Perseverance gains Mars Global Localization to boost autonomous navigation in Jezero

NASA upgraded the Perseverance rover with Mars Global Localization, allowing the vehicle to autonomously pinpoint its position in Jezero Crater and navigate with reduced ground-in-the-loop intervention. The capability accelerates science drives and improves target acquisition for the rover’s astrobiology campaign.

Golden Dome at Risk: Why It Needs Software‑Defined Warfare Golden Dome's missile‑defense architecture needs a software‑defined warfare approach to stay effective against rapidly evolving threats. Without modular, updatable software, robust networking and dynamic battle management it risks rapid obsolescence, degraded sensor fusion and operational failure when facing contested, adaptive adversaries.
