Fox News contributor Brett Velicovich joins'Fox & Friends First' to discuss Secretary's Hegseth's sweeping Army transformation, how Russia has responded to the U.S. minerals deal with Ukraine and the military bolstering drone technology. This is how the Army will island hop in the Pacific to fend off China. And by the way, Chinese President Xi Jinping has nothing like it. With a stunning announcement, the Army did more than ax 40 generals and open the door to AI. The Army bet its future on this radical aircraft, whose engines swivel to take off and land like a helicopter, or fly high and fast like an airplane.

'The Big Weekend Show' co-hosts discuss Tinder user traffic peaking during'Dating Sunday.' A judge has dismissed kidnapping and conspiracy charges filed against five Massachusetts college students accused of luring a man to their campus in a "Catch a Predator"-style scheme using a dating app. A Worcester District Court judge dismissed the charges against Kelsey Brainard, Isabella Trudeau, Joaquin Smith, Kevin Carroll and Easton Randall on Tuesday. The decision came after lawyers for the teenage Assumption University students claimed prosecutors lacked probable cause and filed motions to dismiss last month. Information regarding the status of a sixth student, charged as a juvenile, was not immediately available.

This uniquely designed robot covers the basics of pool cleaning but not much else, and it struggles with some tasks. Smorobot is a new brand to us, but the manufacturer has seven different robotic pool cleaners already under its belt, including this one, the Smorobot Tank C1. As the name implies, this robot is intended to be a workhorse in the pool, promising a 150-minute runtime and maximum coverage of 2,500 square feet. The robot measures roughly 12 x 17 x 15 (HxWxL) inches in size and weighs 18 pounds. It's powered by a 7800mAh battery, which is on the small side for a robot of this size; but in my testing, it was invariably able to exceed its specified running time of 150 minutes, usually by about half an hour.

At Fort Sill, service members from across the military are undergoing counter-drone training at the Joint C-sUAS (Counter small Unmanned Aircraft System) University (JCU), also known as "drone university." The program has become a critical part of the Military's efforts to combat the rapidly growing use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) by adversaries. "It's the Army's premier Counter-Small UAS training institution," said Col. Moseph Sauda, the program's director. "Our mission is to prepare and train the joint force to counter the threat, to be able to understand that threat, how they operate, and how they attack us… We can then develop not only tactics, techniques, and procedures, but also the employment methodology that maximizes the capabilities of our existing systems." A 3D-printed drone flies above from Oklahoma's Fort Sill at the U.S. Army's Joint C-sUAS University.

In this section, we describe the details of MiniRTS Environment and human dataset. The data do not contain any personally identifiable information or offensive content. Figure 1: MiniRTS [2] implements the rockpaper-scissors Figure 2: Building units can produce different attack graph, each army type army units using resources. "workshop" can produce has some units it is effective against and vulnerable "archer", "dragon" and "catapult" while other to. For example, "swordman" restrains buildings can build one unit type. Only "peasant" "spearman" but is retrained by "cavarly". Game Units There are 3 kinds of units in MiniRTS, including resource units, building units, and army units. Resource Units: Resource units are stationary and neutral. Resource units cannot be constructed by anyone and are created at the beginning of a game. One mine action could gather resources from the resource units, and the mined resources are necessary to build new building units or army units.

After-action reviews (AARs) are professional discussions that help operators and teams enhance their task performance by analyzing completed missions with peers and professionals. Previous studies that compared different formats of AARs have mainly focused on human teams. However, the inclusion of robotic teammates brings along new challenges in understanding teammate intent and communication. Traditional AAR between human teammates may not be satisfactory for human-robot teams. To address this limitation, we propose a new training review (TR) tool, called the Virtual Spectator Interface (VSI), to enhance human-robot team performance and situational awareness (SA) in a simulated search mission. The proposed VSI primarily utilizes visual feedback to review subjects' behavior. To examine the effectiveness of VSI, we took elements from AAR to conduct our own TR, designed a 1 x 3 between-subjects experiment with experimental conditions: TR with (1) VSI, (2) screen recording, and (3) non-technology (only verbal descriptions). The results of our experiments demonstrated that the VSI did not result in significantly better team performance than other conditions. However, the TR with VSI led to more improvement in the subjects SA over the other conditions.

Russian and North Korean forces have made significant battlefield advances in recent days in the Kursk region of Russia, threatening Ukraine's supply lines and its hold on a patch of land it hopes to use as a bargaining chip in future negotiations, according to Ukrainian soldiers, Russian military bloggers and military analysts. Working together, a new influx of North Korean soldiers and well-trained Russian drone units, advancing under the cover of ferocious artillery fire and aerial bombardment, have been able to overwhelm important Ukrainian positions, Ukrainian soldiers said. "It's true; we can't stop them," said Oleksii, commander of a Ukrainian communications unit fighting in the area, when reached by phone. "They just sweep us away, advancing in groups of 50 North Koreans while we have only six men on our positions.

Former soldier Kyle Clifford raped and murdered Louise Hunt, and killed her sister Hannah and mother Carol in attacks described by police as "barbaric". What happened and what has emerged since? Days before the attacks, Louise had ended an 18-month relationship with Clifford. She told Clifford, who she had met through a dating app, it was "sucking the life out of me". They did not like the way Clifford treated Louise, finding him disrespectful, arrogant, rude and "odd". He had hidden relationships with other women from Louise, and went on a dating site moments after receiving the message ending theirs.

Animation shows traditional counter-drone technology vs. Epirus' Leonidas system that can take out entire swarms of drones at once. A new high-powered microwave system that can knock swarms of drones out of the sky at once is going to "touch every aspect of warfare," according to Epirus founder, Joe Lonsdale. "It's kind of like a Star Trek shield," Lonsdale, founder of Epirus and a co-founder of fast-rising defense technology company Palantir, explained of its Leonidas counter-drone system. "It's able to turn them off from very far away." "This is going to touch every aspect of warfare over the next decade," said Lonsdale.

The United States Army is employing a prototype generative artificial intelligence tool to identify references to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) for removal from training materials in line with a recent executive order from President Donald Trump. Officials at the Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC)--the major command responsible for training soldiers, developing leaders, and shaping the service's guidelines, strategies, and concepts--are currently using the AI tool, dubbed CamoGPT, to "review policies, programs, publications, and initiatives for DEIA and report findings," according to an internal memo reviewed by WIRED. The memo followed Trump's signing of a January 27 executive order entitled, "Restoring America's Fighting Force," which directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to eliminate all Pentagon policies seen as promoting what that the commander-in-chief declared "un-American, divisive, discriminatory, radical, extremist, and irrational theories" regarding race and gender, a linguistic dragnet that extends as far as past social media posts from official US military accounts. Chris Robinson confirmed the use of CamoGPT to review DEIA materials. "[TRADOC] will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President. We ensure that these directives are carried out with the utmost professionalism, efficiency, and in alignment with national security objectives," Robinson says.
