Team Lionstrike – GM Defence, BAE Systems and NP Aerospace – have added a new truck to its British Army Light Mobility Vehicle offering.

Growing concerns about artificial intelligence-driven cyber attacks are driving new debates around how quickly organizations should patch software vulnerabilities, including whether federal agencies should be required to meet patch deadlines in days rather than weeks. Cyber experts say faster patching will be needed in many cases, especially considering recent advancements in AI. But many also say shortening deadlines is unlikely, by itself, to drive speedier remediation and could have the reverse effect in some cases. In response to Anthropic’s Claude Mythos preview, Trump administration leaders have reportedly considered cutting the standard deadline for agencies to patch Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures…

Quantum Space is building its first satellite, but the Maryland-based company is already planning its first large manufacturing facility in Tulsa. Why there? Location and propulsion testing. The state government is “building a hypergolic test stand in Oklahoma that will be owned and operated by Agile Space Industries—that’s for in-space propulsion. And of course, those are the thrusters that we’re going to use on Ranger and they’re going to be tested there at the hypergolic test facility,” Quantum Space CEO Jim Bridenstine told Defense One. “Because if you’re going to sustain maneuver, you’ve got to have high energy thrust to get out…

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday pressed for increased funding for the Secret Service, arguing most of the money Senate Republicans included for the agency in their immigration enforcement bill is for security needs, not building a new ballroom at the White House.The Louisiana Republican added during a morning press conference he didn’t want to “prejudge” the $72 billion package before the Senate approves a final version this month and sends it to the House.“I don’t have the pen in the Senate. They’re writing the bill,” he said. “We’ll see what we get.”Johnson noted there are several more steps the…

It’s been nearly three years since Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 was released on November 7, 2023. Though the game initially launched with a roster made up of 25 characters, four more — Mr. Krabs, Zuko, Iroh and Rocksteady — would later be added as DLC. Of course, Iroh had a lot of anticipation behind his release considering his popularity among the general Avatar: The Last Airbender fanbase. However, when he actually released into Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, he…

The Defense Procurement Directorate (DPD) of the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) has signed a contract with Cyclone, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems, for the development of an extended-range capability for the F-35 “Adir” fighter jet, manufactured by Lockheed Martin. The deal, valued at over $34 million (over NIS 100 million), covers the development and integration of external fuel tanks based on an existing Cyclone design originally developed for the F-16.  The new capability is expected to extend the aircraft’s operational range, reduce reliance on aerial refueling, and enhance operational flexibility across long-range missions. This contract is part…

California has some of the most aggressive policies in the United States for electrifying power in an equitable manner. Decommissioning gas infrastructure with electrification has the potential to, depending on the fuel mix, reduce greenhouse gases in line with state policies. Unfortunately, if not carefully planned, decommissioning gas infrastructure with electrification as a replacement has the potential to increase both electricity and gas rates, which in turn may have a disproportionate impact on low-income customers. In Southern California, decommissioning is particularly complex due to separate gas and electricity utilities, owned both by investors and municipalities. Within this context, the project…
