The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons represents a refusal to live forever under this nuclear shadow. It reflects a belief that the status quo represents a grave inequity, in which nuclear costs are imposed upon all, while the benefits of nuclear arms accrue to the few states privileged to possess them.
The Army is planning for a shoot-off to search for a long-range precision munition to give its future aviation fleet stand-off from enemy assets.

Dr. Ramoni was previously on the faculty at New York University College of Dentistry in the department of epidemiology and health promotion, and at Harvard Medical School in the department of biomedical informatics.
While at Harvard, Dr. Ramoni founded and led the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) Coordinating Center, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health, and brings together clinical and research experts from across the U.S. to solve challenging medical mysteries using advanced technologies.
Among Dr. Ramoniâs research interests are informatics, genomics, and precision medicine. Prior to her role with the UDN, she was executive director of the Substitutable Medical Applications, Reusable Technologies project, or SMART. Initially launched with federal funding, SMART aims to make it easier for providers across different health systems to securely share information from electronic health records. The overarching goal is to improve the quality and continuity of care for patients.
The question really is not if, but when and where drone swarms, which is the next evolution of robotic warfare, will be utilised in real-time operations.
âEspecially during times of tension, verifiable limits on Russiaâs intercontinental-range nuclear weapons are vitally important,â Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
Beyond AI-powered weapons, the panelâs lengthy report recommended use of AI by intelligence agencies to streamline data gathering and review; $32 billion in annual federal funding for AI research; and new bodies including a digital corps modeled after the armyâs Medical Corps and a technology competitiveness council chaired by the U.S. vice president.
The United States should not agree to ban the use or development of autonomous weapons powered by artificial intelligence (AI) software, a government-appointed panel said in a draft report for Congress.
If the U.S. and China ever come to blows, this vessel will play a big part in the battle.
The U.S. Marine Corps is taking a completely new tack to providing fire support during amphibious landings: unmanned boats stocked full of suicide drones.
The shipbuilder Metal Shark has announced itâs building a new type of unmanned surface vessel, which the Marines plan to equip with loitering munitions. Such a boat would act as a mobile fire support platform, servicing calls for fire with salvos of drones equipped with explosive charges.
âDonât knock it until you try itâ should be for tasting new foods, not building robots capable of ending human life.
Defiant X can fly twice as far and fast as the greatest helo ever.
The Lockheed Martin-owned Sikorsky and Boeing have rolled out the final specs of their new helicopter, one of two candidates that will replace the U.S. Armyâs iconic UH-60 Black Hawk. The Defiant X isnât just meant to replace the Black Hawk, but also fly up to twice as fast and twice as far, giving Army air assault forces an unparalleled battlefield mobility.
