  • Cyber Shield puts the power grid inside defence readiness

    Cyber Shield puts the power grid inside defence readiness

    Cyber Shield places power-sector operational technology inside defence readiness planning. The exercise links factory resilience to physical process safety, utility continuity, and industrial recovery.

  • Kimsuky attack turns trusted groupware into a supply-chain weakness

    Kimsuky attack turns trusted groupware into a supply-chain weakness

    Kimsuky turned trusted groupware suppliers into routes towards customer networks. The campaign exposes how software support, development systems, and vendor access can extend a defence manufacturer’s attack surface.

  • Singapore puts quantum computing against a defence planning problem

    Singapore puts quantum computing against a defence planning problem

    Singapore is testing quantum computing against practical military planning problems. The programme will compare emerging methods with established optimisation tools while building national engineering expertise.

  • SitaWare turns Australia’s command network into a rolling software programme

    SitaWare turns Australia’s command network into a rolling software programme

    Australia has selected SitaWare Headquarters for LAND 4140’s first tranche. Integration, cyber assurance, and continuous software modernisation will shape the programme’s industrial workload.

  • PLA procurement bans shake China’s military cyber supply chain

    PLA procurement bans shake China’s military cyber supply chain

    China’s military procurement crackdown is reshaping its cyber supply chain. Supplier bans are forcing the PLA to confront licence continuity, software support, replacement hardware, and the cost of migrating embedded security systems.

  • India takes quantum-secured military networks into the field

    India takes quantum-secured military networks into the field

    India has moved quantum-secured military communications successfully into field trials. The programme now faces the harder work of ruggedising photonics, standardising interfaces, and producing equipment in dependable military quantities.

  • ESA carries trusted test data from factory to orbit

    ESA carries trusted test data from factory to orbit

    Keysight will lead Europe’s blockchain-enabled non-terrestrial network assurance programme research. The project will connect manufacturing and calibration records with operational telemetry, anomaly detection, secure data exchange, and an eventual in-orbit demonstration.

  • Voyager puts agentic AI into spectrum operations

    Voyager puts agentic AI into spectrum operations

    Voyager will develop agentic AI for military spectrum operations planning. The year-long programme will focus on explainable behaviour, human control, modular integration, secure data, software assurance, and repeatable testing across multiple domains.

  • QinetiQ makes the threat spectrum repeatable

    QinetiQ makes the threat spectrum repeatable

    QinetiQ has added a mobile threat emitter to UK ranges. The system will provide repeatable radar and electromagnetic environments for aircraft, ships, sensors, electronic-warfare equipment, mission software, and operator training.

  • South Korea loads Global 6500 with stand-off jamming

    South Korea loads Global 6500 with stand-off jamming

    South Korea has selected two Global 6500 aircraft for jamming. Their conversion will require extensive structural, electronic, thermal, software, certification, and support work across a developing domestic special-mission supply chain.
