**US Army Develops New Missile Defense Strategy**
The US Army is working on a new missile defense strategy, focusing on preparing for potential threats in the 2040 timeframe. The strategy aims to address the increasing complexity of missile threats from North Korea, Iran, and other nations. The Army is considering various options, including the development of new interceptors, sensors, and battle management systems. The goal is to ensure the Army's missile defense capabilities remain effective and adaptable in the face of evolving threats.

ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG: These issues—lack of USG due diligence—are common place throughout the FMS ecosystem. But remain unacknowledged and hidden by management. With combat operations, they bubble to the top quickly. "Providing PATRIOT air defense systems to the UAF without a strategy for sustainment increases risks to both the DoD and Ukraine. Specifically, Ukraine may not be able to independently sustain the systems, and the DoD may face challenges supporting PATRIOT systems in Ukraine while still maintaining readiness of U.S. PATRIOT air defense systems." A revealing read. Will this be just another report filed away with no concrete action taken? Shall we bet a buffalo nickel?

Poland's Ministry of National Defence finalized a $2.5 billion deal with the U.S. government for the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS)
This cutting-edge technology will synchronize Poland's air and missile defense weapons, enhancing their national security capabilities significantly.
Scheduled deliveries from 2024 to 2031 will see Poland utilizing the IBCS to operate Patriot missile launchers as part of the Wisla medium-range air defense program and the Narew short-range equivalent.
With plans to deploy the acquired systems across six Wisla batteries and 23 Narew batteries, Poland's defense ministry is taking proactive steps to boost its defense capabilities effectively.
Deputy Prime Minister and National Defense Minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, emphasized the significance of this milestone, highlighting Poland's status as the second country, after the United States, to implement this integrated command system.

“Aegis Ashore is primarily designed to engage ballistic threats during the midcourse portion of their flight outside the Earth’s atmophere using SM-3 interceptors. However, the Mk 41 is a modular launcher, meaning that additional anti-missile interceptors, such as the terminal-stage intercept and anti-air SM-6 and the forthcoming Glide Phase Interceptor”
Australia have just done a deal for SM-2 and SM-6.

Hopefully, in the fullness of time, we will have the ability to make as many of these as we need.
(Surely it can’t be that much of a stretch to do SM-3 as well ?)
Now the BIG strategic capability question is what do we do with that capability.
We need to feed the VLS on the AWDs AND the multi-purpose frigates (if they ever happen) AND the robot missile boats (is they ever happen).
A reasonable observer might ask - with all these SM systems lying around…why not have a hard look at Aegis Ashore ?
Whilst I’m a big fan of mobile systems, the overall anti-ballistic missile capability of the technically mature Aegis system makes it an interesting option.
At some point, the government will have to fess up to the Australian public about the vulnerability of continental Australia and commit to defending Defence bases, defence industries, critical infrastructure and population centres.
We lack a meaningful, layered air defence capability.
The bad guys could launch at us tomorrow and all we could do is take the hits :(

The Brazilian defense industrial base is a crucial component of the nation's security and economic strategy. It encompasses a wide range of industries and technologies aimed at supporting the armed forces and ensuring national defense. Here are some key aspects and images related to this important sector:
🇺🇦⚡️ HENSOLDT is scheduled to deliver six more TRML-4D early warning radars to Ukraine later this year to boost the country's air defense.
The radars are part of a 100-million-euro comprehensive order package that includes an earlier tranche of TRML-4D systems delivered in 2023.
Hensoldt CEO Oliver Dörre said the equipment is a vital part of Ukraine's defense in the ongoing war. "The feedback from our customers confirms how important the rapid availability of the radars is for the protection of their citizens," he added.
