GAO: Weapons vulnerable to software infiltration

Article Abstract:

The General Accounting Office (GAO) stated that the Pentagon is not doing enough to prevent malicious code from getting into new weapons systems, whose software creates an Achilles' Heel in the U.S. military's increasingly computer-driven armor. The Pentagon has also realized the potential danger posed by foreign-developed computer code, however recent department initiatives fall short of ordering program managers to focus on software security.

Incident mars successful Osprey testing

Article Abstract:

An emergency landing due to an equipment malfunction aboard a V-22 Osprey tilt rotor aircraft tarnished, which has otherwise always been a successful flight-testing phase. However, the main cause was because of a component called a nacelle blower that broke in Osprey No.22's right engine while it was hovering in front of Osprey No.10, which was sitting on the deck of the IwoJima (LHD-7) off the mid-Atlantic coast.
