South Korea will prioritize developing a multi-purpose command ship instead of a previously proposed F-35B-armed light aircraft carrier. The defense ministry is essentially canceling the Multipurpose Large Transport Ship-II project, transforming it into the Multipurpose Manned and Unmanned Force Command Ship Program. The Republic of Korea Navy will equip the new ship with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as part of its push to stay up-to-date in a UAV-centric global landscape.

A California startup may have just changed the game for drone endurance. Lyten has unveiled a new lithium-sulfur battery that can keep small drones in the air for more than three hours — a significant leap from the limits of today’s lithium-ion packs. The new power source was recently tested on a 3D-printed, 8.5-foot (2.6-meter) drone that flew for more than 180 minutes over Palos Verdes, California.

6 days ago | thedefensepost.com | Rojoef Manuel

British tech firm Roke is shaking up electronic warfare (EW) with its EM-Vis Deceive — a compact, lightweight system that can be carried by troops to jam enemy signals and disrupt drones in the field. Weighing less than 10 kilograms (22 pounds), the system is built with a modular open architecture, meaning it can easily evolve to meet shifting operational needs.
US Air Force to Test Rocket-Based Cargo Delivery With Rocket Lab’s Neutron

6 days ago | thedefensepost.com | Joe Saballa

The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has selected Rocket Lab’s Neutron rocket to explore the potential of rapid, rocket-based cargo delivery to anywhere on Earth. Part of the AFRL’s Rocket Cargo program, the mission will test how commercial launch systems might one day support point-to-point transportation of military supplies — a concept that could significantly transform global defense logistics.
