Even with the smaller profile, the Compact still accommodates a full-size pistol, keeping your valuables safe while you are not in your vehicle. “When…

LAS VEGAS—Is narrowing the scope of federal cyber defense making the country safer? A Trump‑appointed official and a former National Security Agency cybersecurity chief offered contrasting views at the Black Hat conference here on Tuesday.Marci McCarthy, who oversees public affairs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said the agency is refocusing on its “core mission” as its footprint and workforce is scaled back. But Rob Joyce, who led the National Security Agency’s cybersecurity division, argued that trimming those federal cyber functions risks leaving the U.S. exposed amid intensifying efforts by nation‑state hackers and cybercriminals.Almost one-third of the CISA’s workforce has left or been laid off since…

Tomorrow’s counter-drone systems will need to fire without human approval, Pentagon’s joint missile defense commander says. “The ability to accurately discriminate the threat, positively ID the threat, and then have the system auto-select the right interceptor or non-kinetic capability to defeat the threat is where we would definitely like to go,” Lt. Gen. Sean Gainey, the head of U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command and Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense, said Tuesday at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium. “We will push the boundaries on that, because we have to.”Drone swarms are getting too large and…

Since 2020, China is believed to have tripled its nuclear arsenal to 600 warheads—enough to begin to shift the strategic balance, if still well short of the thousands held by the United States and Russia. “China’s trying to catch up because, you know, they’re, they’re very substantially behind, but within five or six years they’ll be even,” President Trump said in February.But will they? Perhaps the biggest unknown of this new nuclear age is how many weapons Beijing will ultimately hold. Its buildup has a few logical endpoints, and by examining each possibility, observers can better understand what China is seeking.The best…

ci·pher/ˈsīfər/noun1. a secret or disguised way of writing; a code.  Anything that references keeping something secret is a clever name for a concealment holster. However, that wasn’t my first impression about the Henry Holsters Cipher holster. I used this holster in conjunction with a Heckler & Koch VP9A1 F, and as soon as I donned it, I couldn’t help but notice how comfortable the new HK VP9A1 F version carries without having to add wedges or extra peripherals to improve the fit.  To summarize the holster in one line, the Cipher is a slim, inside-the-waistband (IWB) or appendix holster (AIWB)…

The military’s largest shipbuilder is bracing for a potential “headwind” should the Navy push the next block buy of Virginia-class fast-attack submarines to next year, as lawmakers look to protect naval shipyard jobs from the Trump administration’s workforce cuts. Negotiated agreements for the Navy’s Virginia-class Block VI attack boats and Build II of the Columbia-class ballistic nuclear missile submarines are expected to wrap up later this year, HII’s CEO Chris Kastner said last week during the company’s second quarterly earnings call. “The good news is that we had a construct that was put together under Block V that we can follow as we…

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.—Future AI-enabled drone and missile defenses will need to not only rapidly detect large numbers of drones and missiles, but also be accurate and trustworthy enough to take them out without having to involve a human, the head of the Pentagon’s joint missile defense command said Tuesday.“The ability to accurately discriminate the threat, positively ID the threat, and then have the system auto-select the right interceptor or non-kinetic capability to defeat the threat is where we would definitely like to go,” Lt.
