Competing drone companies just proved they can solve interoperability faster in the open than any of them could do alone this week at the Dronecode Foundation MAVLink-M Integration Hackathon!

Read the press release to find out more: dronecode.org/drone-industry…

Nine Dronecode members on the floor at #XPO2026 in Detroit this week, plus our Board Chair @drlorenzmeier on the keynote stage Wed May 13 with DIU + Altana.
Booth map, sessions, and the full rundown 👇 dronecode.org/dronecode-memb…

The MAVLink-M workgroup kickoff in Washington DC was a major success. Special thanks to @drlorenzmeier and the @auterion team for sponsoring the event and making it happen.

Thanks also to everyone who made the trip out, and to our wonderful board directors. @mrpollo

🚁 Dronecode is forming a working group to steward MAVLink-M, with early collaboration from @auterion, @neros_tech, and @modal_ai.

Kicking off May 7 in DC at Auterion Forge. See you there.
