Quantum Systems has unveiled its latest unmanned ground vehicle at Enforce Tac 2026, positioning the platform as a modular, scalable
The simmering tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier have transformed into sustained military confrontation, with 2025 and early 2026 witnessing some
The US and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes on Iran, deploying fighter jets, long-range precision missiles, and advanced surveillance systems in
Shanghai-based commercial intelligence firm MizarVision is publishing unusually detailed satellite imagery of US military build-ups near Iran, showing aircraft numbers and air defence positions across Qatar, Jordan and Greece. The disclosures come as Washington considers possible action against Tehran, with experts debating whether Beijing is flexing its intelligence muscle or a private company is simply advertising its capabilities.
The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has awarded RTX’s BBN Technologies a contract to develop breakthrough long-range X-ray imaging
The assembly of Canada’s first CP-8A Poseidon aircraft is officially underway, marking a major step in the country’s effort to
Germany’s Mehler Protection has unveiled SCILT, a close-range defence system that protects military vehicles from surprise drone attacks. The system, shown at Enforce Tac 2026, targets small drones emerging from low angles that traditional air defence cannot stop in time.
The US Air Force is moving 12 F-16CJ fighters equipped with Angry Kitten electronic warfare pods toward the Middle East as tensions with Iran escalate. The pods, developed from training systems using DRFM technology, help non-stealth aircraft survive against sophisticated air defenses by creating false radar targets. The deployment positions specialized suppression-of-enemy-air-defenses capabilities as diplomatic efforts continue.
The U.S. Air Force and General Atomics have successfully demonstrated a mission where an F-22 fighter jet worked alongside an MQ-20 drone using artificial intelligence. During the test, a human pilot commanded the autonomous aircraft to perform tactical maneuvers and combat tasks through a data link. The demonstration advances the military’s effort to build teams of manned and unmanned aircraft that can fight together.
The US Air Force has successfully airlifted a 5-megawatt microreactor aboard a C-17 for the first time, transporting the Valar Atomics Ward 250 from California to Utah for testing. The flight demonstrates the military’s ability to deploy portable nuclear power to remote bases, reducing reliance on vulnerable fuel supplies. The reactor uses advanced TRISO fuel and could eventually power forward operating bases worldwide.
