The U.S. Marine Corps is looking for a new anti-tank loitering munition to field for the Fleet Marine Force. The service wants the kamikaze drone, called the Organic Precision Fires–Medium, or OPF-M, to have a range of at least around 15 miles and be light enough to be carried by two dismounted Marines. “Marines will employ OPF-M at the tactical level to enable engagement of armored targets beyond the range of direct fire weapons while minimizing collateral damage and exposure to enemy direct and indirect fires during distributed operations,” a Request for White Paper from Marine Corps Systems Command states. The RFW deadline is May 26. Under the requested specifications, the drone would have a loiter time of at least 20 minutes, while the warhead must be powerful enough to destroy armored vehicles or at least achieve a mobility kill. The munition itself should weigh less than 35 pounds, and less than 20 pounds for the ground control station, the request states. The Marine Corps wants the drone to feature automatic target tracking, which enables it to follow a moving target autonomously without human intervention. Nonetheless, OPF-M “shall be a Man in the Loop system,” the RFW specified. Navigational waypoints…
We’ve all seen teams calling the NFL draft prospects they intend to select minutes before the card is turned in to the league. The moment often plays out on television or is shared on social media — but the Arizona Cardinals initially couldn’t connect for their call with Jeremiyah Love Thursday night.It wasn’t a lack of trying; the club dialed the number they had for Love.But, nope, no connection to the intended No. 3 overall draft pick. So the team’s brain trust calmy stepped back, took a breath, considered options and tried something else.NFL DRAFT HAS ‘SPECIAL’ PLAYER IN JEREMIYAH LOVE, GM SAYS And all the while underlings scrambled madly for a correct number.”If you want me to tell you the honest-to-God truth, we had the wrong phone number,” Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort said later.”The phone number that we were given was the wrong one and so that was a little bit of the delay. But we got that straightened out and we called Jeremiyah and got ahold of him. That is what the delay was, technical difficulties.”ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine will contract 25,000 unmanned ground vehicles in the first half of 2026, more than double the 2025 total, as the Defense Ministry moves to shift all frontline logistics off soldiers and onto robots.Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov shared the target after meeting with domestic UGV manufacturers last week, where he also announced that the ministry had already begun signing contracts for 2027 to stabilize long-term manufacturer pipelines.“UGVs perform important logistics and evacuation tasks on the front line,” Fedorov wrote in a Facebook post on April 18. “In March alone, the military carried out more than 9,000 missions using them.”“Our goal — 100% of frontline logistics should be performed by robotic systems,” the minister said.Ukraine’s Defense Ministry has spent over 14 billion hryvnia, or roughly $330 million, to push more than 181,000 drones, UGVs and electronic warfare systems to the front since January through a digital procurement system that allows frontline units to order equipment directly from domestic manufacturers, Fedorov said Thursday.Within days of Fedorov’s announcement, Kyiv codified the Bizon-L — a 300-kilogram-payload logistics robot with a 50-kilometer range — under NATO cataloging standards and cleared it for operational use across Ukraine’s armed forces and those of allies.Ukrainian…
Octopuses’ earliest relatives that lived 100 million years ago may have been “gigantic” predators that hunted alongside the dinosaurs, according to new research.Although scientists previously believed that the earliest finned octopuses lived around 15 million years ago, researchers with Hokkaido University found fossilized jaws found inside late Cretaceous rock samples, according to a study published in the journal “Science” on Thursday.Because octopuses are soft-bodied animals, they don’t fossilize well except for the jaw bones, making their evolutionary history difficult to trace, the researchers explained in a news release.The researchers used high-resolution grinding tomography and an artificial intelligence model to find the fossils, which were located in rock samples that had been preserved in seafloor sediments found in Japan and Vancouver Island from 100 to 72 million years ago.T.REX DIDN’T BECOME AN 8-TON GIANT OVERNIGHT: SCIENTISTS REVEAL HOW LONG THE APEX PREDATOR TOOK TO GROW The Late Cretaceous was the final epoch of the Mesozoic Era, which was dominated by the dinosaurs, including tyrannosaurus rex and triceratops.The fossils belonged to a group of extinct finned octopuses, known as Cirrata, that researchers believed crushed their prey with powerful jaws.ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH CHILLING 16TH-CENTURY GALLOWS WHERE REBELS WERE HANGED AND DISPLAYED”Our findings suggest that the…

Many of us experienced the shock of seeing empty produce bins and store shelves in our local supermarkets this year. The scarcity of certain foods during the pandemic may have led you to explore new ways to preserve and store food.If you seek long-term storage and foods that are light to pack and carry, you can’t beat freeze-drying. In this article, we’ll examine what freeze-drying is, its benefits and drawbacks, and some of the basics you need to know about using this food preservation method at home.Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest!What Is Freeze-Drying?Also known by its scientific names, lyophilization or cryodesiccation, freeze-drying is a dehydration process that involves freezing the food and then lowering pressure before removing the ice by sublimation. Sublimation is the transition of a substance from the solid to the gas state without passing through the liquid state.Freeze drying can remove 98 percent of the water in food while dehydration removes about 80 percent. Since it is water that can cause food to spoil and deteriorate, freeze-dried foods can have a remarkable shelf life of 25 years or more.NASA began sending astronauts into space with freeze-dried foods back…
