As Pentagon leaders launch their latest effort to accelerate the development and deployment of autonomous and robotic systems, they can draw on key lessons from past attempts and recent breakthroughs.The planned Autonomous Warfare Command, slated to launch by next October, will promote “not a particular drone, but the ability to adapt in combat” against “realistic opposition,” according to a Sept. 30 memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who added: “We do not have a decade to transition our procurement and doctrine.”That’s because on today’s battlefields, effective adaptation to “realistic opposition” is something that happens in weeks, not the months and…

On 06 October, Pakistan test-fired an extended-range version of the Fatah-4 ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) called the Fatah-4-ER. Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the armed forces’ press wing, stated that the GLCM “is capable of engaging targets at extended ranges with high precision and lethality,” adding that the missile test “validated additional technical parameters of various sub-systems incorporated for improved accuracy and enhanced survivability.” ISPR did not disclose the range, dimensions, weight, or warhead mass of the Fatah-4-ER. That said, the launch footage shows a larger missile with folding wings mounted outside of the fuselage, which suggests a design meant…

WASHINGTON — For the first time, the 27 member states of the European Union (EU) officially have given approval for a collective response — via political, economic or even military means — to threats against any one nation’s satellites and related terrestrial infrastructure, under a recent decision by the group’s ruling Council of Ministers. The key tenet of the multifaceted Sept. 23 Council Decision 2026/2195 is a green light for joint action, according to several US and European analysts. “This framework aims to do the same thing as the recent US disclosure of on-orbit space control weapons: deterring space threats,”…

Jimmy Carter’s Secretary of Defense, Harold Brown, once remarked the world was full of people who wanted to become Secretary of the Navy. Few senior-level jobs in the federal government have as much glamor as the SECNAV does, so it is not surprising that the job often goes to well-connected politicians or donors. As successful as those people may be outside the Pentagon, few are actually suited to survive in the job, with former Secretary John Phelan the most recent example.  So, what makes a good SECNAV? Using historical examples, here is a checklist for the ideal candidate for Secretary…

If there’s one request of electronic warfare (EW), it’s that it can be disruptive from farther distances yet still compact for small airborne platforms, drones, and mass munitions at the aerial layer that are presently dominating ground conflicts around the world. To bring greater offensive EW capability to the aerial layer, BAE Systems has introduced its small-form-factor software defined radio (SDR) family of products. Shadow EW brings greater offensive capability to modern and legacy aerial systems. Breaking Defense spoke with Dan Mooney, director of business development, and Rebecca Cruz, director, Shadow EW products, at BAE Systems, about how Shadow EW…
