The difference between artificial intelligence and machine learning and why it matters
A Breaking Defense webinar with experts from CDAO, APL, and CNAS gets into the question of defining artificial intelligence vs machine learning.
Why ground robotics are now critical in modern combat
Autonomy in the pursuit of interoperability is today’s path for ground robotics.

The uncrewed revolution: MQ-9B and Gambit Series forge a path to regional air dominance
The MQ-9B and Gambit Series represent parallel capabilities that address global challenges for security head-on.
The state of European security is about procurement, interoperability, and air and missile defense
Responding to threats to European and NATO security, nations are buying fifth-generation fighters and standoff weapons.
No service can fight on its own: JADC2 demands move from self-sufficiency to interdependency
Making all-domain operations a warfighting capability means integrating, fusing, and disseminating a sensor picture appropriate for a particular theater segment, not all of them, says the Mitchell Institute’s David Deptula.
3-to-5 years from now is the danger time when the US could face both China and Russia
RUSI’s Justin Bronk has an idea of what Europe should be doing to help the US in the Indo-Pacific, and it doesn’t include sending the Charles De Gaulle.
Army network plan will offset contested comms with multi-path transport-agnostic capabilities
“You have to be able to operate with challenges to comms at times, whether it's jamming, lack of available fiber, geography impacting your line of sight, or host-nation spectrum restrictions.”

Breaking the Pentagon’s new bottleneck of time
As threats evolve, the winning model ties digital engineering to manufacturing capacity and a reindustrialized supply chain.
DARPA’s explorations in quantum computing search for the art of the possible in the realm of the improbable
Physicists say it is a flip of the coin whether quantum computing will end up a revolutionary capability or not much better than today’s supercomputers. And yet, quantum’s potential means there’s too much promise there to ignore.
For UAS to operate in contested airspace, autonomy is key
UAVs capable of operating independently from human control will still, however, require the ability to talk to each other within a swarm while being jammed.
Here’s how the soldiers assigned to shoot down ballistic missiles from North Korea stay sharp
The 100th Missile Defense Brigade and the 49th Missile Defense Battalion at Fort Greely train on and operate the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system for exoatmospheric intercepts against ballistic missiles.
DARPA is playing both sides of the ball with both offensive and defensive hypersonics
HAWC and Glide Breaker are DARPA’s offensive and defensive hypersonic programs, respectively, and their program managers discuss what’s been done and what’s next.

Innovations and open systems pace FVL and the current fleet
Innovative integration approaches and open systems architecture can bring revolutionary improvements to the performance of FLRAA and FARA, as well as the current fleet.
Sentinel and Raider: Where these two legs of the nuclear triad stand today
The new ICBM and B-21 bomber will be a “stabilizing force” for strategic deterrence that is born digital to meet evolving threats.
Last year, CSBA said the Army could afford both FVL variants. What’s changed since then?
The question of whether the Defense Department or the primes should own all the data rights to various elements of the FVL program is a simplistic, false choice, says a CSBA senior fellow.
The danger of FVL incorporating too much IP and hindering spiral improvements
If the Army heeds industry's emphasis on protecting intellectual property than a dependence on proprietary technology will hamstring FVL’s ability to address evolving threats.
