Kraus Hamdani Aerospace, co-founded by Stefan Kraus, has developed a drone-based communications system designed to connect military personnel using both legacy and modern radio equipment. Kraus argues that decades-old military radio technology remains reliable because it has been extensively tested in the field, and the US military continues to rely on it rather than abandoning it.
Meteoric Technologies, founded by two Cambridge engineers, wants to deploy fleets of autonomous drones into low- and mid-altitude clouds above solar farms to alter water droplets and reduce cloud reflectivity without chemicals. The startup claims this could boost annual power generation from existing solar assets by 10-30%, though this figure comes from a computer model rather than field measurements at an actual solar farm. Its only public evidence so far is a claimed 13% dissipation of an artificial cloud in an undisclosed cloud-chamber test.
