UAVs have rewritten the rules for military, intelligence, and other roles many times. They’re doing new things daily in all corners of the globe. But no amount of technical innovation can wave away the laws of physics. Learn why aircraft size matters: https://ow.ly/ye0G50QzPVJ

⚫What are the large black dots placed around the F-35? Raytheon's Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System (EODAS) is a revolutionary sensor suite that gives the Lockheed Martin's F-35 unparalleled 360-degree situational awareness. Unmatched Awareness and Survivability The EODAS provides F-35 pilots with a full spherical view of their surroundings, utilizing six high-resolution infrared cameras strategically mounted around the aircraft. These cameras work together to deliver real-time, high-definition imagery directly to the pilot’s helmet-mounted display (HMD). This system not only enhances situational awareness but also significantly improves survivability in the most challenging environments. Advanced Sensor Integration The F-35’s EODAS seamlessly integrates with the aircraft’s other systems to provide a comprehensive operational picture. From passively detecting missiles and navigating through severe weather to providing infrared search and track (IRST) capabilities, the EODAS does it all. The integration of Raytheon’s strained layer super lattice (SLS) detector material into these cameras ensures that pilots receive the most detailed and accurate information possible. Beyond Traditional Capabilities What sets the EODAS apart is its ability to perform functions that were previously unimaginable. The system can detect and track multiple aircraft and missiles simultaneously, provide imagery for night vision, and even pinpoint the location of hostile ground fire—all autonomously and without increasing the pilot’s workload. This level of integration and automation represents a significant leap forward in defense technology. In the images attached, you can see how these infrared cameras are flush mounted on the F-35, providing seamless coverage and transforming the way modern warfare is conducted. The EODAS is not just about seeing more—it’s about understanding more, reacting faster, and surviving in any environment. A video of system in action is posted in the comments. Expanding Mission Possibilities The EODAS has also demonstrated its ability to detect and track ballistic missiles at ranges exceeding 800 miles and identify multiple small suborbital rockets in flight. It’s these capabilities that make the F-35 a truly unmatched force in the skies.

"For Stratolaunch’s second powered Talon-A mission, scheduled for the second half of this year, it wants to push the uncrewed aircraft’s envelope further. The goal is to reach hypersonic speeds and to demonstrate reusability, landing the system on a runway. Talon-A’s first powered flight provided some data to U.S. Defense Department customers, including the Pentagon’s Test Resource Management Center, which is developing an airborne hypersonic test capability called SkyRange. The next flight will take that partnership a step further, with SkyRange’s advanced sensors tracking the mission. It will also be the first flight to support the Pentagon’s Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonics Test Bed program, or MACH-TB. The flying testbed effort is designed to validate hypersonic subsystems, advanced materials and other technologies." #nationalsecurity #aerospaceanddefense #letsroc #hypersonic

An AI-controlled F-16 fighter jet tested May 3rd at Edwards Warnings 1- AI is sensitive to 0,1% bias in the data, and can therefore be wrong 2- Hacking can be used to inject bias in the AI data 3- Targeting is biased as well, we know, our image scale accuracy is 1/10 th of a nanometer, even from COTS, and correcting the scale also shows the aim bias. Our specs beat even NASA Not only is the aim wrong (we saw as much as 1%), but also too slow, and lagging the real target position We know how to prevent a Taiwan invasion by China, no loss of human lives.

The blog "Imagining the Future of Landpower" from the Modern War Institute discusses critical shifts in military strategies and technologies, focusing on the US military's need to adapt to changing warfare dynamics. https://lnkd.in/gzFR-T6G Key insights include: 1- Adaptation to Technological Advances: The military is at an inflection point between evolutionary and revolutionary adaptation, necessitated by the diffusion of low-cost unmanned systems and lethal munitions. 2- Force Modernization and Restructuring: Armies are challenged to move beyond merely adding new capabilities to existing structures. Effective modernization requires coherent transformation. 3- Urban Warfare and Force Design: The book emphasizes urban warfare's complexities and proposes a modern combined arms system with integrated subsystems for maneuver, fires, assault, and support. 4- Command and Control Evolution: Emphasis is placed on less directive leadership and more distributed decision-making to align with modern conflict character. 5- Armored Vehicles and Maneuver Tactics: Discussions include the evolving role of armored vehicles and the necessity of rethinking offensive maneuver strategies. 6- Role of Drones and AI: Counterarguments are presented to the notion that drones will dominate future warfare, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to combined arms that includes unmanned systems. #MilitaryStrategy, #DefenseInnovation, #FutureWarfare, #MilitaryTechnology, #UrbanWarfare, #CommandAndControl, #DronesInWarfare, #ArtificialIntelligence, #ArmedForces, #MilitaryLeadership #bss

BREAKING XQ-67A first flight footage released. The Air Force Research Laboratory successfully flew the first of a second- generation of Autonomous Collaborative Platforms known as the XQ-67A demonstrator, built and flown in the Off-Board Sensing Station (OBSS) program Feb. 28, 2024. The AFRL Off-Board Sensing Station program is the validation of a design, build and test process that has resulted in the XQ-67A. It is the first of its kind to be built on a common chassis or genus — much like that of a motor vehicle frame — and with its first successful flight, the XQ-67A is proof that the genus approach works. This enables a faster and more cost-effective replication of the aircraft. This new approach also responds to the challenge of great power competition by speeding delivery of affordable, advanced capabilities to the warfighter. The XQ-67A is remotely piloted but is capable of autonomous flight. The first test flight of the XQ-67A, took place at the General Atomics Gray Butte Flight Operations Facility near Palmdale, California.

CAST Navigation (WOSB) outlines the variety of interfaces and tools it has developed in order to streamline the development and evaluation process of simulated GNSS/INS scenarios. Read more >> https://hubs.la/Q026q3BK0 CAST Navigation’s GNSS/INS simulators shrink the world to the size of a lab. The company’s simulations let clients recreate GNSS conditions anywhere on Earth, at any point in time, and then model the reception by any vehicle. However, developing scenarios that replace field testing requires taking control of the vast matrix of variables that influence GNSS reception. Drawing on decades of experience, CAST has developed user interfaces and visualization tools that streamline scenario development and evaluation.
