The US Army is looking into the possibility of adding EVs to its fleet of ground vehicles. The subject of a draft white-paper, the hope is to simplify maintenance while reducing the logistical problems connected with fossil fuels.

While consumer-grade 3D printers may be adequate for making things like models or curios, they're not always up to the task of creating objects that stand up to real-world use. That could be about to change, though, thanks to a new printing filament.

The US Army has reduced its Future Attack and Reconnaissance (FARA) competition to two contenders. Bell's 360 Invictus and Sikorsky's Raider X have been okayed to proceed to the prototype phase of a new "knife fighter" small assault helicopter.

Hypersonic missiles that travel at Mach 5 and above are potential game-changers for military planners. The US Department of Defense has completed a test of its Common Hypersonic Glide Body, which will be the basis for a future class of such weapons.

Lockheed Martin's Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) hit its target with "pinpoint accuracy" during its second test at the White Sands Missile Range. The next-generation long-range missile flew 180 km (122 mi) before reaching its objective.

Boeing's design for the US Army's Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft prototype competition features an all-new, six-bladed, single-main rotor, fly-by-wire control, and a push-propeller for maneuverability and high-speed horizontal flight.

Lockheed Martin has been awarded US$31.9 million by DARPA for further development of a ground-launched hypersonic missile. The contract allows the defense company to begin the Weapon System Integration program for the boost-to-glide weapon system.

The combined American armed forces recently used a new command and control technology to identify and defeat a simulated cruise missile attack on the United States by collecting, analyzing, and sharing large amounts of data in real-time.

Lockheed Martin has completed a successful test of its Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) on the first go. Being developed for the US Army's PrSM program, the next-generation long-range missile was launched from the White Sands Missile Range.

Military personnel are often exposed to loud noises, such as when they're in helicopters. And while human soldiers wear hearing protection, the same can't be said for their "working" dogs. A new garment has been designed to address that problem.

The Ripsaw "luxury sports tank" is one of the most extreme and obnoxious vehicles we've ever laid our eyes on. But now, the technology's getting back to its military roots as a remote-controlled, multi-domain "wingman" for US Army operations.

Bell has unveiled the Bell 360 Invictus rotorcraft, as the company's entrant in the Army's Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) Competitive Prototype program.
