27 Jun 25. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), the world leader in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), announces a new partnership with Nominal Inc. to implement an enterprise software platform for data management, analysis, and validation. GA-ASI and Nominal will collaborate on real-time telemetry monitoring and aggregated flight data analysis tools for GA-ASI’s line of UAS.

“We’re excited to partner with Nominal,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “Nominal software will drive our new approach to flight telemetry data acquisition and processing as well as centralized data management.”

Leveraging Nominal Core and Nominal Connect will enable GA-ASI to aggregate data and rapidly learn from large datasets built from the full lifecycle of systems, from developmental testing to field support, which ultimately will allow the company to better serve its customers in their critical missions.

Nominal is focused on building software and data solutions for organizations that test and validate complex systems, including UAS. The company builds software designed for modern hardware teams, delivering a faster, more reliable way to test modern software-defined vehicles and other mission-critical systems.

“We help test engineering teams discover, develop, and manage validation logic to bridge developmental test, operational test, and deployment,” said Nominal CEO Cameron McCord. “With GA-ASI, we will deliver step-change capabilities that save time, improve decision-making, and unlock collaboration across aerospace engineering teams.”

 

27 Jun 25. Cyberlux Corporation (OTC: CYBL), a leading defense technology company, today announced it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with George Mason University, one of the nation’s premier public research institutions. This strategic collaboration is focused on advancing innovation across key technology areas including 5G systems, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), cybersecurity, and next-generation tactical communications.

“This partnership with George Mason University is a significant milestone in our mission to drive disruptive innovation across the defense sector,” said Mark Schmidt, President and CEO of Cyberlux Corporation. “By combining George Mason’s cutting-edge research capabilities with Cyberlux’s operational platforms, we’re accelerating the path from concept to deployment. Together, we will shape the future of defense technology, from advanced communications to autonomous systems.”

The MoU outlines roles for both organizations in leveraging shared expertise: Cyberlux will provide real-world development priorities and product integration requirements, while GMU will contribute academic research and technical resources aligned with the agreed areas of focus. All collaborative work will be governed by separate agreements to address intellectual property, funding, and deliverables.

“This MoU will expand our research in critical areas of cybersecurity research and continuing Mason’s academic in the fields,” said Duminda Wijesekera an expert in the safety of cyber-physical systems and professor in the College of Engineering and Computing’s (CEC) Department of Cyber Security Engineering.

The partnership reflects Cyberlux’s continued expansion across its core divisions—Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Datron Military Communications (DMC), and Global Integrated Services (GIS)—and underscores the company’s commitment to strengthening U.S. defense capabilities through public-private innovation.

“George Mason University is committed to research for delivering innovative dual-use technologies and operational capabilities in support of our national defense. Our partnership with Cyberlux aligns perfectly with this commitment, and we look forward to working in partnership with them to advance these priorities,” said Ken Ball, Dean of the College of Engineering and Computing.(Source: BUSINESS WIRE)

 

27 Jun 25. Airbus, Parry Labs to set MQ-72C ALC for enhanced capabilities. The collaboration sees Parry delivering its STRATIA Edge Software Platform, a commercial off-the-shelf solution. The MQ-72C is an uncrewed variant of the UH-72 Lakota helicopter and designed to serve as a logistical support platform for military operations. As per the agreement, Parry will provide its STRATIA Edge Software Platform, a commercial off-the-shelf solution. The platform is claimed to align commercial aviation norms and advanced autonomy and mission system technologies. Parry Labs will also supply computing hardware and a ground control station capable of accommodating various form factors, including integration with the Marine Air Ground Tablet (MAGTAB). Airbus US Space & Defense chairman and CEO Robert Geckle said: “Parry’s proven digital system integration expertise – specifically UAS command and control interfaces – will help ensure the MQ-72C will be able to conduct uncrewed operations in austere environments and redefine how the Marine Corps counters the threats of tomorrow.”The partners are set to expand their collaboration over the coming years, focusing on enhancing mission capabilities. This partnership aims to advance autonomous flight technologies for use by the USMC and other components of the Joint Force.

Parry Labs CEO JD Parkes said: “We are able to bring modern mission system capabilities in a simple unified data and systems environment to programmes like ALC.”

The ALC initiative is part of a series of efforts by the US Department of Defense aimed at providing logistical support in dispersed settings, particularly in scenarios involving conflict with peer or near-peer adversaries. Currently, the Airbus team is in its second year working on the Aerial Logistics Connector programme under the Middle Tier of Acquisition – Rapid Prototyping pathway. In May 2025, Airbus disclosed the second demonstration programme at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, in support of the USMC’s ALC contract. This event assessed the UH-72B Lakota’s performance, including its cargo loading and carrying capabilities, and demonstrated potential modifications to align with the USMC’s specifications for an ALC system suitable for expeditionary advanced base operations. Further demonstrations are scheduled to take place throughout 2025 to guide upcoming procurement decisions and potentially lead to the development of a prototype aircraft, said Airbus. In April and May 2025, Airbus teamed up with Shield AI and L3Harris to expand the platform’s mission capabilities. (Source: naval-technology.com)
