Chinese researchers have reportedly used leading U.S. AI models developed by OpenAI and Anthropic to train AI systems to advance defense capabilities.

Allen Control Systems announced Monday that the Marine Corps has chosen the Bullfrog autonomous weapon system to integrate into its airborne defenses.

X-Bow Systems is launching what it hopes will be a remedy to the ongoing conundrum of combating cheap drones with multimillion dollar interceptors.

Doodle Labs hopes to turn its success in equipping jam-hardened drones in Ukraine into additional production sites in Europe and he United States.

Lockheed Martin is rolling out the Morfius X-Rotor, a recoverable counter-drone system the company says can kill 50 enemy drones in one flight.

The system, called Hypnosis, consists of an array of mobile “stations” around a defended area that send out jamming signals against drone swarms.

Simulations and exercises will be key to boosting trust between operators and CCAs, according to former U.S. Air Force secretary Frank Kendall.

Elbit Systems detailed a new maritime concept centered on its Hermes 650 Spark unmanned aircraft, envisioning the conversion of commercial surface ships.

The Navy wants its next-gen carrier-based drones to handle a wide range of missions, from strikes and anti-submarine warfare to aerial refueling and more.

The system is called the Arctic Over-The-Horizon Radar (A-OTHR), and the deal is worth some US$1.75 billion to Australia.

Rheinmetall and MBDA aim to field an operational laser weapon for the German Navy in 2029.

“The most important mission that we have now is the robotization of the battlefield, because only this will allow our country to win the war.”

The Massed Modular Aircraft project aims to develop a drone that can operate in such large numbers that it can absorb losses and still overwhelm defenses.

After years of development and nearly $2 billion in investments, the Army is calling time of death on its much-hyped Integrated Visual Augmentation System.

The project aims to stitch together spacecraft managed by individual member countries into one mega-constellation, alliance officials said.

“It is genuinely made in NATO and is creating jobs on both sides of the Atlantic,” alliance Secretary-General Mark Rutte said.

Industry champions in France and Italy move to consolidate their positions in a growing market for unmanned underwater naval equipment.

Taiwan says it needs to bolster its defenses in the face of a stepped-up threat from China, which claims the island as its own territory.

Defense tech startups are repurposing automotive chips and pipes used in fracking in an effort to deliver weapons to the Pentagon faster and at lower cost.

Defeating drones starts with detection, and suppliers of relatively small and affordable radars are rushing to meet global demand.

Two ground vehicles could define how the Pentagon fields high-energy laser weapons at scale.

The Army has bought 13,000 of the Ukraine-tested Merops interceptor, locking its maker into a $500 million deal.

The Pentagon is studying the lesson as it shifts focus toward a possible conflict with China.

The combination of technologies is meant to give Israel a leg up in shooting down high-volume swarms of incoming threats like drones or missiles.

The Latgale region, where the new drone factory is to be built, is historically one of Latvia’s most economically disadvantaged.

The Marine Corps is pursuing a first-of-its-kind $20 million production contract for fully autonomous ground vehicles.
