The US Navy is developing<\/a> a new network architecture with the US Air Force to better link all their platforms together. Named the \u2018new Manhattan project\u2019, the aim is to allow the navy to network with air force command and control platforms over a wide area, in order to meet the rising challenge from China. This comes as the chief of naval operations also hinted<\/a> that the navy may look beyond traditional aircraft carriers for its future aviation needs.<\/p>\n

Captain Miho Otani has become<\/a> the first woman to assume command of a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Aegis missile destroyer. She will take charge of the Myoko<\/em>, which has a crew of around 300. Speaking to reporters, she said<\/a> she would like appointments like hers to become the norm. Otani became<\/a> the first Japanese female warship captain in 2016, when she was promoted to the command of the destroyer Yamagiri<\/em>.<\/p>\n

France has ordered<\/a> six offshore patrol vessels from shipbuilder Socarenam. While no official specifications have been published, it\u2019s reported that they could carry remotely controlled weapons systems and will be used to patrol France’s economic exclusive zone \u2018in a context of increasing threats to [its] fishing resources, biodiversity and international maritime rules\u2019. The vessels are set to be delivered<\/a> between 2022 and 2025, and will be based in France’s Pacific Ocean territories and islands.<\/p>\n

The Royal Australian Air Force held<\/a> its inaugural Exercise Christmas Drop Australia last week. The RAAF airdropped gift parcels to isolated Indigenous communities in Queensland and Western Australia, using a C-27J Spartan aircraft. Wing Commander Ben Poxon said<\/a> the exercise was a chance for the air force to test out the C-27J, which is used to deliver combat supplies to troops, allowing crews to conduct tactical training while also delivering some Christmas cheer.<\/p>\n

The USAF is looking<\/a> to use augmented reality and virtual reality technologies for pilot training, but because many of the technologies use Chinese components, their ability to be used for secure training is limited. The use of virtual reality systems has shortened basic training programs for new pilots, but the risk of data breaches is preventing the technology from being used with the air force\u2019s most advanced aircraft like the F-35.<\/p>\n

A MiG-23 fighter aircraft belonging to the Libyan National Army (LNA) was shot down<\/a> by opposition forces last week. According to an online video<\/a>, people claiming to be members of the Libyan Government of National Accord used a portable missile to target the aircraft, though the video doesn’t show the aircraft being hit. The LNA has acknowledged<\/a> the loss of the MiG-23, but said it crashed due to technical issues. The pilot apparently managed to eject from the plane.<\/p>\n

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

For the first time in 10 years, Australian and Bruneian soldiers took part<\/a> in a joint training exercise named Mallee Bull at Brisbane\u2019s Gallipoli Barracks. The two-week exercise focused on \u2018integration training in urban environments with mechanised vehicles and reconnaissance\u2019. The Australian Army says the exercise was an opportunity to enhance security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as deepen regional counterterrorism partnerships.<\/p>\n

For 80 years, the Land Engineering Agency <\/a>has been designing, developing and testing critical equipment for the Australian Army. The agency provides specialist engineering support for a wide range of equipment, ensuring the army is combat-ready. Most of the testing occurs on a 260-hectare site in Monegeetta, Victoria, where weapons, body armour and vehicles are subject to rigorous testing including extremes of heat and cold and electro-magnetic interference.<\/p>\n

T<\/u>he US Army should look to 3D printing<\/a>, especially for parts that require regular replacement, according to Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy. Parts made by 3D printers can be lighter and more durable than their traditional counterparts and can also reduce costs and increase the availability of weapons and vehicles. Compared to the commercial sector, which now routinely uses 3D parts, the uptake of 3D printing has been slow in the military mainly because of concerns over reliability.<\/p>\n

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

The European Space Agency has signed<\/a> on to NASA\u2019s mission to test whether a \u2018kinetic impactor\u2019 could successfully deflect an asteroid. As part of the mission, ESA and NASA will each send a spacecraft to Didymos, a double-asteroid system, to test and assess the impact of NASA\u2019s double asteroid redirection test, known as DART. NASA will first slam a probe into a satellite of Didymos called Didymoon. The ESA will then assess the effects using a spacecraft and two cubesats.<\/p>\n

The second version of the \u2018crew interactive mobile companion\u2019 known as CIMON 2, has reached<\/a> the International Space Station. The robot, built by Airbus, is equipped with IBM\u2019s Watson artificial intelligence system, has received an upgrade called the \u2018Watson Tone Analyzer\u2019, which enables it to assess and react to astronauts\u2019 emotions. An IBM representative said the update means \u2018CIMON has transformed from a scientific assistant to an empathetic conversational partner\u2019.<\/p>\n

SpaceX\u2019s Dragon cargo ship arrived<\/a> at the International Space Station over the weekend, delivering more than 2,585 kilograms of supplies and equipment. The delivery was the 19th resupply mission for NASA by SpaceX under the company\u2019s commercial resupply services contract and the spacecraft\u2019s third trip to the station. The mission had been scheduled for launch on 4 December but was postponed for a day<\/a> due to high winds.<\/p>\n

The federal government has agreed<\/a> to establish a Senate select committee that will look into the risk posed to Australia by cyber-enabled foreign interference. The focus of the inquiry will be the spread of \u2018fake news\u2019 on social media and its impact on Australia\u2019s democracy. The committee is expected to hold a series of hearings with policy experts over the next 12 months before presenting a final report to parliament.<\/p>\n

Reddit has issued a statement<\/a> linking the account involved in the leak of the details of UK\u2013US trade talks on its platform to a campaign \u2018originating from Russia\u2019. As a result of its investigation, the company has banned one subreddit and 61 accounts. The UK government has said<\/a> that it\u2019s \u2018looking into the matter\u2019, news of which comes amid heightened concerns<\/a> over Prime Minister Boris Johnson\u2019s decision not to publicly release the parliamentary intelligence committee\u2019s report on Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum.<\/p>\n

Russian investigative outlet MBKh Media has revealed<\/a> that access to Moscow\u2019s network of more than 170,000 surveillance cameras is being sold on the black market. For A$690, anyone can purchase the username and password of a government-accredited official with access to the cameras, and gain access to the entire network, which includes 3,000 facial recognition cameras. Access to live footage from a specific camera can be gained for \u2018tens of dollars\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
