Taiwan’s military plans to allocate more than NT$1 billion (US$32 million) for drone technology integration as the island scales up its uncrewed platforms and bolsters asymmetric warfare strength amid growing pressure from Beijing.According to a budget document submitted to Taiwan’s legislature, the Armaments Bureau will spend more than NT$1.01 billion from 2026 to 2028 on a “forward-looking multi-integration development project” for uncrewed platforms, with NT$507 million to be executed in the first year.The initiative aims to develop core technologies that would allow drones to operate without Global Positioning System support, resist jamming and use high-density batteries – capabilities seen as…

Terry Gerton Mr. Buzzett, let me start with you. Tell us a little bit about the National Armaments Consortium. What is it, how does it work with the Department of Defense? Joe Buzzett Yeah, so the National Armaments Consortium is a group of engineers, designers, scientists and manufacturers from across the defense industry, really focused on the armaments part of the portfolio. We’re one of the oldest, I think the oldest [Other Transaction Authority (OTA)]. We were started in the early 2000s. We came out of what was called the [Warheads and Energetics Technology Center (WETC)]. It was really focused…

Denmark’s largest defence and aerospace manufacturer, Terma A/S, has begun testing its solutions for detecting Russian drones in Ukraine, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov reported. “Engineers are now integrating this technology with the Ukrainian interceptor ‘Horska’ developed by Odd Systems to detect Russian targets at even greater distances,” Fedorov wrote on his Telegram channel on Friday. According to him, the Brave1 cluster facilitated the testing and provided military feedback. Fedorov added that the next stage of trials is planned after military comments are taken into account. As reported in September this year, Terma…

Shotgun has always been a discipline I have severely neglected over the years, but recently I have come to the realization that it was something I could no longer ignore.There are a plethora of tactical shotguns on the market from companies like Benelli or Mossberg, but one of the more recent additions has risen to popularity rapidly, the Beretta 1301.With its proprietary BLINK gas system and rugged reliability, it has quickly become a favourite among sporting and tactical enthusiasts alike.

Weapons is one of those 2025 movie releases we’ll be talking about well after the year is over, especially due to the terrifying villain it introduced to audiences. I’m talking about Amy Madigan’s Aunt Gladys, who has become so popular in culture that the character was a big Halloween costume this year. The word on the street is that there will be an Aunt Gladys Weapons spinoff, but why haven’t we heard about it since rumors first surfaced months ago?This week, writer/director Zach Cregger broke his silence on the Aunt Gladys spinoff. Here’s what he told Deadline:We’re still kind of…

When defense analysts discuss “hybrid fleets” combining crewed and uncrewed systems, they inadvertently obscure what may be the most significant transformation in naval warfare since the aircraft carrier displaced the battleship. The term “hybrid” suggests simple addition where manned platforms plus unmanned platforms equals enhanced capability. This mathematical metaphor fundamentally misrepresents the revolution actually unfolding across the world’s oceans. The reality is far more profound. Nations like Singapore and China are pioneering what might better be termed “mothership warfare” or a concept that creates genuine force multiplication through 360-degree operational integration across air, surface, and subsurface domains. Rather than merely…
