U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, known as DEVCOM, announced a new era of cybersecurity software with game-changing technology.

When new technologies cross from industry to the battlefield, calls arise to slow the process and consider international implications of using these weapons. Louis A. Del Monte’s Nanoweapons is one of those calls. A physicist and former executive at IBM and Honeywell, Del Monte led advancements in microelectronics and sensors. His work is a serious attempt to use publicly available information to address the development and use of nanotechnology as weapons. The author brings together ideas normally relegated to science fiction (e.g., laser weapons, artificial intelligence, and self-replicating nanorobots) and uses his technical background to inform the reader as to what is science fact. While his most alarming predictions for humanity’s survival project to the year 2050 and beyond, he argues that his concerns are timely. He indicates that while revolutionary military nanotechnologies (e.g., stealth aircraft) may take decades to field, they are none­theless currently being developed. Now, according to the author, is the time to discuss the dangers of nanoweapons.

China’s maritime militias are running a risk of blurring the line between fishing boats and naval forces. Therefore, accurate assessments under international maritime law are of utmost importance to future disputes

Since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 without firing a single shot, former Soviet States in the area – particularly the Baltic countries – have been increasingly worried by the idea they could be ‘the next’ target of an hybrid war operated from Moscow with some form of occupation as their objective. At the same time, the Kremlin and several Russian experts have been underlining the danger of an externally-directed non-linear war aimed at weakening Russia’s sovereignty and eventually staging a regime change: the spectre of a ‘coloured revolution’ orchestrated by the West has been for years a postulate of actions taken by the Russian authorities to discourage public mobilization and ultimately repressing protests. Both theories can be sustained or denied, in the framework of a largely hypothetical and undefined picture where many assumptions are taken for granted and few elements can be concretely verified.

Milanion is showcasing the company’s upgraded AGEMA UGV (unmanned ground vehicle) at the Arms and Security 21 trade show, which is being held in Kyiv, Ukraine, from 15 – 18 June.

Spot, the quadruped robot built by US firm Boston Dynamics, has appeared alongside soldiers during military exercises carried out by the French army. The robot was apparently being used for reconnaissance during a two-day training exercise, but the deployment raises questions about how and where Boston Dynamics’ machines will be used in future.

Rheinmetall has unveiled the latest member of its Mission Master autonomous uncrewed ground vehicle (UGV) family, the Mission Master XT, which features a diesel engine and is designed to operate in extreme terrains.

STM Defense Technologies Engineering and Trade Inc. Fixed Wing Intelligent Strike UAV System developed by Alpagu successfully passed the test firing.

This simulation shows how the Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher could be used as a force multiplier in future battles. The system has already gone through testing.

Turkish defense and aviation company Coskunoz has presented new UAVs at an industrial exhibition in Eskisehir.
