Defence lacks the tools to track emerging technologies as the pace of innovation exceeds traditional defence processes. The gap between research and readiness continues widening while dual-use technologies blur the lines between threat and breakthrough.

Modern firearms can fire in space because bullets contain their own oxidiser. The shot is silent, it faces almost no atmospheric drag, and the shooter is pushed backwards by recoil.

Rising GPS interference from Russian systems threatens civil, military, and critical infrastructure across Europe. Experts urge adoption of jamming-resistant technology—including laser-based satellite communications—to secure navigation, timing, and defence operations in contested environments.

Overthinking stalls progress by creating a cycle of doubt and delay. Breaking it requires awareness, setting limits, focusing on immediate next steps, embracing imperfect action, and building trust in your ability to handle outcomes.

The accelerated shift to post-quantum encryption highlights growing urgency for governments and industry to prepare early. Planning and independent verification will be vital as future cryptographic threats evolve. Microsoft targets full post-quantum migration by 2033.

The Treaty commits both nations to mutual consultation when either country is threatened and builds on last year’s defence cooperation agreement. Leaders emphasised trust, friendship, and regional stability. To be signed formally in Jakarta in January.

The increasingly dangerous interceptions of Australian aircraft reflect deliberate military coercion; a deteriorating regional security environment; and the breakdown of global norms—reinforcing the urgency of AUKUS and strengthened Australian deterrence.

Decades of U.S. dominance have bred complacent assumptions about mobility and sustainment in the Indo-Pacific. Williams argues planners must confront logistical, geographic, and force design limits, adopting realistic, resilient postures grounded in war-gaming and analysis.

Most people can meet their magnesium needs through diet. Supplements may help in specific cases, such as deficiency or migraines, but aren’t proven to prevent cramps or reliably improve sleep. Always consult a doctor first.

Hull-mounted sonar struggles with turbulence and noise. Advances in towed active and passive sonar are transforming detection; offering greater range and accuracy for surface and subsurface vessels. Smaller arrays could be used on un-crewed vessels.
