The half-life of humanity is currently around 35 years, said Nobel laureate in physics David Gross as he concluded an evening lecture at the German Physical Society's conference in Erlangen in March.

The outage left millions of Starlink customers in the dark back in August of 2025, dealing a blow to the company's image as an always-on satellite internet provider.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll stated that the interceptor drones are 'incredible' and currently cost about $15,000 each, with expectations to reduce costs to below $10,000 as production scales.

The German military also uses this airborne communications hub, which allows command staff and soldiers deployed abroad to communicate across continents. The information they share is classified, strictly confidential.

Giulio Douhet proposed a revolution in warfare, stating that victory would come from large-scale aerial bombardments targeting civilians and infrastructure rather than just combatants.

"To accelerate current weapons development timelines, DARPA is considering an alternative development paradigm to increase the nation's magazine depth and breadth."

CMCs are a composite material, one in which the fibers are ceramic or carbon, embedded in a ceramic matrix. They are created to overcome the brittleness of traditional ceramics, while providing high-temperature resistance, light weight, and high strength. According to DSTL, they are capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 1,000°C (1,832°F), and unlike metals, they hold their strength and shape under extreme heat and stress.

We've got no shortage of munitions. Our stockpiles of defensive and offensive weapons allow us to sustain this campaign as long as we need. Iran is hoping that we cannot sustain this, which is a really bad miscalculation.

CENTCOM's Task Force Scorpion Strike-for the first time in history-is using one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury. These low-cost drones, modeled after Iran's Shahed drones, are now delivering American-made retribution.

Much like the war in Ukraine, future battlefields could be drowning in electronic interference, so the US Army stress-tested new command-and-control tech against that threat. The need to maintain connections between command and deployed weapons and crews, or reestablish those links when they're lost, is shaping how soldiers train on the service's Next Generation Command and Control, a new software-driven system that's being developed for the Army.
