What happened
A Bulgarian company has created an autonomous drone designed to monitor maritime threats and support security in the Black Sea. The device, which can perform autonomous missions or be manually controlled, was presented at an International Forum in Burgas. Controlled tests of the drone are scheduled to take place in the Bay of Burgas over the next two weeks.

Why it matters
The technology aims to provide a more affordable alternative to existing autonomous drones, which can cost millions. The plan involves deploying dozens of units along Bulgaria's coastline to establish 'green corridors' for safe passage and provide real-time information to enable rapid responses to maritime threats.
