In 1918, the U.S. Supreme Court held that government contractors could be sued for patent infringement even if their products were manufactured specifically for the U.S. government. Franklin D. Roosevelt, then acting secretary of the Navy, wrote an urgent letter to Congress warning that contractors were hesitant to build equipment for the Navy that could expose them to expensive litigation. Congress responded swiftly, amending federal law to shield contractors from patent suits when they were manufacturing products for the government. That statutory immunity, now codified as 28 U.S.C.

It is 2029. General Secretary Xi Jinping has given the order for the People’s Liberation Army to forcibly take Taiwan. Hundreds of Chinese warships begin to cross the Taiwan strait, supported by fighter jets and protected by an umbrella of electronic jamming. 80 kilometers from Taiwan’s coast, the first blow comes from below.

The Space Force is looking to revise launch plans for a number of upcoming national security missions following a recent issue with a United Launch Alliance rocket that could take months to resolve, according to a senior official.
During a Space Force mission last month, ULA’s Vulcan Centaur rocket experienced a “significant performance anomaly” with one of the vehicle’s four solid rocket motors during lift off, according to the company.

The Navy is setting up a one-stop-shop for medium unmanned surface vessels (MUSVs) that carry swappable, containerized payloads in faster, multi-mission deployments, as it reshapes its model for buying autonomous watercraft that navigate, handle cargo and carry out certain military operations with little to no human input.
