The U.S. Navy tested artificial intelligence-powered sonar to target submarines during the multinational Rim of the Pacific exercise in July.SensorMAX, developed by Lockheed Martin, uses AI and machine learning to analyze acoustic sensor data, update the sensor model — and then immediately transmit the updates over the air to anti-submarine warfare, or ASW, platforms. During RIMPAC maneuvers near Hawaii, Navy MH-60R helicopters dropped sonobuoys, which fed data to SensorMAX. It in turn assisted the crews with target identification. “Ground operators retrained SensorMAX’s models on new sounds in minutes, then transmitted AI-enhanced undersea intelligence OTA [over the air] using an encrypted data link directly back to the helicopter and the fleet,” according to a Lockheed Martin news release.Lockheed described the system as the “Navy’s AI portable sonar expert.” “Taking in subsurface acoustic data from a network of sensors, SensorMAX provides a continuous data stream to the aircrew and sends information to the ground station,” the company continued. “When a new target is identified, system operators label the identified noise signature, retrain the model on the new data and push a small update packet back to the aircrew.”Lockheed Martin’s SuperMAX demonstrated during Pacific Rim 2026.

This overview of the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F paired with the Aimpoint COA is focused as a possible law enforcement duty pistol. Because if you’re carrying a pistol for the job, the question isn’t “Should I run a dot?” anymore. The real questions when looking at a duty pistol with a red dot are: Which dot? How is it mounted? Will it hold up? Is it reliable to the point I am betting my life on this piece of equipment? The Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F paired with the Aimpoint COA arrives as a complete duty package at a $1,119 MSRP. The Echelon 4.5F COA pistol offers a great package of a high-quality, mounted optic and a stury duty-grade pistol — and all at an MSRP of $1,119. Consider the MSRP of a 4.5F Echelon is $710 and the Aimpoint COA is priced at $617, that represents a notable amount of savings. At War HOGG Tactical, in 2020, I built Project Officer Survival to give law enforcement officers access to free red dot pistoltraining through the support of our trusted industry partners. To date we’ve trained over 700 officers, and five officers have told us directly, that the training they received…

The Department of Defense launched a counter-unmanned aerial system, or C-UAS, marketplace last week designed to make it easier for military and government agencies to find and acquire vetted counter-drone technology.The marketplace was developed by the Joint Interagency Task Force 401, or JIATF 401, which leads the Defense Department’s effort to connect government agencies with companies developing counter-drone technology.U.S. Army Maj. Mike Hapner, the C-UAS marketplace lead for JIATF 401, said the marketplace is intended to deliver “the right counter-UAS capabilities to the right users at the right time.”Promotional materials make the marketplace look like a basic e-commerce website, but it is designed to do more than simply catalog products. According to Kaizen Laboratories, which JIATF 401 contracted to build the platform, buyers can browse, filter and search products based on specific tactical needs, evaluate system performance data and submit acquisition requests.Nikhil Reddy, Kaizen’s co-founder and chief executive officer, described the platform as “first-class digital tools that move with the threat environment, not behind it” and “a win for the entire defense ecosystem.”JIATF 401 awarded Kaizen a $15 million contract to build the marketplace in May 2026 through an Other Transaction Agreement, a contracting mechanism often used to accelerate the…

The Marine Corps has inked an $11 million contract with electronic warfare company Epirus for a vehicle-mounted weapon that can take down dozens of drones in a single zap. The contract, awarded through the Office of Naval Research, will result in the delivery early next year of a High-power Microwave Autonomous Vehicle Operational Capability (HAVOC) system that can autonomously identify drone targets to be dropped from the sky with an electromagnetic pulse.The award follows prototype testing of the similar Expeditionary Directed Energy Counter-Swarm (ExDECS) weapon prototype that Epirus delivered to the Corps for testing last year under a $5.5 million contract. Compared with ExDECS, the HAVOC system will have three times the power, improved ruggedness and range and autonomous capabilities intended to simplify decision-making for human operators, the company said.“We’ve tripled the power density nearly in this system. So think of it, from a laser point of view that a lot of people are familiar with, like going from a 50-kilowatt to 150-kilowatt type laser in the same size package. So that directly kind of contributes to lethality, range, these types of things,” Epirus CEO Andy Lowery told Defense News in an interview. “We’ve also very much increased the reliability…

If you thought DiJonai Carrington clotheslining Sophie Cunningham, then posting “White privilege” from the locker room after her ejection, would cause the sports media to acknowledge the actual racism in the WNBA, you thought wrong.To neutral observers, the story on Saturday is hardly difficult to analyze. Carrington committed a dirty, flagrant worthy play that could have seriously injured Cunningham, leaving her bloodied in the mouth from the contact. The officials rightfully ejected Carrington. She responded by accusing league officials of racism, an accusation that, while baseless, is nevertheless serious.And yet, the race ladies of Threads and Bluesky have rushed to Carrington’s defense.It appears the group chat settled on the talking point that Cunningham committed a similar foul last year and became famous for it, thus proving a racial double standard.ZERO BS.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! American politics is an ever-changing game of power and big money. For the modern Democrat Party, that means being challenged and sometimes eclipsed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) – and there is little to nothing the Democrat Party can do about its rise.The United States has had many political parties in its history. They include everything from the Federalists (1789) and the Whig Party (1830) to the Libertarian Party (1971) and the Green Party (2001).The current Democrat Party (1828) is the longest reigning major political party in American History.SOCIALISM’S RISE INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOW THREATENS THE AMERICAN DREAMThe role of the many lesser-known parties in American history has been to chasten the then-dominant parties and/or to champion particular issues – such as the Greenback Party (1874), which fought for paper money in the late 1800s. While that Greenback Party is no more, paper money has replaced gold as the dominant American currency. Of course, the shortcomings of the Whig party resulted in the rise of the Republican Party.Today, the dominance of the Democrat Party is being challenged by the Democrat Socialists of America – a modern version of the…
