“Conflicts Are Multiplying”: U.N. Chief Warns of #World at #War as General #Assembly Kicks Off
Secretary-General António Guterres: “Conflicts are raging and multiplying, from the #MiddleEast to #Ukraine and #Sudan, with no end in sight. Our collective security system is threatened by geopolitical divides, nuclear posturing and the development of new weapons and theaters of war. Resources that could bring opportunities and hope are invested in death and destruction.”

Pattern of #Brain Damage Is Pervasive in #Navy #SEALs Who Died by #Suicide
The vast majority of blast exposure for Navy SEALs comes from firing their own #weapons, not from #enemy action. The damage pattern suggested that years of training intended to make SEALs exceptional was leaving some barely able to function.
...
At least a dozen Navy SEALs have died by suicide in the past 10 years, either while in the #military or shortly after leaving. A grassroots effort by grieving families delivered eight of their brains to the lab, an investigation by The New York Times has found. And after careful analysis, researchers discovered blast damage in every single one.

As it features man-in-the-loop fire control, it will alert the operator once a target has been identified, letting the human decide whether to engage or not.

Another US precision-guided #weapon has apparently been foiled by Russian electronic warfare, a #Pentagon official said.
The munition, which was rapidly developed and transported to #Ukraine, is just the latest to fail in combat, highlighting the growing challenge of countering cheap Russian jamming tactics.
Last week, William LaPlante, the undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, said a new version of a US precision weapon had failed to hit Russian targets partially because of Russian electronic warfare. LaPlante told a Center for Strategic and International Studies panel that the ground-launched weapon, a version of an air-to-ground system, had been quickly developed and deployed to Ukraine after relatively limited safety testing and little operational testing.
Once the weapon arrived in Ukraine, "it didn't work for multiple reasons," LaPlante said. Those included electromagnetic interference and complications from launching the weapon on the ground. "It just didn't work," he said.
If this weapon did fail, it would not be the first US precision-guided weapon foiled by Russian electronic warfare. The Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, a valuable weapon for Ukraine that can be fired from its US-provided High-Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, and Joint Direct Attack Munitions have both been reported to repeatedly fail because of Russian jamming.
In December, Lt. Gen. Antonio Aguto said electronic warfare directed at some of "our most precise capabilities is a challenge."
In March, Daniel Patt, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, told Congress the GPS-guided Excalibur artillery shells "had a 70% efficiency rate hitting targets when first used in Ukraine" but that "after six weeks, efficiency declined to only 6% as the Russians adapted their electronic-warfare systems to counter it."

Minigun-Armed #Mojave #Drone Now Blasting Targets At 6,000 Rounds Per Minute

The DAP-6-armed Mojave engaged multiple ground targets in seven strafing runs across two separate sorties on April 13, according to a press release and accompanying video, seen below, that General Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) put out today. At one point in the video, a Chevy pickup truck is seen exploding. The 7.62x51mm rounds that a #Minigun fires are not explosive, but the truck could've been rigged with explosives or fuel inside of it could have ignited.
#NYC #subway testing out weapons detection #technology, Mayor Adams says

The technology-loving mayor is seeking bids from tech companies around the globe, but he had #police demonstrate one system in which a red box appears on an iPad if there's a #weapon, and shows where it is.
The problem with fully autonomous weapons is that every leader has always had to take into account the possibility of losing his own soldiers and having to justify it. But if you send robots or drones into battle, that's just metal and it could lower the inhibition threshold for future conflicts.

In a year when AI has dominated the headlines around the globe, this element of the conflict has gone curiously under-examined. Given the myriad practical and ethical #questions that continue to surround the #technology, Israel should be pressed on how it’s deploying AI.

#Netanyahu showed Elon Musk a crib filled with Israeli gun casings during a tour of purported #Hamas atrocities on 27 Nov
“[The Israelis] claimed that the crib was ‘left in the middle of [the 7 Oct] Hamas attack with the child inside’. When examining the images, there is no damage to the cradle [...] The shell casings are 7.62x51 ammunition of the MG3, which is the secondary #weapon (machine gun) of the #Merkava tanks. Parts of the #ammunition belt (chain) of the machine gun are clearly visible.”

Note: These casings could be for Israeli infantry machine guns. We simply quoted the above

The ballistic missile was launched from #Yemen by the #Iran - backed #Houthis, and flew almost 1,000 miles over the Arabian peninsula on the way to its target, the Israeli port city of #Eilat.
