U.S. Air Force to replace B-52 bomber weapon pylons with fiber-optic, gigabit links

The U.S. Air Force is pursuing a modernisation programme to replace wing weapon pylons on 75 B-52H strategic bombers with new digital equipment. The upgrade applies a next-generation interface supporting fiber-optic connections and gigabit-class data transfer and is expected to improve data exchange with precision-guided weapons. Budget documents cite higher payload requirements, with a new pylon designed for up to 20,000 pounds of conventional or nuclear weapons.

U.S. Defense Department spreads vibe coding, builds more than 103,000 AI agents in just under 5 weeks

Semi-autonomous AI agents are being adopted rapidly on the U.S. Defense Department\'s unclassified network. TechRadar reported the department used an agent-designer version of Google Gemini on its GenAI.mil platform to build more than 103,000 agents in under 5 weeks, adding more than 20,000 new tools weekly. The agents run about 180,000 sessions a week. Officials cite productivity gains, while others warn about weakly controlled agents operating without clear human approval.
