This is the SG-1 Fathom, an autonomous undersea glider equipped with advanced AI to detect and track subsurface threats.

An example of how Atlantic Bastion's new generation of underwater defence technology will defend our waters.

A new era of threat demands that we invest and innovate.

This afternoon @johnhealey_mp opened a new @HelsingAI drone factory in Plymouth, as we confirm that 13 sites have been identified for new munitions and energetics factories across the UK – creating 1,000 new jobs.

[Helsing @HelsingAI]

Over the past few months Helsing’s next-generation loitering munition HX-2, has been tested by soldiers across four different countries in military-led field tests. The strike drone is autonomous with a human on the loop, and compatible with different warheads.

[Helsing @HelsingAI]

.@HelsingAI and Blue Ocean are combining forces. Together we will enhance AI-driven autonomous systems like our SG-1 further to counter growing subsea threats for European navies and AUKUS members.

We did warn you that it would be epic!! 🤯

For the first time in over 10 years a Royal Navy T23 Frigate has berthed outboard of Belfast on the Thames - right in the heart of the capital!

What a day for us and thank you to everyone who came out to support 🙏

[Vice Admiral Andrew Burns @VAdmAndrewBurns]

Delighted to support the launch of Helsing’s maritime partnership with @QinetiQ, Blue Ocean Systems & @Ocean__Infinity. AI & autonomy are central to @RoyalNavy modernisation against increasing undersea threats, including to Critical Undersea Infrastructure.

Betty Webb MBE, Bletchley Park and ATS veteran, an exceptional person who grew in old age, has died aged 101.

Betty was the very best. I was lucky enough to hold her hand yesterday as she gently glided to another place. She is one of the most remarkable woman I have ever known

Excellent summary by former head of MI6, Sir Alex Younger, of this new era in geopolitics…adapt or die

Impressive: 25-year-old FPV drone pilot Tymofiy Orel of the 47th Mechanized Brigade has been awarded the Order of the “Golden Star” and the title of Hero of Ukraine.

Between January and May 2024, he achieved remarkable battlefield success, eliminating 434 enemy personnel, wounding 346, and destroying 42 tanks, 44 BMPs, 10 MT-LBs, and 28 BTR/APCs.

Reports that Serbia (aided by Vladimir Putin) may invade Kosovo are credible. This obviously increases the risk of a wider conflict in Europe. It underlines how serious situations can erupt out of nowhere. When the unthinkable becomes unavoidable, we go to war with the armed forces we have not those we would ideally like. I wonder what else needs to happen before we start to expand our military capabilities.

@nicholadrummond It’s a bit of a bizarre article. Aside from the fact I’ve never heard OCCAR abbreviated to OJAC… the notion the UK (sorry… Royal Army) would be against Qatar buying Boxer… and other logic that just doesn’t ring true. What’s the article trying to achieve? 😂

[Alexander Stephenson @XStephenson]

Put on quite the show! Fantastic as always.

Two years ago, russia started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We are grateful to every country, leader, and person who has stood—and continues to stand—with Ukraine. We will win.

[Royal Navy @RoyalNavy]

Routine pre-sailing checks yesterday identified an issue with a coupling on @HMSQNLZ starboard propeller shaft. As such, the ship will not sail on Sunday.

@HMSPWLS will take her place on NATO duties and will set sail for Exercise Steadfast Defender as soon as possible.
