Igor Fedirko, Executive Director of the Council of Weapon Makers, stated that Brave1 could become the first step in creating a Ukrainian analogue of DARPA, although the main obstacle remains the legislation, which does not provide for a right to fail.

🇺🇸 DARPA allocated $28 million to IonQ for the production of compact atomic clocks, Evergreen-05. The device, the size of a shoebox, ensures accuracy with an error of 1 second in 30 million years. 🕰️ The clocks are designed to operate without GPS and will become a key element of autonomous navigation and secure communications. IonQ is investing an additional $15 million to expand production.

Raytheon has resumed production of ADM-160 MALD decoy missiles capable of deceiving enemy radars. 🚀 These drones imitate the signature of combat fighters, forcing air defenses to waste ammunition on false targets. In the future, production will transition to 3D printing. 🛡️

🚀 The first space 'mechanic' robot, the MRV from Northrop Grumman, has appeared in space. It is capable of extending the life of satellites, but its technologies raise concerns due to potential military use. 🛰️ The US is already preparing a response to orbital threats, planning to deploy thousands of interceptors.
