The event also features 18 national, regional and industry pavilions, including the UK Pavilion led by British Jewellery & Giftware International with sophisticated jewellery pieces from eight British designers.Two major jewellery design competitions discover and nurture new talentsThe HKTDC has always put great emphasis on discovering and nurturing emerging talents to further elevate the standard of jewellery design. This year, it has once again joined hands with The Jewellers’ & Goldsmiths’ Association of Hong Kong Limited, Hong Kong Jewellery & Jade Manufacturers Association, Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers' Association and the Diamond Federation of Hong Kong, China Ltd to organise the 7th International Jewellery Design Excellence (IJDE) Award and the 26th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition (HKJDC) to identify new talents. The award ceremonies for the two competitions were held this morning and the winning entries will be on display at the Hall 1D and 1E Concourse throughout the International Jewellery Show.  Held for the first time since the pandemic, the 2025 IJDE Award received an enthusiastic response with 80 award-winning entries from nine countries and regions competing for the highest honour – the “Champion of the Champions”.

Her life lasts only for a single nightAs dusk falls, she blooms in quiet elegance, only to gently descend with the first light of dawn. Though her existence is fleeting, she shines like fireworks and is breathtakingly beautifulIn this design, I sought to capture the moment when the stamens burst forth from the bud, with countless filaments unfurling like delicate tendrils, radiating boundless energy, vitality and freedom. This imagery deeply moved me, reminding me that “Life, like a flower, is fleeting – not measured by its length, but by whether it has burned brightly”As a jewellery designer, I often ask myself: what can I leave behind in this world' Perhaps, through my creations, I can transform those fleeting moments of emotion into eternal beautyCraftsmanship AwardTitle of winning design: Born of BlueDesigner: CHAN Hoi Yi (Hong Kong)Category: Pendant/BroochDescription*:Inspired by a proverb from my favorite philosopher Xunzi: "Born of blue, but better than blue"Blue dye was distilled from the indigo plant, but the dye was bluer than the plant itself. The knowledge taught by teacher made the students surpass the teacher himselfThis inspired my design like a visual metaphor: the Chinese-Cloud symbolises knowledge (an everchanging form/law of nature)ï¼›Chinese-Knots symbolise teacher/students (from a simple to a complex shape, to the deepening of blue colours. The progress symbolises self-improvement)I admire the vague elegance in this proverb. It's humble, pure, not flashy, with a scent of scholarly temperament, with goodwill and charm. It may sound a bit naive and idealistic today, but that’s what I want to express in this jewelleryAesthetics AwardTitle of winning design: ContemplationDesigner: Mariia EFIMOVA (Russia)Category: RingDescription*:In a world where everything happens too fast, beauty is commonplace, and we are often seduced only by the outside. But the underside sometimes says much more.

GA-ASI Flies Government Reference Autonomy Stack at Orange Flag 25-1

SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) achieved another major milestone in the development of Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) by flying U.S. government-provided autonomy software aboard a company-owned MQ-20 Avenger®. The demonstration was part of the Air Force Test Center's all-domain test series called Orange Flag 25-1, which took place Feb. 19-21 at Edwards Air Force Base, California.The demonstration included the use of a government-provided Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI), showcasing GA-ASI's commitment to advancing its UCAV ecosystem through collaboration with partners and government entities and integrating cutting-edge technologies. Avenger is a jet-powered UAS used extensively by GA-ASI as a test bed for future Autonomous Collaborative Platforms.GA-ASI also demonstrated the ability to rapidly swap between autonomy systems midflight over Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) satellites utilizing an autonomy product from Shield AI.Orange Flag 25-1 is part of the larger Orange Flag Evaluation and Demonstration Event series. This event brought together various stakeholders to test and validate advanced aerospace technologies in realistic operational scenarios.The government-provided autonomy software - known as a reference autonomy stack - was integrated into the GA-ASI Avenger and demonstrated autonomous flight operation capabilities focused on conducting air-to-air engagements. The government-provided PVI enabled seamless control and monitoring of the autonomy stack, highlighting the interoperability and flexibility of GA-ASI's UCAV ecosystem. The Shield AI stack demonstrated autonomy skills for safe administrative phases of flight.What the flights proved was that GA-ASI aircraft can quickly go from company-written software, to government-provided, to other vendors' software as needed. This reinforces that the new generations of GA-ASI's UCAVs can seamlessly get upgrades as fast as developers finish them. Just as a mobile phone can get new and better features with each update, so too can new UCAVs get more capable and more versatile."This demonstration marks a significant achievement in our ongoing efforts to operationalize autonomy for UCAVs," said GA-ASI Vice President of Advanced Programs Michael Atwood. "Flying the government reference autonomy stack at Orange Flag 25-1 and utilizing the government-provided PVI underscores our commitment to delivering robust and adaptable autonomy solutions for the warfighter. We especially appreciate and salute the support we received from the 309th Software Engineering Group."The successful flight at Orange Flag 25-1 further validates GA-ASI's dedication to maturing its open standards-based autonomy software ecosystem. By adhering to government-owned and maintained standards, GA-ASI ensures rapid integration of best-of-breed capabilities from third-party providers, enhancing the overall operational effectiveness of UCAV platforms.GA-ASI continues to demonstrate its commitment to advancing autonomy for UCAVs through a series of flight tests and collaborations with government and industry partners. These efforts are aimed at developing an autonomy infrastructure that enables rapid integration and validation of tactical software applications while maintaining safety of flight and providing warfighters with the most advanced capabilities possible.

GA-ASI 歡迎美國空軍對新型 CCA 的命名:YFQ-42A

聖地亞哥, 2025年3月4日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 通用原子航空系統公司(GA-ASI)對美國空軍為其協同作戰飛機(Collaborative Combat Aircraft, CCA)授予的新編號表示歡迎:這款新型無人戰鬥機將被命名為 YFQ-42A。此次公告於週一發布,緊隨早前 2024 年美國空軍決定,由 GA-ASI 負責開發和製造 YFQ-42A 的決定之後。 "我們很自豪能獲得新的官方飛機編號,」GA-ASI 總裁 David R. Alexander 表示。 “YFQ-42A 延續了 GA-ASI 悠久而卓越的歷史,可追溯至 1990 年代 RQ-1 Predator® 的首次亮相,該機後來更名為 MQ-1 Predator。這款無人機開創了 MQ-9A Reaper®、MQ-20 Avenger®,以及我們最新的 MQ-9B SkyGuardian® 和 SeaGuardian®,還有眾多其他機型。”"這些飛機代表了一段無與倫比的歷史,展現了可靠、高性能的無人作戰平台,滿足了美國作戰人員的需求,並為空中力量的新時代指明了方向。”美國空軍將 YFQ-42A 選定為 GA-ASI 協同作戰飛機(CCA)原型機的任務設計系列(MDS),這標誌著新一代無人戰鬥機的誕生。YFQ-42A 在未來衝突中對於聯合部隊的空中優勢至關重要,它將利用自主作戰能力和有人-無人協同作戰模式,在爭奪制空權的複雜環境中戰勝敵方威脅。美國空軍正在開發自主協同作戰平台(Autonomous Collaborative Platforms),以保持其空中優勢。像 YFQ-42A 這樣的半自主飛機將提升作戰靈活性、降低成本並提高任務執行效率。作為一款靈活且經濟高效的作戰倍增器,YFQ-42A 將進一步增強空中優勢。它旨在與當前及下一代有人駕駛飛機無縫集成,擴展任務能力,確保持續的空中主導地位。簡而言之,YFQ-42A 以更低的成本和符合威脅環境的時間框架,為戰鬥機部隊提供可負擔的大規模戰力。YFQ-42A 的命名繼承了美國空軍先前對 GA-ASI 的 XQ-67A 遠程感測站(Off-Board Sensing Station)的命名決策。 XQ-67A 由空軍研究實驗室訂購,用於支援 CCA 策略實施所需概念的開發。在美國空軍的命名系統中,"X" 代表用於測試和實驗的飛機,"Y" 代表初步生產代表機型,通常用於正式專案立項前,"F" 代表戰鬥機,"Q" 表示無人機。當生產代表機型進入正式生產階段,"Y" 字母將從前綴中移除。GA-ASI 將在 2025 年 3 月 3 日至 5 日於空戰研討會(Air Warfare Symposium)期間,在 #1003 展位展示 YFQ-42A 的六分之一比例模型。關於通用原子公司(GA) 通用原子公司是一家國防與多元技術企業,GA及其附屬公司業務遍及五大洲。GA附屬公司生產無人機及空中、太空與海上監視系統、光學通信、數據分析、航空母艦彈射與潛艇系統。GA亦是核聚變研究、下一代核裂變及先進材料技術的領先企業。欲了解更多信息,請訪問 www.ga-asi.com 。Avenger、Grey Eagle、Lynx、Predator、Reaper、SeaGuardian 和 SkyGuardian 是 General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. 在美國和/或其他國家註冊的商標。聯絡資訊GA-ASI 媒體關係asi-mediarelations@ga-asi.com 來源: General Atomics Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
