  • MIL-OSI: The Last Dwarfs Announces Play-to-Invest Web3 Game Merging Strategy, Action, and Crypto Utility

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    London, UK, April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Last Dwarfs, an innovative Web3 gaming project, is reshaping how users interact with blockchain ecosystems by introducing a fully live Play-to-Invest platform. Positioned at the intersection of strategy gaming and decentralized finance, The Last Dwarfs offers a new kind of crypto experience—one where users play, earn, and grow inside an evolving token-based economy.

    As blockchain gaming gains traction across global markets, The Last Dwarfs is emerging as one of the most operationally advanced projects in the space, with over 300,000 users already onboarded and integrated directly into Telegram and the TON blockchain.

    The Last Dwarfs – A Kingdom in Ruins, A Heroic Mission

    Set in a once-prosperous dwarven kingdom devastated by a Mole invasion, players take on the role of the last surviving dwarves, tasked with rebuilding their homeland through combat, mining, and resource management.

    The game combines interactive action mechanics, like the fast-paced whack-the-mole minigame, with deeper strategy elements. Players collect and refine materials such as Stone, Bronze, Gold, Moonstone, and Sunstone, and use them to craft tools, open Mystery Boxes, upgrade pickaxes, and enhance their mining power.

    Every in-game action generates xTLD, a point-based system that reflects a player’s overall performance, efficiency, and commitment. These points unlock exclusive in-game benefits and offer users an engaging way to build their influence in the ecosystem.

    From Telegram to Treasure: How the Game Works

    Unlike most Web3 games that require complex onboarding, The Last Dwarfs is designed for frictionless access. The game runs natively as a Telegram mini-app, allowing users to jump in with just one tap—no extensions, wallets, or downloads required.

    Once inside, players can mine resources, craft items, and level up their dwarves to unlock new gameplay features and increase their strategic potential. As players progress, they gain access to exclusive systems like the Gamified Launchpad, which connects users with real blockchain opportunities through interactive challenges and future integrations.

    Crafting and Strategy – Not Just Clicks, But Choices

    Progressing in The Last Dwarfs isn’t about grinding mindlessly. It’s about smart resource management and making meaningful decisions.

    Players can:

    • Craft Mystery Boxes containing gems, extra pickaxe durability, or bonus diamonds.
    • Upgrade pickaxes to mine more efficiently and access rarer materials.
    • Balance combat, mining, and crafting to optimize their growth and unlock new tools.

    This creates a dynamic loop where strategic choices amplify progress, making the game both satisfying for casual players and deeply engaging for those who enjoy optimization and planning.

    Final Thoughts – Why The Last Dwarfs Is More Than Just Play-to-Earn

    By blending gameplay, token mechanics, and investment strategy, The Last Dwarfs is building an entirely new genre in the blockchain space: Play-to-Invest. This model transforms traditional gaming incentives into strategic, crypto-powered progress, empowering users not just to play, but to build real value.

    With ongoing updates, new features in development, and a growing user base already in place, The Last Dwarfs is poised to become one of the most disruptive and accessible projects in Web3 gaming.

    Press Release

    Nokia recognized as a Visionary in 2025 GartnerÒ Magic Quadrant for Data Center Switching

    • Nokia solution recognized for Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute in new research published by Gartner
    • Nokia data center switching solutions are designed to deliver the superior reliability, ease-of-use and adaptability required for modern data center operations

    3 April 2025
    Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced it has been named by Gartner as a Visionary in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Data Center Switching. Based on specific criteria established by the research organization, Nokia is cited for overall Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.

    At a time when data centers must power new innovations such as AI in addition to their existing application workloads, these modern environments require reliability, ease of operation and energy efficiency.

    The Nokia data center switching portfolio includes the 7220 and 7250 IXR data switching platforms, Service Router (SR) Linux network operating system, and the Event-Driven Automation (EDA) management platform. Nokia also provides support for Community SONiC-based data center switching solutions. With a quality-first design that focuses on reliability and ease-of-use, the Nokia portfolio enables seamless connectivity and high performance to support business-critical data center workloads and applications including AI. Automation enables Nokia customers to make network operations simple and predictable, and adaptability ensures easy introduction into existing customer ecosystems, environments and processes. As well, the portfolio provides support for higher interface speeds that now push to 400 GbE, 800 GbE and beyond.

    In parallel, Nokia has a 4.7/5 star rating on Gartner Peer Insights™ in data center switching based on 15 overall reviews as of 2nd April, 2025. Based on customer experience and product capabilities, the review platform aggregates user feedback. “They provide great solutions addressing some of the key issues such as Networking for AI workloads, Data Center Gateway and Interconnect,” noted a director of IT Services in response to what they like most about the product. Another reviewer on Gartner Peer Insights, a Senior Network Engineer, referenced the Nokia solution’s “…model driven CLI automation support and stability of the underlying OS” and commented: “Excellent software features available compared to other vendors using similar merchant silicon.” 

    “The data center market is hot right now, and it can be hard to separate hype from facts, theory from practice. We believe independent assessments such as the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Switching help. Nokia is one of a few suppliers with a compelling vision of where data center networking ought to go. And we aren’t alone in thinking this. Microsoft, Nscale, Kyndryl, Lenovo and more agree. If you need reliability and automated operations, Nokia simply has to be considered,” said Michael Bushong, Vice President of Data Center, Nokia.

    Magic Quadrant reports are a culmination of rigorous, fact-based research in specific markets, providing a wide-angle view of the relative positions of providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct. Providers are positioned into four quadrants: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries and Niche Players. The research enables you to get the most from market analysis in alignment with your unique business and technology needs.

  • MIL-OSI: Bio-Convert Receives Positive Feedback from The Danish Medicine Agency (DKMA) on its Lead Drug Candidate, QR-02 for Oral Leukoplakia

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BEVERLY HILLS, California, April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bio-Convert A/S (“Bio-Convert”), a subsidiary of Nordicus Partners Corporation (OTCQB: NORD) (“Nordicus” or the “Company”), a financial consulting company specializing in supporting Nordic and U.S. life sciences companies in establishing themselves in the U.S. market, announces it has received positive and constructive feedback from the Danish Medicine Agency (“DKMA”) for its lead drug candidate, QR-02 for the treatment of oral leukoplakia.

    DKMA’s feedback paves the way toward a First in Human trial, with a high likelihood of animal studies rendered dispensable for the proposed formulation and route of application.

    Allan Wehnert, CEO and Founder of Bio-Convert commented: “DKMA gave valuable and clear guidance, providing us with a clear pathway towards the initiation of the First in Human trial with QR-02 which is expected to start end of 2025.”

    Bio-Convert has developed a unique and proprietary mucoadhesive oral topical formulation for the treatment of oral leukoplakia with moderate to severe dysplasia.

    The unique feature of the gel formulation (QR-02) is its ability to stay in the oral cavity for 12-24 hours, which is significantly longer than conventional gel formulations which only stay in the oral cavity for 15-20 minutes due to the large washout effect caused by mouth saliva. The active ingredient is imiquimod which is approved for the treatment of Actinic Keratosis, External Genital Warts and Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma (sBCC).

    The goal for QR-02 is to cure and reduce the level of dysplasia so patients with oral leukoplakia potentially can be cured from their disorder.

  • MIL-OSI: H2 Clipper Transforms Aviation and Aerospace Manufacturing with Patented Swarm Robotics Innovation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — H2 Clipper, Inc. (“H2C”), a leader in sustainable hydrogen-based infrastructure and transportation, has been granted U.S. Patent No. 12,234,035 for the company’s innovative approach to using autonomous and semi-autonomous robotic swarms in aircraft and aerospace manufacturing. This milestone marks H2C’s 15th awarded patent.

    The newly issued patent is a continuation of H2C’s foundational robotics patent (U.S. Patent No. 11,851,214) granted on December 26, 2023. It extends the scope of H2C’s proprietary robotics claims to expressly cover large-scale aviation and aerospace manufacturing. The use of Swarm Robotics in aerospace production significantly reduces manufacturing time and costs, while enabling unparalleled precision and continuous round-the-clock autonomous production.

    “The issuance of this patent marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of aerospace and aviation manufacturing. By replacing traditional assembly lines with robotic swarms, this breakthrough enables aircraft and large aerospace assets to be built faster, at a significantly lower cost, and with far greater precision,” said Rinaldo Brutoco, H2C Founder and CEO. “Conservative estimates based on current aerospace production benchmarks suggest this approach can reduce total manufacturing costs by 40% or more, and cut production timeframes by up to 60%, while simultaneously improving quality.”

    H2C’s newly patented system employs a network of robots that operate collaboratively and autonomously to construct large aerospace structures with unprecedented efficiency and a significantly smaller production facility footprint. The innovation includes:

    • Automated Manufacturing: Robots work in a coordinated “swarm” to assemble airframes, attach the exterior skin, install structural and internal components, perform bonding and fastening operations, conduct in-process quality inspections, and carry-out other complex, high-precision tasks.
    • AI-Driven Optimization: Machine learning and generative AI guide the robotic swarm to self-correct, improve manufacturing precision, reduce errors, and optimize construction timelines.
    • Scalability and Safety: The system uses built-in sensors and AI-driven oversight to safely manage all operations, assuring collision-free operation and eliminating the need for workers to operate at dangerous heights. With no fixed assembly line or gantries required, manufacturing can be supervised remotely and scaled across multiple locations.
    • Heavy-Lift Robotics Integration: The technology enables large-scale structures to be constructed entirely in place—horizontally or vertically—using autonomous robots capable of repositioning and aligning major components. This flexibility supports multiple assembly approaches while reducing infrastructure requirements and improving safety.

    Whereas traditionally, aircraft must be moved through multiple stages, requiring massive facilities, complex scheduling and high logistical overhead, these assets are built in place using H2C’s approach, eliminating costly movement, saving time, and reducing the need for assembly line infrastructure. H2C’s focus on Swarm Robotics arose from its pursuit of a manufacturing approach that would be suited for constructing its Pipeline-in-the-Sky™ airships. But it soon realized the applicability of the novel approach to addressing multiple challenges faced in all aviation and aerospace manufacturing. With the continuation patent now issued, the company plans to assemble a select group of industry leaders in aerospace engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, regulatory affairs, and advanced manufacturing to guide the next phase of development and demonstration. This expert team will play a key role in shaping a technology roadmap that supports potential licensing to OEMs—and may lay the groundwork for a broader industry consortium to accelerate adoption of Swarm Robotics across the aerospace sector.

    “This patent represents a game-changing moment for aerospace manufacturing—a shift as significant as the invention of the assembly line itself,” added Brutoco. “Swarm Robotics gives OEMs the ability to build aircraft and spacecraft smarter, faster, and more affordably than ever before, opening the door to a new era in aviation and the future of flight.”

    H2C was selected in 2021 for inclusion in Dassault Systèmes’ prestigious 3DEXPERIENCE® Lab accelerator program; and in 2024, H2C and Dassault agreed on a renewed three-year contract to further develop robotic software for this novel construction method.

    H2C is represented in intellectual property matters by John C. Serio, a Partner in the Boston Intellectual Property and Technology Group at Withers Worldwide.

    About H2 Clipper, Inc. (H2C)
    H2C is the developer of high-speed, Pipeline-in-the-Sky™ hydrogen-powered airships for long distance global transport that use no fossil fuels and have a host of commercial and humanitarian applications, and of the novel H2C Safety Pipe™ for “last mile” distribution of hydrogen to end users. Since 2008, the company has made significant strategic investments to research, develop, and patent core IP in modern airship design, including advanced software systems, and midstream solutions for efficient delivery of both gaseous and liquid hydrogen.

    “At AssetVal, we’ve built our reputation on delivering high-quality valuations – and BPOs are no exception,” said Tami Rund, CEO at AssetVal. “Restb.ai’s AI solutions allow us to validate property condition and quality more consistently to improve BPO accuracy, giving our clients greater confidence in every price opinion we deliver.”

    Enhancing BPO accuracy leveraging visual intelligence
    AssetVal’s integration of Restb.ai brings powerful automation to its BPO workflow, enabling:

    • Heightening the quality of BPOs: Leveraging Restb.ai solutions to detect property conditions and quality more consistently and objectively.
    • Greater BPO accuracy: By more accurately matching comparables of similar condition and quality, AssetVal improves alignment with true market value.
    • Reduced valuation drift: The new capabilities help mitigate inconsistencies between multiple BPOs on the same property, an ongoing challenge in high-volume servicing environments.

    “AssetVal is setting a new standard for BPO quality,” said Tony Pistilli, President, Valuation at Restb.ai. “By embedding our computer vision capabilities, they’re enabling their broker network to focus on valuation insights instead of subjective image review, all while improving consistency across the board.”

  • MIL-OSI: EarthOptics Launches Scalable $4/Acre Total Farm Platform, Marking Its First Significant Step Post-Merger with Pattern Ag

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MINNEAPOLIS, April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EarthOptics announced its new subscription-based Total Farm program for the 2025 crop year. This is the company’s first collaborative release following last year’s merger of EarthOptics and Pattern Ag, two ag technology firms each founded in 2018. The Total Farm program combines the EarthOptics GroundOwl™ sensor suite, soil biological test results (DNA), a farmer’s yield data, and satellite imagery to produce full-field soil fertility and crop planning recommendations that farmers can use to increase yield profitability and lower input costs.

    Agronomic advisors and farmers who sign up for the Total Farm program receive a comprehensive data service, including a high-resolution nutrient map that shows automated variable-rate soil fertility prescriptions and soil biological risk assessments. The new platform keeps farmers informed about key in-season and long-term agronomic decisions across their entire farm, with the goal of improving their efficiency, productivity, and input optimization. A Total Farm subscription includes soil testing and analysis, crop protection recommendations, fertility prescriptions, and use of a first-of-its-kind crop planning tool, all at a flat rate of $4 per acre.

    “Total Farm makes the highest-resolution agronomic data accessible and actionable to farmers at the whole-farm level,” said Dr. Lars Dyrud, EarthOptics CEO. “We integrate soil biology, soil fertility, and yield-based data into a single workflow that farmers and their trusted advisors can use to make informed decisions and eliminate much of the guesswork that goes into crop planning.”

    Once farmers are enrolled in the Total Farm program, EarthOptics seamlessly handles everything for the customer from start to finish, including soil testing, laboratory analysis, and results reporting. The entire process is managed and carefully documented within the EarthOptics chain of custody, ensuring testing integrity along with fast, reliable results.

    Farmers and their trusted advisors can export Total Farm recommendations in multiple file formats, including shapefiles, for use with farm machinery or prescription software. For example, Total Farm is compatible with and integrates with most popular ag data platforms, including Climate FieldView, MyJohnDeere, CNH, and Raven.

    With more than 4.6 million acres being measured, EarthOptics continues expanding its reach through its vast dealer network of participating agronomists, seed dealers, ag retailers, and professional crop consultants.

    “EarthOptics and PatternAg merged to join complementary technologies and data systems,” said Dyrud. “Our first collaboration is a platform that supports a new level of accurate agronomic decision-making while contributing to improved soil health and more targeted use of fertilizer and crop inputs. Total Farm is the beginning of many great new product offerings on the horizon that we are working to create and launch in coming months and years.”

    Interested farmers can enroll in the Total Farm program and schedule soil sampling either before planting or after the harvest. Enrollment operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, with early signups prioritized for soil sampling, testing, and planning in the upcoming 2026 crop year.

  • MIL-OSI: YMX Logistics CEO Speaking on Panel at ACT Expo on the Electrification of Yard Operations

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HENDERSON, Nev., April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YMX Logistics, a national leader in integrated yard logistics, including gate management, spotting and shuttling services, trailer rentals, and yard management technology solutions, announces that CEO Matt Yearling will participate on a panel at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, discussing the electrification of logistics.

    Warehouse Sector: Logistics from Storage to Shipment will take place on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 4:15 PM in Room 157 – 159 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. The panel of logistics experts will explore cutting-edge strategies and technologies to maximize the efficiency of distribution centers and manufacturing plants’ operations.

    Manufacturing and distribution facilities are under pressure to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. Discover how technologies like yard trucks, forklifts, and pallet jacks lead the transition to alternative fuels in warehouse operations.

    “With substantial reductions in fuel costs, maintenance expenses, and carbon emissions, EV yard trucks are emerging as a strategic necessity rather than a luxury,” says Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics. “For enterprise shippers looking to optimize yard operations without taking on the burden of fleet ownership, outsourcing to a specialized yard logistics provider that deploys EV yard trucks offers a scalable, cost-effective path to efficiency and sustainability.”

    Matt Yearling is a strong advocate for electrifying yard operations and will be discussing the need for how yard operations must evolve. He will discuss how YMX has created a new gold standard for yard operations, delivering operational excellence through service excellence, electrification, technology enablement, and process optimization. YMX recently introduced YMS OS, a proprietary logistics framework designed to optimize YMX yard operations through technology-enabled insights and execution. YMX OS is redefining how enterprise yard operations can create value at the intersection of operations and technology.

    Matt will also discuss whether enterprises should manage the transition to EV trucks in-house or outsource yard management to a yard logistics provider. Outsourcing yard operations to an integrated yard logistics provider that operates EV yard trucks can unlock immediate benefits like cost reduction, fuel savings, and lower maintenance costs.

    ACT Expo is the largest conference and trade show highlighting the most advanced transportation technologies and renewable fuels available in the marketplace today. The show serves as the official annual meeting place for 12,000+ transportation leaders looking to gain insight and hands-on access to the fuels, technologies, and vehicles driving the future of transportation. ACT Expo features dozens of product debuts and significant announcements from leading OEMs and suppliers, unparalleled networking opportunities with the industry’s most influential and progressive leaders, peer-to-peer learning for progressive fleet operators, and access to the most extensive assembly of advanced commercial vehicles anywhere.

  • MIL-OSI: Drone Surveying Market One of The Fastest Growing Segments of the Drone Industry as Revenue Opportunity Climbs

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – The US Drone Surveying Market has been the Global Market Leader in recent years and is expected to continue for years to come. The US has been the market leader in the drone industry since the start of the drone revolution. Across industries, companies have employed drones for their day-to-day operations. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, mining, real estate, and agriculture are some of the prominent end-use industries for the drone surveying market. According to an industry report, the US drone surveying market is expected to witness double-digit market growth in the forecast period and is expected to reach a valuation of US$ 2540.0 million by the end of 2033. The construction and mining industry is expected to be the market leader in the demand for drone surveying services. Increased spending from governments and rising demand for residential and commercial spaces would add a significantly high pace to the overall drone surveying demand in the US. The report said; “Why Land Survey Commands Largest Market Share? The drone land survey as a service is a common one among all industries. The demand for land surveys arises from sectors such as construction, mining, energy, real estate, public administration, and agriculture among others. That is why land survey services contribute most to the drone survey company’s revenue. The drone land survey holds around 53% of the total market share in the drone survey industry. With the help of drone land surveys, companies/institutions get their desired datasets which ultimately help them in making informed decisions. For example, a land survey for infrastructure development can help companies and planning and development by providing required 3D maps or images. It is expected that the land survey market to remain the top revenue contributor for drone survey service providers.”   Active Companies in the drone industry today include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR), EHang (NASDAQ: EH), Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT).

    Fact.MR continued: “Construction Industry to Contribute Most to the Drone Surveying Service Demand. The spending on infrastructural development has been all-time high across the major economies of the world. The market players are taking the help of drone service providers in different stages of planning and development. Drone surveying companies provide services for the use of town planning, land record digitalization, urban city development, and other development-related services. With the help of drones, companies are able to cover increased areas (acres of land/area) within no time, and with precise and accurate data. These collected images and data can be easily converted into meaningful output, which can be useful in the planning and development of urban towns. Drone surveying has been very useful for the construction industry by providing important insights with minimal cost and improved efficiency.”

    ZenaTech (NASDAQ:ZENA) Closes Second Southeast Region Acquisition, Wallace Surveying Corporation, Set to Become the Third Acquisition to Power Its National Drone as a Service (DaaS) Business – ZenaTech, Inc. (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that it has closed the acquisition of Wallace Surveying Corporation (“Wallace”) of West Palm Beach, Florida, a well-established land survey company with thirty years of experience. Wallace provides construction and land development surveys delivering accurate and reliable data that supports project planning and design for developers, contractors, engineers, and architect customers.

    This is ZenaTech’s second acquisition in the Southeast region as part of a larger national roll-up strategy to disrupt the land survey industry by accelerating the use of drones for speed and accuracy benefits. The acquisition also further powers the Company’s national Drone as a Service, or DaaS, business as the third US acquisition set to provide access to the ZenaDrone 1000 and the IQ series. These multifunction drones are set to provide a variety of services including power line inspections, precision agriculture, law enforcement, and search and rescue for natural disasters such as hurricanes.

    “Wallace Surveying Corporation is well respected in the South Florida business community with longstanding existing customer relationships. Its team brings considerable expertise toward our goal of innovating land surveys at scale leveraging advanced drone data collection, data management, mapping and digital deliverables. This acquisition is another step towards our vision to create a national DaaS business, bringing AI drone efficiencies and precision to a variety of legacy verticals and manual tasks,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

    ZenaTech’s Drones as a Service or DaaS model is similar to Software as a Service (SaaS), but instead of providing software solutions over the Internet, the company will offer ZenaDrone solutions and services on a subscription or pay-per-use basis. Customers can conveniently access drones for eliminating manual or time-consuming tasks achieving more precision, such as for surveying, inspections, security and law enforcement, or farming precision agriculture applications, without having to buy, operate, or maintain the drones themselves.

    The DaaS business model offers customers such as government agencies, real estate developers, construction firms, farmers or energy companies reduced upfront costs as there is no need to purchase expensive drones, as well as convenience, as there is no need to manage maintenance and operation. The model also offers scalability to use more often or less often based on business needs and enables access to advanced drone technology sensors or attachments like spraying, without the need for specialized training.

    Accurate land surveys are essential for the planning, designing, and executing of roads, bridges, and building projects for cities, commercial, and residential projects, and are required for legal purposes. Remotely piloted drones with an array of sensors and cameras, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and GPS systems for capturing high-resolution pictures and data are revolutionizing the land survey industry gathering aerial data across expansive terrains in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months using more traditional photogrammetry methods. Continued… Read this full release by visiting: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-zena/.

    Other recent developments in the drone/aviation industries include:

    Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) recently announced a partnership today to build the AI foundation for the future of next-gen aviation technologies. For decades, the aviation industry has made only incremental improvements, constrained by legacy technology and a dominant duopoly in commercial aviation. With the rapid acceleration of AI, as well as breakthroughs in distributed electric propulsion, the industry is now poised for change.

    The two plan to leverage Palantir Foundry and AIP to accelerate the scaling of Archer’s aircraft manufacturing capabilities at its facilities in Georgia and Silicon Valley, with the intent to advance the development of software solutions to drive innovation across the entire value chain.

    This would include the development of next-gen software utilizing AI to improve a range of aviation systems, including air traffic control, movement control and route planning, with the goal of improving efficiency, safety and affordability across the industry.

    Archer and Palantir will formalize this partnership later today during a signing ceremony between Palantir co-founder and CEO, Alex Karp, and Archer founder and CEO, Adam Goldstein, at Palantir’s AIPCon.

    EHang (NASDAQ: EH), the world’s leading Urban Air Mobility (UAM) technology platform company, recently announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guangdong EHang General Aviation Co., Ltd. (“EHang General Aviation”), and its joint venture company in Hefei, Hefei HeYi Aviation Co., Ltd. (“HeYi Aviation”), have been granted the first batch of Air Operator Certificates (“OC”) for civil human-carrying pilotless aerial vehicles by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (“CAAC”).

    This milestone officially marks the launch of China’s human-carrying flight era in the low-altitude economy, allowing citizens and consumers to purchase flight tickets for low-altitude tourism, urban sightseeing, and diverse commercial human-carrying flight services at related operation sites in Guangzhou and Hefei. In the future, operators will also gradually expand into more other scenarios such as urban commuting based on operational conditions legally and compliantly. The issuance of the first batch of OCs sets a new benchmark for the low-altitude economy and urban air mobility and further unleashing a more powerful vitality of the new-quality productive forces.

    Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT), a drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government, and commercial operations, recently reported its financial results for the 2024 Transition Period (as of December 31, 2024 and the eight months then ended) and provides a corporate update.

    “Red Cat’s partnerships and global expansion strategy is already yielding strong results. Over the past few months, we’ve introduced the Black Widow and Edge 130 drones to key international markets, including the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and soon Latin America,” said Jeff Thompson, Red Cat CEO. “This momentum underscores growing global interest in our Family of Systems. The ongoing development of Black Widow for the U.S. Army’s SRR Program of Record, bolstered by AI partners like Palantir and Palladyne, we’re not only meeting immediate defense needs—we’re ensuring our warfighters and allies are well equipped for rapidly-evolving battlefield.”
