Reminder of the DEF757 event next Thursday! If you're local to the area and want to attend...Do it! Don't care about the # of attendees, it's about the quality of the conversation. If you're new to a DEF757 event, here's what you need to know: - Brings a mix of government, military, start-ups and innovation minded dreamers - We love informal settings to be yourself - We despise starchy collars and what that entails - There is to be no BD, sales activities or motives!!! - DEF 757 events are a safe space for candid conversations about real challenges, empathetic voices, and helpful thoughts Defense Entrepreneurs Forum NSIN - National Security Innovation Network AFWERX NavalX Mid-Atlantic Tech Bridge NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) NATO Innovation Hub NavalX Jefferson Lab NASA Langley Research Center U.S. Coast Guard U.S. Fleet Forces Command #innovation #DOD #army #navy #USAF #USMC #USCG #NASA #DOE #Army #data #autonomy #AI #software #digitalengineering #MBSE #digitaltwin #HCD #drones #generativeai #llm #acquisition #policy

US Air Force Eyes Dedicated Starship Fleet for High-Risk Missions. The US Air Force (USAF) is reportedly exploring a bold move: acquiring and operating a fleet of SpaceX Starship rockets specifically for high-risk military missions. This marks a significant shift from previous proposals that focused on Starship's cargo delivery capabilities. While SpaceX has a history of launching military and government payloads, this new initiative would see "grey tail" Starships – those designated for military use – directly integrated into the USAF's arsenal. This dedicated fleet would offer unprecedented capabilities for critical and potentially hazardous operations. #defense #defence #military #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation

The global market for submarine lithium-ion batteries is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35.5% from 2024 to 2032. This growth is driven by factors such as developing technologies, improving battery performance, and the need for more efficient and reliable power sources in the marine industry. The market is also being boosted by growing demand from military and civilian sectors, as well as the increasing use of electric submarines.

Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks has voiced concerns about China and Russia's increasing deployment of capabilities to target GPS and other crucial space-based systems. Speaking at the change of command ceremony for U.S. Space Command, Hicks highlighted the importance of maintaining military superiority in space. She emphasized the U.S.'s commitment to deterring aggression and outpacing China's space launches and payloads through the launch of a growing constellation of smaller, more resilient, and lower-cost satellites. Hicks noted that while China's space activities have seen significant growth, the U.S. has more than quadrupled its space launches per year during the same period, with payloads launched increasing nearly 13 times. In 2023, the U.S. launched over 2,500 payloads compared to China's 240. Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Navy Adm. Christopher W. Grady echoed the importance of space in national defense, emphasizing its role as the most essential warfighting domain. Both Hicks and Grady commended Army Gen. James H. Dickinson's leadership and achievements, expressing confidence in Space Force Gen. Stephen N. Whiting's ability to build on his predecessor's accomplishments. Hicks and Grady also acknowledged the support from allies, partners, industry, academia, and the generals' wives in advancing U.S. space capabilities. Whiting pledged to continue strengthening these relationships as he assumes command of U.S. Space Command. https://lnkd.in/gM99jsxs #SpaceSecurity #MilitarySpaceAdvantage #USChinaSpaceRace #SpaceDeterrence #SpaceCommand #SpaceInnovation #ResilientSatellites #CommercialSpaceIndustry #SpaceConflictPrevention #USMilitaryLeadership #SpaceSuperiority #GlobalSpaceStability #SpacePartnerships #SpaceCapabilities #NationalSecurity #SpaceDominance #USAllies #SpaceLaunches #PayloadsInOrbit #SpaceLeadership #SpaceExcellence

⚠️BREAKING NEWS! ARCA and General Astronautics will perform in April no less than three CER-160TR rocket launches from a European military base for certification. The launches are executed for the introduction into service of the 160 caliber target rocket for the benefit of a European military force. The CER-160TR rocket uses environmentally friendly water-based fuel, is launched from a canister and can reach a maximum altitude of 20km, a speed of Mach 1.9 and a range of 40km. The CER-160TR can fly for 200s to allow anti-aircraft forces to identify, to obtain the firing solution and to launch and destroy the target, flying similarly to artillery rockets. The launches will receive the civil identification Mission 17, 18, 19 in the ARCA nomenclature. The CER-160TR product is in line with ARCA's policy of producing exclusively defensive weapons, with the proceeds being allocated to the development of the civilian AMi Exploration and EcoRocket programs.

As GEN James Dickinson prepares to relinquish command of U.S. Space Command tomorrow, it made me reflect on my interactions with him over the years and appreciate what he changed about space security. We both emerged from the world of missile defense and crossed paths from time-to-time, but I didn’t feel his direct impact until we both landed in U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command. As his chief of training and exercises, he immediately pushed my team around the world to ensure all US Army space personnel were trained and ready to conduct global space operations. This degree of urgency and attention to readiness felt normal to me, but it caused some shockwaves across the U.S. Army space community. Through 3 years of persistence, he cemented a new warfighting culture there at a time when U.S. Space Command and the United States Space Force burst onto the scene looking to establish their own identities. Amidst expected service parochialism and jockeying, it felt right when he was selected to lead U.S. Space Command in 2020. A U.S. Army general focused on readiness seemed fitting for a burgeoning military enterprise being publicly satirized and eager to figure out what space warfighting meant. By all accounts, he applied the same leadership approach and expectations, resulting in the command reaching fully operational capability in record time. Watching his operational achievements from afar was exciting, but it was his focus on space education that impressed me the most. He made a point to leverage and include the expertise from private companies, other nations, and academic institutions because he understood that space security relies on diversity of thought as a driving force of innovation for fledgling organizations with monumental tasks. During his tenure, he made an unrivaled 4 visits to The United States Army War College to talk to the students. He asked students and faculty to research key strategic challenges his staff was facing in real time. He set up an Academic Engagement Enterprise to collaborate with dozens of major universities. And he took time to talk with me last year for a War Room podcast interview (posted in comments) so that his impact would continue for years to come. These are only a few personal experiences I had with him. Congratulations to GEN Dickinson on a successful command and for somehow balancing a spirit of space warfighting and education for thousands of people now and for years to come! #space #usspacecom #usspaceforce #spaceeducation #leadership #NeverADayWithoutSpace #WAR_ROOM Photo credit: U.S. Space Command
