In a world where access to GPS on the battlefield can win or lose a fight, Maxar is working on a solution for when having it just isn’t an option. Called Raptor, the product uses satellite mapping to build a 3D globe that can serve as an alternative to GPS.

Laws regulating the purchase and ownership of drones have skyrocketed over the last couple of years thanks to movements to ban Chinese-made drones from the US. The popularity of drones has also added other regulations, like where you can and can’t take off and land or where you can operate one from. However, Connecticut might have one of the most restrictive, and potentially unconstitutional, laws not in the works, but passed!

It looks like we have a new leaker coming onto the scene, and they have some wild claims about what the Mavic 4 Pro will be able to do.

But was that really a shock?

What was originally intended to be released with the Air 3S, the RC Track seems like it fell off the face of the Earth for a bit but has resurfaced in recent leaks by Jasper Ellens. Now, the leaker claims the new tracking beacon from DJI will release alongside the Mavic 4 Pro.

It shouldn’t come as a shock to you that DJI is more than just a drone company. They have released some of the most used tools for creatives, from gimbals and cameras to even portable power banks.

With all the talk about what drones DJI will be releasing in 2025, plenty of us are probably looking at our bank accounts trying to figure out how we’ll afford a Mavic 4 Pro or Mini 5 this year.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been going on for four years now, and just as the Spanish Civil War was a testing ground for tactics eventually used in World War II, Russia’s invasion has served as a testing ground for how drones will play a role in potential future wars (that we hope never happen). The U.S. Army has already begun taking notes and implementing changes to its brigade structures.

If there is one thing I know about DJI product releases, it’s that they are always heralded by a frenzy of leaks. That seems to be happening right about now with Jasper Ellens’ new leaks on the features, shells, and cameras of the yet-to-be-announced Mavic 4 Pro.
