AI will enable drone wingmen to make autonomous decisions without centralized command.

According to Airbus, FCAS will be centered around a core Next Generation Weapon System (NGWS). In this “system of systems,” piloted New Generation Fighters will work together with Unmanned Remote Carriers – all connected to other systems in space, in the air, on the ground, at sea and in cyberspace via a data cloud called the “Combat Cloud.”

The FCAS is one more step towards the goal of achieving full collaborative combat by 2040, which can replace military systems like Rafale and Eurofighter.

Airbus says that an incremental roll-out of FCAS capabilities is planned by implementing initial situational awareness across platform capabilities in the mid-2020s.

Researchers at Cornell University have designed a novel in-suit urine collection and filtration system, or “Dune” system,” to “promote astronaut wellbeing.”

Facepalm: Crashes experienced by customers owning recent high-end Intel processors aren’t just software or BIOS-related issues. Alderon Games founder Matthew Cassells says Chipzilla has made his company’s life much more complicated than it should be. The game developer has experienced considerable Intel CPU problems, including crashes, instability, and memory corruption.

The number of people and organizations forced to experience crashes and general instability on Intel’s latest CPU models keeps growing. Now, a game developer is blatantly pointing the finger at the Santa Clara corporation and its alleged “defective” products.

“Despite all released microcode, BIOS, and firmware updates, the problem remains unresolved,” Cassells said.

Militaries have for years tinkered with armed drones, robo-dogs, mechanical mules and more.

Northrop Grumman has released a photo of the Series Hybrid Electric Propulsion AiRcraft Demonstration (SHEPARD) XRQ-73 stealth drone X-plane that it has built for DARPA and is expected to fly by the end of the year.

Part of DARPA’s X-Prime program, the XRQ-73A is a demonstrator prototype built by Northrop Grumman and Scaled Composites. The flying wing design is based on the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Great Horned Owl (GHO), an Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) program, which used a blended wing design and external ducted push propellers.

In contrast, the XRQ-73A is larger and stealthier. With a wingspan of well over 30 ft (9 m), it weighs in at 1,250 lb (567 kg) and can reach speeds of 250 kn (287 mph, 463 km/h) at an altitude of 18,000 ft (5,500 m) with a payload of 400 lb (180 kg).

Even robots are overworked.
