BOSTON, Massachusetts. Teledyne FLIR Defense received a $42.5 million contract from U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command to deliver Rogue 1 loitering munition systems under the Organic Precision Fires-Light (OPF-L) program, the company announced in a statement.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland. Mercury will highlight electronic warfare and radar processing technologies aligned with open-systems standards at the AOC International Symposium & Convention 2025, the company announced in a statement.

Military power systems are changing dramatically as defense platforms pack more capability into the same physical space. From artificial intelligence (AI)-driven threat detection and directed-energy weapons to swarms of autonomous drones and electric aircraft, today’s battlefield needs power in amounts that would have seemed improbable just a decade ago. At the same time, the battlefield itself is evolving: Military units are spreading across vast areas to avoid detection, which creates new challenges in getting energy to where it’s needed most. The question facing military power system designers is no longer just how to generate more power, but how to deliver it efficiently and rapidly to forces that are increasingly mobile and spread out.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive electronic warfare (EW) will be a central focus of the technical program at the 62nd AOC International Symposium & Convention, with multiple briefings set to examine how AI is being applied to spectrum operations, according to the event agenda.

HERNDON, Virginia. HawkEye 360 received 23 months of additional funding from the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the Commercial Systems Program Office (CSPO) to expand its commercial radio-frequency (RF) data and analytics support for U.S. and allied missions, the company announced in a statement.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Shield AI have partnered with Sedaro to pair Shield AI’s Hivemind Pilot autonomy software with Sedaro’s space-systems simulation platform for orbital mission development, the company announced in a statement.
