Drone warfare is terrifyingly new, and we need to figure out how to protect individuals against these soon-to-be-automated flying hand grenades. The landscape of military conflict is rapidly evolving, asymmetric threats like drones have been able to undermine the traditionally large heavy weapons systems developed for the last 50 years. Nowhere is this more evident than in Ukraine, where single FPV drone operators are able to destroy Russian military equipment worth many orders of magnitude more than their own expendable flying munitions. While vehicles equip themselves with armor netting, EM jammers, and point defense turrets, individual soldiers are still extremely vulnerable to this kind of warfare. If drones are the new rifles, what can a person do to protect themselves? I'm organizing a Defense Tech Hackathon to bring together hackers, engineers, investors, founders and defense industry personnel to ideate, co-create and deploy solutions focused on defending individuals against drone warfare, as well as general cUAS solutions. We're also developing problem statements in open source intelligence gathering for pure-software solutions to increase situational awareness and responsiveness on the battlefield.

📡 Evolution of Military Telecommunications: From WWII to Modern Warfare 🚀 Military telecommunications have transformed drastically from WWII to today's tech-driven battlefield. 1. WWII Innovations (Germany) •   Tanks: Used FuG 5 radios (27-33 MHz) for short-range communication (~4-6 km), enabling rapid Blitzkrieg tactics. 🚜📻 •   Luftwaffe: Aircraft employed FuG 16 ZY (42-48 MHz) for air-to-ground coordination up to 100 km, crucial for precision air support. 🛫🎯 •   Infantry: Relied on FuG 7 radios and field telephones, though with limited range (2-4 km). 🪖☎️ 2. Cold War and Digital Age •   Introduction of SINCGARS with frequency hopping to avoid jamming and digital encryption for secure, real-time battlefield communication. 🔒💻 •   Satellite Communication (SATCOM) expanded reach globally, integrating command across air, sea, and land. 🛰️🌍 3. Modern Era: Network-Centric Warfare •   Multi-band radios like Harris Falcon III provide voice, video, and data transmission in real-time. 📲🛠️ •   UAV/Drones with SATCOM links deliver live intelligence to command centers, revolutionizing battlefield awareness. 🛸📡 Future: AI and Quantum Encryption promise unbreakable security and real-time, adaptive networks, shaping the future of warfare. 🤖🔐

Persistent's Ecosystem Partner, Teledyne FLIR, was awarded two major contracts, worth up to $47 million, to enhance and sustain their unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for the United States Department of Defense and other government agencies. These UGVs play a crucial role in modern defense, providing robust capabilities in reconnaissance, explosive ordnance disposal, and hazardous material handling. With platforms like the #FirstLook #UGV, equipped with Persistent’s Embedded Module, Teledyne FLIR is transforming battlefield operations. This integration provides real-time audio and video from challenging environments such as urban, subterranean, and beyond-line-of-sight areas, empowering warfighters with increased situational awareness and operational safety. These advancements are critical in reducing risks for personnel and ensuring mission success in dangerous situations. Teledyne FLIR’s continued innovation in UGV technology, supported by Persistent Systems' advanced communications capabilities, is helping reshape modern military operations by making them more efficient and safer for those on the front lines.

TRENDS IN ELECTRONIC WARFARE The demand for EW systems will be driven by rapid technological advancements, focus on Directed Energy Weapons and the growing need for electronic protection capabilities Electronic Warfare (EW) is any action involving the use of the Electro-Magnetic (EM) spectrum or directing energy to control or attack an enemy or impede enemy use of EM spectrum. The purpose of EW is to deny the opponent the advantage of and ensure friendly unimpeded access to the EM spectrum. EW can be applied from air, sea, land, and space by manned and unmanned systems, and can target humans, communications, radar or other assets, military and civilian. TRENDS IN MILITARY EW Modern warfare has made impressive strides in the areas of communications, radar and surveillance. Military Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) platforms are trying to cover the spectrum from HF to Ka band, sometimes over an enormous dynamic range. All efforts are on for improving EW technologies through means such as machine learning. While cognitive EW is a work in progress, the miniaturisation and density of electronics components continue to increase. If cooling technology keeps up, this will drive Radio Frequency (RF) system functional consolidation and enhance sensor performance. EW systems will also become a lot smarter. Expects future systems will be looking at more complex data sets, including in the context of signals. (https://lnkd.in/du6Y324r)
