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

The Australian Government's recent decision to cancel the $7 billion JP9102 military-grade satellite communications program, a mere 18 months after its announcement, underscores significant challenges in aligning national defence strategies with technological advancements. Defence Minister Richard Marles cited "evolving threats in space" as a primary reason for pivoting towards a multi-orbit satellite capability rather than the previously planned single geostationary system. This abrupt cancellation raises concerns regarding the strategic oversight and future capabilities of the Australian Defence Force (ADF). As highlighted by critics, including Coalition defence spokesman Andrew Hastie MP, this decision could severely impact Australia's capacity for strategic overwatch and operational coordination. The JP9102 project, awarded to Lockheed Martin, was set to enhance communication networks essential for modern military operations, including multiple ground stations and operations centres. While the overall defence budget remains robust—projected to reach record levels in the coming years—the cancellation challenges Australia's aspirations for self-reliance and sovereign capability; and may deter future investments and partnerships, creating uncertainty in the sector as stakeholders seek clarity on the government’s long-term strategy for space and defence capabilities.

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

Training for major incidents is inherently complicated given the scale and planning required to run real-world like scenarios. Virtual reality (VR) offers a potential "half-way" point given its ability to provide an immersive environment, particularly from an incident command perspective. #EMSTraining #VirtualReality #Innovation #IncidentCommand #EmergencyServices #ISUNGlobal #HealthcareConsultancy https://lnkd.in/e-vrmW59
