Ukraine’s drone autonomy target exposes a difficult fleet-scaling engineering problem. SPARC AI argues resilient GPS-denied positioning must move beyond specialised hardware installed separately across every attritable airframe.
EdgeRunner and Army researchers have developed a military-specific language model. EdgeRunner-Camo uses historical CamoGPT data and is intended for deployment on local tactical hardware as well as garrison systems.
Parsons joins a $350 million Navy seabed-to-space ISR contract vehicle. The programme spans development, deployment, sustainment, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, satellites, and tactical communications across multiple domains.
Ukraine now fields more than seventy AI-enabled defence systems operationally. The programme links computer vision, GPS-denied navigation, targeting, and large battlefield datasets to a rapidly expanding domestic drone sector.
Raft has secured a five-year Army data and AI contract. The $99 million IDIQ creates an enterprise procurement route for software platforms, data integrations, secure compute infrastructure, and support across Army organisations.
Indra has demonstrated explainable AI for complex military decision-making tasks. FaRADAI trials covered scene interpretation, threat assessment, sensor resilience, and dynamic route generation while retaining human oversight of critical decisions.
North will modernise surveillance systems across Portsmouth Naval Base estate. The programme covers secure video, analytics, networking, cameras, and a new control centre while maintaining continuous security operations throughout installation.
Terma will integrate Denmark’s national counter-drone sensor and command network. Helion and FACE will combine distributed data into a shared operational picture spanning military, civilian, and critical-infrastructure sites.
Kratos has demonstrated Valkyrie beyond-line-of-sight control during electronic warfare testing. The US Marine Corps flight linked the uncrewed aircraft with F-35s and an F/A-18 while testing an open command-and-control architecture.
MOSA expands modular reuse across increasingly software-defined defence platforms worldwide. Joseph M. Saunders, Founder and CEO of RunSafe Security, examines why SBOM visibility, verification, and common security standards must underpin trusted open architectures.
