Double trouble: ‘World’s first’ laser-armed tank jams and fries drones mid-air | Kapil Kajal, Interesting Engineering The ALKA DEWS is a hybrid air defense system made for close-range combat. Turkey has introduced the ALKA-KAPLAN, a hybrid tracked vehicle that has a directed energy weapon system to fight drone threats on the battlefield. This is the first system of its kind and will be officially shown at IDEF 2025, highlighting Ankara’s effort to use modern technologies in its armored vehicles and to deal with the rise of unmanned aerial systems. Zapping drones with lasers after jamming them Developed through a collaboration between FNSS and ROKETSAN, the ALKA-KAPLAN combines the KAPLAN HYBRID tracked platform with the ALKA Directed Energy Weapon System (DEWS). The integration responds to a key need in modern military forces: mobile, armored platforms that can fight against drones while working alongside tanks and infantry vehicles in challenging environments. The ALKA-KAPLAN represents a major change in Turkey’s defense approach. Instead of traditional air defense systems, this approach uses electromagnetic jamming and strong lasers to target drones, helicopters, and other flying weapons. The ALKA DEWS is a hybrid air defense system made for close-range combat. It uses an electromagnetic jamming system to interfere with enemy actions and a high-energy laser to destroy targets. This combination enables ALKA to neutralize a wide spectrum of asymmetric aerial threats, including fixed-wing and rotary-wing mini/micro UAVs and loitering munitions, before they can damage frontline assets. The ALKA DEWS architecture includes artificial intelligence-assisted tracking and threat identification, allowing rapid detection and elimination of UAVs and improvised explosive devices. The system can be set up in different ways: fixed, mobile, or portable. This allows it to protect urban areas, open land, or convoys. The KAPLAN HYBRID Powerpack powers this system, which was first shown as a concept in 2023. Hybrid powerpack FNSS designed the high-kilowatt generator to drive the vehicle and provide sufficient energy to power high-consumption systems like ALKA. This eliminates the need for auxiliary power units and enables extended silent operation, which is vital for stealth and reconnaissance missions. ALKA-KAPLAN’s powerpack design was entirely developed by FNSS engineers using a combination of indigenously produced and locally sourced subsystems. The hybrid propulsion architecture improves fuel efficiency, reduces thermal signature, and increases the vehicle’s operational range by over 10% when the generator operates in standby. The ALKA system can disrupt UAVs that use advanced guidance technologies, including GPS-denied navigation and image-assisted targeting. ROKETSAN has emphasized that ALKA’s layered defense, combining electronic warfare and directed energy, offers a cost-effective and scalable response to drone saturation attacks. ALKA can help neutralize threats from the air, roadside bombs, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and unexploded bombs in combat zones. This project is part of Turkey’s larger plan to rely less on foreign defense technologies, especially high-energy weapons and vehicle drivetrains. FNSS’s development of a locally produced cross-drive gearbox, a critical component often sourced from a handful of global suppliers, positions the firm among a select few with end-to-end capability for tracked vehicle systems. The ALKA-KAPLAN is designed for up to 20 tons of platforms and can be adapted for future tracked vehicle programs or modernization projects. Read more:

China completes installation of world's largest single-unit floating offshore wind turbine The world's largest single-unit 16-megawatt floating offshore wind turbine "Three Gorges Pilot" was installed on Saturday in waters off Yangjiang, south China's Guangdong Province. The 16-megawatt floating offshore wind turbine consists of three parts, namely a 16 mw ultra-large capacity wind turbine, a semi-submersible floating platform, and a new mooring system. With a maximum tip height exceeding 270 meters, the wind turbine rotor has a diameter of 252 meters, with a swept area equivalent to seven standard football fields. Unlike traditional fixed-bottom turbines that are physically connected to the seabed, it is installed on a semi-submersible floating platform measuring 80.82 meters long, 91 meters wide, and with a displacement of 24,100 tons. The platform is secured through nine suction anchors, combined with domestically produced high-performance polyester fiber cables and anchor chains for seabed mooring and positioning. "To deal with the harsh sea conditions, our team has developed and applied a new mooring system, a dynamic monitoring system, an active ballast system, and 66 kV dynamic submarine cables for the first time in China," said Pan Hongguan, an offshore wind power engineer from Guangdong Branch of China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG). According to Pan, the new mooring system combines polyester cable and anchor chain, which is like adding a "spring" to the middle of the system, to deliver superior mechanical performance. The "Three Gorges Pilot" wind turbine previously completed its integrated assembly at Tieshan Port in Beihai of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It arrived at its target sea area located more than 70 kilometers off the coast of Yangjiang after a long-distance towed voyage across the Qiongzhou Strait which connects South China's island province of Hainan with Guangdong Province on the mainland. After being put into operation, the wind turbine is expected to generate approximately 44.65 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually, enough to meet the annual electricity demand of 24,000 households.

A blockchain project can be designed to be 100% technically decentralized, but if a single developer or a team within a single country controls the development and decision-making, the project may not be fully decentralized in terms of governance and decision-making. ## Differences between technical decentralization and governance decentralization - *Technical decentralization*: The blockchain project uses decentralized technology, such as distributed ledgers, to ensure transparency and security. - *Governance decentralization*: The blockchain project is managed and decided by a decentralized community, not by a single individual or organization. ## Conditions for a blockchain project to be considered decentralized For a blockchain project to be considered truly decentralized, it needs to meet both conditions: - *Technical decentralization*: Uses decentralized technology to ensure transparency and security. - *Decentralized governance*: Managed and decided by a decentralized community, with transparent and fair decision-making mechanisms. If a blockchain project only meets one of the above two conditions, it may not be fully decentralized. ## Building a 100% Decentralized Ecosystem: A New Model for the Future In the context of rapidly developing blockchain technology, building a 100% decentralized ecosystem is not only a goal but also an essential need. The SkyPirl (PIRL coin) project has pioneered the application of a decentralized model not only in terms of technology but also in terms of governance. This article will analyze and demonstrate the importance of this model and convince the community, developers and organizations to support this policy. ## Why 100% Decentralization is Necessary 100% decentralization ensures that no single individual or organization can control the entire system. This enhances transparency, security and fairness. When applied to an ecosystem this model will bring many benefits: - *Increased transparency*: With the decentralization of power and management by many organizations and individuals, the system will become more transparent. - *Higher security*: The use of multi-signature wallets and treasury management by many representatives will reduce security risks. - *Fairness and democracy*: The decentralized model ensures that all decisions are made fairly and democratically. ## SkyPirl's Decentralized Governance Model SkyPirl project has adopted a decentralized governance model from the beginning by: - *Decentralized development team*: Multiple development teams from different countries, ensuring that no single country or organization controls the entire project. - *Restrict developer power*: Developers are not allowed to hold websites, domains and social media channels, helping to disperse power. - *Use smart contracts and multi-signature wallets*: To ensure transparency and security in treasury management and transactions. ## Applying the Model to the Ecosystem The ecosystem will apply this 100% decentralized model to all projects. This includes: - *Decentralization of power*: Many organizations and individuals will participate in management and decision-making. - *Use multi-signature wallets*: To ensure security and transparency in treasury management. - *Representatives from organizations*: Organizations will send representatives to participate in management and decision-making. #SkyPirl #PIRL #PIRLmeet #SLOFI #CLO #2BearsExchange

A blockchain project can be designed to be 100% technically decentralized, but if a single developer or a team within a single country controls the development and decision-making, the project may not be fully decentralized in terms of governance and decision-making. ## Differences between technical decentralization and governance decentralization - *Technical decentralization*: The blockchain project uses decentralized technology, such as distributed ledgers, to ensure transparency and security. - *Governance decentralization*: The blockchain project is managed and decided by a decentralized community, not by a single individual or organization. ## Conditions for a blockchain project to be considered decentralized For a blockchain project to be considered truly decentralized, it needs to meet both conditions: - *Technical decentralization*: Uses decentralized technology to ensure transparency and security. - *Decentralized governance*: Managed and decided by a decentralized community, with transparent and fair decision-making mechanisms. If a blockchain project only meets one of the above two conditions, it may not be fully decentralized. ## Building a 100% Decentralized Ecosystem: A New Model for the Future In the context of rapidly developing blockchain technology, building a 100% decentralized ecosystem is not only a goal but also an essential need. The SkyPirl (PIRL coin) project has pioneered the application of a decentralized model not only in terms of technology but also in terms of governance. This article will analyze and demonstrate the importance of this model and convince the community, developers and organizations to support this policy. ## Why 100% Decentralization is Necessary 100% decentralization ensures that no single individual or organization can control the entire system. This enhances transparency, security and fairness. When applied to an ecosystem this model will bring many benefits: - *Increased transparency*: With the decentralization of power and management by many organizations and individuals, the system will become more transparent. - *Higher security*: The use of multi-signature wallets and treasury management by many representatives will reduce security risks. - *Fairness and democracy*: The decentralized model ensures that all decisions are made fairly and democratically. ## SkyPirl's Decentralized Governance Model SkyPirl project has adopted a decentralized governance model from the beginning by: - *Decentralized development team*: Multiple development teams from different countries, ensuring that no single country or organization controls the entire project. - *Restrict developer power*: Developers are not allowed to hold websites, domains and social media channels, helping to disperse power. - *Use smart contracts and multi-signature wallets*: To ensure transparency and security in treasury management and transactions. ## Applying the Model to the Ecosystem The ecosystem will apply this 100% decentralized model to all projects.

The Brake-To-Vacate (BTV) function on the Airbus A350 is nothing short of revolutionary for aviation enthusiasts and professional pilots alike. This advanced autobraking system transforms the landing experience by allowing pilots to choose a specific runway exit prior to landing, managing the braking process to achieve an optimal deceleration profile. This not only enhances safety but also significantly reduces Runway Occupancy Time (ROT), leading to more efficient air traffic flow. What makes the BTV system particularly impressive is its integration with other aircraft systems such as Auto Thrust Idle, Spoilers, and Reversers. This ensures that the deceleration is controlled smoothly and efficiently, adapting in real-time to any changes in conditions such as tailwinds or reduced braking action. Pilots can override the system via the red instinctive push buttons on the ThrustLevers or via the manual selection of toe braking. The accuracy and innovation of the BTV feature is mirrored in the @inibuildsofficial A350 Airliner Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) add-on. This add-on captures the intricate details and functions of the real-life BTV system, providing an unparalleled simulation experience.

If intelligence is the log of compute… it starts with a lot of compute! And that’s why we’re scaling our GPU fleet faster than anyone else. Just last year, we added over 2 gigawatts of new capacity – roughly the output of 2 nuclear power plants. And today we’re going further, announcing the world's most powerful AI datacenter, located in southeastern Wisconsin. Fairwater is a seamless cluster of hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200s, connected by enough fiber to circle the Earth 4.5 times. It will deliver 10x the performance of the world’s fastest supercomputer today, enabling AI training and inference workloads at a level never before seen. For AI training workloads, you need compute at exponential scale. That’s why we designed the datacenter, GPU fleet, and network together as one integrated system. This ensures a single job can run from day 1 at exponential scale across thousands of GPUs. Fairwater uses a liquid-cooled closed-loop system for cooling GPUs that requires zero water for operations after construction. And we’re matching all of the energy that is consumed with renewable sources. And of course, it is just one of several similar sites we’re lighting up across our 70+ regions. We have multiple identical Fairwater datacenters under construction in other locations across the US, in addition to our AI infrastructure already deployed in over 100 datacenters around the world, powering model training, test-time compute, RL tuning, and real-time inference at global scale. Too often during times like this, people go with the current and only later wonder, how did we get here? With Fairwater, we're charting a new path: doing the hard engineering work, bringing compute, network, and storage into one highly scaled cluster, and designing closed-loop energy systems to meet real-world computing needs. And partnering with local communities to ensure it's thoughtfully done in a way that is sustainable, creates new jobs, and expands opportunity. We are thrilled to see this take hold in Wisconsin, and we are just getting started.

Video: World’s first humanoid robot labor that swaps its own batteries to work endlessly | Jijo Malayil, Interesting Engineering Walker S2 uses dual-battery balancing and standardized modules to boost efficiency and ensure uninterrupted, optimized performance. In a leap for robotics, China’s UBTech has unveiled the Walker S2, the world’s first humanoid robot capable of fully autonomous battery swapping. Designed for non-stop industrial operations, the Walker S2 can replace its own power pack in just three minutes—no human intervention required. Equipped with advanced anthropomorphic bipedal locomotion and a hot-swappable battery system, Walker S2 is built to operate 24/7 across dynamic industrial environments. According to UBTech, the next-generation humanoid robot marks a major milestone in automation, bringing continuous, hands-free performance to the factory floor. In May 2025, UBTech Robotics and Huawei Technologies inked a significant partnership to accelerate the adoption of humanoid robots across China’s factories and households. Uninterrupted robot operations A video posted by the robotics firm opens with the sleek UBTech Walker S2 humanoid robot working in an industrial setting. The highlight, however, is its autonomous battery swap. Walker S2 approaches the charging station, carefully detaches its depleted power pack, and seamlessly installs a fresh one—all within about three minutes—without any human assistance, according to CGTN. The camera captures close-ups of the robot’s articulated limbs and the intelligent battery-handling mechanism, conveying precision and reliability. As the swap completes, Walker S2 resumes its duties, reinforcing the promise of uninterrupted, 24/7 operations in dynamic factory environments. UBTech’s Walker S2 humanoid robot is equipped with advanced dual-battery power balancing technology and uses standardized battery modules to optimize performance, reports CNEVPOST. This dual-battery system allows the robot to automatically switch to a backup battery in case of a main battery failure, ensuring that critical tasks are carried out without interruption. In addition to battery swapping, the robot can intelligently choose between charging and swapping based on task urgency, allowing it to manage energy dynamically and adapt to real-time operational demands. UBTech highlights these features as a step forward in deploying humanoid robots for industrial and domestic applications, combining flexibility, reliability, and autonomy in one intelligent platform. Factory intelligence upgrade Earlier in the year, UBTech unveiled a major advancement in humanoid robot collaboration, claiming the world’s first deployment of multiple humanoids working together across varied industrial tasks. Demonstrated at Zeekr’s 5G-enabled smart factory, the breakthrough centers on UBTech’s “BrainNet” framework, which orchestrates cooperative behavior through a cloud-device intelligence system. BrainNet integrates a “super brain” for high-level decision-making with an “intelligent sub-brain” for distributed multi-robot control. The super brain, powered by a proprietary large-scale multimodal reasoning model, handles complex production-line scheduling and decision-making. Meanwhile, the sub-brain coordinates real-time tasks using cross-field perception and Transformer-based control for dynamic adaptability. Together, they enable the Walker S1 humanoid robots to move beyond isolated operations and perform coordinated tasks with high precision and speed. The system is built on DeepSeek-R1 reasoning technology and trained on real-world data from automotive factory settings. Leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the model adapts to specific job functions and improves scalability across workstations. At Zeekr’s facility, dozens of Walker S1s now collaborate on tasks like assembly, inspection, and part handling. Using semantic VSLAM and shared mapping, they coordinate seamlessly via vision-based navigation and agile manipulation. UBTech says this marks a transition to “Practical Training 2.0,” where humanoid robots operate as a swarm, maximizing efficiency and setting the stage for next-generation intelligent manufacturing.

🇮🇷| Iran now competes with the US & China on advanced Nano-Insulation technology, used currently by NASA Iranian scientists have successfully localized a state-of-the-art nano-insulation material — the very same class of technology used by NASA to protect spacecraft and astronaut equipment against the most extreme environmental conditions. When the pores of a material are engineered at the nanoscale, they effectively block any transfer of energy through the structure. Building on this principle, an Iranian knowledge-based company has developed and commercialized 3 types of advanced insulation products designed for the industrial, energy, and construction sectors. • Aerogel Blanket: Tailored for use in refineries, petrochemical complexes, and power plants, this flexible blanket withstands temperatures ranging from –200 °C to +650 °C in a single system. • Aerogel Granules: Recognized as the lightest commercial solid in the world, these granules are added to gypsum, cement, and resin formulations to enhance thermal resistance while reducing weight. • Aerogel Powder (Sprayable Form): Derived from the same nanomaterial, this powder serves as the base for a sprayable coating that can easily cover complex geometries and metallic surfaces. Once applied, it creates a powerful barrier against heat, moisture, and even sound. Despite being 99% air, the aerogel blocks energy loss 6x more effectively than conventional insulators.

Its 3-DOF waist allows for human-like bending and lateral body movement. A key feature is the G2's globally first-of-its-kind cross-shaped wrist force-control arm, which uses precision joint torque sensors and joint impedance control to delicately perceive external forces and respond smoothly. For continuous operation, the G2 supports autonomous charging and features a dual-battery hot-swapping system, meeting the 24-hour cycle demands of factory production lines. During the launch event, AgiBot demonstrated the G2’s ultra-low latency remote operation (teleoperation) capabilities. Operators successfully demonstrated precision shots (like hitting a floating balloon in Shanghai while operating from Beijing), showcasing the robot's high accuracy and low latency in both line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight scenarios. The G2 is already being deployed across four key real-world scenarios: In automotive parts production, it assists humans with tasks like safety belt lock core pressing and material handling. In precision operations, it used reinforcement learning to master delicate tasks like inserting memory sticks in just one hour. In logistics, the G2, enhanced by AgiBot's OmniHand dexterous hand, efficiently handles various package types for sorting and loading. Its strong mobility allows it to adapt to over 95% of factory floors. AgiBot is also commencing the first batch of commercial deliveries under an over 100 million RMB procurement contract with Joyson Electronic, formally landing the G2 in the automotive parts manufacturing sector.

PRESS RELEASE | Hon’ble PM Unveils Loiter Munition Test Range and MALE UAV Runway Test Facility at Solar Nagpur. Big push to Self-reliance in Unmanned Aerial Systems Hon’able PM on his visit to Nagpur on 30 Mar 2025, made his last halt of the day at Solar Defence & Aerospace Ltd (SDAL) Nagpur. Shri Satyanarayan Nuwal, Chairman and Mr Raghav Nuwal welcomed the Hon’able PM at SDAL Helipad. From there he was escorted to Technical Area where Hon’ble PM inaugurated Loiter Munition Test Range. Spread over 1080 acres this test range has a dedicated Command & Control Centre, UAV Take off Area, Endurance and Communication Range check facility, Parachute Recovery Area, Static & Moving Target Engagement, Target Hit and CEP Measurement, Warhead Lethality Test facility, and many more. After the inauguration the PM visited the product gallery wherein SDAL showcased its products like Pinaka Rocket System, Air-bombs, Mines, Grenade, Military Explosives, ATGM, Nagastra 1 & 2 Loiter Munitions, and many more. Thereafter, the PM was then escorted by the Chairman to the newly constructed Air strip where he was received by Mr. Manish Nuwal, MD & CEO, SDAL. He then proceeded to unveil the Plaque to mark the Inauguration of the new 1.27 km Runway Facility for Development & Testing of MALE/HALE Class Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Solar has taken a big initiative for developing a MALE UAV and a suo-moto proposal has already been submitted to IAF which is under consideration. The Prime Minister also witnessed the display of the state of art indigenously developed systems viz. Loiter Munition (Nagastra 3), Bhargavastra (Micro-Missile based Counter Drone System) and Bhaumastra (Mine Detection & Disposal System). Key highlights of displayed systems are as follows: - • Loitering Munitions: Many Indian industries and start-ups have entered drone related technologies and systems mostly focused on surveillance and logistics applications. Use of drones and UAVs for combat applications requires critical competency and infrastructure. Keeping in view the futuristic requirements of this emerging technology, SIDAL has taken the initiative to develop Nagastra series of Loiter Munitions of ranges from 15 km to more than 100 km and explosive payload carrying capability from 1 kg to 10 kg. Nagastra 3 is a Vehicle Launched Loiter Munition System of endurance 3 hours, range 100 km and can carry 8.5 kg warhead. It is being developed under Make 2 project from Arty of Indian Army. • Bhargavastra is an indigenously designed and developed Counter Drone System meant for quick interception of drones for an assured hard kill using tiny, guided missiles with swarm engagement capability. This solution offers mobile protection against drone attacks with near simultaneous engagement of multiple drones. With a long range of detection (upto 6 km) and long range of neutralization (upto 2.5 km), it ensures safety of vulnerable assets/battlefield formations. • SDAL has taken an initiative to address the global menace of land mines detection and disposal. As per some estimates there are more than 11 million buried mines world over which remain uncleared and are causing casualties or maiming of both soldiers and civilians in peace time. Bhaumastra, a drone-based system under development by SDAL, would be the first of its kind in any developed nation to provide a drone-based solution to this global problem. It was a proud and inspirational moment for all the 10,000 employees of Solar Group, Nagpur to be witness to this important milestone in the History of their Company where the Prime Minister was among their midst. An emotional send off was given to the Hon’ble PM by the 3 generations of the SDAL Group management viz. Shri Satyanarayan Nuwal, Chairman, Shri Manish Nuwal CEO and Managing Director and Mr Raghav Nuwal.

It was a profound moment today as His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR Bola Ahmed Tinubu, launched the National Health Fellows and unveiled the State of Health Report 2024—two landmark initiatives that reinforce this administration’s commitment to a stronger, more resilient health system under the #RenewedHope Agenda. The presence of young Nigerians—brimming with potential and standing as a testament to merit, accountability, and service—captured the significance of this moment. This is not just a program; it is the foundation of a deliberate and strategic movement to improve health outcomes, strengthen service delivery, and foster leadership across all levels of the sector. The Fellows Program is a bold step toward investing in the next generation of health leaders, ensuring that talent is developed, nurtured, and deployed effectively. Out of over 360,000 applicants, 774 young men and women, representing every local government in Nigeria, were rigorously selected on merit. Their diverse expertise—spanning medicine, public health, technology, and policy—positions them as critical agents of change in the health sector. As President Tinubu aptly stated, the Fellows, “…are the future, the leaders of our health system, the torchbearers of a stronger and more resilient Nigeria.” Beyond this launch, the initiative signals a structural shift in how Nigeria cultivates and retains high-caliber talent within its health system. These fellows are not just recruits; they are workhorses of transformation, expected to strengthen accountability, improve service delivery, and enhance health system resilience at all levels. Recognizing the depth of their potential, I strongly advocated for their absorption into public service, reinforcing the need to retain skilled professionals within government institutions. President Tinubu affirmed this commitment, making it clear that these fellows are not just engaged—they are “hired.” This marks a decisive step in ensuring that investments in human capital translate into tangible improvements in health outcomes. The unveiling of the State of Health Report 2024 further underscores this administration’s commitment to evidence-based policymaking. For the first time since the National Health Act 2014 mandated an annual health report, Nigeria now has a comprehensive, data-driven assessment of its health system. Developed through extensive collaboration with development partners, state governments, civil society, and technical experts, the report offers critical insights into sector performance and serves as a baseline for future interventions under the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Initiative (#NHSRII). The findings highlight early signs of measurable progress, demonstrating the impact of ongoing reforms while underscoring the need for sustained investments and accountability. I would like to recognize the technical expertise of Sector-Wide Approach (#SWAp) Office, led by its National Coordinator, Dr. Muntaqa Al-Sadiq Muntaqa Umar-Sadiq, for their pivotal work in translating policies into action, fostering accountability, and ensuring effective coordination across stakeholders. Their dedication remains a cornerstone of Nigeria’s health sector transformation. As this movement gains momentum, the National Health Fellows now have both the platform and responsibility to translate this opportunity into sustained impact. Their work will strengthen frontline service delivery, drive innovation, and enhance accountability within the health sector. The task ahead is significant, but with the right support, policy continuity, and collective commitment, these fellows will drive the system-wide transformations needed to achieve equitable, quality healthcare for all Nigerians—fulfilling Mr. President’s vision of a healthier, more prosperous nation.
