Corridian raises $38M to build giant underwater drones that carry cargo
Corridian, a New England defense startup, has just emerged from stealth mode with an impressive $38 million in seed funding. Their goal? To develop large underwater drones capable of transporting military cargo across challenging ocean territories, all while remaining hidden from view and operating without a crew. This innovative approach aims to enhance the safety and efficiency of military logistics. The funding round was led by Point72 Ventures, and it also saw participation from several other investors, including Balerion Space Ventures, Harpoon Ventures, DCVC, and Marlinspike. This backing highlights a growing interest in advanced defense technologies, especially those that can operate in contested environments. By utilizing underwater drones, Corridian hopes to address the vulnerabilities of traditional cargo transport methods, which can be exposed to various threats. The idea is to create a more secure and discreet way to move essential supplies, which could be a game-changer in military operations. As they move forward, it will be interesting to see how this technology develops and the potential implications it could have for military logistics and strategy.

Drones don’t sell on need. They sell on value - opinion
Drones are evolving from a simple hardware sale to a service model that emphasizes the value they provide. Instead of just selling a drone, companies are offering drone-as-a-service, where customers pay for outcomes like surveillance or data collection without needing to own or operate the equipment. This shift is driven by the drones' autonomy, allowing them to function independently and respond quickly. A recent incident in Israel highlighted this value when an autonomous drone provided real-time video of a missile impact, enabling swift emergency response. However, many potential customers may not recognize the value until they see the numbers, as evidenced by a solar field analysis that revealed significant losses despite a green dashboard. The market for drone services is growing, but many customers are still slow to adopt. The key to success lies in making the value visible, which is where operators come in. They work closely with customers to establish baselines and demonstrate measurable benefits. As the market matures, the focus will shift to education and training, ensuring that operators can effectively communicate the value of drone services while navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.

DoorDash Air unveils a drone delivery system, and cannot yet fly it out of sight
DoorDash just dropped the curtain on its new drone delivery program, DoorDash Air, and the first test flights are already happening in Northern California. They’re partnering with local fast‑food chains like Chipotle and Popeyes to see how the drones handle real‑world orders. The drones themselves are a sleek, white aircraft that can carry a few dozen pounds of food and fly up to a few miles, but the company says it can’t yet fly them out of sight of a pilot. That means a human operator will still be on the ground watching the flight, ready to step in if anything goes off track. The company’s big‑picture goal is to get a fully autonomous system up and running, but they’re taking it slow. DoorDash is working on the software that will let the drones navigate city streets, avoid obstacles, and land safely at a customer’s doorstep. They’re also figuring out how to keep the drones charged and ready for the next delivery. The first pilots are a test run to collect data and tweak the system before scaling up. DoorDash isn’t the only one in this space. Manna, the Irish drone‑delivery startup that once completed over 300,000 deliveries from Dublin and Cork, paused its operations in June because the UK government had no clear policy for drones. Manna is now building a factory in Oklahoma to keep its technology alive. It’s a reminder that the regulatory environment is still catching up to the tech. The big takeaway? DoorDash Air is moving forward, but it’s still a work in progress. The company’s pilot program in California will help them iron out the kinks, and they’re hoping to launch fully autonomous deliveries soon. For now, the drones are flying under a human’s eye, but the vision is clear: a future where a drone can drop a Chipotle burrito right at your doorstep without you having to wait on the phone.
