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

The Department of Defence has launched \u2018Plan Galileo\u2019<\/a>, which outlines a program for establishing regional maintenance centres, maturing supply chains and building a skilled workforce to support the Royal Australian Navy and its fleet of ships. The project aims to develop local and regional capacity<\/a> for naval shipbuilding and maintenance across the country. The Arafura-class offshore patrol vessel<\/a> program is set to be a proof-of-concept for the plan, showing how Defence expects to create a larger and more logistically complex<\/a> navy.<\/p>\n

Two US Navy ships sailed<\/a> into the South China Sea last week to support a drilling ship contracted by Malaysia that was being hassled by Chinese vessels. US Pacific Fleet commander Admiral John Aquilino has labelled China\u2019s tactics in the area as \u2018bullying\u2019. The civilian ship, the West Capella<\/em>, has been drilling<\/a> on the seafloor in waters claimed by Malaysia searching for oil deposits for the past two months.<\/p>\n

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

Boeing has unveiled<\/a> the first of three semi-autonomous \u2018loyal wingman\u2019 aircraft as part of a $40 million program supported by the Royal Australian Air Force. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said<\/a> the aircraft, which has a range of more than 3,700 kilometres, will \u2018enhance the agility and capability of the Australian Defence Force so we can protect our nation and our allies\u2019. It\u2019s the first military aircraft to be designed and built in Australia since the Boomerang in World War II, and will allow experimentation in manned\u2013unmanned teaming.<\/p>\n

The US Air Force has deployed<\/a> four B-1B Lancers and around 200 personnel to support strategic deterrence missions and exercises in the Indo-Pacific. The training, which is based at Andersen Air Force Base on Guam, includes participation by key allies and partners. The deployment comes just a few weeks after the US called an end to<\/a> the continuous bomber presence on Guam which it had maintained since 2004.<\/p>\n

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

Unnamed officials have reportedly disclosed<\/a> that the US Department of Defense is likely to withdraw troops from a peacekeeping mission in the Sinai because it has become too costly and dangerous. The troops are part of the Multinational Force & Observers<\/a>, an independent international organisation that was set up to ensure the Egyptian\u2013Israeli Treaty of Peace is respected. Lately, the US has been under pressure<\/a> to decrease its military aid to Egypt to avoid its misuse by the authoritarian regime of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. However, Israel is worried that a US withdrawal would only help the Islamic State terror group.<\/p>\n

Venezuelan soldiers reportedly seized<\/a> three abandoned Colombian combat vessels on Saturday, and the Colombian navy is now attempting to retrieve them. The news broke days after the Venezuelan government detained<\/a> two US mercenaries who were allegedly involved in a plot to overthrow President Nicolas Maduro through an incursion that killed eight people. Maduro accused the US government of backing what he says was an attempted coup, but President Donald Trump has denied<\/a> any involvement.<\/p>\n

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

Australia\u2019s Office of National Intelligence has issued a request for tender<\/a> to build a \u2018smart\u2019 satellite prototype to \u2018demonstrate the application of miniaturised satellite systems with on-board machine learning applications\u2019. In 2019, ONI confirmed that in-orbit processing of imagery and radio data was theoretically feasible and minimised the need to download bulk data. The service provider will work with ONI and the national intelligence community to provide<\/a> research and development, ongoing application updates and project management services.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s new space crew capsule has successfully completed<\/a> seven unmanned manoeuvres after being launched on the Long March 5B booster. The capsule is designed to carry up to six astronauts to low-earth orbit. According to state media, new heat shielding and 3D printing<\/a> technology were tested during the orbit. The Long March launch also demonstrated<\/a> the capability to start carrying modules and constructing China\u2019s planned space station.<\/p>\n

Wired watchtower<\/strong><\/p>\n

The source code<\/a> for the government\u2019s COVIDSafe app<\/a> was released last week and privacy legislation is expected to be put to parliament this week. More than 5.3 million Australians now have the app; however, a number of MPs and senators have said they won\u2019t download it until privacy rules have been enacted<\/a>. The head of the Digital Transformation Agency, which was responsible for developing the app, has admitted that it may not work<\/a> on some phones unless it\u2019s running in the foreground and the devices are unlocked.<\/p>\n

In Germany, Der Spiegel <\/em>has reported that Russian military intelligence hacked into<\/a> two email inboxes from Chancellor Angela Merkel\u2019s constituency office in 2015. German federal police and the federal cyber agency were able to partially reconstruct the attack and found that emails from 2012 to 2015 were accessed and copied. An arrest warrant<\/a> has been issued for Russian Dmitry Badin, who is believed to be responsible for the German hack as well as that of Hillary Clinton\u2019s emails in the lead-up to the 2016 US election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
