The Army delivers a “training canister,” simulating a hypersonic missile round, to its first hypersonic battery.
WASHINGTON: The Army and Air Force have been told to stop talking in public about their feud over long-range strike for All Domain Operations signaling that the decision about who does the mission now is in the hands of higher powers.
It may be resolved by a review by the powerful CAPE in time for the 2023 budget chop, experts say.

WASHINGTON: A “recently signed” Defense Intelligence Strategy prioritizes countering Russian and Chinese disinformation, including providing more timely information to Combatant Commanders to support their efforts, says Neill Tipton, director for Defense Intelligence, Collection and Special Programs.
Further, he told the House Armed Services subcommittee on intelligence and special operations, DoD and the IC plan to complete an effort to declassify information about adversary information-warfare activities by September in order to bolster the military’s ability to respond.
“Adversary use of disinformation, misinformation and propaganda poses one of today’s greatest challenges to the United States, not just to the Department of Defense,” said Chris Maier, acting assistant defense secretary for special operations and low intensity conflict, at the hearing. “Russia and China, as well as non-state ....
