In a bid to diversify wireless communications innovation, the Defense Department is poised to release an open-source software stack that users from the military and commercial industry can use to develop their own custom network solutions.
The Pentagon’s FutureG office will publish the first version of the Open Centralized Unit Distributed Unit (OCUDU) radio access network project to GitHub in April, the department announced Sunday.

Iranian sources on February 28 released footage of the launch of the Fattah ballistic missile, which integrates a next generation manoeuvring re-entry vehicle to effectively evade missile defences. This was followed by the reported first ever launch of the Fattah-2, a heavily enhanced successor to the missile, on March 1. The Fattah-2 missile uses a hypersonic glide vehicle rather than a usual ballistic missile reentry vehicle, allowing it to manoeuvre in both pitch and yaw, to maintain far higher reentry speeds, and to approach targets from unexpected directions.

For most Americans, its been a long cold winter. But as February draws to a close, most of us are dreaming of spring: the flowers, the sun, the warm weather, the chance to get back outside, and – of course – spring cleaning.
For tens of millions of Americans, spring cleaning is a rite of passage of the seasons. An opportunity to clean up from winter, put away the snow shovels, and get your house and yard in order. Over the last few years, as more and more Americans have focused on their health and well being, spring cleanses have become almost as popular as spring cleaning.

Footage released by U.S. Armed Forces Central Command has shown U.S. Army MGM-140 ATACMS ballistic missiles being launched to strike Iranian air defence assets and ballistic missile launchers. Footage showed missiles being deployed from a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), and raised speculation that attacks are being launched from one of multiple Gulf States within range of Iranian targets, or possibly from within Iraq or Turkey.

As part of its wave of airstrikes against Iran this weekend, U.S. Central Command confirmed that it had launched its new low-cost kamikaze drones, the first time the weapons have been used in combat. 
On Saturday afternoon, CENTCOM announced that it had fired its Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS) drones as part of the widespread salvo of weapons used against Iran. Details in the ongoing strikes remain limited, with the White House and military offering only a few statements, but CENTCOM did say that it had successfully launched the LUCAS drones as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Following the initiation of U.S. and Israeli attacks on a wide range of Iranian targets, and Iran’s launching of retaliatory strikes against Israel and U.S. military facilities across the region, the Qatari Air Force has reportedly scrambled F-15QA fighters to intercept attacks. The Qatari Defence Ministry reported regarding its operations: “Our fighter jets repelled air attacks, including drones and cruise missiles launched from Iran.” Designated a Major Non-NATO ally of the United States, Qatar hosts by far the largest U.S.

On Feb. 28, the United States and Israel launched coordinated but separately named military campaigns against Iran — the United States under Operation Epic Fury and Israel under Operation Roaring Lion — striking Iran’s nuclear facilities, ballistic missile infrastructure, and military leadership and command structures. In a video message broadcast, President Donald Trump again urged Iranians to “take over your government. It will be yours to take.” Whatever else the campaign accomplishes, it cannot be mistaken for coercive diplomacy.

In a dramatic break from conventional military practice, the United States and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes on Iran early Saturday, targeting the heart of the Islamic Republic’s command structure in broad daylight. The operation, which military analysts say closely follows the “centers of gravity” air power theory refined by retired Lt. Gen. David A. Deptula during the 1991 Gulf War, appeared designed to decapitate senior leadership and neutralize Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal before expanding to secondary targets.

-In the early hours of February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched Operation Lion’s Roar and Operation Epic Fury—coordinated strikes across Iran aimed at missile infrastructure, air defenses, naval assets, IRGC nodes, and elements of Tehran’s nuclear program.

What use to Iran is Hizballah in the event of all-out war against the regime? In principle, a great deal. In practice, not so much. The ongoing U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran raises not only what would happen to and be done by Iran, but also the very future and existence of its crown jewel proxy, Hizballah in Lebanon. Almost any conceivable scenario that emerges from this confrontation represents a threat rather than an opportunity for Hizballah, further destabilizing the group and forcing it on the defensive.It has been a difficult couple of years for Hizballah.
