News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

The press service of Perm National Research Polytechnic University reported that the new method allows to reduce the power consumption of the equipment, and to provide a high level of fault tolerance.

The scope of application of exoskeletons that reduce the load and increase the physical characteristics of a person continues to expand today: they are used in medicine, industry, and power structures are also actively "looking at" these technologies.

MWM: Zircon" with a speed of Mach 9 in the coastal defense system

"Zircons" will be integrated into a coastal defense system like the Bastion system, where their direct predecessor, the R–800 Onyx missile, is already being used, writes MWM.It is expected that the "Zircons" will be used to defeat not only surface, but also ground targets.

Tehran has made great strides in the development of missile technology. In particular, the Bavar 373 SAM can hit enemy ballistic missiles at a distance of over 300 kilometers.

The Australian Navy has signed a contract with the military contractor Anduril (USA) for the development and construction of a large underwater drone the size of a bus — XL-AUV.

The information that appeared in the spring of this year about the development of a new coastal missile system armed with a hypersonic missile "Zircon" has been confirmed. According to a source familiar with the situation, a prototype of a mobile launcher for "Zircon" has been developed and is already being tested.

For more than a decade, the U.S. Air Force has been planning to acquire a successor to the KC-46 tanker, known as the KC-Y, before embarking on a program to produce a next-generation clean tanker called the KC-Z. However, service leaders, primarily Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall, hinted that the Air Force may abandon the KC-Y altogether and simply continue to purchase more KC-46s before starting to implement the KC-Z program.

Nihon Keizai: Japan is thinking about creating its own hypersonic missiles by 2030

Against the background of the difficult situation in the world, Japan has thought about security, writes Nihon Keizai. The growing external threats prompted her to start developing hypersonic missiles. Tokyo hopes that the new weapon will help it deter opponents.

Ukraine has decided to focus on creating a fleet of marine drones, a week ago the attack of marine drones on Russian ships in Sevastopol led Kiev to think that this is the best option. Zelensky made a corresponding statement.

Perhaps the main caliber of Russian small arms will be changed, and this will affect the legendary Kalashnikov assault rifles. At least, the relevant statements are made by gunsmiths. Why has the caliber of automatic weapons already been changed in the USSR, what can the new caliber be and for what is such a reform supposed to be?

We talk about new technologies in the domestic helicopter industry

The aviation industry today strives not just to create new planes and helicopters, but to control the condition of already flying machines, to know in advance about emerging problems and not to repair, but not to allow breakdowns.

Using the Falcon Heavy superheavy space rocket from SpaceX, the Pentagon launches a new generation Tetra-1 small satellite and another military spacecraft into geostationary Earth orbit, information about which is not reported.

The United States no longer considers the previously existing approaches to the development of a limited number of large satellites and large ground-based systems justified. It took many years and a lot of money to implement these goals, now it is not relevant. The Pentagon's position was voiced by Assistant Secretary of the US Air Force for Space Frank Calvelli.

The President added that the work to meet the needs of the Armed Forces should not be built bureaucratically

Russian weapons must be constantly improved, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday at a meeting of the coordinating council for ensuring the needs of the army.

The head of the Office of Strategic Systems Programs of the US Navy, Vice Admiral Johnny Wolf, is confident that it will be possible to install hypersonic weapons on a Zumwalt-class destroyer in 2025 and on a Virginia-class submarine in 2029, writes Defense News.

The trained algorithms are incredibly effective in detecting non-obvious relationships in complex systems or signs of approaching events that are invisible at first glance. Therefore, they are increasingly being used to analyze the telemetry of remote equipment in order to respond to possible failures in advance. A logical field of application is cosmonautics, where predicting any incidents will give operators on Earth precious time to plan a response.

The United States sent the newest reconnaissance aircraft to the borders of Ukraine

On October 31, an American Challenger 650 reconnaissance aircraft was flying in Romanian airspace, a number of Russian media reported, citing data from the Flightradar24 web service. Earlier, the same aircraft was spotted in Poland. "Newspaper.Ru" - about the purposes of such flights in the sky near the border of Ukraine, about the ability of such aircraft to detect an aerial target and systematically adjust the work of air defense.

MWM: Su-57 will receive Saturn-30 engines with next-generation capabilities

Recently, the upgraded Su-57 made its first flight, writes MWM. It is assumed that there is a possibility of installing a second-stage engine on a fighter. And the new Saturn-30 engine will provide it with unsurpassed flight performance in 2025.

The Kiev nationalist regime, which regularly receives NATO weapons for shelling Russian regions, has focused on drones, artillery, tactical armored vehicles and other platforms and systems. However, small arms still play a very big role in combat. As part of the military sponsorship of Ukrainian militants, the US army is secretly in the process of evaluating and deploying a number of new small arms and related technologies.

According to relevant foreign publications, the Agency for Advanced Research Projects of the US Department of Defense (DARPA) in August 2022 announced plans to begin testing the first crewless ship (No Manning Required Ship, NOMARS) at the end of 2024.
