The technology was first introduced to soldiers at the Camp Walker, South Korea, dining facility in November 2025, and a transportable version is now being tested.

In the spring of 2023, a barren stretch of Wyoming highway briefly became the tactical hub of a three-day Army and Air Force exercise in which special operators unloaded nimble attack helicopters from cargo planes as attack jets and drones watched overhead.
At the center of the exercise — dubbed Agile Chariot — was a “missing pilot.” Once unfolded, the helicopters, draped with commandos dangling their feet in the air, bolted to go find him, as escort fighters buzzed above.

James Doohan’s first day of combat came during the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. He almost didn’t make it to his second, all because of a friendly fire incident.
Doohan, who played chief engineer Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery Scott (“Scotty”) on the 1960s television classic “Star Trek,” served as a lieutenant in the Canadian army during World War II. On D-Day, he survived a turbulent landing at Juno Beach, and as the troops advanced inland, he shot and killed two German snipers.
Footage released by Qatari state media has for the first time shown the destruction on the ground of the AN/FPS-132 Block 5 Upgraded Early Warning Radar near Umm Dahal in Qatar, showing substantial internal damage after Iranian attacks on February 28. The radar is one of the most important and capable ground-based radar systems in the U.S. global missile warning architecture, although its extreme cost prevents widespread deployments, meaning the radar in Qatar is the only one of its kind outside the U.S. mainland.
