The @USArmy has awarded Radiant $750 million to deliver 15 Kaleidos microreactors through the Janus program, one of the largest contracts @DIU_x has issued to date.
The Army launched the Janus Program to strengthen the energy resilience of military installations and mission-critical infrastructure. Radiant was chosen after extensive evaluation of reactor design, technical maturity, manufacturing readiness, deployment strategy, and commercial viability. Radiant’s 15 microreactors will enable the Army to deploy nuclear power across multiple locations. In tandem, the operational data acquired through the Program will accelerate commercial deployments across a global footprint of commercial customers.

"The tank did not eliminate the problem of the machine gun. It solved it well enough to restore what the machine gun had stolen: the ability to move, to exploit, to break through and pour into the enemy’s rear. Maneuver returned." mwi.westpoint.edu/drones-are…

MEGAWATT IN A BOX? This high-temperature gas reactor being developed by @RadiantNuclear could be a potential replacement for diesel generators.
Radiant is on track to become the first company to test its fueled reactor experiment in DOME — the world’s first microreactor test bed.

It’s great when we get showcased like this!

The U.S. Army on Tuesday unveiled the Janus Program, a more than six year effort by the Army and the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Unit with the goal of developing and constructing hundreds of state-of-the-art small nuclear reactors to power military bases across the United States, according to the Wall Street Journal. The reactors, dubbed microreactors by the Army, will generate less than 20 megawatts of electricity, enough to power a small town or base, and will be small enough to be transported by either ship or aircraft to remote military locations overseas, such as islands in the Pacific. Secretary of the Army Daniel P. Driscoll stated that they hope to have the first reactors operational at bases across the country by September 2028.

The clear lesson here that *denial* works as @chairmang points out in the piece. Russia is being stopped by Ukrainians fighting for their nation. Putin would be at the Polish border if all he faced were sanctions and G-7 condemnations. 2/

Wait a minute. Say what you will but Trump Admin was 💪 on Taiwan . Blaming US *attempt to focus* & clarity on need to confront China for China’s aggressiveness against 🇹🇼 is frankly absurd. Beijing is menacing all by itself. Trump Admin recognized need to address the problem. 1/
New from Tokyo: Top U.S. officials are warning w/ increasing urgency that China could soon invade Taiwan—a timeline they say has accelerated by Trump’s repeated provocation of Beijing, China’s military build-up, & signs Taiwan could declare independence. politico.com/news/2021/03/15…

Army Rebuilds Artillery Arm For Large-Scale War. The service’s new AimPoint plan builds very different forces for Europe and the Pacific – but new high-level artillery HQs are central to both. @ArmyFutures @AdaptingTheArmy bit.ly/3cMuQWC

So, Russia is using quadcopter drones equipped with "simulated explosives" for practicing combat operations in the Arctic.
Uh, this is news to me.
