What is the current status of the Indian nuclear arsenal? "India continues to modernize its nuclear arsenal, with at least four new weapon systems and several new delivery platforms under development to complement or replace existing nuclear-capable aircraft, land-based delivery systems, and sea-based systems. Several of these systems are nearing completion and will soon be fielded. We estimate that India may have produced enough military plutonium for 130 to 210 nuclear warheads but likely has produced only around 172, although the country’s warhead stockpile is likely growing." Read the latest Nuclear Notebook entry from Hans M. Kristensen, Matt Korda, Eliana Johns, and Mackenzie Knight of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists. https://lnkd.in/eVAWFYrn

#ICYMI, Navy Divers assigned to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit One worked with the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) to recover the RTN corvette HTMS Sukhothai, which tragically sank in 180 feet of water in the Gulf of Thailand due to a storm in 2022. The #salvage team had four objectives: to search for the missing persons, to collect information in support of the RTN accident investigation, to demilitarize or remove sensitive equipment on-board and to recover culturally significant items to memorialize the tragic loss. The mission, performed as part of #ExerciseCobraGold2024, was the most advanced combined USN/RTN salvage event ever conducted. According to Lt. Cmdr. Max Cutchen, the U.S. Seventh Fleet Salvage Officer, “The combined diving on Sukhothai allowed us to capitalize on 30 years of bilateral #naval training in order to field a 100% interoperable team to attack technically complex, real-world objectives. I think this event opened all of our eyes to what we can accomplish when we work together.” #NavyDivers ability to conduct salvage operations keeps sea lanes clear, but allows us to contribute to important missions like this one. Read more about this somber, but impactful #partnership salvage mission at the link below. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gTrAKysx

EMAS - An Alternative to RESA EMAS is an alternative to a fully dimensioned Runway Safety Area (RESA) and is in accordance with and complies with aerodrome standards; especially when there is not enough RESA available or when environmental or topographic features limit runway extension options. EMAS does not only replace RESA but will also increase safety in situations with tabletop mountains, water, roads, buildings, and other obstacles that are close to runway ends. hashtag#RESA hashtag#runways hashtag#runwaysafety hashtag#runwaysafety hashtag#runwaysafe hashtag#EMAS hashtag#RSA hashtag#FAA hashtag#ICAO hashtag#airportsafety hashtag#airport hashtag#runwaytechnology

An escalating deterrent works by gradually increasing the level of response to change an intruder's behaviour. Initially, a light warning or minor response is often enough to make an intruder reconsider their actions. If the intruder persists - the deterrent escalates. A secondary detector, such as the DualCurtain Outdoor triggers Night Sabre’s red and blue strobe. You’re signalling that their actions will lead to growing consequences. This approach psychologically pressures the intruder, making them more likely to abandon their attempt as the perceived risk of continuing increases. Using these solutions you’re effectively modifying their behaviour in response to the heightened deterrence. But, what if they continue to advance? A powerful physical defence solution like UR Fog: Modular, Compact 390,or BAT 300. These systems rapidly prevent further intrusion by quickly filling the area with a dense, harmless fog. It obscures vision and creates a physical barrier. No Visibility. No Theft. The fog prevents intruder’s from identifying valuables, forcing them to abandon their efforts. This level of response sends a clear signal: Continued advancement triggers a direct, immediate consequence that effectively ends the intrusion attempt.

The Australian Army is turning to directed-energy weapons as one-way of embracing emerging technology to counter off-the-shelf small multi-rotor uncrewed aerial vehicles. Recently at the Army’s At a Puckapunyal range in Victoria, AIM Defence nstrated its Fractl Portable High Energy Laser which is powerful enough to burn through steel and can track objects as small as a 10-cent piece travelling 100kmph a kilometre away. The laser is ‘silent, virtually motionless and soldiers can be taught to use it in minutes’, according to an article published by the Army. At the Puckapunyal demonstration, the team ‘hard killed’ a drone at 500m with a deployable prototype. Co-founder Jessica Glenn said: “It paints a pathway toward getting this novel wavelength to match similar ranges as our one-micron system, which is achieving 1.5km counter sensor and approximately 1km hard kill engagements.” #manufacturing #australianmanufacturing #defence #defenceindustry #antidrone #lasers

Hurricane Milton explosively intensified into a Cat5 system (highest on the scale) Mon 7th Oct in the SW Gulf Of Mexico (GOM). This is the first time a Cat5 system has formed in the GOM and made U.S. landfall. It is forecast to track NE’wards, making landfall close to Tampa Bay, Florida late on Wed 9th local time as a Cat 4, with potentially catastrophic impacts – high storm surge, flooding and damaging winds. However, we are expecting minimal disruption to oil and LNG terminals and refineries, as well as gas/oil rigs, with Milton tracking across the southern and eastern Gulf – but some impacts to shipping. The remnants of Milton will then move into the North Atlantic and weaken, but could still have some influence on patterns across Europe early in week 42 (w/b 14th Oct). Today's Trading Weather blog takes a look at the latest situation and forecast, as well as energy implications, in more detail.

With the Arctic warming 4x faster than the global average, Arctic security is vital for Canada. Lockheed Martin Canada was honoured to attend the Montréal Climate Security Summit, where Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly spoke of recalibrating Canada’s Arctic Foreign Policy. Other speakers from NATO nations highlighted the need to factor impacts of climate change into defence strategies. From food insecurity to wildfires and coastal flooding, climate impacts are felt worldwide. Let’s each recognize our role in addressing these challenges and act together for a more resilient future. #ClimateSecurity #Arctic #GlobalImpact
