The San Diego coast marks an early proving ground where the Navy is moving to expand and scale emerging capabilities associated with its Project Overmatch, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday told DefenseScoop on Wednesday.
Broadly, Project Overmatch marks the Navy’s complex contribution to the Pentagon’s Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) pursuit — a multi-billion-dollar plan to securely connect forces and military assets across all domains, including space and cyberspace.

Now that the trilateral Australia-UK-US (AUKUS) Partnership guidelines on nuclear-powered submarines are open to public scrutiny, the ultimate answer may well be a competing Russia-China bilateral submarine partnership.
A proposal from China, a sort of “Anti-AUKUS” Axis, with Russia exchanging submarine technology for military aid, rejects AUKUS and solves some pressing problems for both countries.
The Army will consolidate all of its network portfolios into a single program executive office in October, combining efforts spread across two entities currently.
Officially on October 1, the Integrated Enterprise Network portfolio from PEO Enterprise Information Systems will transition to PEO Command, Control, Communications-Tactical, that office’s leader announced Wednesday.

On April 18, 1942, 60 officers and crewmen aboard 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers did the improbable. They took off from the flight deck of the USS Hornet and flew a bombing mission over the Japanese Empire’s capital of Tokyo and a few select other targets on its home island. It was not only revenge for the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, it was a reminder to Japan that it wasn’t invincible – the war it started would soon come to them.
The Doolittle Raid, as it came to be named after its chief planner, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle, didn’t hurt Japanese war efforts and only killed around 50 people.

The Space Force wants $340 million from Congress in fiscal 2024 to create more robust operational testing and training environments for guardians to hone their skills and readiness for high-end combat, the service’s top officer said Wednesday.
The request comes as the U.S. is facing growing threats to its space systems, including cyber warfare activities; electronic attack platforms; lasers designed to blind or damage satellite sensors; ground-launched missiles; and “space-to-space orbital engagement systems” — in other words, satellites that can attack other satellites.

In 2010, to save the European A400M “Atlas” transport aircraft program, which was then threatened by cost overruns and delays, the original customer countries [France, Germany, UK, Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg, and Turkey] granted an extension of 3.5 billion Euros to Airbus, of which 1.5 billion were in the form of refundable advances, guaranteed against future exports of this aircraft.
And the addendum to the contract that was signed then [of more than 1,000 pages…] contained a clause that authorized customers to reduce their orders by up to ten aircraft.
