The line between smart glasses and AI automation is blurring faster than a 4K display.
[Sponsored] The era of uncontested GPS dominance is over. As counterspace threats and electronic warfare redefine the battlefield, learn how Exail’s Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) technology provides the high-end stability and autonomous “source of truth” required for land maneuver and precision fires in GNSS-denied environments.
Zones and Trajectories on the Autonomy Plane
The MESA vehicle is designed for both logistics and casualty evacuation operations up to the “last tactical mile.”
Power asymmetries have consistently driven the pursuits of egalitarian ideals. Some of them had lasting consequences: Athenian democratic reforms, the Gracchi brother's land reforms in Ancient Rome, the Venetian republic, the Peasants revolt in the Middle Ages, and the French Revolution are just a few examples.[1]
Power asymmetries tend to find new shapes and forms, which are difficult to detect…
The first cohesion spectrum was simple and formed a nice acronym, CABIN. It had some zones right. It also had serious issues, but exposing them was helpful in this journey. When trying to find solutions for them, I realized two things. One is that I need to account for both the autonomy cost and autonomy gain of being within a particular coordination regime. After some iterations, it got…
Havelsan, VN maritime and Piloda Defence “are targeting the signing of the first purchase order in the first half of 2026.”
OpenAI has fixed two flaws in its AI stack that could allow AI agents to move sensitive data in unintended ways.
The issues, disclosed by researchers at BeyondTrust and Check Point Research, affect the OpenAI Codex coding agent and ChatGPT’s code execution environment, respectively. One enabled GitHub token theft through command injection, while the other exposed a hidden channel for silently…
The Air Force’s nascent Collaborative Combat Aircraft program is beating former Secretary Frank Kendall’s goal of producing drone wingmen at about one-third the cost of an F-35, an official leading the effort said March 25.

The Leonidas Autonomous Ground Vehicle consists of a commercial Ford F600 model truck tricked out with Kodiak’s autonomous driving software and Eprius’ high-power microwave (HPM) c-UAS platform.
The H-60Mx Black Hawk has been in the works for over a decade and derived from DARPA’s ALIAS program.
The viability and welfare of socio-technical systems depend on their ability to balance autonomy and cohesion.
Is that true for other systems? Yes, it is remarkably universal. It works for biological systems like bacteria or elephants and social systems like packs of wolves, termites or beehives. This series focuses on socio-technical systems such as organizations, governments, and…

Every AI agent that persists across sessions needs some document that tells it who it is. Call it SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, a self-document — the name varies, the function doesn't. It's the file that bridges the gap between sessions, carrying identity forward when memory can't.
These documents are the most consequential artifacts in agent governance right now, and almost nobody is talking about how…

Last year Forterra was also awarded a contract to integrate its autonomy stack, dubbed AutoDrive, into the JLTVs for the ROGUE Fires program.
Why can't their value be rooted in mutuality rather than transactionality?
The foundations for digital sovereignty are baked into the internet.
