by the Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) Wing, part of the RAF Combat and Readiness Force (CRF). The denial of improvised aerial-threats is done through electronic means. Recently, the RAF CRF Team successfully disrupted several nuisance drones, denying them entry to sensitive areas associated with the Games. The Team recently met the Secretary of State for Defence alongside a team of Military Working Dogs and their handlers, who are also part of UK support to this amazing event. #StrongerTogether #EntenteCordiale British Army, UK Ministry of Defence.

This weekend at the Royal International Air Tattoo, Boeing Defense, Space & Security announced that its military aircraft, including the RAF’s Poseidon, Chinook, C-17 Globemaster, and future aircraft such as the Wedgetail, can operate on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at currently approved limits of up to 50% blend with conventional fuel. The global No Technical Objection (NTO) states there are no technical issues with Boeing defence aircraft operating on synthetic aviation turbine fuels, which includes SAF and the announcement is a welcome step in the more widespread adoption of SAF by air forces around the world. As a result of previous work in 2020, the RAF cleared all of its military aircraft for 50% SAF and has continued to be at the forefront of trailing the use of SAF with the data gathered informing the MoD’s Defence Aviation Net Zero Strategy. As well as contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions, more widespread adoption of SAF amongst allies will enhance global interoperability, maintaining the RAF’s ability to operate anywhere that is required.
