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

The Royal Australian Navy has sent three warships<\/a> from Fleet Base East, and four from Fleet Base West, to undertake exercises off northern and eastern Australia. HMA Ships <\/a>Anzac<\/em><\/a>,<\/a> Arunta<\/em><\/a>,<\/a> Ballarat<\/em><\/a> and <\/a>Sirius<\/em><\/a> departed from Perth and Canberra<\/em>, Hobart<\/em> and Stuart<\/em> from Sydney. Anzac <\/em>will conduct sea trials after recently undergoing a mid-life upgrade. Ballarat<\/em> is heading east, while the others will test their systems and conduct warfare training as part of a maritime task group<\/a> exercise.<\/p>\n

The US Navy is investigating why the new aircraft launch system failed<\/a> on the US$13 billion aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford<\/em>. The electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS)<\/a> has faced technical difficulties since testing began in 2015. EMALS uses electricity and magnetism<\/a> and replaces the old steam-powered catapult system to launch aircraft. There were no flight-safety issues<\/a> caused by the malfunction, and the carrier has continued trials.<\/p>\n

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

Russian Su-30 Flanker, Su-35 Flanker-E and MiG-31 Foxhound jets recently intercepted<\/a> two US B-52H bombers conducting a training mission over the Sea of Okhotsk in the western Pacific Ocean. Russia\u2019s defence ministry says<\/a> it has registered intensified military activity by the US and its NATO allies and escorted the two bombers at \u2018a considerable distance from the Russian state border\u2019. American bombers have in the past been used to signal the US Air Force\u2019s ability to operate from new bases across the Pacific. A Russian video of the interception can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Royal Air Force and Qatar Emiri Air Force have started<\/a> flying operations in the first<\/a> multinational squadron in British service since World War II. No. 12 Squadron will see<\/a> RAF personnel training their Qatari counterparts to fly and maintain the Eurofighter Typhoon as part of a $9.2 billion order for 24 Typhoons and nine Hawk T2 jets. Qatari Defence Minister Khalid bin Mohammad al Attiyah said the squadron \u2018represents the alignment of vision and strategy in building for a stable and prosperous future for both nations and the world\u2019.<\/p>\n

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

The French Army has published<\/a> a strategic plan to strengthen the force by 2030 in view of the heightened threat of state-on-state conflict and new, \u2018more insidious\u2019 tactics. Particular attention will be given to the troops stationed in French territories in the Asia\u2013Pacific, to protect sovereignty<\/a> and protect against Chinese expansionism. The report stressed the importance of improving the army\u2019s \u2018capabilities in the electromagnetic environment, space, cyberspace and information technology\u2019 and utilising industrial partnerships with other European countries.<\/p>\n

9News has revealed<\/a> body-camera footage recording the moments before the death of Australian soldier Jason Challis, who was fatally shot<\/a> during a training exercise in the Northern Territory in 2017. An inquest found<\/a> that the private\u2019s death was caused by failures during the exercise and could have been prevented, but the army has refused to release information about the internal actions it took against those involved in the incident.<\/p>\n

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

The US has released<\/a> a strategy<\/a> to maintain US space superiority in a \u2018complex security environment\u2019 characterised by competition with China and Russia. The 2011 National security space strategy<\/a><\/em> said space was becoming increasingly \u2018congested, contested, and competitive\u2019, but the latest strategy highlights its militarisation. The Defense space strateg<\/em>y sets out four \u2018lines of effort\u2019 to adapt America\u2019s defence space enterprise to the new strategic environment.<\/p>\n

NASA is set to launch<\/a> a helicopter dubbed Ingenuity along with a rover called Perseverance<\/a> to explore Mars. The helicopter will test flight capabilities in Mars\u2019s atmosphere, while the rover will search for ancient signs of life on the red planet. The spacecraft carrying the two vehicles is scheduled to lift off on an Atlas V rocket from Florida on 20 July and land on Mars in February 2021. If the launch is unsuccessful, NASA will have to wait another two years<\/a> for the next opportunity.<\/p>\n

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

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced<\/a> on Friday that Australia has been hit by major cyberattacks targeting \u2018all levels of government, industry, political organisations, education, health, essential service providers and operators of other critical infrastructure\u2019. The scale and sophistication of the efforts point to a state-based actor<\/a>; however, the prime minister did not name the country responsible. Government sources and experts have pointed to<\/a> China as the most likely culprit and view the announcement as a warning<\/a> to the perpetrator. China has denied<\/a> it is behind the attacks.<\/p>\n

Amid the deadly China\u2013India border dispute<\/a>, India has reportedly been hit by sustained distributed denial-of-service attacks<\/a> from China targeting Indian government websites and banks. The attacks are thought to have originated in Chengdu, the location of the People\u2019s Liberation Army\u2019s unit 61398<\/a>. In a sign that India is increasingly wary of China, the country\u2019s government will ban<\/a> Chinese companies from providing equipment to state-run telecommunications operators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
