In recent months, the United States Navy has been working at a fever pitch to find ways to bridge the operational gap between the anti-ship missiles fielded by near-peer competitors like China and the fuel ranges of America’s carrier-based aircraft. The effort has included adding supplementary fuel tanks to the fuselage of Super Hornets, developing […]
Back in January, an uncharacteristically secretive SpaceX Falcon 9 launch that was meant to ferry a classified billion dollar satellite into orbit apparently went wrong. Now it appears the fault may have been on Northrop Grumman, the company that built the satellite. The payload, referred to as Zuma, failed to deploy properly once in orbit, […]
As reports broke about what appears to be yet another chemical weapons attack carried out against civilians by Bashar al Assad’s Syrian regime, questions immediately began to rise about an American response. President Trump has already demonstrated a willingness to use kinetic force against Syrian assets believed to be responsible for chemical weapon attacks, and […]
Last month, Lockheed Martin released artists renderings of their intended entry into the Navy’s contract competition for a carrier-based drone refueler that could help extend the range of the Navy’s aircraft. Impressive as the images were, Lockheed’s pitch remains little more than images and promises regarding what their drone’s capabilities will be. Promises not withstanding, […]

Yet another deadly crash on Friday evening brought the total number of American service members to die during routine aircraft operations last week to seven, as a rash of recent incidents have reignited concerns about the dismal state of readiness the U.S. military has found itself in. An AH-64E Apache crashed at approximately 9:50 p.m. […]
The debate between AK-47s and AR-15s is perhaps a bit more civil than the digital spats between the likes of Glock fanboys and 1911 historians in your Facebook newsfeed, but there are certainly some similarities. Arguments about stopping power, reliability, and accuracy get touted about by both sides in such generalized and exaggerated ways that […]
An alleged chemical weapons attack in the rebel-controlled Syrian town of Douma has claimed the lives of at least 70 people, prompting the United States to issue a slew of new threats leveled at Syrian President Bashar al Assad and his primary military ally, Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Seventy people suffocated to death and hundreds […]
For many of us that are into fitness, our physical interests tend to have a way of bleeding over into our digital leisure time. We “like” pages on Facebook, follow athletes on Twitter, and share our own fitness journey on social media through pictures, statuses, or, if you’re like me… complaining incessantly about how much […]
On Monday, a SpaceX Falcon 9 departed from Florida with three tons of supplies, equipment, and new experiments for the crew of the International Space Station. As is often the case, the manifest included a few unusual things – including human sperm to be used in experiments regarding human reproduction in microgravity. One such experiment, […]
Knowing your opponent is one of the key differences between competitive fighting and the good old fashioned sort you may find behind your local bar. Fighters size one another up, establish strategies based on strengths and weaknesses, and approach their fight with a tailor made game plan specifically designed to pick one enemy apart – […]
The United States Navy successfully test fired two 130,000 pound nuclear capable ballistic missiles from an Ohio Class submarine off the coast of Southern California last week.
