MIL-OSI United Nations: 30 June 2025 PRET for impact: Advancing pandemic preparedness in Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
Source: World Health Organisation
On 8-9 May 2025, a core team from the DPR Korea Ministry of Public Health participated in a two-day virtual workshop. The workshop included a mini-simulation exercise and was organized by WHO SEARO in collaboration with WHO’s Preparedness and Resilience to Emerging Threats (PRET) Secretariat at WHO Headquarters and the WHO Country Office for DPR Korea.

Adapted from WHO’s Exercise panPRET-1, the simulation focused on a fictional influenza outbreak to test national systems for surveillance, risk assessment and response coordination. The exercise highlighted both strengths and areas for improvement in DPR Korea’s preparedness planning.

Key outcomes of this exercise included:
- a trained cadre of national facilitators ready to lead future simulation exercises; and
- a roadmap for revising the National Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Plan (NIPPP) to include respiratory pathogens.
Building on the experience from an in-person regional simulation exercise held in 2024, this event highlighted the value of knowledge sharing and developing practical skills through virtual engagement to build a sustainable, country-led response.

The existing NIPPP was updated in 2019, with the inputs from in-country workshop supported by experts from all levels of WHO. Looking ahead, DPR Korea plans to conduct a national multisectoral workshop and simulation exercise later in 2025, led by newly trained facilitators. These efforts will directly support the ongoing revision of the current NIPPP into broader PRET based plan and contribute to stronger national health security.

Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth: RBI

Despite an uncertain and challenging global economic backdrop, the Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth, underpinned by sound macroeconomic fundamentals and prudent macroeconomic policies, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said on Monday.

The Reserve Bank, in the June 2025 issue of its ‘Financial Stability Report (FSR)’, said that elevated economic and trade policy uncertainties are testing the resilience of the global economy and the financial system.

“Financial markets remain volatile, especially core government bond markets, driven by shifting policy and geopolitical environment. Alongside, existing vulnerabilities such as soaring public debt levels and elevated asset valuations have the potential to amplify fresh shocks,” it read.

However, the domestic financial system is exhibiting resilience fortified by healthy balance sheets of banks and non-banks, said the RBI.

Financial conditions have eased supported by accommodative monetary policy and low volatility in financial markets. The strength of the corporate balance sheets also lends support to overall macroeconomic stability.

“The soundness and resilience of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) are bolstered by robust capital buffers, multi-decadal low non-performing loans ratio and strong earnings,” the RBI report mentioned.

Results of macro stress tests affirm that most SCBs have adequate capital buffers relative to the regulatory minimum even under adverse stress scenarios. Stress tests also validate the resilience of mutual funds and clearing corporations.

“Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) remain healthy with sizable capital buffers, robust earnings and improving asset quality. The consolidated solvency ratio of the insurance sector also remains above the minimum threshold limit,” it noted.

In this global milieu, the Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth. Growth momentum is buoyed by strong domestic growth drivers, sound macroeconomic fundamentals and prudent policies.

“Nonetheless, external spillovers and weather-related events could pose downside risks to growth. The outlook for inflation, on the other hand, is benign and there is greater confidence in the durable alignment of inflation with the Reserve Bank’s target,” said RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra.

Financial sector regulators remain committed to protecting customers, promoting competition and fostering innovation as they strike the right balance between improving efficiency and growth, and safety and soundness.

“Financial stability, like price stability, is a necessary condition, and not a sufficient one to boost India’s potential growth. As custodians of financial stability, we must endeavour to develop a well-functioning financial system that not only promotes macroeconomic stability but also provides financial services efficiently,” said Malhotra.

The NATO Innovation Fund has made its first investment in a biotechnology company, it said on Monday, seeking to enhance defences against biological threats

The fund is co-leading a $35 million fundraising round for Portal Biotech, which uses protein sequencing to detect engineered threats and defend against biological warfare.

UK-based Portal Biotech’s capability is essential for biosecurity defence and security, said Ana Bernardo-Gancedo, senior associate at NATO Innovation Fund.

“We believe that it is absolutely imperative that we are able to detect, monitor and create countermeasures,” she said.

The fund, created in 2022 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, plans to invest more than $1 billion in technologies that would enhance NATO’s defences.

Portal Biotech uses an AI-backed technology with biological sensors that can work at the single molecule level on-site, giving results within hours.

“It’s for everything from measuring diseases to better pandemic prevention … you can take this out of large labs with long turnaround times and into the field,” CEO Andy Heron told Reuters.

Heron said the company’s instruments can detect any pathogen and can be used for continuous monitoring of anything from a field to water supply.

“It allows you not just to detect what you did know was out there, but it allows you to detect what you didn’t know,” he said.

Beyond biosecurity, Portal Biotech expects its portable equipment to aid in drug discovery and precision medicine.

The company’s investors include Earlybird Venture Capital, Science Creates VC, Pillar VC, 8VC, We VC and British Business Bank.

MIL-OSI USA: Overcoming Engineering Challenges Was No Problem for This Student Team

Source: US State of Connecticut

Senior Design Demonstration Day is a pivotal day for graduating UConn Engineering students. It is where students can show the knowledge and skills they have acquired during their time at UConn through practical, real-world engineering applications.

One specific team was tasked with designing, building, and testing an unmanned electric hydroplane, with the end goal being to compete in ASNE’s 2025 Promoting Electric Propulsion (PEP) Competition. The objective of the competition included completing a 2-mile-long course at a minimum speed of 10 MPH, along with optimizing the boat for a payload of at least 30 pounds.

The joint team consisted of students from the mechanical engineering department and the electrical and computer engineering department and was sponsored by the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE), aided by ASNE advisor Michael Briscoe.

ME04 was comprised of students, Noah Hyman, Ian Pichs, Aldin Sabovic, Christopher Capozzi, and James Arnold and was advised by faculty Chang Liu. ECE13 included students Xingyu Qiu, Joshua Colon, and Thomas Clark and was advised by faculty Ashwin Dani.

“This senior design project gave me hands-on experience solving real-world engineering challenges through teamwork and collaboration,” said Arnold. “I was also able to forge valuable connections with industry professionals.”

Arnold was able to strengthen these connections, and recently received a post-grad offer of employment from General Dynamics Electric Boat. He’ll work as a systems engineer in the overhaul and repair engineering department.

The team said they were excited to take on this challenge. After reviewing where the 2023-2024 year’s team experienced difficulties, the team evaluated new propulsion systems and hull designs. They also researched batteries, motors, and cooling systems to mitigate various points of failure.

“A major part of this project included working with underclassmen,” said Pichs. “We were able to pass down our knowledge about electric propulsion systems, hull design, and nautical operational systems to them.”

When it came time to design their boat, the team opted for a J-class racing hydroplane, focusing on robustness to help ensure they completed the course. They chose a battery with increased capacity to account for added weight and suboptimal surface conditions, along with a higher performing motor. The cooling system they designed was minimal, helping to reduce points of failure or leakage.

As the team was gearing up for the April competition, they ran into some issues, mainly the weather. With inclement weather taking over New England, the team was only able to complete two full-system tests prior to leaving for the competition down in Virginia Beach.

During one of their tests, water intruded into the hull, shorting one of the most critical electrical components in the boat, the electronic speed controller (ESC). With limited time, the team needed to act fast and source a replacement.

Just one day before leaving, they secured a less powerful, air-cooled ESC.

During the qualifying lap for the competition, the team faced even more problems. They struggled to see the motor’s steering direction and the replacement ESC overheated due to increased load on the boat.

While the team qualified for the race, they had some serious issues to address prior to race day.

The team regrouped and put their heads together to come up with fast, innovative solutions.

To address their lack of visibility when steering the boat, the team opted to tape color-coded cardboard fins to either side of the motor. This allowed the team to easily see the steering direction.

The overheating of the new ESC posed a larger, more complex issue. Realizing that traditional air- or water-cooling could lead to further water damage inside the electronics bay, the team came up with an innovative solution… dry ice. The team realized they could pack the dry box with dry ice for cooling and silica powder to control moisture buildup.

The students split up into two teams; the first team addressed the steering issue, installing the color-coded fins to the motor; the second team sourced the dry ice they needed to pack the dry box with.

“Working on this project opened my eyes to how important it is to not give up when something goes wrong,” said Hyman, who is also now employed by General Dynamics Electric Boat. “There are always different ways to solve a problem.”

With both teams completing their tasks, the team was able to launch their boat at the start of the competition. Albeit, anxiously waiting to see if the quick fixes would hold up for the duration of the 2-mile course.

The team’s innovative and quick-thinking solutions paid off. They completed the course in 34 minutes, maintaining over 80% of the boat’s battery capacity, despite having a 60-lb payload.

“As Vice President of the Electric Boat Club, it was incredibly rewarding to see our team push through setbacks with creative solutions,” said Capozzi. “Whether it was sourcing parts last minute or coming up with dry ice cooling the night before the race, we proved what hands-on engineering and teamwork looks like at UConn.”

While they weren’t the fastest in the competition, the team left proud of their accomplishment and honored to represent UConn Engineering.

The ECE team placed first among the department’s teams in the Senior Design Demonstration Day student competition.

Post-Graduation Plans

The Senior Design program fosters and rewards student development. The process starts by working with a potential employer. Students are exposed to products, engineering practices, and the company sponsor’s culture, allowing them to assess their potential fit in the workplace. By having real-world engineer responsibilities for two semesters, students improve their marketability in the workforce. They demonstrate their success on Senior Design Day, graduate, and then leave UConn ready to serve as fully-qualified engineers.

Hyman and Arnold are now working at General Dynamic Electric Boat. Colon now works at Siemens as a building automation controls system specialist. Capozzi said he is exploring job opportunities in design and manufacturing in the naval and aerospace industries. Pichs, Sabovic, Qiu, and Clark were unavailable for a comment about their post-graduation plans.

Designed for those with scores under 600, the platform connects users with licensed lenders offering bad credit personal loans guaranteed approval $5,000 or more, depending on income.

Why Bad Credit Borrowers Turn to No Credit Check Loans

The rising need for more inclusive lending has driven demand for bad credit loans, including no credit check loans and options with guaranteed approval.

These urgent loans for bad credit allow people to manage financial crises without immediate rejection due to low scores.

MIL-OSI: Trust Stamp Partners with Neural Payments to Bring Innovative ID Security to the $3.2 Trillion P2P Payment Sector

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

With 8% of all banking customers saying they’ve been victimized by a P2P scam in the last 12 months, Trust Stamp and Neural Payments partner to decrease the risk of fraud and make banks and their customers more secure

Atlanta, GA, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trust Stamp (Nasdaq: IDAI) today announced a partnership with Neural Payments for the integration of Trust Stamp’s low-code Orchestration Platform. Neural Payments provides banks and credit unions with real-time person-to-person (P2P) payments, advanced fraud prevention, and flexible disbursement solutions. This integration provides robust Identity Verification for Know Your Customer (KYC) processes and selfie-based reauthentication for payments.

With the proliferation of popular P2P apps like PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle, the global P2P payment market size is projected to hit USD 3.63 trillion this year and reach USD 16.21 trillion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 18.10% from 2025 to 2034. Fraudsters have taken notice and are using combinations of generative AI and social engineering to intercept payments or trick users into voluntarily sending them money.

Andrew Gowasack, Trust Stamp’s President, commented, “I am excited to partner with Neural Payments to bring our AI-powered technology to the payment sector. Neural Payments has taken a proactive approach by enabling users to enroll using their face and government ID document, then to approve future payments with a selfie. Rather than storing sensitive biometric information, selfies are converted into Irreversibly Transformed Identity Tokens (IT2) which can be compared to future IT2. There is no need for callbacks, insecure one-time passcodes sent via SMS or email, or authenticator apps. Approving a payment is as easy as taking a selfie!”

Andrew Gowasack added, “Neural Payments already serves nearly 80 financial institutions, bringing the highest levels of security while removing friction for both payee and recipient. The Neural Payments team brings significant payments experience and top-tier technology. Financial institutions now have the convenience of security through Neural Payments, along with the strength of Trust Stamp’s identity fraud detection.”

Mick Oppy, founder and CEO of Neural Payments, commented, “At Neural Payments, we’re committed to making it easier and safer for banks and credit unions to offer the P2P experiences their customers demand. Fraud mitigation is no longer a passive issue for financial institutions – it’s a top concern that requires real-time and preemptive action. By integrating Trust Stamp’s cutting-edge identity verification directly into the payment flow, we’re equipping financial institutions with the tools to reduce fraud, streamline authentication, and keep their customers’ money and trust exactly where it belongs. With Trust Stamp, we’re signaling our commitment to both our customers and our 2025 growth aspirations as we push towards becoming the FinTech of choice for P2P payments.”

Both Trust Stamp and Neural Payments are graduates of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) ThinkTECH Accelerator. ICBA exclusively represents the nation’s nearly 4,500 community banks in the United States through its advocacy, education, and innovation pillars.

“Partnerships like this fulfill the promise of ICBA’s ThinkTECH Accelerator to drive innovation that addresses our industry’s most pressing challenges and opportunities,” said Charles Potts, ICBA executive vice president and chief innovation officer. “By combining advanced identity verification with seamless real-time payments, Trust Stamp and Neural Payments are delivering a solution tailored to community bank priorities—strengthening security, simplifying compliance, and elevating the customer experience.”

MIL-OSI Economics: The path to medical superintelligence

Source: Microsoft

Headline: The path to medical superintelligence

The Microsoft AI team shares research that demonstrates how AI can sequentially investigate and solve medicine’s most complex diagnostic challenges—cases that expert physicians struggle to answer.

Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians. MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians.

—

As demand for healthcare continues to grow, costs are rising at an unsustainable pace, and billions of people face multiple barriers to better health – including inaccurate and delayed diagnoses. Increasingly, people are turning to digital tools for medical advice and support. Across Microsoft’s AI consumer products like Bing and Copilot, we see over 50 million health-related sessions every day. From a first-time knee-pain query to a late-night search for an urgent-care clinic, search engines and AI companions are quickly becoming the new front line in healthcare.

We want to do more to help -and believe generative AI can be transformational. That’s why, at the end of 2024, we launched a dedicated consumer health effort at Microsoft AI, led by clinicians, designers, engineers, and AI scientists. This effort complements Microsoft’s broader health initiatives and builds on our longstanding commitment to partnership and innovation. Existing solutions include RAD-DINO which helps accelerate and improve radiology workflows and Microsoft Dragon Copilot, our pioneering voice-first AI assistant for clinicians.

For AI to make a difference, clinicians and patients alike must be able to trust its performance. That’s where our new benchmarks and AI orchestrator come in.

Medical Case Challenges and Benchmarks

To practice medicine in the United States, physicians need to pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), a rigorous and standardized assessment of clinical knowledge and decision making. USMLE questions were among the earliest benchmarks used to evaluate AI systems in medicine, offering a structured way to compare model performance – both against each other and against human clinicians.

In just three years, generative AI has advanced to the point of scoring near-perfect scores on the USMLE and similar exams. But these tests primarily rely on multiple-choice questions, which favor memorization over deep understanding. By reducing medicine to one-shot answers on multiple-choice questions, such benchmarks overstate the apparent competence of AI systems and obscure their limitations.

At Microsoft AI, we’re working to advance and evaluate clinical reasoning capabilities. To move beyond the limitations of multiple-choice questions, we’ve focused on sequential diagnosis, a cornerstone of real-world medical decision making.  In this process, a clinician begins with an initial patient presentation and then iteratively selects questions and diagnostic tests to arrive at a final diagnosis. For example, a patient presenting with cough and fever may lead the clinician to order and review blood tests and a chest X-ray before they feel confident about diagnosing pneumonia.

Each week, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) – one of the world’s leading medical journals – publishes a Case Record of the Massachusetts General Hospital, presenting a patient’s care journey in a detailed, narrative format. These cases are among the most diagnostically complex and intellectually demanding in clinical medicine, often requiring multiple specialists and diagnostic tests to reach a definitive diagnosis.

How does AI perform? To answer this, we created interactive case challenges drawn from the NEJM case series – what we call the Sequential Diagnosis Benchmark (SD Bench). This benchmark transforms 304 recent NEJM cases into stepwise diagnostic encounters where models – or human physicians – can iteratively ask questions and order tests. As new information becomes available, the model or clinician updates their reasoning, gradually narrowing toward a final diagnosis. This diagnosis can then be compared to the gold-standard outcome published in the NEJM.

Each requested investigation also incurs a (virtual) cost, reflecting real-world healthcare expenditures. This allows us to evaluate performance across two key dimensions: diagnostic accuracy and resource expenditure.  You can watch how an AI system progresses through one of these challenges in this short video.

Headline: The path to medical superintelligence

The Microsoft AI team shares research that demonstrates how AI can sequentially investigate and solve medicine’s most complex diagnostic challenges—cases that expert physicians struggle to answer.

Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians. MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians.

—

As demand for healthcare continues to grow, costs are rising at an unsustainable pace, and billions of people face multiple barriers to better health – including inaccurate and delayed diagnoses. Increasingly, people are turning to digital tools for medical advice and support. Across Microsoft’s AI consumer products like Bing and Copilot, we see over 50 million health-related sessions every day. From a first-time knee-pain query to a late-night search for an urgent-care clinic, search engines and AI companions are quickly becoming the new front line in healthcare.

We want to do more to help -and believe generative AI can be transformational. That’s why, at the end of 2024, we launched a dedicated consumer health effort at Microsoft AI, led by clinicians, designers, engineers, and AI scientists. This effort complements Microsoft’s broader health initiatives and builds on our longstanding commitment to partnership and innovation. Existing solutions include RAD-DINO which helps accelerate and improve radiology workflows and Microsoft Dragon Copilot, our pioneering voice-first AI assistant for clinicians.

For AI to make a difference, clinicians and patients alike must be able to trust its performance. That’s where our new benchmarks and AI orchestrator come in.

Medical Case Challenges and Benchmarks

To practice medicine in the United States, physicians need to pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), a rigorous and standardized assessment of clinical knowledge and decision making. USMLE questions were among the earliest benchmarks used to evaluate AI systems in medicine, offering a structured way to compare model performance – both against each other and against human clinicians.

In just three years, generative AI has advanced to the point of scoring near-perfect scores on the USMLE and similar exams. But these tests primarily rely on multiple-choice questions, which favor memorization over deep understanding. By reducing medicine to one-shot answers on multiple-choice questions, such benchmarks overstate the apparent competence of AI systems and obscure their limitations.

At Microsoft AI, we’re working to advance and evaluate clinical reasoning capabilities. To move beyond the limitations of multiple-choice questions, we’ve focused on sequential diagnosis, a cornerstone of real-world medical decision making.  In this process, a clinician begins with an initial patient presentation and then iteratively selects questions and diagnostic tests to arrive at a final diagnosis. For example, a patient presenting with cough and fever may lead the clinician to order and review blood tests and a chest X-ray before they feel confident about diagnosing pneumonia.

MIL-OSI: YURU COIN Officially Launches, Bringing Japan’s National Mascot Phenomenon into Web3

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

TOKYO, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YURU COIN, the official token of Japan’s beloved Yuru-Chara Grand Prix, has officially launched, marking the first time the country’s largest regional mascot competition enters the blockchain era. With over 738 million page views and 170 million cumulative votes since 2011, the Grand Prix has become a cornerstone of Japanese pop culture — and now, YURU COIN is set to transform this legacy into a decentralized digital economy.

A Token Built on Scarcity: The Deflationary Model

YURU COIN operates on a fully deflationary tokenomics model. All tokens were minted at launch — with no additional issuance ever planned. Every time fans vote, participate in official campaigns, or interact with mascot NFTs, YURU COIN is burned or consumed, reducing the available supply. This unique economic structure ensures increasing scarcity and potential value growth as user engagement grows. Unlike speculative tokens that inflate markets with excess supply, YURU COIN’s value is driven by cultural participation and real-world utility.

Real Cultural Utility: From Votes to Economic Power
YURU COIN is not just a cryptocurrency—it is a token of participation in one of Japan’s most widely recognized and cherished cultural events. The Yuru-Chara Grand Prix has become a national tradition, allowing hundreds of regional mascots to gain popularity and recognition through fan voting and local promotions. And the results have been more than symbolic—they’ve been economic.

Consider Kumamon, the bear mascot from Kumamoto Prefecture and the Grand Prix’s first-ever champion. As of 2024, Kumamon’s merchandise sales reached ¥162.6 billion, with a record high of ¥166.4 billion in 2023, and a cumulative economic impact exceeding ¥1.45 trillion ($10 billion USD). This demonstrates the real-world power of character branding—not just for public relations, but for regional economies.

Winning the Yuru-Chara Grand Prix can literally be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in economic value — and now, YURU COIN gives fans a tokenized way to help make that happen.

A Decentralized Bridge Between Culture and Crypto

With the introduction of YURU COIN, voting for your favorite character is no longer just symbolic — it becomes an act of economic support.

Every vote powered by YURU COIN reinforces scarcity, creates digital demand, and fuels a new layer of community engagement. Fans, municipalities, and businesses alike can align around a decentralized, transparent voting and reward system that reflects real value.

This marks a major shift: from character branding as passive entertainment to token-driven, participatory economics.

Cross-Border Potential: Proven in China
Before the pandemic, the Yuru-Chara Grand Prix had already begun cultural collaboration initiatives in China, including public exhibitions and mascot exchanges.

Although temporarily paused by COVID-19, these efforts are now set to resume — with YURU COIN acting as the digital infrastructure to support global voting, character campaigns, and NFT-based engagement across borders.

By combining local culture with decentralized technology, YURU COIN is positioned to expand this unique Japanese character tradition to international audiences, starting with China and the broader Asian market.

The Future of Mascots is On-Chain

Mascots like Kumamon have proven that cute characters can generate trillion-yen-level economic value through emotional resonance, strong storytelling, and regional identity.

With YURU COIN, the next generation of mascot champions will rise not only through votes but through on-chain validation, powered by community support, blockchain transparency, and deflationary mechanics.

This is more than a token. It’s a cultural infrastructure. It’s a gateway to a new kind of participation economy — where the people decide, and the blockchain records.

Join the movement. Vote with value. Power the future of character culture.

Case study

Laser Focus: DASA and Dstl funding accelerates novel laser detection tech

A novel laser detection system developed by Sentinel Photonics has evolved from a promising concept to commercial technology through DASA and Dstl support.
Sentinel Photonics was founded in 2019 by former Dstl scientists who developed innovative laser detection technology. The scientists spun out their own company in 2020, licencing the technology from Dstl.

Another DASA-funded innovation which protects users’ eyesight from lasers has been adopted on the Army’s KS1 rifles.

Sentinel Photonics also secured a DASA Defence Innovation Loan to help grow the size of their team and further develop the technology.

The company has grown at a remarkable pace, from one full-time employee to a team of 20, with products being deployed across NATO nations.

The Innovation Journey

For military personnel operating in hostile environments, detecting adversaries’ lasers is a vital capability. From artillery targeting systems to drones, sniper range finders and precision strike guided munitions, lasers pose an increasing threat on the modern battlefield.

This challenge inspired Sean Tipper and Chris Burgess, while working as scientists at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), to develop a new approach to laser detection. Their innovation showed great promise during development at Dstl, where the core technology was conceived and initially tested.

“We worked on the core technology at Dstl for a number of years, developing the fundamental concepts,” explains Sean Tipper, now Chief Technology Officer at Sentinel Photonics. “We saw the potential for this technology to help protect our forces and founded Sentinel Photonics to take it to the next level of development and productisation.”

In 2019 the scientists and Ploughshare Innovations founded Sentinel Photonics to commercialise their invention, licencing the IP from Dstl and the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The company formally began operations in late 2020 with the critical support of early Dstl funding through the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA).

A new way of detecting lasers

Traditional laser warning systems rely on photodiodes that convert light to voltage, looking for rapid temporal changes. They look for quick, sharp changes, similar to how you can notice someone flicking a torch on and off in a dark room.

While effective for detecting laser pulses, they struggle with continuous wave lasers and can generate false alarms.

Sentinel’s breakthrough product, LASERD MAX (Laser Signal and Event Recording Device), uses a unique camera-based method that detects the spectral and spatial features of lasers. What sets LASERD MAX apart from conventional systems is its portability and comprehensive coverage. It doesn’t just monitor a narrow field of view but provides complete awareness.

Sentinel Photonics’ LASERD MAX system in action

“It’s more of an all-encompassing system,” explains Tipper. “It’s easy to detect one laser in one direction, but what makes our system unique is the ability to detect many different types of lasers simultaneously in a clustered background, even in challenging daylight conditions.”

The system can detect everything from drone LIDAR systems and artillery rangefinders to anti-tank guided missiles. It can also spot battlefield scanning systems that use invisible lasers to find hidden optics like sniper scopes.

“Our system can detect a broad range of laser threats,” says Tipper. “It’s novel because it’s portable and standalone, targeted for dismounted use and also at forward operating bases.”

The DASA and Dstl Impact

DASA and Dstl support proved instrumental at multiple points in Sentinel Photonics’ development journey. Their first DASA projects in late 2020 provided critical funding that allowed Tipper to work full-time on developing the technology.

“Those early DASA projects were really critical because that’s where I experimented with different sensors and camera systems and picked the exact sensors and optics we’re still using today,” says Tipper.

As Sentinel Photonics progressed with their innovation journey, they reached a critical point where they needed to grow their team to meet increasing demand and develop their technology further.

In 2022, DASA’s Defence Innovation Loans provided the perfect opportunity to take this next step.

The loan helped transform the organisation from a founder-led startup into a growing enterprise with the capabilities to deliver advanced defence technology.

“Without the Defence Innovation Loan, we wouldn’t have been able to deliver for Dstl, and we wouldn’t have had the resources to increase the size of our team,” Tipper notes.

Commercial Success

Sentinel Photonics’ progress has been remarkable. From just one person working part-time in 2020, the company has grown to 20 people by 2025. Their product line has expanded to include not just the LASERD MAX detection system but also products such as FROST (Filters for Reduction of Optical Signature Thresholds).

The FROST system, also developed with DASA funding and Dstl technical support, protects eyes from laser damage and prevents detection by scanning systems. This technology has achieved significant commercial success and has been integrated into the KS1 rifles that have entered service with UK Armed Forces through a partnership with Edgar Brothers, Sentinels UK partner, as part of the Hunter programme.

Sentinel Photonics’ FROST system installed on a KS1 scope

The company has also expanded its reach beyond the UK. “We’re expanding across Europe and NATO nations in general, finding partners to bring our products into those markets,” says Tipper. “There’s a direct link from DASA-funded work to us making sales and getting partners into markets.”

The SME has now established strategic collaborations with Glomex in Poland, TBM in the Netherlands, StarC4SIS in Romania and Precision Technic Defence Group in Denmark to add to its already established partnerships with Danger Solutions in Australia and Outervision in France.

The Collaborative Ecosystem

Sentinel’s story highlights the powerful collaboration between Dstl, DASA, and innovative small businesses. Dstl provided the foundation for the core technology and continues to work with Sentinel Photonics by providing technical support. DASA helped bridge the critical gap between concept and the commercially viable product.

For Sentinel, DASA’s involvement has offered more than just funding. “DASA has been a very useful mechanism to test ideas and feasibility within defence,” explains Tipper. “It gives us a way to understand how important what we’re developing is to potential users and get early sight of that as well.”

Looking ahead, Sentinel aims to shift from an R&D focused in its early years to a balanced commercial approach to increase their foothold in defence.

As threats continue to evolve on the modern battlefield, innovations like Sentinel’s laser detection systems and FROST system can play an increasingly vital role in protecting UK and coalition forces. Their journey from laboratory concept to battlefield protection demonstrates the importance of supporting promising defence technologies through the challenging path of commercialisation.

MIL-OSI Russia: Grigory Kulishenko defended the Chinese people at the cost of his life and will forever remain in the memory of future generations

CHONGQING, June 30 (Xinhua) — Wei Yingxiang, a native of Wanzhou in southwest China’s Chongqing City, never imagined that his life would be linked to a Soviet pilot he had never met. The pilot’s name was Grigory Akimovich Kulishenko.

Grigory Akimovich Kulishenko, born in 1903, became a squadron commander of bombers in the Soviet Air Force, and in 1939, together with his comrades, was sent by the Soviet government to China with two groups of bombers to help the Chinese people in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

In October 1939, G. A. Kulishenko, leading a bomber group of the volunteer air forces for aid to China, carried out a raid on the Japanese airfield in Hankou and inflicted serious damage on the Japanese army.

On the way back, G. A. Kulishenko’s plane was intercepted by the enemy and one of the engines was shot down, as a result of which he was wounded in the chest and left shoulder. When he took off over Wanxian County (now Wanzhou District, Chongqing City), the plane lost its balance, and in order to protect the plane and people on the ground, the commander refused the parachute and made an emergency landing on the surface of the Yangtze River in the Chenjiaba District of Wanxian County.

Two of his comrades swam to the shore, but the wounded Kulishenko was carried away by the current and died a heroic death at the age of 36.

Local residents found the pilot’s body 20 days later. They held a memorial service and funeral in his honor.

“I experience the misfortune of the Chinese people as if I were experiencing the misfortune of my homeland. It is very hard for me to see how the Japanese indiscriminately bomb Chinese soil,” G. Kulishenko said with feeling during his lifetime.

The Chinese people have not forgotten this hero.

In 1958, the Wanxian County People’s Government built a special cemetery for G. Kulishenko. That year, Wei Yingxiang was 4 years old. He thought that this hero must be great.

Wei Yingxiang’s grandfather lived by the Yangtze River and volunteered to search for G. A. Kulishenko’s remains along the river along with many other people. His grandfather told him that G. A. Kulishenko died defending the Chinese people.

That year, Wei Yingxiang’s mother, Tan Zhonghui, took on the duties of guardian of G.A. Kulishenko’s grave. At the age of 31, Tan Zhonghui was engaged in landscaping in Xishan Park. Due to her respect for G.A. Kulishenko, she volunteered to guard the grave, clean the cemetery, wipe the tombstone, pull out weeds, trim branches and leaves, regardless of the weather.

In 1977, before retiring, Wei Yingxiang’s mother wanted to entrust her son with guarding the grave. Young Wei Yongxiang thought that working at the cemetery was boring and monotonous. But his mother insisted that he should be persistent even in monotonous tasks: “This hero’s home is far from Chongqing, and he has no relatives here, so we should accompany him and not let him feel lonely.”

Since then, guarding the grave of Grigory Kulishenko became the most honorable thing in Wei Yingxiang’s life. There were organizations and enterprises that offered him a high salary, but Wei Yingxiang rejected the offers one after another.

After retiring in 2014, he still visits the cemetery every day, as if visiting an old friend. “I always worry and worry about him,” Wei Yingxiang said, adding that his mother also influenced him. After her retirement, she would go to the cemetery every morning to check if everything was in order, so that her heart would be at peace. In 2018, Tan Zhonghui died at the age of 91. Before her death, she still remembered Grigory Kulishenko’s grave and asked her son to protect it.

For decades, under the care of this mother and son, the G. A. Kulishenko cemetery has served as an example of the gratitude of the Chinese people, and the exploits of the heroes have been passed down from generation to generation.

Around the tombstone of G. Kulishenko grow tall trees planted by Tan Zhonghui, Wei Yingxiang’s mother. He said that he would guard this grave during his lifetime, because for him “this is not only a responsibility and deep gratitude, but also the conscience of the Chinese people.” -0-

Headline: Apple Music celebrates 10 years with the launch of a new global hub for artists

June 30, 2025

PRESS RELEASE

Apple Music celebrates 10 years with the launch of a new global hub for artists designed to foster creativity and connection

Tune in to Apple Music Radio for a broadcast celebration with hosts Zane Lowe, Ebro Darden, and special guests as they reminisce about their favorite moments from the past 10 years while looking toward the future

CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA As Apple Music marks its 10th anniversary this year, Apple unveils its most ambitious creative project to date: a brand-new state-of-the-art studio space in Los Angeles dedicated to artist-driven content, innovation in audio, and deeper fan connection.

Opening this summer, the new studio represents a major milestone in Apple’s continued mission to support artists at every level by giving them the tools, platform, and creative freedom to tell their stories in entirely new ways. More than just a studio in the traditional sense, the new space is a creative campus that reflects a decade of Apple Music’s commitment to high-quality sound, authentic storytelling, and artist-first experiences.

“Apple Music Radio has always been a home for storytelling and artistry, serving as a space for bold conversations and surprising moments,” said Rachel Newman, Apple Music’s co-head. “With this new studio, we are furthering our commitment to creating a space for artists to create, connect, and share their vision.”

A Creative Ecosystem Built for Artists

Designed with artists in mind, Apple Music’s new studio space in Los Angeles is a three-story, over-15,000-square-foot facility that includes:
- Two advanced radio studios with immersive Spatial Audio playback and adaptable setups for live interviews, casual chats, or impromptu performances.
- A 4,000-square-foot soundstage for live performances, multicam shoots, fan events, and screenings.
- A dedicated Spatial Audio mixing room outfitted with a 9.2.4 PMC speaker system for next-level sound production.
- A photo and social media lab, edit room, and green room to support real-time content creation.
- Private isolation booths for songwriting, podcasting, and one-on-one interviews.
- The A-List Corridor and Archive Corridor, showcasing images and artwork of unforgettable moments from Apple Music’s past and present.
Global Vision, Local Roots

Apple Music’s new Los Angeles studio will anchor a global network of creative hubs already active in places including New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, and Nashville, with additional studios coming soon. With this launch, the service continues to innovate, not just in how music is streamed, but also in how it’s made, experienced, and shared. From radio to live performance, to fan engagement and content creation, this new studio will serve as a creative home for the next decade of music.

The Power of Apple Music Radio

Since its inception, Apple Music Radio has been a defining feature of the service, a place where fans and artists meet in real time. From global premieres and intimate interviews, to in-depth specials and surprise performances, Apple Music Radio has distinguished itself through expertly curated, artist-led storytelling that makes listeners feel closer to the music they love. Apple Music Radio streams 24/7 and is available for free around the world.

“When we first launched Beats 1 it was a leap of faith, the first live global radio station for a digital world,” said Zane Lowe. “We knew we wanted to build something special where artists could come and tell their stories and fans could feel connected. Ten years on, Apple Music Radio is everything we hoped it would be. It’s a place where we can eventize music, a place where music comes first, always. I’m just as excited for what’s to come as I was on day one.”

To celebrate the 10-year milestone, Apple Music Radio will feature a week of specials and live programming, kicking off with “Don’t Be Boring: The Birth of Apple Music Radio with Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden” on June 30, from 6 to 8 a.m. PST. From the early days of launching radio on streaming, to the epic artist-led shows that defined a new era, Zane, Ebro, and special guests will reminisce about the last 10 years of Apple Music Radio. Then, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST, listeners can tune in to the “10 Years of Apple Music” special. This eight-hour broadcast event on Apple Music 1 will tell the stories of the greatest artist moments, exclusive releases, live events, and cultural milestones that only Apple could deliver. The day will culminate with “Live: 10 Years Of Apple Music” from 4 to 7 p.m. PST.

Additionally, Apple Music Radio will unveil the service’s top 500 most-streamed songs from the last 10 years in a special countdown beginning on Tuesday, July 1.

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Godiva Festival announces extra stage for local talent thanks to Arts Council funding

Source: City of Coventry

A third stage has been announced for next week’s Godiva Festival that will see young local musicians given the chance to perform in their home city.

The Cov ConneX Kingston Stage – first introduced at last year’s festival – will return, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, with a grant worth almost £30,000.

It will shine a light on musical inspiration while celebrating Coventry’s twin city of Kingston in Jamaica, with around 40 city-based artists taking to the stage over the Saturday and Sunday in styles ranging from rap, grime, afrobeat and reggae to DJs and MCs.

It will join the Main Stage and The Cov Stage in hosting a massive array of musical talent and giving festivalgoers a packed weekend of entertainment.

The Festival runs from 4-6 July at the city’s War Memorial Park, and tickets are still available at great prices.

Cllr Abdul Salam Khan, Deputy Leader of Coventry City Council and Cabinet Member for Events, said: “Godiva was already going to be an amazing festival, but the announcement of a third stage dedicated to young local musicians has added something extra special and I know it will be a big attraction for all music lovers.

“Thank you to Arts Council England for helping us to give artists from Coventry the incredible chance of performing on stage at a top festival in their home city – and to celebrate the incredible musical culture of our twin city of Kingston.

“With prices frozen from last year, the Godiva Festival is a great value-for-money event for everyone in Coventry, and I can’t wait to enjoy the atmosphere when it all starts in just over a week’s time.”

Cllr Naeem Akhtar, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities added: “Coventry is a great musical city that has produced some famous names, and what better place than Godiva to give our stars of the future a helping hand as they start their careers in the creative sector.

“We are delighted to welcome back the Cov Connex Kingston Stage and to be working with city organisations such as Fyah Camp, ODE and Positive Youth Foundation to give performance opportunities to some of our talented young people.

“Godiva is loved by so many, and with the music stages supported by a host of other attractions for families and visitors of all ages, it’s going to be another memorable weekend for the city.”

This year’s line-up will see Marc Almond, best known as the vocalist for Soft Cell, headlining the Main Stage on Friday. He will be joined by synth-pop band, Heaven 17, plus soul singer and lead vocalist of the band M People, Heather Small.

Multi award winning band, Clean Bandit, will be headlining the Main Stage on Saturday, supported by acts including DJ, Nathan Dawe, hip hop duo, Young T & Bugsey, and the Panjabi Hit Squad who will be bringing hip hop, Bollywood and bhangra anthems.

Coventry musical legend and one of the founders of The Specials, Neville Staple, will also be taking to the Main Stage on Saturday 5 July.

Completing the headline acts is Ocean Colour Scene who will bring the festival to a close on Sunday (6 July) evening, along with Rick Parfitt Jr & The RPJ Band and YolanDa Brown: Bob Marley Songbook, and dance group Diversity.

The Cov Stage will serve as the secondary stage in the music field at this year’s event, hosting local talent and other acts, and the Family Field will be filled with live entertainment and interactive activities designed to offer a memorable experience for families.

Standard day tickets are available from just £15 and standard weekend tickets from £49.50. Get yours now! To buy tickets or find out more, head to the Godiva Festival website.

Godiva Festival is proudly delivered by Coventry City Council. BBC CWR is the official media partner. Music Smart sponsors the Godiva Calling competition, and Coventry College sponsors the Family Field. The Cov ConneX Kingston Stage is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

MIL-OSI USA: U.S. refining capacity largely unchanged as of January 2025

Source: US Energy Information Administration

In-brief analysis

June 30, 2025

Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Refinery Capacity Report
Note: Data reflect refinery capacity as of January 1 of the indicated year.

According to our latest annual Refinery Capacity Report, U.S. operable atmospheric distillation capacity, the primary measure of refinery capacity, totaled 18.4 million barrels per calendar day (b/cd) on January 1, 2025—essentially flat compared with last year.

We publish two measures of refinery capacity in the report: barrels per calendar day and barrels per stream day. Calendar day capacity represents the operator’s estimate of the input volume that a distillation unit can process in a 24-hour period under usual operating conditions, factoring in both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. The calendar day capacity reported by companies may differ slightly from other published figures because of differences in estimation methods.

Stream day capacity reflects the maximum input that a distillation facility can process within a 24-hour period when running at full capacity with an optimal crude oil and product slate and with no allowance for downtime. Stream day capacity is typically about 6% higher than calendar day capacity.

In 2025, the three largest refiners in the United States—Marathon, Valero, and ExxonMobil—all reported calendar day capacity increases of less than 1% compared with 2024. These changes likely stem from small-scale process improvements, rather than major capacity expansions, unlike previous years. No major refinery expansions or transactions occurred from January 2024 through January 2025, unlike in 2023 when a handful of major projects were completed, including a significant expansion at ExxonMobil’s Beaumont, Texas, facility.

Motiva’s Port Arthur refinery reported increased calendar day throughput, regaining its position as the largest single U.S. refinery on a barrels-per-calendar-day basis. However, the facility’s stream day capacity remained unchanged compared with 2024. On a barrels-per-stream-day basis, Marathon’s Galveston Bay refinery remains the largest in the United States, at 665,000 barrels per stream day.

LyondellBasell ended refining operations at its 263,776-b/cd refinery in Houston in March 2025, but the report does not reflect this change because the facility was still operational on January 1.

This year’s Refinery Capacity Report includes 132 operable refineries, the same as in 2024. The count does not include the Philipps 66 Rodeo refinery, which converted to renewable diesel production last year and has potential to produce sustainable aviation fuel as well.

Our report also added Pasadena Performance Products, a new facility near Houston, Texas. Owned by Next Wave Energy Partners, the facility exclusively produces alkylate, a valuable blending component for motor gasoline. The facility uses natural gas liquids to produce alkylate instead of refining crude oil and hasn’t reported traditional refinery units such as a crude oil distillation column.

The 2025 Refinery Capacity Report captures U.S. refining capacity changes in effect as of January 1, 2025.
