UK Health Security Agency: Spread of new COVID variant 'Stratos'
London – SABA: The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has announced the rapid spread of a new COVID-19 variant known as 'Stratos', which has now become a notable proportion of coronavirus infections across the United Kingdom. In a statement issued Thursday, the agency said that recent genomic analyses showed that the XFG strain and its sub-lineages are now the most prevalent in sequenced samples. According to official data, the XFG and XFG.3 subvariants accounted for approximately 40% of total COVID-19 infections by the end of June—a significant increase from just 10% in May. 'Stratos' is a recombinant subvariant of the highly contagious Omicron lineage, labeled as a so-called 'Frankenstein variant' due to its hybrid nature. It emerged from a genetic fusion between two highly transmissible subvariants: LF.7 and LP.8.1.2, resulting in this new hybrid strain. Health experts have warned that Stratos could be more virulent and transmissible than previous strains, due to its mutations that enhance immune evasion—whether from prior infections or vaccinations.

Stratos UAV to Ignite Geospatial Breakthrough by 2028
Denver, CO April 17, 2025 --( )-- Advanced Unmanned, a visionary startup led by CEO Dave Record, today unveiled its mission to transform geospatial intelligence with Stratos — a jet-powered High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) platform set to deliver real-time data from 60,000+ feet, with services launching in 2028. First conceived in 2012, Advanced Unmanned returns at a pivotal moment: the unmanned systems market is now mature, and the public's understanding of UAVs has grown, creating the perfect stage for Stratos' breakthrough. Unlike 13 years ago, today's world is ready for real-time intelligence delivered 100x faster than satellites, capturing imagery sharper than 10 cm² alongside all-weather SAR, thermal, and hyper-spectral data. Targeting key markets — defense and security, oil and gas, agriculture, disaster response, and environmental monitoring — Stratos will secure borders, safeguard pipelines, boost crop yields, speed crisis recovery, and track wildfires with unmatched precision. Partnering with Airboss Aviation Group of Colorado Springs, CO, Advanced Unmanned is designing and building the Stratos prototype, set for launch in late 2027, with production units and services ramping up in 2028. 'Back in 2012, the market wasn't ready for Stratos' vision, but today's demand for instant, precise data is undeniable,' said Dave Record, CEO of Advanced Unmanned. 'With Stratos, we're building a future where intelligence saves lives and protects assets — and we're seeking bold investors to make it reality.' With a planned 50-unit fleet (30 USA, 20 international), Stratos will focus on high-priority zones — borders, ports, urban hubs — using modular sensors and AI. Advanced Unmanned is actively seeking seed-stage funding to drive development toward its 2028 service launch, aiming to dominate a massive global market. About Advanced Unmanned Advanced Unmanned is pioneering geospatial intelligence with Stratos, designed to provide real-time, multi-sensor data from anywhere in the world. Our mission is to empower rapid, informed decisions—launching in 2028.
