Armor–UAV Teaming Is Now a Necessity
Armies that master teaming armored formations with UAVs will dictate the tempo of twenty-first-century land combat. Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles retain decisive shock effect, but their survivability now hinges on organic drones, resilient networks, and kill chains that run from quadcopters to long-range fires. Recent doctrine and battlefield evidence converge on the same conclusion: […]
CapLink Array boosts missile defense
Assured Space Access Technologies Inc has unveiled the CapLink Array, a next‑generation phased‑array antenna engineered to raise the performance ceiling in missile defense and space communications. Built around a proprietary capacitive‑dipole architecture, the system targets broad instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and a wide field‑of‑view—the core attributes that enable faster track initiation, multi‑target handling, and resilient […]
Restructure U.S. Forces for Multi-Front War
Restructure U.S. Forces for Multi-Front War Washington faces a strategic reality it can no longer defer: multi-front war restructuring is now a prerequisite for credible deterrence. Moreover, Russia’s aggression in Europe, Iran’s recent provocations in the Middle East, and the pacing challenge from China have outgrown legacy force-sizing concepts. As Arnold L. Punaro argues in his recent […]
PLAAF modernization reshapes airpower
Over two decades, the People’s Liberation Army Air Force has changed how it builds and uses airpower. PLAAF modernization moved from large numbers to advanced systems, widened long-range and maritime roles, and brought far better ISR and electronic warfare support online. A new National Defense University (NDU) study revisits the earlier “right-size” question and explains […]

Pentagon to Americanize Drone Warfare
The Pentagon now aims to Americanize drone warfare with clear doctrine, resilient digital C2, and scale production. Recent tests at Camp Atterbury showed how these parts can work as one. As a result, the shift from ad-hoc trials to sustained operations has begun. See the source report [1].
British Army Rifle Replacement: Grayburn
The British Army’s rifle replacement is now formal policy, with the Ministry of Defence confirming the SA80’s out-of-service date in 2030 and launching Project Grayburn to select its successor.
PLA tests rocket-armed ground drones
PLA tests rocket-armed ground drones China has showcased PLA unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) armed with rocket launchers during semi-urban training aired on state television. The vignette paired ZBL-08 (Type 08) infantry fighting vehicles with small, teleoperated ground drones to probe, suppress and disrupt fortified positions ahead of dismounted assaults.
Global Invacom XY Antenna Debuts
Global Invacom XY antenna targets teams that require fast and reliable SATCOM. It ships as a modular, auto-deploy platform for rapid response. Moreover, it works on-the-move and on-the-pause across GEO, MEO, LEO and HEO links [2][3]. In short, units get one terminal for many networks. Why this terminal matters Modern operations need bandwidth, reach and resilience. […]
Altay T1 Delivery Begins
Altay T1 Delivery Begins Altay T1 delivery moves from planning to action. BMC told the international defence press that first tanks will transfer to the Turkish Land Forces soon. The first batch sets the tone for series production and a later shift to the domestic BATU power group. In short, Altay T1 delivery starts the […]
Black Hawk Drone Launch Capability
Black Hawk Drone Launch Capability The U.S. Army is adding Black Hawk drone launch capability to its UH-60 fleet under a $43 million modernization contract with Sikorsky, enabling crews to deploy and control “launched effects” mid-flight as early as 2026. The upgrade advances the Army’s Transformation Initiative by turning the Black Hawk into a mothership […]
Japan Evaluates Bayraktar TB2 in Türkiye Talks
Japan evaluates Bayraktar TB2 as part of a wider push to field affordable and proven unmanned systems. During an official visit to Ankara and İstanbul, Defence Minister Gen Nakatani confirmed interest in Turkish drones.

UK Defence Procurement Paralysis Is Starving Innovation
The United Kingdom’s defence innovation pipeline is seizing up. Two UK-verified, government-backed programmes—one in decisive autonomous strike and another in electronic warfare (EW) pulse—are now in financial limbo, emblematic of a wider UK defence procurement paralysis that is starving credible suppliers of capital, time, and urgency. The consequence is strategic: capability atrophies while adversaries scale. […]
C100 Drone Guides F-35 Strikes
On 23 July 2025, Performance Drone Works (PDW) detailed a joint trial with a U.S. Air Force F-35A. The C100 quadcopter used a Leonardo STAG5 laser designator to mark ground targets. Consequently, the fighter released four inert GBU-12 Paveway II bombs that struck with precision. The Air Force has not issued a public comment. Even […]
