The U.S. Army’s Special Operations school is training Robotics Technician warrant officers to integrate and reprogram drones, robots and networks in contested environments, enhancing battlefield flexibility and resilience against evolving threats.

Effective followership means supporting and modelling an organisation’s values while avoiding harmful group pressure. Good followers demonstrate teamwork, integrity, courage and respect, recognising that principled followership is essential for effective leadership and meaningful personal achievement.

The authors show how translation, sequencing and independently sourced evidence can shape interpretations without fabricating facts. Such narratives can influence diplomacy, defence sales, markets and military decisions by exploiting trusted external sources.

This article summarises the latest developments in our region including South Korea advancing its domestically developed hypersonic technology and Indonesia increasing regional influence through Pacific medical diplomacy. North Korea is expanding naval infrastructure for larger warships.

The authors argue foreign-trained AI models can retain political assumptions after local hosting and adaptation. Their testing found language-based differences, suggesting Australia should examine model origins, inherited settings and behaviour before deployment.

The Hivemind software should be integrated into Innovaero’s Australian-designed OWL autonomous precision munitions. The combination is intended to coordinate multiple aircraft and continue missions when satellite navigation or communications are degraded.

Melatonin helps regulate sleep, reduce jet lag and slightly improve daytime sleep for shift workers, but is generally ineffective for chronic insomnia. Good sleep habits, including limiting evening screen exposure, remain important.

More than 300 pages of former prisoners’ handwritten accounts describe brutal conditions, forced labour, beatings and killings in German camps. Authenticated records intended as war-crimes evidence are now digitised and publicly available.

The satellites will extend secure, jam-resistant Link 16 communications into space and support missile warning and tracking. Their low-Earth-orbit network aims to provide faster information sharing across the joint force globally.

This article explains AI workloads increase fibre density, power demand and cooling requirements across data-centre subsystems. Modular cabling, high-density connections and immersion cooling may support rapid expansion and reliable operation.
