News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

Over decades of space exploration, scientists have found out that only in zero gravity it is possible to create some "unearthly" materials. This is what the ForgeStar platform produced by the Welsh startup Space Forge will do.

The fighting in Ukraine, according to analysts, has clearly shown that even in the XXI century, in the era of unmanned aircraft and satellites, the decisive role is still played by ground forces. The key to victory is the competent interaction of infantry with heavy armored vehicles and artillery. Therefore, the leading NATO countries have accelerated the development of new tanks. About what is known about these projects — in the material of RIA Novosti.

This week, the long-suffering superheavy launch vehicle Space Launch System finally passed the dress rehearsal of the launch together with its payload — the Orion spacecraft. Almost. The countdown had to be stopped 20 seconds ahead of schedule due to another small malfunction. NASA recognized the event as a success, although they clarified that some goals could not be achieved.

In size and weight, it is seriously larger than the Su-25, and a number of layout solutions look unusual. The project differs sharply from the Russian S-70 Hunter heavy drone: this is probably due to the fact that European manufacturers, unlike domestic ones, do not plan to use the novelty in the enemy air defense zone. . But the new combat drone will be involved in patrolling over urban areas of Germany.

The Russian Defense Ministry will patent a device that moves the nuclear power plant away from the spacecraft. This is reported by TASS, referring to the patent application distributed by the Federal Institute of Industrial Property.

Flight tests of the Sarmat rocket showed the coherence of the work of a huge cooperation of enterprises

On April 20, 2022 – a historical point for JSC "GRC Makeev" (part of the state corporation "Roscosmos"). The company that created almost all the naval ballistic missiles of our fleet. For the first time in many years, the Makeyevites have tested and in fact have already put into service a new heavy ballistic missile capable of delivering megatons of explosives to anywhere in the world.

The total number of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is about 170,000 people. In accordance with the current military doctrine, in the event of a conflict, they will have to act not only in open terrain, but also in urban conditions, while minimizing their losses. In this regard, the command of the Israeli army is actively implementing combat robotic systems.

Although it's too early to talk about the "death hour" of traditional cryptography, it's time to create "skill sets" in quantum computing to be sure that states will have the necessary tools to deal with potential cyber threats at the moment when quantum technologies become viable – and this will happen within five years, according to the technical director of Dell (Chief Technology Officer, CTO) John Roese, writes ZDNet on Tuesday.

China's next step towards providing a higher missile defense capability will be to conduct tests to respond to more complex scenarios. Even Chinese analysts admit that a lower success rate of US missile defense does not necessarily mean that China has surpassed the American system, because tests conducted by the US may include other and more complex simulation parameters.

Military expert Dmitry Kornev — on the prospects of the first heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles

The first Sarmat missile system will be on combat duty at the end of 2022. "We will continue to develop and strengthen our Armed Forces taking into account potential military threats and risks, based on the lessons of modern armed conflicts, and improve their combat strength," Russian President Vladimir Putin said on June 21.

China has successfully launched the Kuaizhou-1A launch vehicle with the Tianxing-1 experimental satellite. The device is designed to study near-Earth space. This was reported by the Central Television of China, reports TASS.

Young scientists from the scientific companies of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Military Innovative Technopolis "ERA" will demonstrate at the Army-2022 MVTF more than 40 developments created during military conscription.

According to online sources, the first flight tests of the TP500 transport unmanned aerial vehicle have been conducted in China. Specialists of the First Aviation Institute of China were engaged in the development of the aircraft.

The Russian developer of cybersecurity products based on post-quantum cryptography, qApp, has completed a pilot project to demonstrate the operation of a library of post-quantum algorithms on devices using domestic processors from Baikal Electronics.

Kaspersky Lab has joined the shareholders of the startup Motif NT, a developer of neuromorphic processors that mimic the work of the human brain. Such processors are more productive and more energy efficient than conventional CPUs. The share of the "Laboratory" was 15%, the parties did not disclose the amount of the transaction. According to experts, it could amount to tens of millions of rubles.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that modern S-500 air defense systems are already being delivered to the troops, and the heavy Sarmat ICBM will be on combat duty at the end of 2022.

The Russian Armed Forces began to receive air defense systems that have no analogues in the world About the S-500 Prometheus. This was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting with graduates of Russian military schools, as quoted by Interfax.

By the end of 2022, Rosgvardiya will formulate technical requirements for the development of a serial version of the promising Marker robot, first it will patrol critical facilities, and then catch and suppress drones, a source in the military—industrial complex told RIA Novosti.

The Russian army aviation, as part of a special military operation, uses a new high-precision aviation missile "305" to destroy important military facilities. This was reported by an informed source.

The Russian high-precision missile "Product 305" allows the helicopter to hit targets without entering the enemy's air defense zone. The rocket can operate in the "fired and forgotten" mode. Military expert Alexey Leonkov told RIA Novosti about this.
