There may be a fragile peace agreement in place, but Iran‑linked hackers continue cyber operations, targeting critical infrastructure and perceived enemies. Experts warn cyber activity persists through proxies, who are exploiting uncertainty and geopolitical volatility.

General-purpose AI models do not meet battlefield requirements, driving the Pentagon to support defence-specific AI solutions that operate at the tactical edge. This ensures sovereignty, and integration reliably into C2 and autonomous military operations.

The US Air and Space Forces seek major advances in battery and energy storage technology to power future weapons, drones, space systems, and installations, aiming for far higher energy density, durability, and U.S.-based supply chains.

The Pentagon will release an open-source 5G/6G radio access network software stack to accelerate military and commercial innovation, enabling developers to build customised wireless capabilities and improve spectrum efficiency and AI-enabled network management.

In this opinion piece, Lt. Col. Grant Georgulis (USAF) states that air denial is insufficient for U.S. strategy, arguing air superiority—locally and temporally achieved—is essential for initiative, deterrence, and avoiding costly stalemate.

Australia’s Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) has signed an agreement with DroneShield to advance counter-drone capabilities through shared testing, data exchange, and collaborative R&D, strengthening Australian Defence Force protection against emerging un-crewed aerial threats.
