The cybersecurity plan for what to do when adversaries breach the network
Cybersecurity leaders from the DoD CIO, USINDOPACOM, and APL discuss how they’re addressing the challenge in a Breaking Defense webinar.
How tactical units are filling their need for ISR and first–person view unmanned systems
The Defense Innovation Unit will now conduct an annual competition for sUAS and quadcopters to either stay on the Blue List or be added to it, Blue UAS Project Lead Trent Emeneker told Breaking Defense.

Europe’s military advantage depends on sovereign command of the ground truth
As NATO and European governments accelerate investment in space-based intelligence, decision advantage will depend on how quickly sovereign and commercial capabilities can be fused into a trusted operational picture.
Beyond-line-of-sight comms for multi domain operations
Satellite constellations in proliferated LEO and a new emphasis on mature capabilities like troposcatter is creating network resilience.

Enterprise training is key for the Army to train as it fights
The Army’s next training systems contract, called Warfighter Training Readiness Solution, adds enterprise training for multi-domain operations.
How the Army is driving enterprise training across five warfighting domains and three dimensions
An enterprise change in some corps-level training moves higher control (HICON) from Fort Leavenworth to the service component command.
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.

Automation vs autonomy: What will shape the future of battlefield drones?
While humans must stay in the loop for kinetic decisions, empowering drones to operate autonomously is a force multiplier.
Why ground robotics are now critical in modern combat
Autonomy in the pursuit of interoperability is today’s path for ground robotics.
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.

Empower defense teams to scale AI securely
AI is expanding the mission data footprint across defense environments, increasing the need for scalable, layered data-at-rest (DAR) protection.
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.”
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.
