Un buscador infrarrojo de imagen, que se cree pertenecía a un interceptor THAAD estadounidense, parece haber sido encontrado en Siria, un desarrollo que podría exponer tecnología sensible de defensa antimisiles si se verifica.

Una nueva evaluación de la Secure World Foundation afirma que más países están desarrollando formas de interferir con los sistemas espaciales o atacarlos, mientras también aumenta el bloqueo del GPS y de los satélites de comunicaciones.

Una supuesta pistola de bobina de China, con apariencia de arma corta, sugiere que los conceptos de lanzamiento electromagnético siguen avanzando hacia formatos más pequeños y especializados, centrados en un uso controlado y potencialmente no letal.

El uso de misiles balísticos que liberan municiones de racimo a gran altitud está poniendo de relieve una vulnerabilidad en la defensa antimisiles terminal y aumentando la presión sobre los interceptores de medio curso.

El plan informado de Japón de ampliar drones kamikaze y misiles de bajo costo apunta a una estrategia de defensa centrada en el alcance, la asequibilidad y la masa.

Un enfoque de propulsión híbrida chino, según se informa, para drones de combate sugiere que los diseñadores militares intentan equilibrar cada vez más autonomía, discreción acústica y flexibilidad operativa en un solo sistema.

Military planners explore adapting Ukraine-proven FPV drone tactics for extreme cold Arctic environments, facing unique challenges from temperature, terrain, and GPS denial.

After burning through billions in missiles in three days, the US military is turning to Ukraine's battle-tested $1,000 interceptor drones for affordable air defense.

The US Marine Corps is pursuing wearable thermal cloaks that mask body heat signatures from infrared cameras and drone sensors.

The U.S. military's next-generation Precision Strike Missile made its combat debut during Operation Epic Fury, doubling the range of its predecessor ATACMS.

The U.S. military has used its LUCAS long-range kamikaze drones in combat for the first time during Operation Epic Fury against Iran. The drones, reverse-engineered from Iran's Shahed-136 design, cost just $35,000 each and were deployed by the newly created Task Force Scorpion Strike.

Facing severe personnel shortages after three years of conflict, Ukraine is transforming its military doctrine around autonomous and semi-autonomous drones. What began as improvised drone warfare has matured into a systematic shift where machines increasingly fill roles once held by infantry soldiers.

Defense analysts are sounding the alarm that NATO lacks the doctrine, technology, and infrastructure to counter drone threats in the Arctic region. As Russia and China expand their military presence in the High North, the alliance faces a critical capability gap in one of the world's most strategically important theaters.

The Defense Innovation Unit has announced a $100 million Orchestrator Prize Challenge, seeking technology that lets commanders control mixed swarms of drones from different manufacturers using plain language commands. The program represents a strategic pivot from buying individual drones to coordinating autonomous fleets.

The U.S. Army has established the Pathway for Innovation and Technology office to connect frontline soldiers' ideas with rapid-acquisition programs. The new office aims to bridge the gap between small-scale prototyping hubs and the large program offices that manage production at scale.

The Government Accountability Office is pushing for the Pentagon's research and engineering office to gain budget certification authority over military departments' technology investments, but the Army, Navy, and Air Force have pushed back sharply.
