Gunderson Dettmer represented client Greenoaks in participating in the $487 million Series C financing of Helsing. Helsing’s three founders Niklas Köhler, Torsten Reil and Dr. Gundbert Scherf said, “European security is at a crossroads and Helsing will play a significant role in giving democratic societies the ability to deter and defend. But speed is of the essence. This new funding round allows us to further up the tempo and invest in large-scale R&D and capabilities across all domains.” Helsing creates AI software to process information from defense systems, boost weapons capabilities in drones and jet fighters and improve battlefield decisions.

Opinion | The Pentagon is learning how to change at the speed of war - The Washington Post https://lnkd.in/ecEgpmcT "What’s finally driving change is the brutal lesson of the war in Ukraine. This is a drone and satellite war: Russian and Ukrainian tanks are almost defenseless against attacks from drones overhead; Russia’s huge Navy has lost control of the Black Sea because of Ukrainian naval drones; satellites can feed precise targeting information to kill anything that algorithms designate as a weapon. But there’s a catch: The Ukraine battlefield is a blizzard of electronic warfare. So systems must be truly autonomous, able to operate without GPS or other external guidance, as I described in a recent account from Kyiv of technology developed by the software company Palantir. In makeshift weapons factories in Kyiv, and in defense labs around the United States, designers are creating systems with artificial intelligence at “the edge,” embedded in the weapons themselves, so they don’t have to depend on jammable signals from space." A glimmer of hope that we are (finally) learning the right lessons? Certainly better to learn the easy way now vs the hard way later.

#future #continuous 🔥Drones attacked an ammunition depot in Karachev, Bryansk region. The 67th Arsenal of the russian general staff of the russian armed forces covers an area of about 3.5 square kilometers (one of the closest, 114 km from the border with Ukraine). According to satellite images from 2021, some of the shells were stored in the open air. https://lnkd.in/erc2z-Hn @voynareal ℹ️ The #future #continuous tense can be used to make predictions or guesses about future events. For instance: 📌It will be coming more, I expect.

Ukraine's Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, has highlighted the changing face of warfare in a CNN article published on Jan. 31, 2024. Zaluzhnyi stressed the uniqueness of each war, shaped by tech progress, politics, and economics. Challenges for Ukraine, according to him, include diminished ally support, depleted stocks, and potential distractions of international attention from Ukraine by Russia. The key to victory, Zaluzhnyi said, is mastering modern tech, emphasizing unmanned vehicles for real-time intelligence and precision strikes. In conclusion, he stated that the main priorities for 2024 include establishing a system for high-tech asset provision to the armed forces, introducing a new philosophy for training and warfare that accommodates asset limitations, and rapidly mastering emerging combat capabilities. #WeAreUkraine #StandWithUkraine

The war in Ukraine has evolved a huge amount since it began nearly 2 years ago, not least in terms of the equipment now being used on the front lines.🇺🇦 Ukraine’s drone industry, once chaotic and decentralised, is now one of the most significant in the world. Experts are looking to Ukraine to see how drones are being used in the war, and many see their use as the future of warfare more generally. ✈ In this episode, we speak with drone expert Federico Borsari, a Leonardo fellow at the Transatlantic Defense and Security Program at the Centre of European Policy Analysis (CEPA). His work looks at Transatlantic Defense and Security dynamics with a focus on unmanned technologies and their military implications, and he has written a number of fascinating reports on how their use in Ukraine is at the forefront of innovation in the sector. 📈 Link in the comments to listen to the episode in full. 🔗

While the debate for whether or not to allow the Ukrainians to deepstrike Russian territory is ongoing, we've been doing some testing of our own with #wargaming a multiphase operation. FPV drones go in to do component damage to Air Defense before the F-16s launch MALD-J decoys and SEAD munitions, clearing a path for TU-141 and ATACMs to reach infrastructure. #F16 #ATACMs #SEAD #AirDefense #Deepstrike #MultiphaseOperation

British Army successfully tests high-powered laser weapon on vehicle for the first time A major leap forward in laser defense technology The British Army has taken a significant step towards the future of warfare with the successful test firing of a high-powered laser weapon system mounted on a combat vehicle. This groundbreaking achievement, a collaboration between Dstl, DE&S, and industry, represents a major leap forward in the UK Ministry of Defence's Land Laser Directed Energy Weapon (LDEW) Demonstrator program. The lightweight, portable laser weapon system is the first of its kind to be integrated and fired from a land vehicle in the UK. This innovative technology offers a precise, powerful, and cost-effective way to neutralize threats at distances exceeding 1km, including enemy drones. Key benefits: > Lightweight, portable, and easy to operate > Faster than light engagement > Low cost > Effective against evolving threats > Integrates with existing battle management systems This successful trial paves the way for further testing with Army personnel later this year. The Ministry of Defence and the British Army will be able to assess the real-world capabilities and benefits of this potentially game-changing technology. https://lnkd.in/eNXkNTvY #FutureofWarfare #LaserDefense #BritishArmy #PhotonicSpots #PhotonicsTimes

At the DRDO Industry Workshop on defence technology acceleration in Delhi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says, "...The form of conventional warfare that we see around us today is much different from the form it had 50-60 years ago. The arms and equipment that were used on land, in the air or the sea. Today, due to technology, you are seeing a big change in them. The impact of technology on the defence sector is not limited to conventional warfare only, rather technology has given birth to a new unconventional warfare in the defence sector. Many elements like drones, cyber warfare, bio, weapons and space defence have emerged as a challenge for the defence sector at this time. In such a situation, I believe that the way you are moving forward in the field of defence research and development will certainly make our defence sector even more powerful and strong." #bjp #privatesector #indiandefence #indianarmy #DRDOIndustryWorkshop #DRDO #technology #RedefiningWarfare Watch: https://lnkd.in/guxQBnGj
