Harvard-led researchers in DARPA's Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum devices (ONISQ) program have created the first-ever quantum circuit with logical quantum bits (qubits), a key discovery that could accelerate fault-tolerant quantum computing and revolutionize concepts for designing quantum computer processors. The ONISQ program began in 2020 seeking to demonstrate a quantitative advantage of quantum information processing by leapfrogging the performance of classical-only supercomputers to solve a particularly challenging class of problem known as combinatorial optimization
The Hungarian defence forces received the first Leopard 2A7HU tank on December 5, the latest in the German-made Leopard series which is custom-made for Hungary. Hungary has placed an order for 44 Leopard 2A7HU tanks
Maintenance experts at Hill Air Force Base are embarking on an unprecedented mission – stitching together two mishap-damaged F-35 Lightning II aircraft to create a fully operational and restored fighter jet. Led by the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO), this project, dubbed the "Franken-bird," involves a collaborative effort comprising experts from the JPO, the 388th Fighter Wing, the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, and Lockheed Martin
The Central Military District of Russia has received a batch of 15 upgraded T-90M Proryv main battle tanks featuring new turret and engine. These tanks are now part of the combat vehicle pools of armored and motor rifle units within the combined arms army of the Central Military District
Russian military forces have adapted Shahed-136 drones to exploit weaknesses in Ukrainian air defense, employing makeshift modules to coordinate attacks via the country's mobile phone network. Photos circulating on social media reveal the modifications, showcasing a 3D-printed plastic container affixed to the drone's fuselage, housing an Alcatel 3G modem with a Ukrainian operator's SIM card
A delegation of Qatari military leaders paid a visit to the Rheinmetall Hungary plant in Zalaegerszeg, where they were introduced to the advanced capabilities of the Lynx armored fighting vehicle. Headed by Brigadier General Dr

General Atomics Mojave Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) demonstrated a first-of-its-kind short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability on the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales. Royal Navy Director Develop, Rear Admiral James Parkin, whose team planned the trial, said: “The Mojave trial is a European first – the first time that a Remotely Piloted Air System of this size has operated to and from an aircraft carrier outside of the United States
Lockheed Martin's Patriot Advanced Capability – 3 (PAC-3) has achieved successful integration with the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) radar for the first time. This was reached during a recent flight test at the White Sands Missile Range, where the PAC-3 system demonstrated its ability to send and receive data from the LTAMDS radar to counter an Air Breathing Threat (ABT)
