US Army selects Anduril to lead baseline for Next Gen C2 “common data layer” The Army has chosen Anduril to lead development of the baseline for its Next Gen Command-and-Control (C2) common data layer. The decision follows Anduril’s year-long “full stack” prototyping effort with the 4th Infantry Division, aimed at standardizing how mission data is shared and used across C2 systems.

Quantum Systems + Planet Labs push “satellite-to-drone” ISR by linking EO tasking to autonomous aerial collection Quantum Systems and Planet Labs describe a shift from delayed Earth-imagery delivery to a continuous ISR loop: satellites cue and feed autonomous drones, converting Earth observation into near-real-time, actionable intelligence. The approach targets faster sensing-to-decision cycles and a more operationally integrated EO value chain.

After SpaceX’s $85.7B IPO, orbital AI data centers move from “pie in the sky” to a serious engineering/commercial narrative Following SpaceX’s $85.7 billion IPO and a trillion-dollar valuation that made Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire, “AI data centers in space” are shifting from skepticism to mainstream discussion. The idea frames space-based computing as an alternate route for AI capacity scaling.

Air New Zealand CEO Nikhil Ravishankar: AI can accelerate the turnaround—but operations set the limits Air New Zealand CEO Nikhil Ravishankar tells Skift that AI and innovation are central to the airline’s turnaround strategy, but he cautions that real-world operations determine how far “the machine” can go. The remarks frame AI adoption as disciplined, operationally grounded, and geared to execution rather than experiments.
