JERUSALEM — Israel Aerospace Industries has unveiled a new air defense system designed to jam and spoof the satellite navigation signals that guide aerial threats, the company announced this weekend.The system, called Hypnosis, consists of an array of mobile “stations” around a defended area, working in unison to disrupt the command-and-control signals of incoming threats, according to the manufacturer.The company said the technology is the product of IAI’s experience in navigation warfare, of NAVWAR.The soft-kill weapon is meant as a method for taking out large numbers of drones at once, in situations where hard-kill — or kinetic — intercepts would…

Credit: UK MoDDefense Feeds, London – UK doubles Sky Sabre air defense force under a new modernization effort that will see the British Army receive six additional launchers and six command-and-control centers by 2027.The expansion is designed to significantly increase the country’s ground-based air defense capacity as London responds to a rapidly changing security environment and the growing threat posed by missiles, drones and low-flying aircraft.The procurement follows recommendations outlined in the UK’s Strategic Defence Review, which places renewed emphasis on strengthening homeland defense while improving the military’s ability to support NATO operations across Europe. By increasing the number of…

Bo Nickal admits Colby Covington put in some solid work in his RAF 11 victory this past Saturday, but he feels a potential match between the two would play out far differently. Covington looked to continue his momentum in freestyle wrestling against top UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan inside the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. Covington earned a 5-3 win over Tsarukyan to improve his RAF record to 4-0. He has now nabbed victories over Tsarukyan, Chris Weidman, Dillon Danis, and Luke Rockhold. Nickal saw Covington’s match against Tsarukyan, and he won’t deny that the former interim UFC Welterweight Champion put in…

GILBERT, Ariz., July 15, 2026 — Nishati Power Technologies (NPT), a leader in tactical hybrid power solutions, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 12,671,257, covering its proprietary hybrid power generation technology. The technology addresses two critical problems for powering operations at the tactical edge: it optimizes rapid and efficient charging of large-format lithium batteries from a low state of charge, and it does so with a single control system, consolidating what traditionally required additional bulky equipment. As Next-Generation Command and Control (NGC2) systems, unmanned platforms, and battery-powered technologies expand, power demand at…

LONDON – As militaries prepare for a new age of air combat defined by ever-evolving unmanned aerial systems, one defense company is betting that the workload of fighter pilots will swell far beyond flying an aircraft to include directing swarms of drones. At Farnborough Airshow this week in London, BAE Systems unveiled a helmet-mounted prototype it says is intended to explore how future pilots may be able to operate under battlefield conditions they anticipate to be saturated with unprecedented amounts of data. Called Project Intuity, the demonstrator is intended to help pilots manage input from multiple sources by projecting information…

When you bring together more than 50 group-level CPOs from a progressive, cross-industry and global cohort of multinational organisations, then add thinkers whose work encompasses national security, innovation, policy, educational reform, and human and AI collaboration, fireworks happen. That’s exactly what we did last week at Procurement Leaders’ CPO retreat, Ovation, which took place in Denmark. It was a fizzing, popping, energising and thought-provoking three days, which led to a huge amount of reflection for all. I have a long list of takeaways but I’ll share just a few for now – some of which follow on from my note last…

LONDON—One month after winning the U.S. Air Force’s drone wingman contract, Anduril announced plans to make an autonomous attack tiltrotor that the company hopes  the U.S. Army will pair with its helicopters for future missions.Nicknamed Thunder, the vertical-takeoff-and-landing rotorcraft is to be autonomous, heavily armed, hybrid-electric powered, and roughly group five-sized. It’s being designed to “be packed into a standard shipping container” for easy transport, Anduril said in a press release. It is being developed with Archer Aviation, another California-based firm, with first flight envisioned for next year.Company officials say multiple uncrewed tiltrotors could accompany each crewed helicopter on a…
