What are CCAs and why US defense is focusing on that? Collaborative combat aircraft (commonly known as CCAs) is US program for unmanned combat air vehicles that is considered broadly equivalent to a loyal wingman. These unmanned aircrafts pair up with the Fighter jets. They can carry different payloads according to the mission requirements. Companies like General Atomics Aeronautical Systems and Anduril Industries are developing XQ-67A and Fury. --- If you like defense tech content, subscribe to our channel https://lnkd.in/debZafh6 where I share stories of Deep Tech Startups reshaping our future.

Lithium mining holds the key to the future of world power. The US is home to the largest known lithium deposit in the world, but we're barely using it. The game changer might be a process known as "direct lithium extraction". We are changing the way mining was done before. Driven by the surge in electric vehicle production, the demand for critical minerals like lithium, nickel, and cobalt has increased by over 50% in the past five years. Here's the challenge: the U.S. still does not have such developed extraction of these energy sources, unlike China, which dominates the market. To change this, the U.S. is investing in innovation in states like Wyoming and Nevada, where they discovered some of the largest reserves of lithium in the world. Opening a new mine can take over 10 years, from discovery to production. That’s why the race is on to find faster and more efficient ways to mine and process these minerals. We are on the brink of a new era in the minerals industry, where efficiency and sustainability meet to drive the green energy revolution. These changes promise to transform not just how we extract minerals but how we live, power our machines, and protect our planet.
