🇺🇸 US Air Force to Fund Demonstrations of Space Internet Services Connecting Multiple Constellations
The experiments are part of an Air Force Research Laboratory program known as Defense Experiments Using the Commercial Space Internet.
The US Air Force will fund demonstrations of space Internet services, where military users can access broadband services from commercial constellations in different orbits.
The Air Force Research Laboratory announced plans for these demonstrations during an inquiry on 31 January. The military wants to be able to use Internet services from satellites in geosynchronous, medium and low orbits, relying on a common user terminal, a capability that is being sold by the industry, but AFRL wants to see further demonstration.
Companies are encouraged to submit proposals for multi-orbit multi-band networks where users can switch between space ISPs as needed.
The experiments are part of an AFRL program called Defense Experiments Using the Commercial Space Internet (DEUCSI), launched in 2017 to explore how new services such as Starlink SpaceX, OneWeb, and others can be integrated with traditional satellite communications networks and be used to support military operations.
The new DEUCSI decision says AFRL plans to fund two to five "multi-band, multi-orbit communications" experiments over the next two years under contracts that can cost up to $40 million per experiment, depending on available government funding.
AFRL says it will not accept proposals focused on a single satellite system. “Solutions capable of operating on a single satellite constellation are of no interest,” the request says. He wants the ideas to "efficiently integrate multiple commercial terminals from a single vendor to create low cost, highly flexible capabilities."
An example use case is communication for the Arctic region.
“Satellite communications in the Arctic region above 55 degrees latitude are currently extremely limited. The emerging commercial Internet space constellations may provide the ability to quickly and affordably provide unprecedented connectivity in this region on par with those available at lower latitudes,” the request says.
Another option is air communication. The military is interested in satellite communication terminals that can switch between services from different providers with little or no hardware changes.
AFRL says it will consider proposals for satellite constellations already in operation, as well as those that have publicly announced plans to begin service in the near future, such as Amazon Kuiper, Telesat Lightspeed and Astranis.

🇨🇴❗️🇷🇺🇻🇪 The Russian "threat" in recent days has been scaring not only Ukraine, but also Colombia.
The president of this South American country, Ivan Duque, told local journalists that he intends to talk with Russian diplomats to find out exactly what kind of military assistance Moscow is providing to Caracas. “Undoubtedly, we will have the opportunity to talk with the Russian diplomatic mission in Colombia [on this issue],” the head of state said.
The Colombian media hurried to present the material brighter: "The President will call the Russian ambassador to explain about the military presence in Venezuela."
The day before, Colombian Defense Minister Diego Molano said that the mobilization of Venezuelan forces in the joint border area allegedly takes place with the military-technical support of Iran and Russia. The Russian Embassy denied these claims.

🇦🇲⚡🇦🇿 Azerbaijan alone will not decide on proposals for tripartite agreements - Armenian Foreign Ministry.
Baku rejected the proposals of the Armenian side without offering anything in return, Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Vahan Hunanyan told Armenpress news agency, commenting on Azeri FM Jeyhun Bayramov's statements.
• The trilateral agreement clearly spells out steps to increase the level of stability and security on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
• It is difficult to imagine demarcation work when ceasefire violations occur daily at the border.
• The statements of the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister are at least strange in the context of the fact that Armenia is already discussing the practical issues of building the Yeraskh-Horadiz railway.
• The Armenian Foreign Ministry hopes that Baku does not mean Azerbaijan's refusal from the agreements reached in Brussels on the resumption of the work of the railway.
• Baku also ignores Armenia's proposal to open roads.

🇩🇪 In Germany, there is a multinational detachment Northern Raven, designed to conduct intelligence from open sources.
It was created on the basis of the 24th battalion of the 66th military intelligence brigade of the US Army (Wiesbaden) and includes analysts from the 🇺🇸 USA, 🇬🇧 UK, 🇱🇹 Lithuania, 🇵🇱 Poland and 🇪🇪 Estonia.
Northern Raven's activities are aimed at improving intelligence sharing and training between partner countries.
The detachment has already prepared more than 250 reports for the benefit of the US intelligence community, the Five Eyes alliance and NATO.
By the way, in the lower right corner is an example of one of the OSINT reports on the planned meeting of the presidents of 🇧🇾 Belarus and 🇷🇺 Russia in February 2021.

🇺🇸⚡ Pentagon released a video recording of the events that took place immediately after the terrorist attack at the Kabul airport on August 26, 2021.
As the military found out, the shooting after the explosion was opened by the military personnel of the US and British Armed Forces, and not the accomplices of the suicide bomber, as previously stated. Investigators also clarified that the wounds from the striking elements were initially mistaken for gunshot wounds.
The US military leadership concluded that the attack was impossible to prevent.
