The FAA is rolling out an AI-powered component of its Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes, and Trajectories platform to help controllers identify potential congestion earlier around major Washington-area airports. Initial operations are planned by year-end, with the system intended to reduce delays and cancellations.

The U.S. Space Force is soliciting commercial satellites capable of locating and inspecting objects in orbit on short notice while expanding commercial tracking of GPS jamming and other electronic interference. New optical satellites from South Korea’s Satrec Initiative and persistent legacy spacecraft underscore the demand for orbital awareness.
President Donald Trump proposed creating an “A.I. Force,” positioning it as a follow-up to the Space Force while rejecting calls for new rules governing artificial intelligence. The proposal signals an emphasis on expanding military AI capabilities rather than addressing concerns about the technology’s pace or potential harms.
The US Air Force will introduce its Collaborative Combat Aircraft drones to a large-scale combat exercise in December, marking the first reported exercise deployment for uncrewed aircraft designed to operate alongside crewed fighters and another step toward operational integration.
Air and Space Force leaders are gathering to address how drones, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies are reshaping the battlespace. Their focus is on adapting current force structures, operations and strategy to a radically changed future of warfare rather than waiting for those technologies to mature.
ASELSAN flew Bayraktar TB2 drones equipped with its ANTIDOT electronic-support and electronic-warfare pod and FULMAR 200 synthetic-aperture radar pod during an international demonstration in Konya, Turkey. Defense delegations from 18 countries observed the systems perform radar detection, SAR imaging and electronic-warfare missions.
The FAA is adopting a more modest rollout for a new artificial-intelligence tool after airlines expressed concern about its impact on flight scheduling. The phased approach is intended to help manage implementation and limit disruption as the agency introduces the technology.
