Sea state<\/strong><\/p>\n

Japan will increase its involvement<\/a> in Exercise Talisman Sabre, which begins this month, as the country aims to strengthen its presence<\/a> in Asia and the western Pacific. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopter destroyer JS Ise <\/em>and tank landing ship JS Kunisaki<\/em> will join what\u2019s traditionally been an Australia\u2013US exercise along with troops from the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force\u2019s new amphibious brigade. This will be Japan\u2019s third and largest engagement in the exercise, which focuses on amphibious, airborne and naval combat operations.<\/p>\n

President Rodrigo Duterte is continuing to face domestic criticism<\/a> over his response to the sinking of a Philippine fishing boat by a Chinese vessel in the South China Sea. Duterte has described<\/a> the sinking on 9 June as \u2018just a collision\u2019 and an isolated incident. The 22 fishermen on board the boat were left stranded at sea by the Chinese vessel and were rescued by a passing Vietnamese boat.<\/p>\n

The amphibious assault ship USS Wasp<\/em> has struggled<\/a> to connect the ship\u2019s main gangway to the wharf in Sydney\u2019s Garden Island ahead of Talisman Sabre. \u2018American ingenuity and Aussie knowhow\u2019 eventually brought the US personnel to shore using cranes, ropes and teams of seamen.<\/p>\n

Flight path<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two Dutch F-35As have flown a 9,000-kilometre rapid reaction test<\/a> mission from Edwards Air Force Base in the US to Vlieland Bombing Range in the Netherlands. The long-range bombing mission was conducted at short notice and was part of the aircraft\u2019s operational testing and evaluation phase for the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The aircraft had to land and wait in Canada before completing its mission because of issues with the Netherlands\u2019 KDC-10 fuel tanker.<\/p>\n

Three B-52H bombers from the US Air Force\u2019s 5th Bomber Wing were intercepted<\/a> by Russian Su-27 Flanker aircraft over the Baltic and Black seas. The bombers appeared to be on mock strike missions\u2014 one flew directly towards the Russian-held Crimean Peninsula. Although the intercepts occurred without incident, bomber flights near Crimea show an increasing willingness on behalf of the US to test Russia\u2019s defence of the peninsula.<\/p>\n

Airbus has been chosen<\/a> to install and certify a directed infrared countermeasures system on the German Air Force\u2019s fleet of A400M transport aircraft. The system, developed by Elbit Systems<\/a> in Israel, uses lasers and thermal cameras to detect and deflect heat-seeking, infra-red ground-to-air missiles for medium and large aircraft like the A400M. Other versions are available for helicopters and smaller turboprop aircraft.<\/p>\n

Rapid fire<\/strong><\/p>\n

New figures have revealed that more than 100 British Army instructors have been accused of offences<\/a>, including fighting, stealing and the abuse of recruits involving \u2018hazing\u2019 over the past four years. The army chief, General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith, said <\/a>\u2018all these allegations are being taken very seriously\u2019 and \u2018are now under active investigation by the police\u2019.<\/p>\n

The US Army is retrofitting<\/a> surface-to-air Stinger missiles with proximity fuses. Detonating a missile\u2019s warhead near the target will allow it to take down smaller aircraft like drones. In an April 2017 test, a retrofitted Stinger successfully destroyed<\/a> two unmanned aerial systems. The army expects to be able to deploy the missiles by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Australian Army veterinarians have provided a week of free animal care <\/a>in the Western Australian town of Jigalong as part of the Army Aboriginal Community Assistance Programme<\/a>. The army is also building a new multi-purpose structure and BBQ area in the community. The program is run every year by the army to improve health and living conditions in remote communities.<\/p>\n

Final frontier <\/strong><\/p>\n

NASA is set to trial a deep space atomic clock<\/a>, a crucial step in advancing future space navigation. The new clock is much smaller than previous atomic clocks, meaning it can be carried on spacecraft. The clock will allow spacecraft to operate with much more precision while navigating. A prototype will launch this week and the trial will run for a year.<\/p>\n

SpaceX has successfully completed its final static-fire test<\/a> for its Falcon Heavy rocket before lift-off this week at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center. While the Falcon Heavy has flown before, this is the first time it will launch more than one satellite.<\/p>\n

The German space agency has sent an X-ray telescope known as eROSITA <\/a>out across the universe to search for dark energy. The telescope\u2019s aboard a Russian Proton rocket and, among other tasks, it will track and examine X-ray emissions from galaxy clusters and attempt to better understand dark energy and the role it plays in the expansion of the universe.<\/p>\n

Plans to record<\/a> the computer screens of staff at the Department of Human Services while they conduct customer phone calls have increased the concerns of Australia\u2019s main public sector union over privacy and data security. The department has been trialling screen recordings of 600 staff, \u00a0but it hasn\u2019t let customers know that video as well as audio recordings are being made.<\/p>\n

Myanmar\u2019s transport and communications ministry has ordered<\/a> telecommunications companies to suspend internet services in Rakhine and Chin states. No information has been provided by local authorities as to what influenced the government\u2019s decision, but efforts to control access to online information have been increasing in the country. In February, Facebook attempted to shut down propaganda <\/a>from armed groups to prevent further violence.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has banned<\/a> its employees from using the free version of the workplace messaging tool Slack and grammar-checking app Grammarly. The company has also discouraged the use of Amazon Web Services and Google Docs. Microsoft cited security concerns as the reason for the ban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
