The future of UAS isn’t defined by features; it’s defined by how they enable real‑world operations. Hosted by the Canadian Armed Forces, Exercise RED COBALT offered the Canadian military an opportunity to collaborate with industry manufacturers to witness operational applications of drone technologies. The Redwire team was honored to participate, showcasing our combat proven Stalker UAS alongside our new Canadian‑developed First-Person View (FPV) relay system. The Stalker impressed the Senior Canadian defense leadership in attendance, demonstrating the ability to significantly extend the missions of Group 1/Small UAS and FPV systems, enhancing operational reach and effectiveness. We are committed to supporting the evolving needs of the Canadian Armed Forces and continue to build the advanced solutions that strengthen allied defense capabilities worldwide. #CombatProven# #UAS# #FPV# #DefenseTechnology# #MadeForTheMission#

AI-native robots are the key to enabling onshore production of America's critical supply chains and defense technology. We cannot rely on foreign-supplied automation tools to build up our defense industrial base — putting American tools in American factories is a national security issue. This week, Standard Bots led the Robotics Corner at @DIBConsortium (DIBX), the inaugural Defense Industrial Base Accelerator. As America's largest manufacturer of AI-native industrial robots, we're proud to bring the essential power tool of the 21st century to those who make America.

Torsten Reil (@torstenreil) is the founder of Helsing, Europe’s most valuable defense-tech startup. Previously, he was a computational biologist who taught neural networks to make virtual creatures walk, turned that into a gaming company he sold for $527 million, and then, at the moment defense was the least fashionable thing a European technologist could touch, founded the Al company that would help Europe defend itself. In March 2021, with no product and a pitch deck that predicted a Russian invasion of Ukraine, he and two co-founders raised $8.5 million. Four months later, Daniel Ek invested $100 million of his own money. Eleven months after the deck, Russia invaded Ukraine. Five years later, Helsing is Europe's most valuable defense-tech startup. Helsing is building thousands of strike drones, teaching Al to fly fighter jets, and seeding the deep sea with autonomous gliders capable of subsurface surveillance. Torsten is on a lifelong mission to build Artificial Intelligence that protects democracies.

$SPCX - SPACEX IN TALKS WITH PENTAGON SpaceX is reportedly negotiating with the U.S. Defense Department to provide billions of dollars in data-center capacity for AI workloads. The deal would support the Pentagon’s expanding artificial intelligence efforts and deepen SpaceX’s role in U.S. defense technology.

This is the NUDT mosquito drone, a spy UAV built by China's National University of Defense Technology for covert surveillance you can't see coming. Under 0.3 grams. Wings that flap 500 times a second. Sensors built for covert surveillance, all packed into a body you'd swat without thinking.

🚨🇨🇳 AMERICA’S WORST NIGHTMARE: CHINA REVEALS 100-GW MICROWAVE WEAPON THAT COULD FRY U.S. SATELLITES In a rare technical disclosure, researchers from China’s National University of Defense Technology published peer-reviewed details on high-power microwave weapons, including a 100-gigawatt pulsed-power system built by synchronizing multiple modules — technology explicitly framed as a leap in electronic warfare with direct implications for satellite constellations in low Earth orbit. 🔸 China has shifted high-power microwave weapons from lab prototypes to practical military use with accelerated pulsed-power advances. 🔸 The 100 GW-class system synchronizes multiple compact pulsed-power modules to bypass single-unit limits in insulation, size and power-to-weight ratios. 🔸 Even 1 GW pulses can inflict severe interference or permanent damage on LEO satellite electronics, raising direct risks for large military-support constellations. 🔸 Some gigawatt-class systems have reportedly already moved to operational users as China emphasizes durable, field-ready designs over pure laboratory performance. 🔸 China attributes its edge to unmatched industrial scale, R&D breadth and rare-earth supply chains — factors it claims leave competitors structurally behind. Is America too dependent on satellites to win a war against China?

.@CNBC highlighted Project Ranger, our 1,000-acre hypersonic manufacturing campus in New Mexico, as an example of a strong public-private partnership. Together, we are building the next generation of defense technology and infrastructure.

Russia opened a military-themed attraction called Patriot Park, where visitors, including children, can ride in tanks, fire weapons at shooting ranges, and buy or sell military equipment and memorabilia. Russia created Patriot Park to showcase its armed forces, military history, and defense technology. The site features museums, historical exhibits, armored vehicles, aircraft, and hands-on attractions. Visitors can explore military hardware, ride in certain military vehicles, participate in supervised shooting activities, and watch military demonstrations and exhibitions. Because it combines military displays with interactive attractions, Patriot Park has often been described as a “Military Disneyland.” Supporters see it as a way to preserve military history and honor those who served, while critics argue that presenting military equipment in an amusement-park-like setting, particularly to children, can blur the line between education and the glorification of war. As a result, the park has become a widely discussed example of how nations choose to present their military heritage.
