Ballistic missile radars pushed to detect widening range of threats - Story
February 11, 2019
As adversaries develop missile technology to attack the U.S. in ways that can challenge our missile defense - such as conventional and nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles, sea-launched land-attack missiles, hypersonic weapons, and space-based missiles that orbit Earth - it's critical to have radar systems capable of providing early detection.

GAO: DoD has a pervasive weapon systems cybersecurity problem - Story
December 05, 2018
Weapon systems operated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) are more software-dependent and networked than ever before, which a new General Accounting Office (GAO) report says opens the door to mission-critical cyber vulnerabilities. The DoD intends to spend $1.66 trillion to develop its current portfolio of major weapons systems, so Congress asked the GAO to assess DoD weapon systems security in terms of its current state, vulnerabilities, and steps being taken to develop more cyberresilient weapon systems. To do this evaluation, GAO analyzed weapons systems cybersecurity test reports, policies, and guidance; what they found is disturbing: In recent cybersecurity tests of major weapons systems the DoD is developing, testers playing the role of the adversary were able to take control of systems relatively easily, cause damage quickly, and operate largely undetected.

Small sats aim to provide on-demand tactical-level imagery for warfighters - Story
November 30, 2018
Raytheon is sending a one-of-a-kind small satellite to low Earth orbit to do a proof of concept of a prototype design - originally developed for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) - to provide useful imagery directly to military users in the field.

Foreshadow: Researchers discover another Intel processor vulnerability - Story
October 03, 2018
Two international teams of security researchers have independently and concurrently discovered "Foreshadow," a new variant of the hardware vulnerability known as "Meltdown" that was announced earlier this year. Meltdown can be exploited to bypass Intel processors' secure regions to access memory and data.
