The Army, Navy and Space Force have completed the first test at sea of an experimental electronic warfare system designed to disrupt navigation data used by enemy precision weapons. The maritime version of “Hammer of the Gods” was tested off Southern California in mid-July during Project Convergence-Capstone 6, the Army’s largest experiment involving emerging battlefield technology.

The Army has not disclosed the system’s range, contractor, cost or anticipated fielding date. It also has not said whether the experiment disrupted live signals or…

KYIV, Ukraine — The race for a new anti-ballistic system has begun.After decades of relying on the U.S.-made Patriot interceptor system and its hit-to-kill PAC-3 munition as the most proven air defense against ballistic missiles, three new tracks are now leveraging international cooperation and a dire global need to develop and manufacture cheaper interceptor platforms. Some officials, meanwhile, are hoping the sense of urgency leads to the fielding of the first new prototypes by the end of 2026 — years faster than today’s Patriots can be made.It’s an ambitious ask.

Many people judge their fitness by how much they weigh, how visible their abs are, or how much they can lift in the gym. While those things can tell you something, they rarely provide the full picture. True fitness is much broader. It includes your heart and lungs, muscles, joints, nervous system, recovery ability, and even how efficiently your body performs everyday tasks. Someone who cannot bench press twice their body weight may still have excellent cardiovascular health, mobility, and muscular endurance. Likewise, someone with an impressive physique may struggle with basic measures of overall health. Exercise scientists increasingly emphasize…

A hospital is brought to its knees, not by a natural disaster or mass casualty event, but by a cyberattack. Screens go dark. The network collapses.

They’re playing out across the country more and more, as cyberattacks on healthcare organizations reach staggering highs.  In 2025 alone, the sector faced more than 700 reported attacks, putting more than 50…

Russian President Vladimir Putin has faced widespread ridicule this week following Sunday’s dramatically downgraded Russian Navy Day celebrations, with detractors claiming that the sorry spectacle underlined his inability to secure Russian airspace against Ukrainian drones. Russia’s annual Navy Day festivities have traditionally served as an opportunity to flex the country’s maritime muscles. In the past, the holiday has featured a naval parade involving dozens of ships from the Baltic Fleet sailing down the Neva River in St. Petersburg amid much pomp and ceremony. In contrast, this year’s scaled down event took place in a nondescript courtyard with no warships whatsoever…
