Joby Aviation, Inc. has announced the acquisition of the autonomy division of Xwing Inc., an industry leader in the development of autonomous technology for aviation. Xwing became the first company to receive an official project designation for the certification of a large unmanned aerial system (UAS) from the Federal Aviation Administration in 2023, and the first to receive a United States Air Force Military Flight Release in 2024. “Autonomous systems are increasingly prolific in the private sector, and bring potentially game changing advantages to the Air Force as well,” said Col. Elliott Leigh, AFWERX director and chief commercialization officer for the United States Department of the Air Force. “We created Autonomy Prime to keep up with this shift, and to stay engaged as a partner while this technology evolves, so that we can adapt and evolve along with the private sector, maintaining our competitive advantage.” The acquisition brings Joby to the forefront of aviation autonomy, and the company expects the technology to play an important role in accelerating the execution of existing contract deliverables with the United States Department of Defense and expanding the potential for future contracts.

UNICEF, UN Report Highlights Severe Food Insecurity in Gaza [TOLO News] #UNICEF #Gaza Look how impressive the Afghan People are in Afghanistan, they are suffering, there’s a famine in Afghanistan, especially during the cold Afghan Winter, and now it’s very hot weather, over 100F, and yet, they still find time to raise awareness about Gaza. Surely, “God” is furious. No wonder there are hundreds of Tornadoes around the world. The price we pay for forgetting about Afghanistan after 20 years of warfare, and no repairs. Germany & Japan were repaired after WW II, it’s time to repair Afghanistan, if America does not do it, then let China and Russia do it, as embarassing as it is for the World Stage. #WhatWouldJesusDo #WhatWouldAllahDo #WhatWouldBuddhaDo
