Unmanned Aerial Vehicles:

The US Navy will be releasing the draft RFP for the new unmanned tanker for their aircraft carriers later this year.  Strangely, they are retaining the RAQ-25 designation rather than changing it to a KQ-xx if it were a tanker.  It turns out a light attack and recon role will be retained.  The US Navy CNO wants the CBARS to be fielded asap.

The US Special Forces unveiled their version of the ubiquitous Reaper drone.

Israeli company, Elbit, has developed a new brigade level drone that has a operational range longer than 100 km.

Here's more info on the Turkish Anka drone's operational debut.

Syrian rebel videos corroborate the Iranian drone strikes being real.

The US Army is looking into counter UAV technologies.

The Israelis have developed new, loitering weapons (IE suicidal UAVs).

Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicles:

Singapore is starting to get into the UGCV act as well.

Artificial Intelligence:

The Pentagon and DARPA are working on AI to help deal with the enormous amount of data future soldiers will be faced with.

Should autonomous weapons be banned or regulated?
