DEFCON AI’s Post

✈️📊 DEFCON AI has delivered a modeling, simulation, and analysis system to the Air Mobility Command as part of a project to amplify the service’s logistics planning capabilities. “ARTIV enables logistics and transportation planners to plan for and stay ahead of crises by helping them to formulate, visualize, analyze, and compare courses of action against an intelligent Red Agent or a war-gamed threat scenario,” DEFCON AI CEO Yisroel Brumer explained. “These features are critical for today’s planner, allowing them to do their jobs faster than ever before – reducing planning time from weeks and months to days – and to develop plans with resiliency already baked in to minimize risk.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #usairforce #usaf #logistics

Colonel Berkland's insights highlight the critical role of large-scale exercises in enhancing readiness and deterrence in the Indo-Pacific. As a former 354 Wing Commander (My former Wing) with extensive experience in the region, his perspective thoroughly identifies the significance of these exercises in maintaining overmatch at the high end of combat. Additionally the emphasis on building more complex and intense exercises reflects a strategic shift towards strengthening international alliances and partnerships. In an era marked by increasing aggression from China and escalating threats from North Korea, these exercises serve as a cornerstone for fostering cooperation and interoperability among allied nations. The continued nature of learning how to operate together adds strategic advantages across all fronts. Col. Berkland's remarks underscore the ongoing commitment to professionalism and safety amidst growing tensions in the region. It is imperative that we have continuous collaboration and preparedness to uphold stability and security in the Indo-Pacific. #IndoPacific #MilitaryReadiness #AlliedPartnerships #Security #Deterrence

This will demand enhanced capacity, revised capabilities, new operational concepts, considerations tied to survivability both in the air and on the ground, plus fresh thinking regarding command and control. Given what’s at stake, this is a “failure isn’t an option” moment. #AirForce #USAF #Airman #SpaceForce #Guardian

Edit to GPS ask - Thanks everyone! I got a couple of great examples to be used later. If you have any more, please reach out. I'm supporting a great start-up who is supporting our warfighters, and every bit of customer discovery helps. (and for those concerned about OPSEC, as we all should be, these were appropriate in scope and specificity) Quick ask for the network (Military specific): Tell me about a time you could not accomplish your mission objective due to inadequate GPS solution. If able, tell me about the situation, the impact of the GPS issue, and any lessons learned. Feel free to PM vs reply (no attribution if desired). Example - couldn't put a weapon on target, couldn't execute an air drop, couldn't land an aircraft.... #GPS #DoD #Military #USAF #PACAF

Fascinating read on the supply chain parts challenges in the planned 35-year extension of the life of the B-52, the 70-year-old weapon system currently employed in the portfolio of the US DoD. With a cold supply chain for many part numbers, coupled with the complexity of normalizing the fleet configuration in the USAF depots, the program will indeed be a multi-year initiative with funding issues, technical expertise, labor force shortfalls and much more being faced by a Program Manager. Only the US has the will, $$$ and the management to successfully deliver aging bombers; our enemies just do not have the ability to compete with us in sustaining its installed base of weapon systems. #dod #weapons #usaf #upgrade

In Episode 162 of the Aerospace Advantage, Airpower and Spacepower Predictions for 2024: The Rendezvous, Mitchell Institute’s John “Slick” Baum chats with members of the The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies team about the latest defense developments in the beltway and the broader national security community. #AirForce #USAF #Airman #SpaceForce #Guardian

𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗦 #𝟮 "𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁": The Mitchell Institute is hosting a Space Endurance Workshop to examine what will be required for the United States to maintain an enduring spacepower advantage during the great power competition. The forum will examine 6 crisis scenarios spanning from 2026 to 2048. #AirForce #USAF #Airman #SpaceForce #Guardian

✈️👏 The Air Force Research Laboratory has asked industry partners to develop new, advanced sensors that can support all-weather intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. According to a recent sources-sought notice, the new radio frequency capability must use non-traditional radar to provide persistent surveillance in highly-contested environments. It must also be able to accurately track moving targets at sea, air, and land. The AFRL will choose up to three vendors to be awarded contracts worth nearly $95 million over six years. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #usairforce #airforce #usaf #us #nationalsecurity #aviation #afrl

🇬🇧🛩️⚡️ In a first, a Royal Air Force (RAF)’s Eurofighter Typhoon combat jet took to the skies with its new electronic warfare radar from Leonardo. Called the European Common Radar System Mark 2 (ECRS Mk2), the tech is designed to give pilots the ability to locate, identify, and suppress hostile air defenses with high precision. “The development of the ECRS Mk2 is fully using the UK’s world-class radar design skills,” chief engineer Tim Bungey noted. “Over the past few months, its processor, receiver and antenna power supply and control units have all been re-engineered from the prototype design to further enhance [its] capacity, capability, and performance.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #uk #royalairforce #raf #leonardo #electronicwarfare #ew
