Army Evaluates Advanced Electronic Warfare Concepts at Project Convergence

During the latest Project Convergence exercise, the U.S. Army tested several evolving electronic warfare (EW) concepts aimed at enhancing battlefield signal detection, processing, and deployment. The initiative seeks to improve the Army's ability to operate in contested electromagnetic environments by refining how EW signals are managed and employed during operations.

🌍 Situation Report

• F-35 Partner Nations Emphasize Spare Parts Amid Control Concerns

  Nations operating the F-35 fighter jet are increasingly focusing on securing spare parts to ensure operational readiness. This emphasis comes amid discussions about the U.S.'s ability to control or limit the use of these aircraft through embedded software systems, often referred to as "kill switches." While the U.S. dismisses these concerns, partner countries are taking proactive measures to mitigate potential risks. ​

• Poland and South Korea Establish Guided Missile Production Joint Venture

  South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace and Poland's WB Group have signed an agreement to create a joint venture for producing CGR-080 guided missiles in Poland. These missiles are compatible with the K239 Chunmoo rocket artillery system, which Poland has already acquired. The collaboration aims to bolster Poland's defense manufacturing capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers. ​

• U.S. Army Considers Adopting USMC's Tomahawk Missile-Launching Drone Truck

  The U.S. Army is evaluating the U.S. Marine Corps' new uncrewed 4×4 vehicle capable of launching Tomahawk cruise missiles. This platform offers a more mobile and flexible alternative to the Army's existing larger missile launch systems, potentially enhancing rapid deployment capabilities in various operational scenarios. ​
