OS-SCI<p>Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb launched over 100 FPV drones targeting Russian airbases, using open-source ArduPilot software. Co-founder Chris Anderson was surprised to hear their creation played a role in the attack. Open source continues to shape modern technology and warfare. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Russia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DroneAttack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DroneAttack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ArduPilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArduPilot</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OperationSpiderweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OperationSpiderweb</span></a>"<br>Link: <a href="https://news.itsfoss.com/open-source-drone-attack/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">news.itsfoss.com/open-source-d</span><span class="invisible">rone-attack/</span></a></p>

Hack In Days of Futur Past<p>🚁✨ Just discovered that ArduPilot can now handle automatic landings for RC planes using a LiDAR sensor! This is a game-changer for FPV enthusiasts like me.
