People who want to appear clever rely on memory. People who want to get things done make lists. (By Peter McWilliams)

This page is a list of lists — a list of pages that are other list articles. Each of the pages linked here is an index to a list on a topic. Some of the linked pages may contain lists of lists as well. This
list only includes lists of which documented evidence is available. All possible effort has gone into avoiding listing duplicate lists. This list is constantly updated as additional lists are created.

The U.S. Navy wants to explore the idea of using small uncrewed surface vessels, or USVs, armed with Stinger missiles as a relatively low-cost additional layer of defense against various threats in the air and on the surface of the water. The service says it is particularly interested in the possibility of using the drone boats to help protect critical, but ever-more-vulnerable logistics vessels, as well as Marine contingents during future expeditionary and distributed operations.

As the F-35 takes hold in the US and allied military services, the Pentagon plans to use the aircraft for at least another 45 years. This is due to its proven ability to incorporate improvements to detection, computing, weapon launching, and targeting capabilities with software updates.
It is likely that this process will take place much more quickly and that it will no longer be necessary to separate software increments, or “drops,” by years.
The F-35 is an upgrades machine.

The U.S. government is seeing a major uptick in activity around the globe from people and organizations who are carrying out cyberattacks with the aim of helping their countries but are not working at the behest of governments, according to senior defense officials.
These digital fighters have been dubbed “patriotic hackers.”
“We’ve seen an explosion in patriotic hackers. We’ve seen it in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, we’ve seen it in China, we’ve seen DDoS [distributed denial of service] as kind of a tool of choice there.

Maj. Gen. Ryan Heritage was appointed to be the next deputy commandant for information, according to a Pentagon announcement Friday.
Heritage, who will pin on his third star, is currently the commander of Marne Corps Forces Cyberspace Command.
In January, he also assumed command of the Marine Corps Information Command (MCIC), which is designed to more tightly link the service’s information forces — including cyber, intelligence and space — in theater with the broader joint force across the globe.
Heritage succeeds Lt. Gen. Matthew Glavy, who has held the post since the summer of 2021.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency recently initiated a dynamic engagement effort to uncover and explore new directions for building and deploying national security-aligned artificial intelligence and machine learning applications that people can trust without hesitation.
Through AI Forward, DARPA plans to collaborate with and help shape future research paths for the community of experts now working to make trustworthy intelligent technologies a near-term reality — and simultaneously help inform the agency’s own associated IT investment strategies going forward.

The Colt SMG and PP-19 are dueling SMGs from the U.S. and Russia. They are similar but very different, and each formed its own path.

The war of the future:
Mastering the electromagnetic spectrum is fast becoming a priority area of ​​future warfare, given the increasing degree to which networks and weapons systems rely on electronics. For example, a precision-guided weapon cannot reach its target if its radio frequency guidance is jammed or jammed by an EW.
The Navy’s 2024 budget documents reveal this emphasis by allocating large amounts of money to the “spectral” domain concerning the F/A-XX sixth-generation stealth fighter.

If Russian President Vladimir Putin expected that divisions within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)  would cause the alliance to shatter once his forces invaded Ukraine, then he wildly miscalculated.
NATO is about to welcome its newest member now that the Turkish parliament approved Finland’s request to join the Alliance. Including Finland, NATO will soon include 31 countries.
