“One of the key things about Falcon Peak is it offers not just the opportunity to look at the technology that's being tested, but also at our processes," a senior DoD official told reporters.
Most cases are probably just hobbyists flying too close, according to Gen. Gregory Guillot, who said he has not seen evidence of a concerted campaign by an adversary to fly small drones over US bases.
Blending superior optics, advanced stabilization and AI-powered autonomy in a compact and rugged system, ASELFLIR 600 delivers unmatched intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
Though details are scarce, SAIC executive Vinnie DiFronzo said the work will likely include helping the organizations move to the cloud and bolster their cyber infrastructure.
"The world can’t and shouldn't accept that somebody would place a nuclear weapon in orbit," Gen. Stephen Whiting said.
Gen. Gregory Guillot told the annual SMD Symposium that he also believes the US military needs to increase its effort to field directed-energy weapons to counter not only uncrewed aircraft systems but also cruise and hypersonic missiles.
The new defence policy paper does not offer a timeline for the country to meet the 2 percent GDP target but it argues a move to double military spending between 2016-2017 to 2026-2027 is “on track.”
Consolidate network monitoring, performance management, and fault isolation into a single, comprehensive solution.
China is conducting regional maritime activities "under the cloud of a technical or scientific research, but we think it's certainly multi-mission to include military" operations, Gen. Gregory Guillot, head of NORTHCOM/NORAD said.
"The best missile strategy is to destroy the missiles prior to launch. A focus on missile defeat could enable distributed non-kinetic systems with larger magazines and the ability to engage missiles before they can deploy complex decoys, countermeasures, maneuvers or multiple reentry vehicles," said Rear Adm. Sean Regan, NORTHCOM's director of operations.
Russia since this spring has been using both newly minted cruise missiles and even hypersonic missiles in its war to annex Ukraine.
“Until I get to a good identity management system that’s coupled in with a good zero trust capability that allows me to start to get to network-agnostic data flows, our ability to integrate both across services and with partners is going to continue to be challenged,” Air Force Brig. Gen. Luke Cropsey, integrating program executive officer command, control, communications and battle management, said.
Cybersecurity skills must evolve in near-real time as Zero Day threats continue and AI provides new challenges.
"I think the future of homeland defense looks vastly different than it does today," NORTHCOM/NORAD Commander Gen. Glen VanHerck said Thursday.
After what Gen. Glen VanHerck called a "totally deceiving and incorrect" SPACECOM statement, there was widespread confusion about who is charged with the missile defense mission.
By bringing the three mission areas of missile warning, missile defense and space domain awareness under one command as the Global Sensor Manager, USSPACECOM can more effectively integrate and fuse the sensor data for rapid detection, characterization, tracking and dissemination to ensure theaters can defeat any threat,” said Gen. Jim Dickinson, SPACECOM commander.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on March 5 sent a letter to Congress endorsing a plan for sharing the disputed 3.1-3.45 spectrum band — but also opening the possibility that DoD could vacate it entirely, according to the Congressional Research Service.
