The Navy’s new acting secretary, Hung Cao, urged industry officials to speed up the delivery of high-quality counter-drone systems and other AI-enabled military assets to protect and better equip sailors and Marines who are deployed overseas.
“What you’re producing right now is going to save the lives of America’s sons and daughters. My son, who’s going to be commissioned as a second lieutenant in about 24 days. So, that’s why I do what I’m doing, because I’m not going to have my son go to war the way I did when we were invading Iraq.
The Navy has launched a pilot project that uses artificial intelligence capabilities to recommend jobs for sailors, and the service is aiming to expand that effort to a larger pool of personnel, according to a senior official.
Part of the Navy’s ongoing modernization push includes improving talent management.
“If you don’t get the talent right, the technology doesn’t matter,” Ben Kohlmann, assistant secretary of the Navy for manpower and reserve affairs, said Tuesday at the Workday Federal Forum, produced by FedScoop.
Over the summer, troops with 2nd Marine Division will head to Twentynine Palms, California, to experience something entirely new to them: drone-defeat training from the service’s primary readiness unit.
Between mid-July to late August, Marine Air-Ground Task Force Training Command will host the division for an integrated training exercise where it will run troops through counter-UAS “lanes” and possibly incorporate the capability into live-fire scenarios, Maj. Gen. Farrell Sullivan told DefenseScoop on the sidelines of the Modern Day Marine conference.
The Space Force’s budget request for fiscal 2027 includes billions of dollars in funding for the Space Data Network (SDN), which could turn the service’s plan to create a complex web of military and commercial data relay satellites into reality.
The SDN is envisioned as a multi-orbit, hybrid satellite communications architecture comprising both military-owned and commercial systems built by different vendors. Once fully operational, the SDN will serve as a single, unified network that allows the Pentagon to securely move data via multiple pathways to ground stations and weapons platforms.

Every Marine knows that the “Old Corps” had it worse. The rocks they slept on were harder; the MREs they ate were (somehow) worse; they did it all with iron sights. You get the idea. All Marines have heard some version of how the Corps used to be — including the Marines who are today the Corps’ top senior enlisted leaders.

Washington, D.C. — A U.S. appeals court has temporarily reinstated the Pentagon’s requirement that journalists be escorted while inside the building, handing the Department of Defense a key victory as it challenges a lower court ruling.
In a 2-1 decision issued on April 27, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit paused a district judge’s order that had struck down the escort mandate.
“I hate talking about combat drills when the U.S. Navy lost, and many times, lost aircraft carriers in simulations. But, hey, you only learn when you make mistakes.” That’s what a long-retired U.S. Navy surface warship officer told me last week when I asked him about the various times that U.S. Navy aircraft carriers have been sunk in various wargames over the years. And while we talk a lot about the infamous time Gotland-class AIP submarine from Sweden sinking an aircraft carrier back in 2005, Canada also achieved such a submarine ‘victory’ as well. And it was decades before.
