The centerpiece of 21st century global security The F-35 strengthens national security, enhances global partnerships and powers economic growth. As the most lethal, survivable and connected fighter jet in the world, the F-35 gives pilots the critical advantage against any adversary, enabling them to execute their mission and come home safe. The aircraft descends from the Lockheed Martin X-35, which in 2001 beat the Boeing X-32 to win the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. Its development is principally funded by the United States, with additional funding from program partner countries from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and close U.S. allies, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Italy, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Turkey. The U.S. plans to buy 2,456 F-35s through 2044, which will represent the bulk of the crewed tactical aviation of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps for several decades; the aircraft is planned to be a cornerstone of NATO and U.S.-allied air power and to operate until 2070.

Did you know that the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an incredibly versatile military aircraft? Combining the capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft, this tiltrotor aircraft is primarily used by the United States Marine Corps, with additional usage by the Air Force Special Operations Command and the Navy. The latest model, the MV-22B, boasts enhanced performance capabilities, upgraded avionics, and increased reliability making it ideal for amphibious assaults, expeditionary warfare, and special operations support. This versatility makes the Osprey a critical asset in various military operations, enabling rapid deployment and retrieval of troops from otherwise inaccessible areas. It's no wonder that the Osprey is a valued aircraft in the military. The most current model, the CMV-22B, is designed specifically for the carrier onboard delivery (COD) role and is primarily used by the U.S. Navy. #Osprey #ArmiteLubricants #MRO #OEM #USMilitary #aircraft

🚢 Exciting news in the maritime industry! The U.S. Navy has unveiled plans to retire 48 ships between 2022-2026, marking a significant shift in naval strategy and resource allocation. These plans, now up for legislative consideration, include transferring vessels to MARAD, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), or recycling. This strategic move reflects the Navy's commitment to modernization and optimization, ensuring that resources are efficiently utilized to meet evolving defense needs. It also opens up opportunities for collaboration and partnership both domestically and internationally.

DF-21D: China's Ultimate Weapon to Sink U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers The DF-21D missile, part of China's strategic anti-area/access denial (A2/AD) arsenal, represents a pivotal component of Beijing's military posture against US naval power in the Indo-Pacific. Stemming from a long history of prioritizing innovative defense mechanisms, the DF-21D is designed to thwart US military influence near China's borders, particularly concerning

We working on something powerful...😈😈The Navy is typically considered strong due to its ability to project power globally, control maritime domains, and provide a platform for power projection through aircraft carriers, submarines, and surface vessels. Naval forces possess significant firepower, the ability to transport and deploy troops, and the capacity to conduct various operations at sea.On the other hand, the Air Force is recognized for its air superiority capabilities, long-range strike capabilities, and its ability to control airspace. With advanced fighter aircraft, bombers, surveillance, and intelligence assets, the Air Force plays a critical role in maintaining control over the skies and supporting military operations.It's also worth noting that military strength should not be measured solely by the size of the force or the amount of equipment. Factors such as technological advancements, training, logistics, command and control structures, intelligence capabilities, and strategic partnerships all contribute to a military's overall strength.

In both maritime transport and military marine, the naval industry is strengthening the development of innovative solutions and digital manufacturing solutions. Swipe 👉 to learn more #NavalIndustry #TomorrowsWorld #ALTENfinland

This one is more than a business transaction for me 🇺🇸 It could be argued that geopolitical tensions with near-peers have not been this elevated since the Cold War. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, proxy support by extremist powers to terrorists in Gaza, China's increasing brazenness in the South China Sea - all point to a growing need for preparedness of the US and her allies to defend freedom, democracy, and basic human rights on a global scale. We've said before that REGENT was founded with a commercial focus, and that's true. We were just a couple of aviation-geeks and sailors that wanted a faster, cheaper, greener way to go Boston to New York and LA to SF. But as we began speaking to leadership in DoD, a real, tangible, important, and urgent use case emerged. We saw the increasing need for maritime high speed logistics to support island hopping in a style we hadnt really relied upon since WWII. This mission means a great deal to me. We have the opportunity to support and sustain our troops who would be deployed to expeditionary island bases if a major conflict in the Indo-Pacific were to erupt. That means getting food and supplies to those on the frontlines and at the edge. But even greater than the opportunity to support logistics, by getting our high-speed, low-signature transportation technology into the hands of our servicemembers, we would send the message to would-be adversaries that with these new capabilities, we are prepared in a way they have never seen before. We therefore have the opportunity to aid in the deterrence of conflict itself. REGENT is one among *many* amazing companies working to ensure that deterrence - because deterrence is the holy grail. It is frankly terrifying to me that we may be so close to deploying seaglider technology to defend our way of life, but the responsibility and pride I feel as an American to contribute sharpens my focus and resolve. We talk about it alot at REGENT. So, I am incredibly proud to announce REGENT's first contract with DoD. It is the first step in the admittedly long journey to get seaglider technology into the hands of Marines and make that difference. And if I had to bet on anyone, I'd bet on this amazing team at REGENT to make it happen. Thank you to those who serve our country, and our allied nations, to protect our way of life. Marines, we are racing to support. Oorah!

Seagliders are a perfect fit for coastal defense missions & logistics. As a true dual-use company, we are proud to announce that REGENT has signed a $4.75 million agreement with the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL) to demonstrate #seaglider technology for defense logistics operations.  The entire team at REGENT is motivated by the fact that our vessels could save lives, help accomplish critical missions, or play a role in deterring conflict altogether. Ret. General Robert Neller, who served as the 37th Commandant of the United States Marine Corps and now sits on REGENT’s Defense Advisory Board noted: “REGENT seagliders provide the ability to distribute multiple capabilities in the littorals, including logistics, command and control, and ISR. The REGENT seaglider capabilities will create success.” This is a another major milestone towards bringing seagliders to market; we're eager to demonstrate their ability to operate in each their modes of operation and understand the vessels' potential in military operations, including maneuver and transport operations.
