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 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.

The Pentagon has paused CMMC’s second-stage third-party certification requirements temporarily. Existing safeguarding, self-assessment, reporting, and controlled-information duties remain firmly in force.

Lockheed Martin UK has secured Britain’s highest defence cyber certification. The milestone places factory systems, engineering data, governance, and supplier assurance under closer scrutiny.

Allied agencies warn Russian operators are targeting defence network edges. The campaign places asset visibility, router configuration, supplier access, unsupported hardware, and production continuity inside the same industrial-security problem.

Pentagon post-quantum deadlines now reach deep into defence manufacturing systems. Long-life platforms, embedded hardware, factories, and supplier networks must migrate years before final deadlines.

Europe’s proposed Space Act moves cybersecurity into satellite production cycles. Manufacturers and operators would face pre-launch testing, faster reporting, and stricter lifecycle assurance.

NATO’s protected cloud programme moves cyber into defence production infrastructure. Accenture and Leonardo will support classified services for Alliance users.
