Lockheed Martin demos scalable UAS countermeasure

We’ve reached a new milestone with the Kaonic platform: 128 stable hops over Reticulum. This milestone demonstrates how Kaonic’s architecture and Reticulum’s routing can scale to support deep, resilient mesh networks. Sustaining 128 hops proves the robustness of the system across complex topologies, and shows the capacity to support next-generation mission-critical applications. This capability directly supports: 📱 ATAK & tactical edge operators – extending situational awareness across the mission field ✈️ UAS / ISR platforms – enabling autonomous systems to push deeper into contested airspace 🔧 OEM integrators – embedding robust, off-grid mesh comms into next-gen platforms This milestone highlights just one aspect of what Kaonic can do — explore the platform’s capabilities and see how it’s shaping resilient communications for demanding environments: https://lnkd.in/ecjuRT9S

Lockheed Martin Introduces #Sanctum AI Fusion System at AUSA 2025 An open-architecture platform for layered drone defense, it uses AI to integrate sensors and effectors for real-time threat response and mission command. Three technical points are worth noting for a defense readership: - First, the open architecture allows progressive integration with existing C2 systems, removing dependence on a single supplier and easing upgrades. - Second, RF and EO data fusion raises the probability of correct identification against small drones that often present minimal signatures. - Third, real time model updates adjust detection thresholds and tracking filters as operators collect experience, which is relevant when tactics and airframes change quickly. #RFEOdatafusion https://lnkd.in/dy4-rRz8

We've just released TTRM1118-D01, a compact SISO Bi-Directional Amplifier engineered for applications operating from 300 - 400 MHz. Whether you’re using the UHF band for voice and data communications or C2 links for unmanned systems, Triad can help improve overall system performance. Built on GaN Class AB architecture, the unit delivers up to +39 dBm (8 W) of saturated RF output power while maintaining high efficiency, linearity, and signal fidelity across any waveform or modulation type. Designed for integration into unmanned platforms, vehicle systems, aircraft, and fixed-site infrastructure, the TTRM1118-D01 provides automatic Tx/Rx switching, temperature monitoring, and over-temperature protection, all in a low-SWaP, conduction-cooled package.

Collaboration is shaping the future of maritime defence. Optics11, Zero USV, and Sonartech are proving how autonomy, sensing, and advanced data analytics can combine to deliver persistent, scalable, and sovereign undersea surveillance. This is exactly the kind of capability NATO nations are prioritizing. At First Resonance, we help innovators like these accelerate from prototype to full operational deployment with ION Factory OS, providing the manufacturing agility, traceability, and scalability that next-generation defence programs demand. The pace of innovation at sea is accelerating and those who master speed and collaboration will define the next generation of maritime capability.

Sometimes, what you don’t see matters most. When visibility is limited or temperature changes tell a deeper story, DJI Matrice 4T reveals what others miss. In this simple test, hot water vs. cold, the difference is crystal clear, proving how thermal imaging helps inspectors and responders detect issues before they escalate. The result? Sharper insights, faster responses, and smarter thermal operations. #DJIEnterprise #Matrice4T #ThermalDrone #DroneInspection

🤔 What makes A.IKANBILIS the ideal AUV for underwater threat detection? ✈️ Our team recently traveled abroad to conduct a live unexploded ordnance (UXO) inspection demo, combining ELWAVE's cutting-edge electrical sensing technology with our Hovering AUV’s intelligence, precision, and maneuverability. Together, we demonstrated how A.IKANBILIS can deliver accurate and efficient UXO detection in real-world conditions. Here’s how it worked: ⚡️ ELWAVE's electrical sensor integration: Combined with our advanced positional accuracy, our AUV seamlessly detected metallic UXOs through interpreting disturbances in electric field produced by metallic objects.   🗺️ Georeferenced sonar imaging: Our HAUV mapped the seabed through a lawnmower-like flight pattern (See video below), ensuring complete coverage with zero blind spots. 📷 Clear visuals: AI-enhanced camera views allowed operators to clearly confirm underwater findings, even in turbid water. 💥 Autonomous intelligence: Real-time anomaly detection enabled faster and more confident operator decisions. Evaluators highlighted A.IKANBILIS’ remarkable stability, even in waters as shallow as 1 meter, allowing smooth data collection where others falter.   To Team ELWAVE, thank you for trusting us for this project. We’re proud to have showcased that detections with A.IKANBILIS are methodical, rigorous, and reliable for accurate UXO searches.  #AUVs #Defense #UXODetection #Innovation #Partnerships

For decades, controllers and flight crews relied on a mosaic of primary radar returns, secondary interrogations, voice reports and procedural estimates to understand where an aircraft actually was. The margin of uncertainty built into that system dictated the large separation standards that underpin conventional air traffic management. Once aircraft began routinely broadcasting their own precise position and velocity—initially with ADS-B Out and now with complementary satellite-based augmentation—the operating picture changed dramatically. The core gain is immediacy. A 1090-MHz squitter updated every second tells the controller and every cockpit within range exactly where the aircraft is in four dimensions. Horizontal and vertical velocities arrive in the same message, letting automation systems project trajectories far more accurately than before. With that fidelity, controllers can authoritatively clear two suitably equipped aircraft to fly closer parallel routes or accept reduced longitudinal spacing on the same airway while still meeting safety targets. Coverage improves as well. Remote regions that once depended on distant secondary radar sites now receive real-time feeds from space-based receivers listening to the same broadcasts. Oceanic corridors that previously required 30–50 NM lateral and 30-plus NM longitudinal separations have successfully trialed 15–23 NM minima. This compression translates directly into more available tracks, greater flexibility for optimum flight levels, and measurable fuel and CO₂ savings. Pilots experience the benefit through cockpit display of traffic information. Seeing targets with the same accuracy that ATC enjoys helps crews maintain visual acquisition during mixed VFR/IFR operations and provides early warning of potential conflicts in non-radar airspace. Collaborative tools such as interval management further exploit the shared data, enabling one aircraft to self-manage spacing behind a lead with autopilot assistance. The safety case remains paramount. Integrity monitors, redundant sensors and strict performance requirements (e.g., DO-260C) ensure that any erroneous broadcast is detected and excluded before it can influence separation decisions. Regulatory bodies worldwide now view broadcast position and velocity as the cornerstone of future trajectory-based operations, paving the way for even tighter, smarter skies. #milestonesinhistory #aviationhistory #airtraffictransformation #flightprecision #reducedseparation #realtimecoverage #safetyskies #autopilotassistance
