Overview
- Neiry reports field trials of its PJN-1 system that directs pigeons’ flight paths through targeted neural stimulation.
- The birds carry tiny solar-powered backpacks housing onboard electronics, GPS tracking, and a receiver that relays commands to the implant.
- The company claims no training is required and says the birds can cover about 310 miles per day.
- Founder Alexander Panov says the concept could extend to ravens for heavier payloads, seagulls for coastal monitoring, and albatrosses for wide marine areas.
- Coverage notes potential roles in monitoring and facility security and flags state-linked funding ties, while test scale, survival data, and independent validation remain undisclosed.
