Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, 2026.Abstract The increased reliance on remote warfare by US‐led military coalitions presents us with questions of “what war is” and “how to know about war” in the 21st century. In this article we substantiate calls for an embodied epistemology of war by introducing a transdisciplinary research agenda to investigate the temporal and spatial civilian harm ...

Optimization in Conceptual Design of a BWB UAV Using an Adaptive Kriging‐Based Surrogate Model
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.An adaptive Kriging‐based framework for Blended Wing Body UAV optimization is presented. The exploitation‐oriented strategy yields a 14.5% range improvement, while sensitivity analysis identifies fuel mass as the dominant parameter for efficient conceptual design. ABSTRACT To improve optimization efficiency in the conceptual design of Blended Wing Body

WildWing: An open‐source, autonomous and affordable UAS for animal behaviour video monitoring
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 291-300, February 2026.Abstract Drones have become invaluable tools for studying animal behaviour in the wild, enabling researchers to collect aerial video data of group‐living animals. However, manually piloting drones to track animal groups consistently is challenging due to complex factors such as terrain, vegetation, group spread and movement patterns. The variability in
