ARLINGTON, Virginia, Dec. 11 -- BAE Systems issued the following news release:
* * *
BAE Systems awarded $1.7 billion U.S. Navy contract for continued production of APKWS(R) laser-guidance kits
Contract enables production of tens of thousands of guidance kits for effective, cost-efficient precision strikes
*
The U.S. Navy has awarded BAE Systems a new five-year, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract for APKWS(R) laser-guidance kits to equip U.S. armed forces with tens of thousands of additional low-cost precision munitions. The contract has a maximum value of $1.7 billion, withan initial $322 million order.
The new contract supports increased domestic and international demand, enabling the Navy to purchase APKWS guidance kits over a five-year period. The kits are available to all U.S. armed forces, as well as allies via foreign defense sales. The APKWS guidance kit completes the mission and controls the cost. APKWS kits are combat proven as an air-to-surface, surface-to-surface, surface-to-air, and air-to-air munition.
"This award reinforces the value of proven and cost-efficient precision munitions, which have consistently demonstrated their effectiveness and versatility across multiple platforms and missions," said Neeta Jayaraman, director of Precision Guidance and Sensing Solutions at BAE Systems. "The APKWS guidance kit provides advanced capabilities to our armed forces and foreign allies, and high-volume production ensures rapid and efficient delivery to the warfighter."
APKWS guidance kits transform unguided 2.75-inch rockets into laser-guided rockets for precision strikes. Operators can use the combat-proven kit to engage a range of soft and armored stationary and moving targets, minimizing collateral damage. APKWS guidance kits accurately strike air and ground targets, giving operators the ability to use them in a wide range of missions. The highly versatile kit can be fired by various platforms, including rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, static and mounted ground platforms, and maritime vessels.
The APKWS guidance kit is compatible with new and existing inventories of rocket motors, warheads, and fuzes. It requires minimal training to use in the field and has a simple, affordable maintenance concept, making it an efficient way to transform an unguided rocket into the precision munition of choice.
BAE Systems has been in full-rate production with its APKWS guidance kit for more than 12 years, allowing the U.S. armed forces and its allies to engage a variety of targets at a fraction of the cost of traditional munitions. BAE Systems leverages a robust supply chain and proven manufacturing capacity to deliver the guidance kit with speed and reliability.
APKWS laser-guidance kits are produced at BAE Systems' state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Hudson, New Hampshire and Austin, Texas. For more information about APKWS guidance kits, visit: www.baesystems.com/apkws.

Share live video with emergency services to get the help you need
Launching today, Android Emergency Live Video helps you share vital visual information with emergency services in a single tap.
By Alastair Breeze, Software Engineer, Android
In an emergency, every second counts. But it can be hard to describe exactly what's happening, especially when you're stressed or in danger. Whether it's a car accident, a medical crisis or a rapidly movingwildfire, giving emergency responders eyes on the situation can make all the difference.
Starting today, we're introducing Emergency Live Video on Android. During an emergency call or text, a dispatcher can send a request to your phone to share live video. With a single tap, you can start securely streaming from your camera, allowing responders to quickly assess the situation and get you the right help in the moment. This real-time view can also help them guide you through life-saving steps, like CPR, until help arrives.
How Emergency Live Video works
We designed the feature to be simple and secure, with no setup required. During an emergency call or text, if the responder determines that seeing the scene would be helpful and it's safe to do so, they can send a request to your device. You'll see a prompt on your screen, and you can choose to start securely sharing your camera's live video with one tap. The feature is encrypted by default, and you are always in control of whether your video is shared, and can stop sharing instantly at any time.
Android Emergency Live Video builds on our work to make it easier to get help and provide users peace of mind through features like Emergency Location Service, Car Crash and Fall Detection, and Satellite SOS. The feature is rolling out today across the U.S., as well as select regions of Germany and Mexico, and is supported on Android phones running Android 8+ with Google Play services. We are closely working with public safety organizations around the world to expand this capability to more regions.
Public safety organizations interested in partnering to bring Emergency Live Video to their region can find more information in our partner documentation.

Build the internet young people are asking for -- instead of simply banning them from it
Save the Children's senior advisor for Protecting Children from Digital Harm reviews The Future Report and analyzes the political debate over "bans."
By Dr. Jeffrey DeMarco, Senior Advisor, Save the Children
Current public policy debates on young people and the internet often feature loud voices focused on banning access. However, these loud voices seldombelong to teenagers themselves.
That is why a Google-commissioned study, delivered by youth specialists Livity, is useful. It places at its core the voices of over 7,000 teenagers from across Europe on what actually helps them learn, connect and stay well when navigating online spaces.
The fix is not blanket prohibition. It is clear, age-appropriate guardrails.
The topline is simple but equally challenging: adolescents see technology as a force for good when it is designed with people in mind. They want tools that are accessible, empowering and take a "human-first" approach, and not features that replace people or create harm.
Very importantly, they want a say in how those tools are built, and not to be cut off from online spaces. In the report's words, teens are "not just users... but its future architects." As a psychologist and online safety professional, that really resonates with me -- that safety is not just flipping a switch, but a design choice and a shared responsibility.
On the topic of AI, the report is clear. AI is already part of how young people learn, so guidance matters more than gatekeeping. Across the sample, the majority of teenagers who have used AI report using it at least weekly for schoolwork or creative tasks. They say AI makes learning more engaging (50%), explains difficult topics (47%) and provides instant feedback (47%). In other words, they are not asking adults about the basics of AI; they are asking us to help them use it well. Over a quarter (28%) believe their schools have not approved any AI tools, and another 13% are not sure what is allowed.
The fix is not blanket prohibition. It is clear, age-appropriate guardrails. That means spelling out what is OK, what is not, how to cite, how to verify. That is what the teens are implicitly asking for, and the report's recommendations explicitly call for through curriculum-level AI and media literacy, age-appropriate experiences and harmonised standards that preserve access to information while protecting younger users.
If you want to understand how teens learn and explore, videos seem to be key. Nearly 84% say they watch educational or how-to videos at least a couple times a week; over a third watch daily. Video helps them pick up new skills, understand news and current events and encounter perspectives beyond their own.
Many teens judge personalized recommendations, which are often criticized (and sometimes rightly), as useful for finding what is genuinely interesting. That's especially true when combined with active search and content shared by friends. The point is not that feeds are not without their pitfalls and challenges, but that for the majority of teens, feeds are where they learn; they are their classrooms, and they are asking for smarter, safer ones.
Young people are not naive about risk. They worry about misinformation and want help to judge AI-generated content. They find value in recommendations but do not want to be nudged into rabbit holes. Above all, they want clarity and fairness, which can be manifested as privacy settings that are not extremely difficult to use, policies that match their developmental stage, and tools that do not leave anyone behind.
From Save the Children's perspective, the report's recommendations align with a rights-based approach: protection and participation travel together. We should be sceptical of one-size-fits-all bans that sever access without addressing the design features that amplify harm.
The evidence here shows teens already use AI and video to learn and create; the real work is making those environments safer by default and raising the floor of digital literacy. There are three practical moves we can make this school year:
* Require clearer, default-on safety and privacy controls for teens across platforms, including straightforward reporting, nudges that interrupt when necessary, and labelling for AI-generated content.
* Bake AI/media literacy into timetables so that young people are learning how to prompt well, to cross-check the returns they get, and also to spot synthetic content.
* Back parents to be the first line of support. National programmes that demystify tools, scams, and reporting -- and normalise asking for help -- will meet teens where they already turn when things go wrong.
If we listen to young people, the goal is not less internet but a better one.
