The U.S. Army is rethinking its warfare strategy due to the increasing lethality of modern conflicts, driven by advanced sensors and long-range weapons. A recent TRADOC report highlights the shift towards firepower-centric tactics, emphasizing the role of drones and artillery in future large-scale combat operations. The report also underscores the need for new strategies in logistics and command post positioning to adapt to these technological advancements. As conflicts evolve, the Army is preparing for sustained operations, reflecting lessons from current global conflicts.

🤩 The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has contracted Lockheed Martin to develop AI tools for autonomous, airborne missions. Surrogate models of aircraft, sensors, electronic warfare, and weapons will be built under the $4.6-million contract as part of the Artificial Intelligence Reinforcements (AIR) program. “In complex airborne missions, our customers need access to advanced technologies that connect critical systems quickly across all domains,” VP of Engineering and Technology for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control Gaylia Campbell said. “The DARPA AIR program will use state-of-the-art scientific ML technology and Lockheed Martin’s ARISE infrastructure to deliver unprecedented amounts of data that service members can use to make faster and more informed decisions.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #lockheedmartin #us #unitedstates #darpa #artificialintelligence #ai

At Eurosatory exhibition in Paris, Rheinmetall presented the first-ever solution for a vertically launch smoke protection system – the ROSY_VL Rapid Obscuring System Vertical Launch. Ten smoke grenades fired from the unit create a smoke shield above the vehicle. This quickly and effectively interrupts the line of sight in both the visible and IR spectral range. Hence, ROSY is the one of the world's first proven obscuring system against top-attack-assaults from drones and anti-tank missiles. Using the ROSY smoke launcher already in service on many vehicles, this new launcher/dispenser unit can be used to create a hemispherical shield. Rheinmetall's 40 mm Rapid Obscuring System is available in various customer specific configurations for numerous applications. It offers unique protection for military and civilian vehicles against unexpected attacks.

Defense technology firm Anduril announced Thursday that it has developed a new line of air-breathing, software-defined, autonomous cruise missiles — one of which is the company’s offering for the Air Force’s ongoing Enterprise Test Vehicle program. The Barracuda family of weapons leverage a modular design that enables the missiles to be mass-produced at low cost and high volume in order to meet the Defense Department’s growing demand for munitions. Each of the three variants — Barracuda-100, Barracuda-250 and Barracuda-500 — vary in size, range and payload capacity, but all of the systems can be fitted with additional capabilities to support a range of missions and launch mechanisms, according to the company. https://lnkd.in/eDzegkkN

⚡️ The United States Marine Corps has tested the low-rate initial production model of the Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) in Arizona. Held at the US Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG), the test validated two MADIS platforms in a live-fire trial with simulated battlefield scenarios against launched drones. Each was mounted aboard Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, with the first acting as a detector and the other for neutralization. The agency wrote that the demonstration concluded with the weapons being able to track and defeat multiple targets using Stingers and a 30-millimeter cannon. “MADIS can complete the entire kill chain, and we witness that during this event,” Ground Based Air Defense Program Manager Andrew Konicki said. “The importance of countering [unmanned aerial system] threats cannot be overstated. We see it all over the news. MADIS is the key. We’re excited to get this out to Marines.” 👉 Full story: https://lnkd.in/ep9ScyHA #military #technology #innovation #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #usmarines #usmarinecorps #usmc #airdefense #airdefence #madis #drones #counterdrone #cuas #uas
