DJI's Phantom line of consumer drones is the 800-pound gorilla of the industry. And now, the company's latest flying machine, the Phantom 4 Pro, looks like it's poised to be the new king of the skies. The Phantom 4 Pro is an upgrade from last year's Phantom 4. You can now fly a full 31 miles per hour while obstacle avoidance is engaged. Previously, if you wanted to go that fast, you had to put the drone into Sport Mode, which disengaged crash avoidance. It has rear sensors now, too, so you have obstacle avoidance even when you're backing up.

AT&T and NASA are working to develop drone traffic management system It's hoped that this solution would reduce the threat of cyberattacks Firm says it would allow agencies to monitor drones in national airspace It's hoped that this solution would reduce the threat of cyberattacks AT&T has revealed a new plan to monitor every drone in the United States. The firm is collaborating with NASA to develop an Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management solution, which it hopes would reduce the threat of cyberattacks.

WELLINGTON – The world's first pizza drone delivery was claimed Wednesday by the New Zealand division of fast food giant Domino's as it looks to grab a slice of a potentially hot future market. Domino's said it used an unmanned aerial vehicle to deliver two pizzas to a customer at Whangaparaoa, just north of Auckland. The firm's boss Don Meij said drones are set to become an essential part of pizza deliveries. "They can avoid traffic congestion and traffic lights, and safely reduce the delivery time and distance by traveling directly to customers' homes," he said. Today's successful delivery was an important proof of this concept."

Chinese drone maker DJI unveiled two new drones aimed at advanced amateurs and filmmakers here Tuesday on the Warner Bros. studio backlot. The introduction comes just weeks after DJI introduced its lowest-priced, consumer drone, Mavic, which has been plagued by production issues. DJI says orders for the $750 (without controller) or full-service $999 Mavic will be filled in 4-6 weeks. The Mavic's main competition, the $1,100 GoPro Karma, was released in October and recalled two weeks later, after reports of the Karma losing power during filming. The Phantom Pro 4 is aimed at drone enthusiasts, starting at $1,499, and starts shipping next week.

Turns out that DJI's Mavik wasn't the company's only new airframe for the year. On Tuesday, a pair of updated drone models joined the family: the Phantom 4 Pro and the Inspire 2. The Phantom 4 Pro (P4P) is the upgraded version of the Phantom 4 (P4), which debuted earlier this year. The P4, if you recall, integrated a suite of obstacle avoidance systems: a pair of stereoscopic sensors mounted on the front of the drone. The P4P builds on that system, adding a second pair of stereoscopic sensors on the rear of the frame as well as an infrared sensor on either flank. These IR sensors have a 7m range -- shorter than the 30m range of the front and rear stereos but still plenty farsighted to avoid sideswiping trees and fences.

President-elect Donald Trump will be able to employ deadly drone strikes largely at his discretion if current guidelines remain in place. And President Barack Obama has no plans to change those rules before he leaves office, the Guardian reported Tuesday. The next president will inherit the so-called drones "playbook" created by the Obama administration in 2013 that dictated policy on drone strikes, the president's main way of striking against terrorism. Since drone usage began under the administration of President George W. Bush, thousands of people have been killed through the targeted strikes from unmanned aircraft and many nations across the globe consider the standards the U.S. applies for drone strikes to be too secretive. "Maybe on the left no one would believe that Trump has a steady hand, but Obama has normalized the idea that presidents get to have secret large-scale killing programs at their disposal," Naureen Shah of Amnesty International USA told the Guardian.

While the US military has enjoyed several decades of aerial dominance with few enemy fighter planes to shoot down, the emergence of ISIS drones presents a new threat to American ground troops. To combat swarms of these cheap, small dangers, the US Army is testing a new anti-air device that is designed to blow multiple UAVs out of the sky in a single shot. They call it the Phaser. The Raytheon-built "Phaser" is a microwave-emitting dish that sits atop a shipping container containing its diesel generator power source. It relies on external radar systems to track targets, then fires a burst of radiation powerful enough to fry control systems, enough to knock drones out of the air.
