Un-crewed systems—air, sea, and ground—are reshaping risk management in high-threat environments, where rapid innovation is essential. Ukraine plans a layered air drone wall, while robots manoeuvre along the front, with soldiers hidden underground.

Part of AUKUS Pillar II technology sharing, the un-crewed submarine was directed across hemispheres during Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025. The UK, Australia, and the US are currently working with Japan on underwater acoustic communications.

The authors argue that true drone swarming—autonomous, distributed, adaptive behaviour—is not yet operational in military forces. Current systems focus on numbers, not resilient network architecture. Real swarming requires infrastructure redesign and doctrinal shifts.

The author of this article explores how some HR managers now label workers as ‘older’ from age 51, risking age bias. Instead, the focus should be on attitude, aptitude, and contribution, rather than age.

The Philippines and India completed their first joint naval drills in the South China Sea, including manoeuvring, communications, and air-defence operations. The exercise underscores expanding maritime cooperation outside US sphere.

The author outlines phrases that exacerbate anxiety—like “just calm down”—and suggests empathetic alternatives that foster understanding and emotional support. The focus is on compassionate communication that validates, rather than dismisses distress.

Addressing psychosocial safety requires changing hearts and minds—not just procedures. Workplace cultures reliant on compliance can miss root challenges. Leaders must drive adaptive changes to embed real behaviour shifts and psychological safety.

This article explores how mimicry, imitation and modelling others can accelerate skill development, boost confidence and raise performance standards. It argues that adopting 'expert' mindsets can unlock hidden potential in competitive and professional contexts.

Ukraine is integrating ground robots into casualty evacuation operations, significantly reducing medic risk and enabling faster, more flexible responses under fire. These systems shift traditional battlefield medical dynamics toward automation and force protection.

The article examines the phenomenon of the "invisible resigner"—employees quietly disengaging, rather than quitting. It guides HR on re-engaging these individuals via proactive check-ins, clearer role expectations, and opportunities for influence and belonging.
