What would it take for someone to hack a tank? Modern Western militaries may well be about to find out. The militaries of the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other powers are contemplating the gradual introduction of electric vehicles into their motorized fleets. These initiatives are linked to national decarbonization strategies and are also meant to modernize these fleets for the future of warfare. However, electrification also entails an important and underestimated challenge: cyber security.

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) will deploy Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning IIs for the first time in Exercise ‘Bersama Lima’, the Australian Minister of Defence Richard Marles has said.
‘Bersama Lima’ is a core exercise within the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA).

Airbus has unveiled a new fighter-like stealthy loyal wingman drone concept. The European aviation consortium is pitching the design heavily to the German Air Force, or Luftwaffe, which has previously expressed interest in an uncrewed companion specifically for its forthcoming Typhoon EK electronic warfare jets. The pilotless wingman is also being presented as a more near-term project that will precede its larger Future Combat Air System (FCAS) plans for the 2040s.
Details about the new drone design, currently simply called “Wingman,” came in a press release from Airbus earlier today.

Two former U.S. Army soldiers who say they met fighting Russian separatists in Ukraine are now both behind bars in the U.S. after a years-long “international crime spree.” The pair met in a militia in Ukraine in 2017 before eventually killing and robbing a Florida couple and seeking fake identities to join other conflicts in Kenya and Venezuela.

It will take some time before the Biden administration’s highly touted pier in Gaza is usable again after breaking apart in heavy seas. Humanitarian aid deliveries via the sea have subsequently ground to a halt and criticisms are growing about how the technically ‘no-boots-on-the-ground’ mission has proceeded to date. Yet the U.S. has a robust capability to conduct outsized deliveries from ship to shore without any of this infrastructure. So, if this is such a high-priority humanitarian mission, where are the U.S.

SOMETHING BIG.

Our world depends on the digital. Everything that was once run and recorded on paper is now accessed through computers and other electronic devices.

The Defense Innovation Unit has selected four companies to develop and demonstrate an unmanned aerial vehicle prototype that aims to stimulate the Pentagon’s ability to rapidly manufacture and field new drones at scale and at low cost.
Anduril, Integrated Solutions for Systems, Leidos Dynetics and Zone 5 Technologies were chosen to compete in the Enterprise Test Vehicle project, DIU announced Monday.
