As the Army is preparing to lock in the design architecture to experiment with the next phase of its tactical network this spring, it will focus on the division holistically for the first time.
The Army has adopted a multiyear strategy involving the incremental development and delivery of new capabilities to its integrated tactical network, involving a combination of program-of-record systems and commercial off-the-shelf tools. Those “capability sets” now provide technologies to units every two years, each building upon the previous delivery.

South Korea’s president has said that his country might build nuclear weapons in response to the continuing buildup of similar weapons in North Korea. This is the most explicit announcement so far from Seoul that it’s actively considering nuclear weapons, although the disclosure is also very likely calculated to pressure the United States into giving Seoul a role in nuclear war planning on the peninsula, and perhaps also to redeploy U.S. tactical nuclear weapons to South Korea, the last of these having being withdrawn in 1991.

Looking at the title and header image one might easily be led to conclude that we’ve gotten the aircraft type wrong for this particular article. Where is the characteristic fully glazed cockpit everyone has come to know the Heinkel He 111 for, one might ask.* Nonetheless, this aircraft too is a German-made Heinkel He 111. In fact, it’s one of 24 aircraft of the type delivered to the Turkish Air Force (Türk Hava Kuvvetleri) in late 1937 and early 1938.
Germany-based Rheinmetall has signed contracts with two unnamed European Nato customers for the delivery of 40mm ammunition.
The contracts are valued at more than €30m. The latest orders expand Rheinmetall’s strategic position in the European market.
The first European Nato customer has signed a framework contract to deliver up to 300,000 rounds of 40mm ammunition.
The company will also supply low velocity (LV) and high velocity (HV) ammunition variants.
In addition, Rheinmetall has already received a first call-off of approximately 75,000 cartridges from the customer.
Ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship radio communications systems have been around for a long time, but over the last couple of decades or so, they lost some of their lustre when digital communication systems began to gain prominence due to ease of use and cost benefits.
And why not?
Digital communications, using inexpensive mobile handsets which can connect people via satellites that cover the whole globe, are ubiquitous. In a relatively short time, they took over as the preferred method of voice and data transmissions for almost all walks of life.
But there is a caveat.
