This is terrifying from a recieving end perspective...

On this day in 1964, US President Lyndon Johnson made a historic announcement that revealed the existence of the CIA's Lockheed A-12. The A-12 was a groundbreaking design that surpassed Convair's design in terms of specs, while also being more cost-effective. The CIA's representatives initially favored Convair's design for its smaller radar cross-section, but ultimately chose the A-12 for its superior performance. #LockheedA12 #AviationTechnology #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #usa

Northrop envisioned the F-20 as a dominant force in the international arms market. However, policy shifts following Ronald Reagan's election placed it in direct competition with the highly capable F-16. Facing an uphill battle, the program was ultimately scrapped in 1986 with only three fully built prototypes and a fourth unfinished. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry

U.S Army's Future Aircraft Takes Flight _________________________________ The U.S. Army has officially transitioned its forthcoming long-range aircraft from the research and development stage to the crucial phases of engineering and production. The Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) project is anticipated to be a massive undertaking valued at approximately $70 billion over its entire lifecycle, including international sales. This new aircraft is poised to replace approximately 2,000 Black Hawk utility helicopters. It's important to note that the FLRAA is not a direct replacement for existing aircraft. However, it is projected to assume the roles currently fulfilled by the Black Hawk, the Army’s longstanding workhorse for troop transportation and deployment, around the year 2030. The FLRAA, designed by Bell Flight, successfully completed preliminary design evaluations in April and received official approval from the Army's Systems Acquisition Review Council in June.

Check out this insightful article from Alexander Kott, the former Chief Scientist at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. It highlights how drones, once considered a challenge, are now creating new possibilities for military maneuvering. This shift is significant because our troops need top-notch, advanced sUAS to succeed in future conflicts. https://okt.to/2laOBw https://okt.to/ujS7k4

What was once confined to the realms of science fiction has now become a tangible reality for Soldiers. The U.S. Army has taken a significant leap forward by receiving the initial batch of 20 prototypes of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System 1.2 (IVAS 1.2). This development marks a crucial milestone in equipping Soldiers with cutting-edge technology to enhance their situational awareness and combat capabilities. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #TechnologyAdvancements #Soldiers #SituationalAwareness

The U.S. Army, as revealed at the Association of the U.S. Army’s Global Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama, is shifting its focus towards autonomous artillery systems with increased range and mobility. Gen. James Rainey of Army Futures Command highlighted plans to integrate robotics, enhance artillery rounds, and explore mobile howitzer options. Following a completed conventional fires study, the Army will prioritize extending the range of current artillery systems through innovative munitions, moving away from the Extended Range Cannon Artillery system. Autonomous and robotic cannon solutions are of particular interest for joint forcible entry formations, signaling a shift towards modernization and efficiency. #USArmy #ArtillerySystems #AutonomousWeapons #MilitaryTechnology #USArmyNews
