GEHOcab's EDGE Explorer Trail looks less like something you'd find at an RV dealership and more like a structure designed for a remote research outpost, all hard facets, dark charcoal caps, and angular geometry that refuses to apologize for its size. The two-tone silver and black body reads almost monumental, and parked next to a RAM TRX or an F-150, it turns the truck into something closer to a tactical vehicle than family transportation.
When the user asks "What enemy military unit is in the region?" the AIP Assistant guesses that it's "likely an armor attack battalion based on the pattern of the equipment." This prompts the analyst to request a MQ-9 Reaper drone to survey the scene. They then ask the AIP Assistant to "generate 3 courses of action to target this enemy equipment," and within moments, the assistant suggests attacking the unit with either an "air asset," a "long range artillery," or a "tactical team."
The Defense Department didn't realize the drone was being flown by CBP when it shot it down, and had not first coordinated the use of the laser system with the US Federal Aviation Administration. The military hasn't been coordinating counter-drone measures with the FAA, and CBP drone operators didn't inform the military's laser unit that it was launching.
A dozen humanoid robots stand in front of a snow-covered mountain range. They hold machine guns and run across a shooting range, kneeling down to shoot at targets and change magazines, then maneuvering through an obstacle course. The setting for these scenes in a 48-second video currently circulating on social media is supposedly China, with the national flag flying in the background. But is it real? In many languages, such as Turkish shown here, the claim spread that the video shows a real military exercise.
Cadillac's response was to design specifically for that liminal space. The testing livery features what they call "the Cadillac precision geometric pattern" in gloss and matte sequences, turning functional camouflage into brand vocabulary. They're using the constraint of secrecy to communicate design philosophy, establishing that their approach blends automotive prototype discipline with motorsport theater. The giant Cadillac crest draped across the engine cover isn't trying to hide anything. It's declaring that the space between stealth and spectacle is itself worth designing for.
The International Spy Museum will unveil its newest special exhibit, " Camouflage: Designed to Deceive," on March 1. The museum has previously featured artifacts that used elements of camouflage, like the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish with "adaptive camouflage" that appeared in the 2024 exhibit "Bond in Motion." For the first time, however, the Spy Museum will dedicate an all-new exhibit to exploring the history of camouflage, in an installation that will be on display for the next three years.
Over the past year, waves of federal layoffs have left thousands of government employees and contractor clients suddenly out of work. For foreign intelligence services, that disruption has opened new opportunities. With more former U.S. officials seeking employment or freelance work - often in specialized national security fields - adversaries, namely China, have stepped in, posing as consulting firms, research groups and recruiters.
Shadow AI is the unsanctioned use of artificial intelligence tools outside of an organization's governance framework. In the healthcare field, clinicians and staff are increasingly using unvetted AI tools to improve efficiency, from transcription to summarization. Most of this activity is well-intentioned. But when AI adoption outpaces governance, sensitive data can quietly leave organizational control. Blocking AI outright isn't realistic. The more effective approach is to make safe, governed AI easier to use than unsafe alternatives.
"A floor manager responsible for production asked me to fix his PC, which was so slow he could literally make a coffee in the time between double-clicking an icon and having the program open," Parker told On Call. The manager's PC was only a year old and ran Windows XP, a combo that at the time of this tale should have made for decent performance.
On paper, many of the world's most famous weapons looked like reliable successes. In practice, desert sand, jungle humidity, and arctic cold often had other ideas. Systems that performed well in testing or early combat sometimes broke down once environmental stress became unavoidable. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at how the environment, not enemy fire, can quietly expose limits that designers never fully anticipated.
In military service, reliability is priceless, at least until the bill comes due. Some vehicles earned legendary status because they rarely failed in combat and delivered results under pressure. The problem was what it took to keep them that way. Heavy fuel use, maintenance-intensive systems, specialized parts, and recovery demands typically followed these platforms wherever they deployed. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at reliable military vehicles that were logistically expensive.
Infantry once relied on numbers to solve uncertainty. When soldiers could not see or hit targets precisely, the answer was more troops and more fire. Sniper technologies quietly overturned that logic. By extending range, improving accuracy, and increasing awareness, they allowed small teams to dominate space once controlled only by massed formations. Precision replaced presence, and patience became a battlefield advantage. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a look at the sniper technologies that totally changed the game.
In its annual Red Report, a body of research that analyzes real-world attacker techniques using large-scale attack simulation data, Picus Labs warns cybersecurity professionals that threat actors are rapidly shifting away from ransomware encryption to parasitic "sleeperware" extortion as their means to loot organizations for millions of dollars per attack. Released today and now in its sixth year, the 278-page Red Report gets its name from Picus-organized cybersecurity exercises that take the perspective of the attacker's team, otherwise known as the "red team."
David versus Goliath stories captivate us, especially when David brings a slingshot that looks like alien technology. Enter Stavatti Aerospace, a 25-person firm from Niagara Falls taking on Boeing and Northrop Grumman for one of the most lucrative defense contracts in naval aviation. Their weapon of choice? The SM-39 Razor, a fighter design so visually striking it demands a double-take. The triple-fuselage "Batwing" configuration breaks from a century of conventional aircraft architecture, presenting a form that's more science fiction than traditional aerospace engineering.
