The Space Force needs to better define its policies regarding conflict in space and better rehearse for various scenarios, a new research paper argues.The paper flowed from a January workshop held by the Mitchell Institute. About 50 space experts envisioned various new ways that satellites and spacecraft might be used in gray-zone or even wartime conflicts. These included Russian cyber-attacks in Europe, jamming of U.S. satellites, the mysterious destruction of Cape Canaveral’s bridges, the “repositioning of a recently inoperable European commercial satellite without prior coordination,” the deactivation of Midwestern power grids—even an unattributed “nuclear detonation” in low earth orbit.But determining…

The Canada over-the-horizon radar program has taken a major step forward with Ottawa’s decision to acquire advanced Australian radar technology to strengthen Arctic surveillance and support the modernization of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).The acquisition reflects growing concerns about security challenges in the Arctic and the need for earlier detection of airborne and maritime threats approaching North America.As geopolitical competition expands into the polar region, Canada and its allies are investing heavily in advanced sensing systems capable of monitoring vast areas that are difficult to cover using conventional radar networks.

Veteran issues in the United States often figure prominently in policy debates and media coverage surrounding psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin mushrooms and ibogaine. This is partially driven by the need to improve access and efficacy of treatments for mental health conditions, especially conditions (such as posttraumatic stress disorder) that are more common among veterans than nonveterans. In this report, the authors present new data from the 2025 RAND Psychedelics Survey. The report focuses on the use of specific psychedelic substances and policy preferences among U.S. veterans and compares them with nonveterans. The report also includes data on veterans’ willingness…

Credit: Rotron AerospaceDefense Feeds, London – The UK ground-launched strike weapon program is emerging as one of Europe’s most ambitious efforts to provide Ukraine with an indigenous long-range precision strike capability.According to reports, British industry is developing a new ground-launched weapon capable of reaching targets at distances of up to 500 kilometers while deliberately avoiding the use of U.S.-origin components that could trigger export restrictions or approval requirements.The initiative reflects a growing trend among European nations seeking greater autonomy in defense production while continuing to support Ukraine’s long-term military requirements. It also highlights the increasing importance of deep-strike capabilities in…

Bottom lines up front WASHINGTON—Alan Greenspan presided over one of the longest stretches of near-optimal economic performance in modern US history as chair of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006. He also was at the helm during economic turmoil, including the dot-com tech bubble in the late 1990s and early 2000s.  Greenspan—who died Monday at the age of one hundred—leaves a legacy of both positive and negative lessons, and the current Federal Reserve leadership, under newly installed Chair Kevin Warsh, should take both on board. One notable danger now, as it was during Greenspan’s time, is getting the economy…
