In 2023, the Air Force Research Laboratory unveiled the Missile Utility Transformation via Articulated Nose Technology (MUTANT) program. This new technology involves an air-to-air missile with a unique nose that can orient itself toward a target, mostly independently of the direction in which the air-to-air missile is traveling. The warhead then detonates in the direction of the target, sending shrapnel into the projectile or aircraft to destroy it. This allows the MUTANT to target agile threats more accurately, such as aircraft, either manned or unmanned, or with exceptional degrees of maneuverability, or hypersonic missiles, known for their high speeds and ability to rapidly change direction. In a world of quickly accelerating aerial technology, the ability for America to deny its enemies the capability of operating in the air may be decisive in order for America to maintain air superiority over its near-peers in theaters like the Indo-Pacific.

AMOS 2023 — The Defense Department plans to start transferring its extremely precise data about the whereabouts of satellites and dangerous space debris to the Department of Commerce (DoC) next year to help underpin the latter's effort to establish a space traffic advisory service, according to a senior Space Force official.
