NOAA taps Meteomatics 'Meteodrones' to close critical weather‑observation gap for NWS

NOAA will deploy Meteomatics' Meteodrones to deliver localized atmospheric measurements to the U.S. National Weather Service, targeting persistent observation gaps that limit short‑term forecast detail. The effort aims to raise forecast fidelity for weather‑sensitive aviation, maritime and defense operations.

O'Leary warns LLM platforms could start charging airlines distribution fees Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary warned that large language model platforms could begin charging airlines distribution fees, potentially making LLMs the latest target of his criticism of intermediated distribution. The comment flags AI platforms as a possible new cost and competitive pressure for carriers.

Air forces must overhaul doctrine to unlock the combat advantage of Collaborative Combat Aircraft Militaries rushing to introduce Collaborative Combat Aircraft risk failing to gain a meaningful combat edge unless they transform their entire operating concept, argues Fahad ibne Masood. He warns that without doctrinal, organisational and operational overhaul, CCA programmes will underdeliver on their promised force‑multiplying effects.
