  1. Milestone moon mission gets a boost from the Northwest
    NASA’s most powerful rocket is due to send four astronauts on a round-the-moon journey as early as this week, and although the launch team has to make sure everything goes right in Florida, the mission’s success will also depend on hardware that was b

  2. Decades-old rocket factory is in for a Rocketdyne rebrand
    A decades-old rocket factory in Redmond, Wash., is due to be rebranded with a time-honored name: Rocketdyne.

    If all goes according to plan, the facility will become part of a joint venture created under the terms of an $845 million deal involving L3Harris Tec

  4. Amazon, FedEx and UPS? Who is going to deliver packages now? I vote for the Girl Scouts. I trust them considerably more than I do any corporation making money from Republican domestic terrorism.

    Dear Robert, have you ever heard of a hashtag?

  5. Peter Williams admits to selling unpatched iPhone bugs to a shady Russian broker.

    The former head of #L3Harris​’s #Trenchant “offensive cyber” division has admitted to stealing a weapons-grade exploit chain worth $35 million and then selling it for personal gain. The feds charged #PeterWilliams last week—and this week he’s decided to ’fess up.

    The company’s not on trial, but the story raises important questions about the national security risks of outsourcing such weaponry. In #SBBlogwatch, we go out with a whimper.

  6. The Register: Cyber exec with lavish lifestyle charged with selling secrets to Russia. “Federal prosecutors have charged a former general manager of US government defense contractor L3Harris’s cyber arm Trenchant with selling secrets to an unidentified Russian buyer for $1.3 million.”

I spoke with Paul Sciarra of #eVTOL developer #Joby #Aviation about the company's new partnership with #L3Harris to develop a gas turbine hybrid #aircraft for #defense missions, including the implications for its partnership with Toyota.

  8. #Trump ally #ElonMusk's #rocket & #satellite company #SpaceX has emerged as a frontrunner alongside #software firm #Palantir & #drone maker #Anduril to build key components of the system, Reuters reported last month.

    Many of the early systems are expected to come from existing production lines. Attendees at the WhiteHouse presser w/Trump on Tues named #L3Harris, #LockheedMartin & #RTXCorp as potential contractors for the massive project.

  10. Cell Site Simulators ( #CSS ), also known as #IMSI catchers,
    are among law enforcement’s most closely-guarded secret surveillance tools.

    They act like real cell phone towers,
    🔸“tricking” mobile devices into connecting to them,
    🔸designed to intercept the information that phones send and receive,
    🔸like the location of the user and metadata for phone calls, text messages, and other app traffic.

    CSS are highly invasive and are used covertly.

    In the past, law enforcement used a technique called
    “parallel construction”
    —collecting evidence in a different way to reach an existing conclusion
    💥in order to avoid disclosing how law enforcement originally collected it💥
    —. 👉to circumvent public disclosure of location findings made through CSS. 👈

    This technology is like a dragging fishing net, rather than a focused single hook in the water.

    Every phone in the vicinity connects with the device;
    🔥even people completely unrelated to an investigation get wrapped up in the surveillance. 🔥

    CSS, like other surveillance technologies, subjects civilians to widespread data collection,
    even those who have not been involved with a crime,
    and has been used against protestors and other protected groups, undermining their civil liberties.

    ⭐️Their adoption should require public disclosure,
    ⭐️but this rarely occurs.

    In Massachusetts, agencies are expected to get a #warrant before conducting any cell-based location tracking.
    The City of Boston is known to own a CSS. 

    Dozens of policing agencies are currently using cell-site simulators (CSS) by #Jacobs #Technology and its Engineering Integration Group (EIG), according to newly-available documents on how that company provides CSS capabilities to local law enforcement.

    A proposal document from Jacobs Technology,
    provided to the Massachusetts State Police (MSP) and first spotted by the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism (BINJ),
    outlines elements of the company’s CSS services, which include discreet integration of the CSS system into a Chevrolet Silverado and lifetime technical support .

    The proposal document from Jacobs provides some of the most comprehensive information about modern CSS that the public has had access to in years.

    It confirms that law enforcement has access to CSS
    ♦️capable of operating on 5G
    ♦️as well as older cellular standards.

    It also gives us our first look at modern CSS hardware.

    The Jacobs system runs on at least nine software-defined radios that simulate cellular network protocols on multiple frequencies
    and can also gather #wifi intelligence.

    As these documents describe, these CSS are meant to be concealed within a common vehicle.

    Antennas are hidden under a false roof so nothing can be seen outside the vehicles,
    which is a shift from the more visible antennas and cargo van-sized deployments we’ve seen before.

    The system also comes with a TRACHEA2+ and JUGULAR2+ for 🔹direction finding and 🔹mobile direction finding.

    Important to the MSP contract is the modification of a Chevrolet Silverado with the CSS system.

    This includes both the surreptitious installment of the CSS hardware into the truck and the integration of its software user interface into the navigational system of the vehicle.

    According to Jacobs, this is the kind of installation with which they have a lot of experience.

    Jacobs has built its CSS project on military and intelligence community relationships,
    which are now informing development of a tool used in domestic communities,
    not foreign warzones.

    #Harris #Corporation, later #L3Harris #Technologies, Inc.,
    was the largest provider of CSS technology to domestic law enforcement
    but stopped selling to non-federal agencies in 2020.

    Once Harris stopped selling to local law enforcement the market was open to several competitors,
    one of the largest of which was #KeyW #Corporation.

    Following👉 Jacobs’s 2019 acquisition of The KeyW Corporation 👈and its Engineering Integration Group (EIG),
    Jacobs is now a leading provider of CSS to police,
    and it claims to have
    🌟more than 300 current CSS deployments globally. 🌟

  11. Norway sovereign wealth fund excludes Adani Ports & SEZ over ethical concerns
