Kratos has unveiled the rendering of its advanced stealth drone, Thanatos, for the first time, indicating its intention to secure a contract by next year. The design features low-observable elements, including a tailless body, diamond-shaped wings, and a shovel nose. While the potential customer remains unnamed, the presence of a U.S. Air Force logo suggests a connection to the service's Collaborative Combat Aircraft program. Thanatos represents Kratos' most advanced drone concept to date and could potentially be a contender for the CCA program or other classified projects.

China is making significant progress in the production of a new generation of nuclear-armed submarines, known as Type 096, which are expected to pose a challenge to the U.S. and its allies in tracking them. These submarines are predicted to be much harder to detect due to breakthroughs in their quietness, aided in part by Russian technology. The development of these advanced submarines is driving increased deployments and contingency planning by the U.S. Navy and other militaries in the Indo-Pacific region. The prospect of a quieter Chinese submarine is also a driving factor behind the AUKUS deal between Australia, Britain, and the U.S. to increase submarine deployments.

The U.S. military has asked the public for help in locating a missing F-35 fighter jet that went missing over South Carolina after the pilot ejected due to a "mishap." The pilot is in stable condition, but the circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear. The jet's stealth technology and a malfunctioning transponder have made it difficult to locate. Authorities are focusing their search around Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion. The incident has attracted criticism, with some questioning how an advanced fighter jet could be lost and why it lacks a tracking device.
