Il met en lumière le rôle de la société #Américaine #Skydio, fournisseur de drones pour #Israël, dont les appareils sont désormais largement utilisés par la police #Américaine pour surveiller les manifestations, le plus souvent sans contrôle public.

Comme souvent, Gaza sert de terrain d’expérimentation pour les fabricants d’armes et les technologies de surveillance — ce que révélait déjà The Lab (édition Mutins de Pangée, disponible dans l’abonnement CinéMutins).

"AI-powered quadcopter drones used by the IDF to commit genocide in Gaza are flying over American cities, surveilling protestors and automatically uploading millions of images to an evidence database.

The drones are made by a company called Skydio which in the last few years has gone from relative obscurity to quietly become a multi-billion dollar company and the largest drone manufacturer in the US.

The extent of Skydio drone usage across the US, and the extent to which their usage has grown in just a few years, is extraordinary. The company has contracts with more than 800 law enforcement and security agencies across the country, up from 320 in March last year, and their drones are being launched hundreds of times a day to monitor people in towns and cities across the country.

Skydio has extensive links with Israel. In the first weeks of the genocide the California-based company sent more than one hundred drones to the IDF with promises of more to come. How many more were delivered since that admission is unknown. Skydio has an office in Israel and partners with DefenceSync, a local military drone contractor operating as the middle man between drone manufacturers and the IDF. "

Meet our Staff engineering panel members! First up, Toni Rib 👏

She is a Senior Software Infrastructure Engineer at Skydio and has past experience with being a Staff engineer. In the words of Kent Beck "Toni is that special kind of engineer who sees an important problem & goes after it, whether others see it (yet) or not."

"A few weeks ago, #China announced sanctions on #Skydio for selling drones to #Taiwan, where our only customer today is the National Fire Agency. This is an attack on Skydio but it’s also an attack on you, our customers. We’re proud to support critical infrastructure operators, first responders, and allied militaries around the world. We’re proud to support Taiwan, and we are undeterred."

China's Sanctions on Skydio

Earlier today I sent this note to our customers. Because this is a critical topic for the drone industry and for our national security, I'm sharing it here publicly as well.

> recent #Chinese #sanctions on the #US small #drone-maker #Skydio over its business with #Taiwan, though the company says its only customer in Taiwan is the National Fire Agency. In a blog post, Skydio said it sources components for its drones outside #China, but had gotten batteries from Chinese sources — at least until the sanctions cut off that supply. In the Oct. 30 note, the company said it’s rationing the #batteries it has in stock and is developing other sources.

Chinese sanctions on US drone firm were ‘signal’ about supply chain weaknesses: DIU official

“As a former American soldier, I don't want Chinese things in the hands of my fellow soldiers. Unacceptable,” David Michelson, director of the autonomy portfolio at the DUI, said.
