⚓ #RIMPAC2024 Round Up 🌊 Unmanned systems and weapons were the names of the game for #NAWCAD at this year's Rim of the Pacific Exercise. 📦Our engineers, testers, and other technologists across the warfare center were part of the world's largest international maritime warfare exercise experimenting with unmanned systems focused on logistics and intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting, as well as weapons testing alongside fleet users. 🔧Why do our #NAWCADians go to #RIMPAC? Because they're the #CiviliansBehindSailors developing tech for future flight lines. Exercises are important opportunities to test new technology in fleet relevant environments with the service members who use it. #IAmNavalAviation #OneNavyTeam #NavytheNationNeeds

The Unmanned Long-Endurance Tactical Reconnaissance Aircraft (ULTRA) is a durable unmanned aerial platform developed to provide high-quality pattern-of-life intelligence to battlefield commanders. The aircraft is designed by the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Center for Rapid Innovation (CRI) in collaboration with DZYNE Technologies, a US-based autonomous defence technology company. The ULTRA system empowers the US Air Force to acquire and deploy cost-effective aircraft systems capable of operating over extensive ranges as consistent and long-term intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data is crucial for identifying low-contrast asymmetric threats in the modern battlefield.

https://lnkd.in/dkykJ-ZX The Future of Warfare Is Electronic An audacious Ukrainian incursion into Russia shows why. Is the Pentagon paying enough attention? By Porter Smith and Nathan Mintz Sept. 4, 2024 12:35 pm ET The Ukrainian army has launched a stunning offensive into Kursk, Russia, under a shield of advanced electronic weapons. The war in Ukraine is demonstrating that 21st-century conflicts will be won or lost in the arena of electronic warfare. Think of electronic warfare as casting spells on an invisible battlefield. Combatants strive to preserve their own signals, while disrupting those of the enemy. In Kursk, the Ukrainians took advantage of their technical knowledge to achieve a leap in battlefield tactics. Using a variety of electronic sensing systems, they managed to figure out the key Russian radio frequencies along the invasion route. They jammed these frequencies, creating a series of electronic bubbles that kept enemy drones away from Ukrainian forces, allowing reconnaissance units, tanks and mechanized infantry to breach the Russian border mostly undetected. This is the chaotic way of modern combat: a choreography of lightweight, unmanned systems driven by a spiderweb of electronic signals.

With a salute from the Horizon, we welcome Johannes Ginthör and "The Influence Of ATGMS In The Ukrainian War Theatre"! "In the evolving landscape of #warfare, certain analysts question the role of #tanks, as #drones and #missiles dominate the #battlefield. However, the analysis reveals that while tanks may diminish in #importance, they remain #crucial where #terrain permits. Newer anti-tank #guided #missile (#ATGM) systems offer increased #mobility and #protection, shifting the balance in their favour. Yet, the essence of #combat #tactics remains unchanged, with neglecting #fundamentals leading to costly consequences."

Turkey’s Akinci Fires ‘Spinning Fins’ IHA-230 Air-To-Surface Missile; Can Hit Ground Targets With Ease Turkey’s Akinci unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) has test-fired an air-to-ground/air-to-surface missile (AGM/ASM), the first in the country that can fly at “supersonic” speeds. It is designed to counter targets like tactical battlefield command centers, bunkers, logistics nodes, and light armored vehicles. However, an interesting feature of the missile visible in...

Excited to share some insights about the MQ-9 Reaper, a formidable unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that has revolutionized military operations worldwide. The MQ-9 Reaper, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, has proven to be a game-changer in modern warfare. With its advanced capabilities, including long endurance, high-altitude surveillance, and precision strike capabilities, the Reaper has become an indispensable asset for military forces around the globe. One of the key advantages of the MQ-9 Reaper is its versatility. It can be equipped with a variety of mission payloads, ranging from surveillance sensors to precision-guided munitions, allowing it to adapt to a wide range of missions, including intelligence gathering, reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (ISR), as well as airstrikes against both fixed and moving targets. Furthermore, the Reaper's ability to loiter over a target area for extended periods provides commanders with real-time situational awareness and the flexibility to respond swiftly to evolving threats on the battlefield. This capability has proven invaluable in counterterrorism operations, border surveillance, and other security missions. As the demand for unmanned aerial systems continues to grow, the MQ-9 Reaper remains at the forefront of military technology, continuously evolving to meet the challenges of modern warfare. Its proven track record and reliability make it a vital asset for enhancing operational effectiveness and ensuring mission success. Looking forward, I'm excited to see how the MQ-9 Reaper and other UAVs will continue to shape the future of military operations, providing commanders with enhanced capabilities and decision-making tools to meet the complex challenges of tomorrow's battlespace. #MQ9Reaper #UAV #MilitaryTechnology #DefenseIndustry #Innovation

[...] The SR-72 is allegedly designed to be unmanned, hypersonic, and reusable. Its primary functions will likely be intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) activities. [...] I think we need to focus on #xAI with our full force. Considering a public/private project to focus on? I'd pick that. Making #explainability as important as full #resilience is the most balanced approach.

Why are maritime operations crucial in safeguarding oceans? In the wake of the latest series of attacks in the Red Sea threatening maritime safety, we confront escalating challenges such as drug trafficking, firearms trafficking, human trafficking, piracy, terrorism at sea, along with illegal fishing. Key maritime missions become imperative.   Steadicopter Ltd.'s Black Eagle rotary unmanned aerial vehicles (RUAV) family emerges as an outstanding solution, particularly suitable for Coast Guards and Navy operations. With its automatic vertical take-off & landing and the ability to land on a narrow ship's deck, even in small areas boat, the Black Eagle is adapted to changing marine weather conditions.   It offers minimal footprints and allows for deployment on any ship type. Featuring high flight performance, mission sensors, and compact dimensions for efficient and safe operations, the Black Eagle family aligns seamlessly with maritime dominance, early threat detection, and swift data dissemination.   Certified by the Israeli Aviation Authority, it serves the IDF and the Israeli Navy, showcasing versatile capabilities for takeoff and landing on the shore, on a ship at sea, and seamless control handover.   #ruav #UAV #vtol  #unmanned #unmannedsystems #maritime #maritimesecurity #navy #coastguard
