SPOTLIGHT: High-energy lasers and remote weapons stations: a solution to modern drone threats, with EOS' Dr Andreas Schwer 34:17

för 10 hours sedan34:17

34:17

In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, Dr Andreas Schwer, managing director and chief executive of Electro Optic Systems, joins host Liam Garman to discuss modern counter drone systems including high-energy laser systems and remote weapons stations. The pair begin the podcast with the success of EOS’ Slinger weapons system, particularly in Ukraine, where it can connect with radar and automatically engage drone targets in seconds. Schwer then turns to high energy laser systems as a solution to drone swarms, as they can reduce the cost of an engagement to just $1 and automatically destroy up to 20 drones a minute. They then turn to the future of drone and counter-drone warfare, and how this rapidly evolving area is requiring a rethink to business as usual – including the need for kinetic capabilities to bolster electronic warfare as an increasing number of drones contain onboard computing and AI.

CYBER UNCUT: Facebook bans, unsecured web servers, and THAT Signal chat 39:44

för 8 dagar sedan39:44

39:44

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, host David Hollingworth and journalist Daniel Croft talk about Apple backdoors, Facebook bans, the disastrous Signal chat that exposed the highest levels of the Trump administration as less than security-minded and how we report on exposed databases. Hollingworth and Croft get the ball rolling with a news wrap-up focusing on malware posing as Chinese chatbot DeepSeek, Papua New Guinea’s new trial Facebook ban, and behind-closed-door deliberations on the UK’s efforts to get a backdoor into Apple devices. After a short break, the pair get to the biggest story of the week – a leaked Signal chat between senior Trump administration officials that somehow had an American journalist added to the chat. Hollingworth and Croft talk about the security implications, the proper use of apps like Signal, and the alarming revelation that JD Vance may have been the smartest person in the room. To round things out for the week, Croft talks about a recent database exposure suffered by a popular Australian hardware chain, why reporting on data leaks and breaches can be a difficult thing to cover, and why not all data leaks are equal.
