The Administrative Office of the US Courts reported that a cyberattack on contractor BAE Systems disabled the bankruptcy noticing system it runs for the federal Judiciary. The outage took down several sites, including bnc.uscourts.gov and the National Creditor Registration Service, halting production and distribution of bankruptcy notices. BAE Systems is investigating and working with court officials to restore service, though no timeline was given.

Swedish startup Scaleout Systems showed off an autonomous loitering munition, built on a BAE Systems Bofors airframe, that used onboard AI running on an Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano to detect, rank and strike an armored vehicle without human guidance mid-mission. The demo, part of NATO's DIANA-backed ALMA and FEDAIR programs, completed the full flight in under 320 seconds using no external communications, relying instead on locally trained computer-vision models shared via a 'Tactical Computer Vision Network.' A human pilot remained available as a failsafe but was not required once the mission began.
