US Army Hospital’s New AI Tool Hunts for Early Lung Cancer Clues

U.S. Air Force Capt. Justin Kong, 312th Airlift Squadron pilot, operates a Hypoxia Familiarization Trainer (HFT) while wearing a quick don mask during aerospace physiology training at Travis Air Force Base, California, Sept. 9, 2025. An HFT is a sophisticated training device used to teach aircrew how to recognize and respond to the symptoms of oxygen deprivation in daylight and lowlight conditions.

DARPA’s $2M Bet: Teach AI Agents to Talk Smarter and Discover New Science

U.S. Army Sgt. Michael Morales, assigned to 41st Field Artillery Brigade, updates Soldier information in a battalion aid station during Saber Guardian 25, Cincu Training Area, Romania, June 13, 2025. The aid station enables rapid triage, treatment, and evacuation of casualties, ensuring readiness and lifesaving support in austere operational environments. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Hunter Carpenter) Demonstrating global deterrence and the U.S. Army’s ability to rapidly deploy U.S.-based combat power in Europe and the Arctic region alongside Allies and partners, DEFENDER 25 brings U.S. troops together with forces from 29 Allied and partner nations to build readiness through large-scale combat training from May 11-June 24, 2025. DEFENDER 25 increases the lethality of the NATO alliance through large-scale tactical training maneuvers and long-range fires, builds unit readiness in a complex joint, multinational environment and leverages host nation capabilities to increase the U.S. Army’s operational reach. During three large-scale combat training exercises—Swift Response, Immediate Response, and Saber Guardian—Ally and partner forces integrate and expand multi-domain operations capability, demonstrating combined command and control structures and readiness to respond to crisis and conflict.

The MATHBAC program is a 34-month effort to rethink how AI systems collaborate from the ground up.

US Army Creates AI Chatbot to Support Frontline Decisions

Staff Sgt. Victor Corena, assigned to Assault Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, checks operational data on his end-user device during a field training exercise that demonstrates Next Generation Command and Control AN/PRC-166 radio technology on Fort Carson, Colorado, on September 18, 2025. The NGC2 ecosystem integrates software applications, infrastructure, data, and transport into a unified operational architecture, providing commanders with real-time information to make more, better and faster decisions. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. William Rogers)

Called Victor, the system combines a Reddit-style forum with an algorithm that pulls from more than 500 military data repositories, including lessons from the Ukraine-Russia war and past US operations like Operation Epic Fury.

AI-Assisted Study Confirms Anomalous Behavior of Orbs Near US Navy Ship

The Independence Class littoral combat ship USS Omaha (LCS 12) transits the Pacific Ocean during a Nimitz Carrier Strike Group (CSG) composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX). COMPTUEX is an intensive exercise designed to fully integrate units of the CSG, while testing its ability as a whole to carry out sustained combat operations from the sea. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Andrew Langholf/RELEASED)

A new AI-assisted study is bringing unidentified anomalous phenomenon orb sightings back into focus, pointing to flight behavior that appears inconsistent with known physics — including incidents tied to a US Navy vessel seven years ago.
