China and Russia lead the hypersonic arms race with operational missiles and hypersonic glide vehicles capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons. The U.S. is rapidly catching up with its adversaries and several hypersonic weapon tests are being carried out by the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force. The early procurement of the hypersonic weapon is even more important for the U.S. after North Korea claimed to have tested its own hypersonic missile. With the emerging threats in the region, Japan and South Korea have also paced their hypersonic research programs.

India is about to launch its second nuclear- powered submarine capable of firing ballistic missiles, the INS Arighat. This represents a major step forward for its sea-based defenses. Also, the government has given the go-ahead to build six more nuclear submarines. This decision will make India's navy even stronger. These actions improve India's ability to deter threats and boost its naval power in the Indo-Pacific area.

Until recently, neither China’s submarines – nor its anti-submarine warfare (ASW) systems – appeared especially capable. But mindful of the threat posed by American submarines, the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is beefing up its sub-killing systems. #submarine #navalsystems #navy #naval #china #russia #warfare #geopolitical #dod #taiwan #japan #australia

???? Northrop Grumman has won the $3.5-billion competition to develop the US Navy’s next nuclear command, control, and communications aircraft. The?decision?grants Northrop and its partners the contract to deliver the E-130J “Doomsday Plane,” which will replace the E-6B Mercury in the Navy’s TACAMO (Take Charge and Move Out) mission. The TACAMO mission aims to ensure reliable, survivable, and enduring communication between the National Command Authority and US nuclear forces in emergencies. “Our performance on Navy programs like the E-2D and E-6B prove we deliver on what we promise, and we will bring this expertise in helping the Navy deliver the E-130J on time and optimized for this strategically important mission,”?said?Jane Bishop, Northrop’s Vice President and General Manager for Global Surveillance. #military #army #defense #defenseindustry #security #usnavy #aviation

?????????? Australia and the UK?have announced?advancements in the AUKUS program to deliver a nuclear-powered submarine fleet for the Royal Australian Navy. The?Australian Submarine Agency,?BAE Systems, and ASC Pty Ltd have agreed to collaborate on construction planning, supply chain coordination, and workforce training for the first AUKUS nuclear-powered attack submarine. ASC CEO?Stuart Whiley?called the agreement an “important step in establishing a sovereign nuclear submarine build capability in Australia.” #military #army #defense #defenseindustry #security #aukus #submarines

Assuming we are currently at DEFCON 3, are we now headed to DEFCON 2? The U.S. elevated the Strategic Air Command to DEFCON 2 during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. It was the highest DEFCON level reached so far by the U.S. military. DEFCON 1 refers to maximum military readiness — it is thought that?forces with a DEFCON level of 1 are kept ready for immediate action at all times. DEFCON 1 is reserved for the absolute most dangerous, severe situations, including imminent or ongoing nuclear war involving the US or one of its allies.

I honestly wonder why the #DepartmentofDefense especially the #Navy doesn't have a pipeline with Trade Schools. There is no difference in my view if you are paying for an officers training at the Naval Academy, Nuclear, or Special Warfare Pipelines to paying the tuition of #Tradesmen and then becoming GS personnel. The sheer amount we rely on GS's already makes sense when its jobs that should not have high turnover. However, as we keep learning with every new inked contract, that company contracted turned over most of its contracted personnel from the las equivalent contract they did to increase profit margin.

Am thrilled to announce that I have completed the certificate on ? Naval competition in the Indian Ocean Region??. Understanding things on Nuclear weaponized Submarines and nuclear missiles and vessels and how it works in Indian Ocean Region (IOR). And how it connects the major players or state actors like India,China and Pakistan into it. Indian Ocean plays a major role in maritime cause and issues with marine attacks and deterrence through friendly States. #navy #submarines #nuclearweapons #missiles #INS #maritimesecurity #navalsecurity #indiannavy

The Typhoon-class submarine, also known as Project 941 Akula, holds the distinction of being the largest submarine ever constructed. Designed and built by the Soviet Union for the Soviet Navy, this nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine is a marvel of engineering. Measuring approximately 175 meters (574 feet) in length and 23 meters (75 feet) in width, the Typhoon-class features a multi-hulled design with five inner hulls, enhancing its structural integrity and survivability. Its unique appearance includes a sail positioned behind the missile silos, giving it a menacing profile. #defense #defence #military #ship #ships #naval #marines #maritime #vessel #militarytechnology #technology #technologies #navy #defenseindustry #defensetechnology #submarine #submarines #nuclear
