In speech after speech, Army leaders have made it clear that they want more drones in more units. “We're going to see robotics inside the formation, on the ground and in the air,” Army Chief of Staff Randy George told Defense One in March. Now a growing number of Army units, and particularly their junior officers and enlisted soldiers, are engaged in wide-ranging experiments to answer George’s call—and learn to train for, field, and operate their new systems.

“China’s latest aircraft carrier is much more than a big ship” Our latest China Intelligence report with BluePath Labs (8(a) & SDVOSB) Defense One https://lnkd.in/eaNifHFx What does China actually think and say about its carriers (vs what we think about them)? "Beyond the operational implications of larger, more capable aircraft carriers in the hands of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, the true value of these capital ships is how they advance both China’s doctrine of an informatized approach to warfare and a strategic narrative that shapes perceptions about Chinese military power domestically, regionally, and globally."

Fired up to announce we at Defense One have completed the program for 9th Defense One Tech Summit and the timing could not be more urgent! The U.S. lead in technology development is in peril. Autocratic states bent on challenging the international order are deploying new technologies in pursuit of their aims in doing so–in many cases–in a fraction of the time it takes the United States to bring a solution from concept to the battlefield. Breakthroughs in critical emerging technologies like AI, hypersonics, quantum science, directed energy, and biotechnology—once believed decades away—are now reshaping battlefields and geopolitical realities. Join me on June 18th in Pentagon City as we convene leaders from across government and industry to explore how the Pentagon and its partners are working to right the balance and keep the United States at the cutting edge of defense technology.

I was honored to collaborate with noted author Peter W. Singer on an article for Defense One about China's Type 003 Fujian aircraft carrier and how it advances not just military capabilities, but also Beijing's narrative about China's rise as a naval power. Many thanks to Blue Path Labs and The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies for their support in this endeavor! https://lnkd.in/eHVa4cYt

The Defense Department has been warning of the growing risks of weapons in space, but the massive increase in objects about to enter low-Earth orbit will make tracking potential weapons even harder. A California company called Slingshot Aerospace has created an AI system to address that challenge, by identifying strangely behaving satellites within large satellite constellations—which could indicate space weapons or other threats.

The U.S. Navy, along with its shipbuilders and their thousands of specialty suppliers, need more than 100,000 workers to help build attack and ballistic missile submarines over the coming decade. That’s according to BuildSubmarines.com, whose ubiquitous ads you may have seen during reality TV shows, on NASCAR hoods, at WNBA games, and amid Major League Baseball broadcasts. But what is that website and who runs it? Read the the story by Lauren C. Williams: https://lnkd.in/gxvqwKQQ #navy #submarines #buildsubmarines #defenseindustry #adcampaign #defenseindustrialbase

The Pentagon has picked four non-traditional defense contractors to develop drones that can be produced en masse and “on-call,” acknowledging that industry giants might not be up to providing the relatively inexpensive uncrewed systems that are looming larger in modern war.
