A federal judge just tore up the Pentagon's ban on Anthropic, clearing Palantir's Claude-powered Maven targeting system to become a permanent program of record by end of September.
This episode: Judge Rita Lin permanently blocks the Pentagon's supply-chain-risk designation against Anthropic, ruling it illegal retaliation, with Maven's twenty-five-thousand-plus builder accounts and multi-billion-dollar budget line now hanging on the outcome. Russia shifts to rolling drone waves against Kyiv, nearly two thousand drones in one week, while fiber-optic drones prove unjammable on both sides of the front. The US Army mounts Swarmbotics AI's FireAnt ground drones onto an M2A4 Bradley as an autonomous swarm "mothership" during Pegasus Charge 3, as Ukraine tests rifle-armed ground robots for direct-fire roles. The Air Force runs its AI-assisted "Final Denial" counter-drone exercise, and startup IMPACT Drones unveils the Shahed-styled SABLE interceptor, built in two weeks. The Army seeks 8,000 low-cost tactical missiles alongside a sub-$150,000 counter-drone interceptor, echoing the Air Force's push for 10,000 low-cost cruise missiles. Plus Taiwan's 2,000-plus Anduril Altius drone acquisition, an AeroVironment Switchblade 600 order, and ParaZero's first US DefendAir sale.
