    Episode 17: What you need to know before fry your ESCs!!

    We will be talking about the need-to-know information about ESC's! We will help you to identify the right ESC for your build and the way they work.   sUAS News links:   Military News:   The U.S. Army just test fired a new 30 mm APEX proximity fuzzed round optimized to detonate just in front of small UAS, part of a broader push to modernize kinetic c sUAS options. https://www.army.mil/article/290943/army_tests_apex_counter_uas_round   The JIATF- 401 just released standard guidelines for test and evaluation of c‑sUAS tech, trying to unify data and performance metrics across vendors and programs so systems can be compared apples‑to‑apples. https://www.war.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/4429866/the-standard-guidelines-for-test-and-evaluation-of-counter-unmanned-aircraft-sy/    JIATF 401 also hosted an “Industry Day” this month to tighten collaboration with companies building detection, tracking, and defeat systems, emphasizing layered defense (sensing + EW + kinetic) instead of chasing a “silver bullet” single system. https://www.dvidshub.net/news/559708/jiatf-401-hosts-industry-day-strengthen-c-suas-partnerships   Commercial & industrial:   UAS Skyeton which is a Ukrainian-born unmanned aerial systems manufacturer has started to integrated gamma radiation surveillance sensors into its Raybird UAS, targeting long endurance environmental monitoring and emergency response around radiological hazards. Radiation Surveillance Payload Integrated into Raybird UAS https://www.unmannedsystemstechnology.com/2026/03/skyeton-integrates-radiation-surveillance-sensors-into-raybird-uas-expands-mission-capabilities/   Ground Control and the ArduPilot development team have demonstrated MAVLink telemetry over the Iridium Certus 100 satellite service, supporting reliable connectivity for unmanned systems operating beyond terrestrial coverage https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/ardupilot-and-the-iridium-certus-satellite-service/142601 https://www.unmannedsystemstechnology.com/2026/03/ground-control-ardupilot-demonstrate-mavlink-telemetry-over-iridium-certus/   FAA and TSA finally published a BVLOS NPRM aimed at “normalizing” routine BVLOS ops in the NAS, which is now the main policy document to watch if you’re planning scaling beyond VLOS work in the U.S. https://dronetrust.com/blogs/articles/new-faa-drone-rules-2026   #dronebusiness, #UASStartup, #DroneTech, #ohiotech, #ohio, #ohiostate, #ohiodrones, #DroneStartups, #CommercialDrones, #UASInnovation, #BlueUAS, #UASManufacturing, #DronePilots, #RemotePilot, #Part107, #drone, #StartupJourney, #TechStartups, #BootstrapBusiness, #EntrepreneurLife, #BusinessFromScratch, #SmallBusiness, #DisabledVeteranOwnedBusiness, #BusinessTips, #FPVMotor, #kv, #fpv, #ESC, #Dshot, #Dshot600, #DshotBi-directional
