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.

The Marines may be full speed ahead on adopting its first new amphibious vehicle since the Vietnam War, but the Corps’ newest ride is still facing significant operational and mechanical issues, the service’s top officer recently revealed.

The Ukrainian Air Force has confirmed that it’s now using the U.S.-supplied Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM, air-launched precision-guided weapon against Russian forces in the country. The announcement follows confirmation from U.S. officials that the long-range JDAM-ER version of the weapon had been supplied to Ukraine, providing the ability to hit targets up to 45 miles away with considerable destructive power, the implications of which The War Zone has previously explored in detail.
Russian President Vladimir Putin decreed a new recruitment of 147,000 more soldiers yesterday, Thursday. This figure represents an increase of 9% compared to last year’s spring recruitment decree. This conscription order focuses on the standard year-long military service that most adult Russian men are expected to perform. Even so, the recruitment increase underscores Russian forces’ continued struggle to advance into Ukraine.
Whether the new recruits are posted to Ukraine or not, their tours of duty are unlikely to be rewarding.
Earlier this month, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu declared that Russia would complete updating missile defense systems by the end of the year to safeguard Moscow.
According to Shoigu, Russia plans to have an air defense division and brigade, a special purpose air and missile defense brigade, an anti-aircraft regiment equipped with the S-350 surface-to-air missile complex, a Razvyazka space surveillance radar station, and a brigade of special operations for air and missile defense up and running by the end of 2023.
The British Army will buy 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 man-portable multipurpose recoilless guns to fill the gap in anti-armor capabilities left by the donation of similar equipment to Ukraine.
In a meeting on March 29 with his Swedish colleague, Pal Jonson, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace revealed the purchase worth £4.6 million ($5.7 million) plus a little more for an ammunition and training package.
The ministry said in a statement that the Saab-made weapons would be used to “replenish” stocks of ammunition delivered to Ukraine in its defense against Russia.
As part of the Army’s transition to multi-domain operations, it is looking at resourcing what it is calling theater information advantage detachments, or TIADs.
These organizations are envisioned to be aligned to theater Armies and coordinate with other theater-level organizations such as the Multi-Domain Task Force and Expeditionary Cyber Teams, according to an Army spokesperson.
These expeditionary cyber teams, part of the 11th Cyber Battalion, are scalable and will maneuver with units and conduct operations on the ground for commanders.
