NODA AI Inc. Co-Founder David Corbett and Darkhive’s Eliezar Vigdorchik and Mitchell Hamilton watch as Eric Johnson lands a Darkhive unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) named Obelisk during an Advanced Naval Technology Exercise Coastal Trident event on Aug. 6 at the Port of Hueneme in California. Vigdorchik is a Darkhive systems engineer, and Hamilton serves as Darkhive’s remote pilot in command. Johnson is the company’s systems integration engineer. Obelisk is an autonomous short-range reconnaissance drone designed to collect tactical data.
