DefenseTech Weekly Review

This week's DefenseTech Brief covers the significant advancements in autonomous systems, the increasing strategic importance of previously less-emphasized domains, like the ocean seabed, and the urgent development of sophisticated offensive and defensive capabilities relying on drone technology. The report examines key developments across these areas, including the development and deployment of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), often referred to as drones or collaborative combat aircraft (CCA), which represent a central theme in modern air combat evolution. These platforms are envisioned as force multipliers, designed to operate alongside crewed aircraft or in massed formations, significantly impacting operational reach, survivability, and lethality.The Weekly DefenseTech Brief is published by Defense-Update
