The field-proven TeUAS will endure a series of trials and evaluations during major ADF exercises in 2025
SANFORD, Fla., June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoverfly Technologies (Hoverfly) and their Australian partners, Maser Defence, have successfully delivered Hoverfly Sentry Tethered Unmanned Aerial System (TeUAS) to an Australian Government customer for trial and evaluation. This significant milestone aligns with major Australian Defence Force (ADF) exercises in 2025, where the Sentry TeUAS will demonstrate its advanced capabilities in real-world operational environments.
ELEVATING NEW FRONTIERS
This delivery marks Hoverfly's first venture on the Australian continent. With a long history of field-proven reliability, Sentry is ready to take its field-proven capabilities to the austere and challenging environment down-under. The trailblazing TeUAS is payload agnostic, offering persistent aerial surveillance, communication network range extension, and counter UAS (cUAS) operations, among other mission sets. Its ability to provide continuous airborne operations with an uninterruptible power source is a game-changer for defence applications. By integrating seamlessly with existing command and control infrastructure, the Sentry enhances situational awareness, enabling more effective decision-making for leaders on the battlefield.
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP
Announced in February of this year, Hoverfly and Maser Defence have partnered to bring cutting-edge, mission-critical capabilities to the modern battlefield. Maser Defence, a trusted provider of advanced defence solutions in Australia, has been instrumental in facilitating the deployment of the Hoverfly Sentry. Their expertise in defence technology integration has ensured a smooth delivery and transition into trial phases, allowing the Australian Government to evaluate the system's performance under rigorous operational conditions.
ENHANCING AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE
The inclusion of the Hoverfly Sentry in major ADF exercises highlights the growing interest in tethered UAS technology for enhancing battlefield awareness and force protection. With the successful delivery of Sentry TeUAS, Hoverfly Technologies and Maser Defence are committed to supporting Australia's defence initiatives by strengthening sovereign defence capabilities and enhancing operational effectiveness for Australia's military and security forces.
As the ADF continues to modernize its technological capabilities, the integration of tethered drone systems like the Hoverfly Sentry underscores the importance of persistent aerial operations in contemporary defence operations. The ongoing trials and evaluations will shape the future of autonomous systems in the Australian Defence landscape, ensuring that personnel have access to the most advanced tethered platforms available.

Hoverfly Technologies and Maser Defence Successfully Deliver Hoverfly Sentry TeUAS for Australian Defence Force Trials

NINGBO, China, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Shanghai Cooperation Organization's (SCO) Green and Sustainable Development Forum was held in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, April 28–30. At this international event focused on green, low–carbon transition, Ningbo showcased concrete examples of harmonious coexistence between people and nature.
An abandoned quarry has been converted into an international racetrack, whose engine roars have stimulated a growing cultural and tourism sector. A once–barren "firewood trail" has been upgraded into a national mountaineering route, spawning distinctive local industries now known as the "Hometown of China's Sports Walking Sticks" and the "Capital of China's Flashlights." Ningbo continues to advance its "Eco+" integration model, turning ecological assets into industrial momentum, development potential and measurable gains in shared prosperity. The city has developed a practical path for realizing the value of lucid waters and lush mountains, offering a replicable "Ningbo model" for green, low–carbon urban transformation worldwide.
In Beilun, more than 500 species have been recorded, and the district has been designated a UN "Biodiversity Charming City." From the revitalized Meishan Bay in Beilun to the misty expanse of Dongqian Lake in Yinzhou and the historic allure of Moon Lake in Haishu, local authorities are using the "golden key" of ecological governance to revive dormant green mountains and clear waters. Notably, Ningbo's ecological governance goes beyond mountain repair and water treatment: it integrates "Eco+" development from the source through unified planning and coordinated implementation—protecting ecological foundations while preserving space for industry. This forward–looking approach has produced a win–win outcome for ecology and development; along Meishan Bay's shore, cultural tourism and leisure industries have rapidly clustered, receiving more than 2 million visitors annually.
In Fenghua, the "Common Prosperity Studio" initiative has built a full–chain platform integrating "5G + IoT + Agriculture," and introduced a model that combines village–collective fixed–rent leasing, professional enterprise operation and flexible farmer participation. In Yuyao, Hemudu pioneered China's first ecological integrated farming of breeding soft–shelled turtles in water oat fields, balancing ecological protection, food security and farmers' income growth. Zhenhai Refining & Chemical has established China's first "Zero–Waste Petrochemical Base," recognized as a national model case of a "Zero–Waste Industrial Park."
Leveraging its mountain and sea resources, Ningbo has deepened chain–based integration of "Ecology + Cultural Tourism + Sports + Manufacturing," continuously converting ecological value into tangible benefits for residents. Ninghai has transformed abandoned ancient paths into a 500–km national mountaineering trail and established a national sports–industry demonstration base. Xiangshan has used the Asian Games to invigorate coastal tourism and open channels for converting marine ecological value. Yinzhou and Haishu have developed biodiversity–friendly districts and townships, fostering new sectors such as educational tourism and cultural–creative industries.
To ensure green development proceeds steadily and sustainably, Ningbo is building a multi–stakeholder governance system that includes government, enterprises and the public. Ninghai has pioneered a "Soil and Forestland Bank," using financial instruments to unlock the value of forestry resources. Yinzhou, Cixi and other areas have mobilized broad public participation in ecological protection, creating a co–construction and shared–benefits model that supports ongoing ecological value realization.
