Devices to launch and control cyber, electronic and information attacks are being tested and refined by the U.S. military and industry in preparation for moving out of the laboratory and into the warfighter's backback.
It's a part of a technology race that is already well underway. The Russian attack on Georgia last year showed weaknesses in some combat areas, but not in cyberwarfare, say U.S. analysts.

Additional airborne satellite communications systems for USAF
Boeing has announced that it has received a $3.4 million follow-on contract to provide the U.S. Air Force with 46 additional Combat Track II airborne satellite communications systems.
Boeing has delivered nearly 500 Combat Track II kits to the Air Force since 2001 in an ongoing effort to provide airborne intelligence systems for cargo and bomber aircraft that enhance situational awareness, increase aircrew survivability and improve airframe effectiveness. The total value of the systems currently in use is approximately $38 million.

Metal Storm Launches New MAUL Weapon
Metal Storm Incorporated (MSI) has announced today that it is launching its latest lightweight weapon system, the GLH1851 Multi-shot Accessory Under-barrel Launcher (MAUL(tm)), at the International Infantry and Joint Services Small Arms System Symposium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The MAUL(tm) is an ultra-light shotgun attachment that fits under the barrel of an individual combat weapon, including the M-4 and M-16 rifles. It provides a range of less lethal, lethal and door breaching capabilities as an integrated, lightweight accessory to the user's main combat weapon.

The New Onboard Systems Tell-All Know-It-Alls
In September 2007, Gulfstream announced PlaneConnect, a system option for PlaneView, the Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite configured for Gulfstream, in which a central maintenance computer (CMC) begins to record fault codes or exceedances from aircraft components from the moment of weight-off-wheels, then automatically radios the information to the ground when the airplane begins a descent to its destination. By July 2008, about nine months after the initial announcement, some 10,000 downlinks had been received from 135 large-cabin aircraft (currently G350 through G550).

Planning Begins for F136 Flight Tests
The General Electric/Rolls-Royce team developing the F136 alternate engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has begun flight clearance work for the start of the test program in early 2011, despite being targeted for cancellation for the third time in the latest U.S. defense budget.
The GE-RR team met formally with Lockheed Martin, the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO), the U.S. Air Force and Navy at Evendale, Ohio, for flight-clearance technical review meetings May 13-14. The meetings coincided with the resumption of tests on the F136 at GE’s Altitude Test Cell 43 in Evendale, following modifications to the bearing system.
