18 Jul 24. Kromek’s Radiation Detector Selected by Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service. Kromek, the designer and manufacturer of radiological and biological detectors, based in Sedgefield, Co. Durham, announced that its D3M radiation detector has been selected by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service under Lot 6 of the Detection, Identification and Monitoring (DIM) Equipment Uplift contract on the UK’s National Resilience Framework. The Framework, which supports all blue light services, is scheduled to be in place for four years and an initial order has already been placed specifically for the DIMS vehicles.
The D3M is a combined gamma/neutron Personal Radiation Detector with superior sensitivity and offers unprecedented situational awareness, constantly monitoring the radiological and nuclear environment. It is able to detect even shielded fissile or Special Nuclear Material and its lightweight design and small form function means that it can be body-worn or pocket-carried by first responders, without adding to their equipment load.
The D3M displays both the current and accumulated dose rates and features an ultra-low false alarm rate – over six times better than the ANSI standard – allowing first responders to operate safely and efficiently in critical situations. Spectral data is saved on the device’s internal storage for secondary adjudication.
Additionally, the D3M can be connected to a phone and Kromek’s ID app, which allows the D3M to not only detect radioisotopes but also identify the source. The networking capability of this pairing allows the D3M to integrate into any existing system, enabling multiple detectors to be monitored from a single hub with automatic alerts and information sent instantly for comprehensive situational awareness.
Commenting on Kromek’s win, Craig Duff, Commercial Director, said: “we are delighted to have been selected by Merseyside Fire and Rescue Services, acting on behalf of the National Fire Chiefs’ Council, to provide detectors for the DIMS contract. Our devices are designed to be particularly user-friendly and require minimal training. The D3M can ensure the safety and security of first responders and will help them to identify potential radiological threats around the United Kingdom as quickly as possible.”
19 Jul 24. FREQUENTIS Drone-Based CBRN Detection System Advances European Defence. In a landmark achievement to strengthen European security, CNS Solutions & Support, as a member of the Frequentis Group, has announced the completion of the CBRN Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (RSS).
In response to evolving threats, the Frequentis Group has developed an innovative data fusion cell (DFC) to integrate sensor and uncrewed systems data, through its incident crisis management (ICM) technology. The DFC serves as a centralised hub, seamlessly integrating information from various sources including sensors and drones, therefore enabling comprehensive analysis and rapid decision- making.
“Our DFC has transformed CBRN defence in Europe, empowering military personnel with real-time intelligence to respond swiftly and effectively to emerging threats,” Peter Skiczuk, Frequentis Vice President Defence.
“CNS is dedicated to enhancing CBRN defence technologies. Future phases will focus on readiness for full military deployment, ensuring continued security for European nations”
says Stefan Ringsmuth, Managing Director of CNS Solutions & Support GmbH.
The adoption of state-of-the-art technologies, including drones equipped with sensors and uncrewed robotic vehicles heralds a new era in CBRN defence. These uncrewed assets swiftly detect and assess hazardous substances, mitigating risks to human personnel. By leveraging data fusion and real-time analysis, commanders gain critical insights to make informed decisions, ensuring the safety of both military personnel and civilians.
“Normally, it would take us two hours to achieve this result. With the use of these modern technologies, we can reduce this time to 40 to 45 minutes, and we don’t have to bring soldiers directly to the source of danger, as this is taken over by robots and drones,”
says Colonel Schlechter, Commander of the CBRN Defence Center/Austria (ÖBH). (Source: UAS VISION)
16 Jul 24. Teal Group’s Market Overview, published in its new Military C4I & EW Systems Briefing, forecasts the 10-year market for UAV/Drone SIGINT & Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) Systems to be worth $31bn over the next decade. Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) has become not only a primary focus of electronic warfare (EW) over the past decade or two, but it now garners genuine “A-list” funding for UAVs as well as manned airborne platforms. SIGINT had a relatively low profile among manned EW programs in the Cold War, while jammers and radar and missile warning systems received most of the attention and funding. But that changed with the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the threat continues today from non-state actors worldwide – new geographies of conflict resulted in changing needs.
Now again forecast to be a major market in the future – as it was in the past – is electronic attack (EA), including Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD). With the 21st century iteration of the Cold War’s near-peer threats (still Russia and China), many EA systems are either planned for, already aboard (as classified programs), or will soon be shifted to UAVs – especially stealthy Unmanned Combat UAVs (UCAVs). We include current and speculative UCAV EA program forecasts, including classified programs.
By 2020, most of the biggest SIGINT programs of record for UAVs were already well-established, with production underway in most cases or with first generation system production already complete. Despite this relative maturity, Teal Group forecasts the SIGINT market (when excluding UAV and UCAV EA) to continue to grow strongly, from $1.3bn in FY23 to $3.1bn in FY32, with a solid 10.3% CAGR.
But if production of EA systems for US Navy/Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force UCAV and UAV programs – including likely classified programs – is going ahead as we forecast, we see EA funding growing even more substantially than SIGINT as production ramps up – more than tripling from $520m in FY23 to $1.7bn in FY32, with a whopping 13.9% CAGR.
Regarding market segments, treated in detail in the new Briefing, delays and program cancellations and truncations (Global Hawk) have limited production of all major planned endurance UAV SIGINT programs so far. The plans of a few years ago, for major unclassified UAV SIGINT fleets for all services, have not yet been realized. The UAV SIGINT market will continue to grow steadily over the next few years, but perhaps without dominant unclassified programs.
Instead, much as Teal Group forecasts for the future of other UAV sensor markets, classified Combat UCAV and tactical/mini/ nano-UAV markets will provide the highest-growth markets and the largest markets in the out-years of our forecast. But as is evident from a close reading of our forecast charts and graphs (see the Briefing), the SIGINT component of this growth will remain steadier and more stable, even when including speculative classified funding forecasts. Production numbers of UCAVs will likely not be large this decade, and UCAV SIGINT systems may be less expensive than systems already in service on ISR HALE/MALE UAVs. Small Tactical, Mini-, and nano-UAVs will increasingly provide close-in tactical SIGINT for the soldier, but much funding will be for basic research and miniaturization of simple capabilities.
Instead, the electronic attack (EA) market for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) and strike UCAVS will see major funding; it will grow from a very small market a few years ago to a dominant market later this decade. This represents a shift back to traditional electronic warfare (EW) funding as discussed above – manned-equivalent systems and funding for more traditional air strike missions versus near-peer opponents such as Russia or China. Most of these programs will remain classified, but our funding forecasts in line with legacy manned EA programs will see the UCAV EA market grow from just $186m in FY16 to almost $1.1bn forecast in FY30 – when we forecast full-rate production will have ramped up for the classified USAF SEAD/Strike UCAV.
Market shares and access are difficult to forecast with such a large “black” share of the total market. But with Airborne Signals Intelligence Payload (ASIP) aboard some US Air Force Global Hawks, with ASIP QRC systems aboard many other non-classified USAF endurance UAVs (Reaper), and with an ASIP derivative possibly nearing or in production for future Triton SIGINT UAVs, Northrop Grumman will remain important in the contracted, unclassified UAV SIGINT market, with at least $210 m in prime contractor funding in the next 10 years.
But Teal Group forecasts the new leader in the UAV SIGINT & EA market from FY23-FY32 will be Lockheed Martin with the US Army’s Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW) system that will, “provide Maneuver Commanders with an organic airborne offensive Electronic Warfare (EW) capability.” The MFEW Air Large (MFEW-AL) system will be installed on the Army’s MQ-1 Gray Eagle MALE UAV to provide Offensive Electronic Attack (OEA) and Electronic Warfare Support (ES). This program should be worth nearly $700 m to Lockheed Martin.
However, the Top Six prime contractors for UAV SIGINT & EA discussed in Teal Group’s Military C4I & EW Systems Briefing frankly show measly funding amounts from FY23-FY32 – due to the dominance of classified programs with unknown competitors, suppliers, and primes. Despite our also speculative “Other” forecast line for already contracted but unknown prime contractors, our “Available” funding forecast will comprise between 81% and 92% of the UAV SIGINT & EA market annually from FY23 through FY32, worth between $1.5bn and $4.5bn annually – totaling $27 bn in still-available funding in our forecast period.

16 Jul 24. Global: New backdoor points to elevated espionage, security risks from Iranian-sponsored groups. On 15 July, the cyber security company Check Point Research revealed that the Iranian state-sponsored group ‘MuddyWater’ is targeting global organisations with a new backdoor called ‘BugSleep’. The campaign has targeted specific sectors (including government organisations and media outlets) in India, Israel, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The group obtains access to targeted systems via phishing emails. BugSleep is then downloaded onto compromised systems via legitimate file-sharing services, subsequently collecting sensitive information and executing additional commands. Notably, the backdoor contains several endpoint detection and response (EDR) evasion techniques; it can also inject itself into applications, highlighting the sophistication of the group’s tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). In this campaign, MuddyWater uses more generalised phishing lures that are often written in English, pointing to a wider target pool. We assess that this underscores the elevated security and espionage risks facing global organisations stemming from Iranian state-sponsored actors, especially as geopolitical tensions involving Tehran persist.

15 Jul 24. U.S., Singapore Cooperate on Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence. Today, the Defense Department’s chief digital and artificial intelligence officer and Singapore’s deputy secretary for technology signed a new statement of intent for data analytics and artificial intelligence cooperation, said Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III.
Austin hosted an enhanced honor cordon and meeting welcoming Singapore’s Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen to the Pentagon.
This statement of intent will strengthen interoperability and promote the responsible use of AI, Austin said.
Austin noted some key bilateral cooperation items.
Singapore is one of 29 countries currently participating in the Rim of the Pacific, or RIMPAC, exercise in Hawaii, the secretary said.
About 25,000 personnel are participating in that exercise, which started June 26 and ends Aug. 2.
Austin thanked Ng for hosting leaders and senior military officials from nations in the Indo-Pacific region in late May and early June at the annual International Institute for Strategic Studies’ Shangri-La Dialogue.
Also in May, the two nations signed an important memorandum of understanding on defense innovation, he said.
“This will help both of our countries to source cutting-edge technology quickly and effectively,” Austin said.
In December, both nations finalized a supply chain security arrangement and are taking steps to strengthen its resiliency, he said.
Both militaries continue to train together across all domains: land, sea, air, space and cyber. And both nations have a shared vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific, Austin said.
“Singapore remains one of our most valued defense partners, and I’m proud that our defense partnership keeps growing stronger,” the secretary said.
Ng thanked Austin for his leadership of DOD and for strengthening partnerships. (Source: U.S. DoD)
15 Jul 24. Global: Data breach sustains elevated information theft, reputational risks via software supply chain. On 12 June, international news outlets reported that cyber threat actors targeted the telecommunications provider AT&T, instigating a data breach between May and October 2022. The breach affected nearly 109 m customers, exposing information pertaining to the duration and dates of phone calls and the phone numbers of service users. The threat actors reportedly hijacked AT&T’s account for the third-party IT cloud services provider Snowflake using stolen credentials. Although no sensitive information was stolen, there is a realistic possibility that threat actors could correlate metadata to reveal customers’ identities for future fraud activities. This highlights the role of third-party software vulnerabilities in sustaining security risks. In May, the cyber criminal group ‘UNC5537’ hijacked several Snowflake customer accounts to steal sensitive information, highlighting cyber criminals’ ongoing exploitation of third-party providers as initial attack vectors. Since April, unauthorised access attempts using stolen credentials have increased, amplifying security and reputational risks via the software supply chain. (Source: Sibylline)
15 Jul 24. Helsing bring AI capabilities to Estonia in strategic expansion. Greater autonomy is needed to operate UAS carrying warheads posing a considerable, asymmetric threat to expensive, protected platforms.
After talks on the fringes of the Nato summit in Washington, the German defence and artificial intelligence (AI) company Helsing approached Estonia’s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas to discuss its strategic expansion to Nato’s eastern flank on 11 July 2024.
As well as the establishment of Helsing Estonia OÜ, and its plans to equip Estonian Defence with necessary AI capabilities, the company extended its commitment with a pledge to invest €70m ($76.2m) in the Baltic defence industry over the next three years.
Kallas had previously announced the development of a national defence industrial park, efforts to amend legislation for the production of arms, and the creation of a new defence industry fund with an initial size of €50m on 24 May in the lead-up to the latest strategic move.
“The changed security situation in Europe has clearly shown the need for greater defence investments and has also highlighted the current bottlenecks in the defence sector,” she stated in her May speech at Stenbok House in Tallinn. “For defence companies to be able to create new solutions, they need the money and the infrastructure to do so.”
Notably, on the same day that Helsing Estonia was announced, the German company revealed it had raised €450m in a Series C financing round. The funds will be used for product development and research and development with a particular focus on capabilities to secure European sovereignty including protecting Nato’s eastern flank.
“This new funding round allows us to further up the tempo and invest in large-scale [research and development] and capabilities across all domains,” affirmed Helsing co-CEO Dr. Gundbert Scherf.
Europe’s collective defence
Particularly, Helsing Estonia will offer the wider Baltic region locally produced AI capabilities drawing on lessons from the conflict in Ukraine.
“We are seeing how readily available technologies can prove fatal for military equipment costing ms,” she added. “Cheap drones carrying warheads can deplete the reserves of even more sophisticated defence systems.”
Autonomy is needed to operate the cheaper uncrewed aerial systems carrying warheads whirring across the south and east of the wartorn nation posing a considerable, asymmetric threat to expensive platforms such as main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
In early June, Helsing entered a framework agreement with Airbus to explore AI technologies that will be used on the European Future Combat Air System ‘Wingman’, a “fighter-type drone concept” that operates alongside a centralised crewed fighter jet.
“Europe must allocate bns of euros to strengthen its defences,” she stressed. “We continue to call on all European partners and the European Commission to find more robust and direct ways to finance defence investments.”
Kallas’ statement indicates her priorities for expanding Europe’s collective defence form the top down. At the end of June, the Estonian leader was nominated to succeed as the European Union’s (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in the coming months.
A leading voice for defence expansion and championing Western support for Ukraine in the war against Russia, Kallas’ stance on the security climate is clear. The High Representative is a diplomatic appointment established by the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999. It encompasses a range of roles as the title suggests; it includes heading up the European Defence Agency and maintaining European interests on an uncertain and fragile world stage. These objectives will be implemented more systematically following the inauguration of the Union’s European Defence Industry Programme.
Established in March, the organisation will mobilise $1.63bn of the EU budget throughout 2025-27 to enhance their defence market competitiveness. The idea is to end their short-term measures since the start of the war in Ukraine for a more structural, longer-term approach to strengthening Europe’s defence industrial and technology base with new objectives.

15 Jul 24. Improving cyber resilience of frontline forces in Europe.
Enhancing allied cyber defences through multinational Exercise Baltic Mule. International participants in Exercise Baltic Mule. MOD Crown copyright
Exercise Baltic Mule was a joint UK and Poland led exercise to reduce the cyber vulnerabilities of frontline military activity and ensure we can protect against future threats. The exercise helped to improve frontline units’ ability to withstand cyberattacks and continue their missions even when facing sophisticated cyber threats.
International participants gathered in Poland for the exercise – including from Canada, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the UK, and the USA – a clear demonstration of the strength of our international cyber partnerships.
Exercise Baltic Mule was the first cyber mission assurance exercise to primarily focus on vulnerabilities within the forward land forces in Eastern Europe. These multinational forces protect the Baltic nations from aggression, as well as train together to improve integration amongst NATO allies.
The exercise explored how we make sure military supply plans are secure. Military experts from all the nations involved spent three days analysing potential threats to supply lines and communication systems, resulting in a comprehensive list of solutions and advice to address these threats. Such findings will be instrumental in refining the plans of the forward land forces and providing recommendations to present at the next Cyber Commanders Forum in September.
Exercise Baltic Mule played an important role in a move towards a more cyber-resilient force. As the cyber threats we face become increasingly sophisticated and frequent, Strategic Command will continue to work ever more closely with our NATO allies to defend against these threats. Exercises like Baltic Mule make sure the UK and our allies are better equipped to protect current and future military activity from cyber threats. (Source: https://www.gov.uk/)
12 Jul 24. Cyber Update Key points.
- The emergence of a new ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation points to elevated security and operational risks facing global firms (see Sibylline Cyber Daily Analytical Update – 8 July 2024).
- A new highly sophisticated cyber espionage campaign conducted by the advanced persistent threat (APT) group ‘CloudSorcerer’ points to heightened security risks facing government entities (see Sibylline Cyber Daily Analytical Update – 9 July 2024 and our Technical analysis below).
- The takedown of a large bot farm signals elevated disinformation risks stemming from Russian-linked threat actors ahead of November’s US presidential election (see Sibylline Cyber Daily Analytical Update – 10 July 2024).
- A large-scale financially motivated campaign points to heightened financial risks ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games (see Sibylline Cyber Daily Analytical Update – 11 July 2024).
- The development of two new highly sophisticated strains of malware underscores the elevated espionage risks stemming from the Chinese state-sponsored group ‘APT41’ (see Sibylline Cyber Daily Analytical Update – 12 July 2024 and our Technical analysis below).
Technical analysis of weekly stories
A new APT, ‘CloudSorcerer’, is targeting Russian government entities in a highly sophisticated espionage campaign. Although the campaign’s initial attack vector is unknown, the threat group manually executed a new malware, also known as ‘CloudSorcerer’, on compromised systems. The malware itself typically executes a backdoor and/or a command and control (C2) module depending on which local processes it detects, highlighting its ability to adapt dynamically to different systems. The C2 module first establishes communication with the initial C2 server, namely a GitHub page designed to appear legitimate. The GitHub repository then initiates contact with three separate public cloud services – Microsoft Graph, Yandex Cloud and Dropbox – facilitating asynchronous data exchange between the backdoor and the C2 infrastructure. Subsequently, the backdoor module collects information from the compromised system, such as the computer name, user name, Windows information and system uptime, storing it in a specially crafted structure. It then sends the stored data to actor-controlled infrastructure via two separate flows (a backdoor and an information-gathering flow). Furthermore, the backdoor module is able to receive additional commands from the C2 infrastructure, which includes collecting information about system hard drives, files and folders, as well as executing shell commands and creating, writing and reading data (and running additional advanced functionality). CloudSorcerer’s complex communication infrastructure demonstrates a well-planned approach to cyber espionage, further highlighting the malware’s significant sophistication.
The Chinese state-sponsored group ‘APT41’ is targeting organisations in Southeast Asia with two new strains of malware, ‘DodgeBox’ and ‘MoonWalk’. Although the campaign’s initial attack vector is unknown, APT41 first downloads the malware DodgeBox onto compromised systems via a legitimate executable. The malware notably shares similarities with another loader used by APT41, ‘StealthVector’, though it boasts several improvements. Namely, DodgeBox employs ‘call stack’ spoofing to remain undetected within compromised systems. More specifically, call stack spoofing obscures the origins of application programming interface (API) calls, making it more challenging for endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions and antivirus systems to detect malicious activity. Additionally, DodgeBox loads the backdoor MoonWalk to collect information from infected systems, as well as to download new configurations and to execute commands. MoonWalk then establishes communication with actor-controlled C2 infrastructure via Google Drive. This enables APT41 to mimic legitimate traffic, thereby achieving prolonged persistence on a compromised system. The backdoor also shares similarities with DodgeBox, notably incorporating several of the same detection evasion techniques. As a newer and more advanced version of StealthVector, DodgeBox underlines the group’s ongoing commitment to develop new malware continuously. Both malware strains also contain several highly advanced anti-detection techniques, pointing to the substantial sophistication of Chinese state-sponsored actors’ TTPs.
Some non-exhaustive recommendations to mitigate against these threats include:
- Monitor devices and networks for suspicious activity.
- Add available Indicators-of-Compromise (IoCs) to your organisation’s security detection systems to detect potentially malicious samples on the network.
- Adopt behaviour-based end-point detection and response (EDR) solutions, prioritising the detection of the initial stages of a compromise.
- Ensure adequate security monitoring and detection capabilities, particularly for all external-facing services and devices. (Source: Sibylline)
