How AI is Reshaping the Future of Warfare – What You Need to Know Now

The 2017 U.S. Department of Defense project Maven was launched to apply AI-based computer vision to analyze drone surveillance footage in the Middle East, with fielding by year’s end. In 2019, China released its National Defense White Paper announcing the goal of “intelligentized warfare” and a plan to become the world AI leader by 2030. The United States established the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) in 2018 to coordinate AI across the DoD, with Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) linking sensors to shooters in real time. In 2020, DARPA’s AlphaDogfight Trials saw an AI agent defeat a human F-16

Starlink has over 6,700 satellites in orbit as of early 2025 and surpassed 4 million subscribers by late 2024 across 100+ countries. Starlink satellites orbit at about 550 km altitude and deliver typical download speeds of 50–200 Mbps with latency around 20–40 ms. Starlink Gen2 introduces inter-satellite laser links to route data between satellites, reducing reliance on ground gateways. SpaceX began testing Direct-to-Cell satellites in 2023–2024 to text ordinary phones using T-Mobile spectrum, with voice and data services planned for 2025. OneWeb’s first-generation constellation targets 648 satellites, with about 632 operational by late 2024, and it merged with Eutelsat to

Fiber-Optic Drones in Ukraine: Evolution, Applications, and Impact

Fiber-Optic Drones in Ukraine: Evolution, Applications, and Impact

The Knyaz Vandal Novgorodsky fiber-optic FPV drone, built by the Russian volunteer group Ushkuinik led by Aleksey Chadaev, was deployed in August 2024 in Russia’s Kursk region to counter Ukrainian incursions. By late 2024 and early 2025, elite Russian fiber-optic FPV units named Rubicon and Sudny Den operated in eastern Ukraine, carrying spools up to about 10.8 km and achieving ranges of 20–30 km with roughly 80% success at 20 km. In December 2024 Ukraine demonstrated FPV drones controlled via fiber-optic cables to high-ranking officers, presenting more than a dozen domestic models with payloads up to 3 kg. By early

Importing Drones to Ukraine – A Comprehensive Overview

Importing Drones to Ukraine – A Comprehensive Overview

In February 2023 Ukraine abolished value-added tax (VAT) and import duties on drones and related equipment, with exemptions extended to at least January 1, 2025 under martial law. Under the “235 Preference,” international postal and express UAV shipments to Ukraine are fully exempt from customs duties and VAT. In early 2023 the Cabinet canceled the requirement for volunteer importers to provide an end-user guarantee letter and waived dual-use drone licenses. Since April 2024 Ukraine uses an online humanitarian cargo system on good.gov.ua that assigns a unique code to drone shipments for fast border clearance. DJI direct sales to Ukraine stopped

Bandwidth Wars: The High-Stakes Battle for High-Throughput Satellite Dominance (2025–2035)

Bandwidth Wars: The High-Stakes Battle for High-Throughput Satellite Dominance (2025–2035)

HTS use numerous narrow spot-beams and on-board processing to deliver dramatically higher data rates than legacy FSS, with platforms like Boeing 702X and SES-17 featuring fully digital, reconfigurable payloads. HTS constellations can deliver terabits of capacity worldwide to power broadband, backhaul, IoT and government networks. Modern HTS platforms operate primarily in Ku/Ka-bands and increasingly in V/Q/KuL bands to support mobility. In aviation, Ka-band GEO and LEO HTS provide in-flight connectivity on thousands of passenger aircraft, with SES-17 Ka-band HTS expected to meet exponential airline connectivity needs.
