🇺🇸🌟- Northrop Grumman announced on May 18th that its YFQ-48A Talon Blue unmanned fighter has moved closer to its first flight after successfully completing autonomous taxi testing for the US Air Force's Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program.

➡️ The milestone confirmed the aircraft can independently handle runway movement, steering, braking, propulsion response, and onboard safety functions. The YFQ-48A is the U.S. Air Force variant of Northrop Grumman's company-funded Project Talon, developed after the company was not selected for the first funded CCA increment.

➡️ The design prioritizes reduced complexity and lower cost, using composite materials, cutting parts by approximately 50%, and coming in roughly 1,000lb lighter than earlier design approaches.

🇨🇩🦠 - The Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo is feared to be much bigger than reported - WHO.

➡️ 671 cases reported and 160 suspected deaths.

➡️ The virus spreads through contact with bodily fluid such as vomit, blood, feces or semen. This strain of Ebola is highly contagious and is estimated to have the fatality rate of ~30%

➡️ Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain and at times internal and external bleeding. Incubation period is 2 to 21 days.

➡️ Risk of a global pandemic is reportedly low for now. However, the region neighboring eastern Congo, including Uganda and South Sudan is considered high risk.

➡️ If you traveled to central Africa recently and experience the aforementioned symptoms, please self-quarantine and seek medical help.

🇺🇸🌟- Lockheed Martin has begun construction on a new 87,000 square foot production facility in Troy, Alabama, dedicated to Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors and laying infrastructure for future Next Generation Interceptor work.

➡️ A single THAAD battery costs approximately $800 million, with individual interceptors priced at around $11 million each, making it one of the most capable and expensive air defense systems in the US arsenal.

➡️ The investment reflects a broader industry effort to address critically thin Western missile defense stockpiles, a problem brought into sharp focus by the Iran war, which consumed vast quantities of interceptors and precision munitions at a rate that exposed the structural limits of US production capacity.

➡️ Lockheed Martin has committed more than $9 billion in internal investment through 2030, funding upgrades or construction at more than 20 facilities across the country.

🇺🇸🇮🇷- Shield AI has been selected to integrate its Hivemind autonomous flight software into the US-made LUCAS One-Way Attack (OWA) drone.

➡️ LUCAS is essentially a reverse-engineered copy of Iran's own Shahed-136 kamikaze drone and will, with Hivemind integrated, be capable of operating intelligently in coordinated swarms in degraded and contested environments with minimal human control.

➡️ The software enables LUCAS drones to execute advanced maneuvers, fly in unpredictable patterns and trajectories, and evade obstacles and ground-based air defenses. Notably, Operation Epic Fury marked the combat debut of the LUCAS drone.
