🛻 GM Defense turns the Chevy Silverado into a UGV

The NSA, FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) urged organizations to patch two critical PHP flaws, or take systems offline if they cannot patch promptly.

More than 22.6 million internet-exposed instances may be vulnerable to the “php2shell” flaws, which let attackers run server commands without logging in, per Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42.

Roughly 900 US government-linked systems show PHP use, and a leak pushed fixes out a day early, compressing patch windows before expected opportunistic exploitation.

Saab launched the Allied Mission System (AMS), a cloud-based platform that fuses sensor data and gives military operators continuous command and control over space operations.

Its modular design lets software, data-collection tools and response systems upgrade independently, so new capabilities can be added as threats evolve without overhauling the platform.

Built by Saab Australia as a sovereign capability, AMS uses an open architecture designed to link space with other domains in future multi-domain operations.

Turkey, Qatar, Indonesia and Pakistan signed the Badr memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Doha, committing to cooperate on military production, technical training, and research and development.

The MoU is light on specifics, but the head of Turkey’s defense industry agency attended, and the text frames the four countries’ capabilities as complementary.

It follows August’s Mecca Pact among Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, which includes a mutual defense clause Pakistani officials say other countries could join.

About 1,000 Australian troops joined Indonesia for Exercise Keris Woomera in eastern Java, the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) largest overseas training activity of the year.

The ADF fired the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) abroad for the first time and ran its first cyber integration training with Indonesia.

Coming months after February’s Treaty on Common Security, the drills deepen interoperability, though a Jakarta analyst says Indonesia’s non-alignment and stretched capacity may limit scale-up.

GM Defense unveiled a Chevrolet Silverado-based unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) concept for military logistics and casualty evacuation, targeting functional trials in 2027.

It also showed EPIQ Hybrid, a 60-kilowatt, 100-kilowatt-hour expeditionary energy storage prototype with an onboard generator built to cut noise signatures.

The push rides growing Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) demand, as the Army now seeks more than 12,000 units, up from an initial order of 649.
