The Taipan Strike 26 demonstration leveraged the Aegis baseline developed for the Hunter Class Frigate and the Hobart Class Destroyer modernisation programs, unlocking cross service integration and interoperability, delivering greater capability and value while leveraging existing ADF investments.
Strategic Perspectives:
"This demonstration showcased how existing systems can be integrated across domains and orchestrated across coalition partners to achieve mission success," said Joe DePietro, Mission Integration Command and Control Vice President and General Manager at Lockheed Martin. "This prototype demonstration lays the groundwork for air defence modernisation, providing decision-makers with more time to respond and increasing the effectiveness of coordinated air and missile defence systems."
"This live fire demonstration provides accelerated capability options to deliver a medium-range, ground-based air defence capability for the Australian Defence Force," said Jeremy King, Chief Executive, Lockheed Martin Australia and New Zealand.
"This prototype system leverages existing weapons, launchers and command and control. It can fire any of the weapons currently fielded on the Hobart Class Destroyers or future Hunter Class Frigates."
King added, "A medium range ground-based air defence platform will propel the ADF from point defence to a network integrated, medium range deterrent that will fundamentally enhance our operational flexibility, deterrence posture and coalition interoperability."
This successful demonstration of the developmental MRGBAD capability not only showcases Lockheed Martin's system integration expertise but also provides a promising outlook for future air defence projects. It demonstrates the potential for enhanced air defence capabilities that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of countries and regions.
As the strategic partner for Defence's AIR6500 Joint Air Battle Management System, Lockheed Martin Australia stands ready to integrate future MRGBAD capabilities into the ADF's integrated air and missile defence architecture.

Littler Issues Commentary: State and Local Governments Battle Over Who's the Boss of Legislating the Workplace

Show Full Article SAN FRANCISCO, California, July 30 -- Littler, a law firm, issued the following commentary on July 28, 2026, by Knowledge Management counsel Sebastian Chilco and Maureen H. Lavery, director of Knowledge Management legislative and regulatory services: * * * State and Local Governments Battle Over Who's the Boss of Legislating the Workplace Local governments often lead on workplace issues like paid sick leave, discrimination, and pay equity. But, how and whether cities and counties can - or even should - legislate the workplace varies across the country, with recent developments highlighting thestruggle for supremacy between state and local officials.
In Nebraska, after the state revised minimum wage standards established by voters, in May 2026 the city of Lincoln enacted a minimum wage ordinance that uses the standard voters had approved - annual adjustments based on inflation, rounded up to the nearest nickel - rather than the state's preferred preset 1.75% annual increases. Lincoln's ordinance was enacted notwithstanding a state attorney general (AG) opinion letter that concluded the state minimum wage law would preempt any local minimum wage ordinance. In response to Lincoln's actions, the AG sued and recently a state trial court judge enjoined the city from enforcing its ordinance. Not deterred by the state's lawsuit, in July a different city - Omaha - enacted its own minimum wage ordinance that also calls for annual adjustments based on inflation.
Similar potential conflicts are brewing in New York. Tompkins County is studying whether to enact a local minimum wage ordinance, whereas New York City has introduced a bill to create such a law. These efforts are occurring with local legislators' knowledge of a state appellate court ruling from the 1960s that held the state "occup[ies] the entire field" when it comes to establishing the minimum wage in the Empire State.
Some local governments are willing to step aside once the state has caught up on an issue. For example, in Minnesota, Bloomington - like Duluth before it - decided to repeal its paid sick and safe time ordinance in April 2026 due to a later-enacted state law.
Sometimes a state might allow pre-existing local ordinances to remain in place, like Maryland did with its paid sick and safe time law. Other times, however, localities are completely removed from the playing field, which is what New Jersey did when it enacted a statewide paid sick and safe time law that preempted the then-in-existence 13 local ordinances.
There are other instances of a state not wanting to debate their junior partners about workplace standards. For example, in Texas, the state's "Death Star" law preempted local governments from enacting workplace legislation that conflicted with state law. Although the local rebellion initially succeeded in challenging the law, the state empire struck back, and a state appellate court reversed the trial court decision. Most recently, in June 2026, the local governments asked the state supreme court to resolve the dispute.
Ohio and Pennsylvania are examples of what may happen when a state does not have a comprehensive preemption law like the one in place in Texas. While both Ohio and Pennsylvania do have preemption laws that prohibit local regulation of some categories of employment laws, such as laws regulating employee wages and benefits, neither state's preemption statute covers antidiscrimination and fair employment practices. Beginning in 2017, localities in both states began to enact ordinances related to pay equity, specifically, ordinances that (1) prohibit an employer from inquiring into a job applicant's wage or salary history and/or (2) require an employer to disclose the wage or wage range for a job position in each job advertisement. At present, the four largest cities in Ohio have pay equity ordinances, and in Pennsylvania, the city of Philadelphia and five counties have such laws on the books. The Ohio and Pennsylvania state legislatures have considered pay transparency and salary history bills in almost every legislative session for the past decade, but it remains unlikely that such laws will pass at the state level in either state in the near future. Thus, because these states neither have specific preemption laws nor their own pay equity laws that they could arguably occupy the field, as in Nebraska, there is little room to challenge local regulation in this area.
Compliance challenges can arise with any law. When multiple levels of government establish standards connected to a particular subject, developing compliant practices can be a tougher needle for employers to thread. Although the federal government might be seen as playing a less active - or more selective - role in governing the workplace, depending on the state - or states - where an employer operates, keeping abreast of, and navigating, a patchwork of laws has become a cost of doing business.

Show Full Article SANTA CLARA, California, July 30 -- GlobalFoundries, a manufacturer of semiconductors, issued the following news release on July 29, 2026: * * * GlobalFoundries signs letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for a $300 million award to accelerate U.S. silicon photonics leadership LOI for CHIPS R&D award advances the optical technologies powering AI and high-performance computing - MALTA, N.Y. -- GlobalFoundries (Nasdaq: GFS) today announced it has entered into a letter of intent (LOI) with the U.S. Department of Commerce to accelerate research and development of next-generationsilicon photonics -- the optical technology that moves data at the speed of light and underpins the AI and high-performance computing data centers driving the global economy. Under the LOI, the Department's CHIPS Research and Development Office is expected to award GF $300 million to advance next-generation optical materials, wafer technologies and advanced packaging, reinforcing U.S. leadership in a technology essential to AI infrastructure.
The award will accelerate GF's development of next-generation silicon photonics wafer technologies, novel optical materials and advanced packaging, including proven 3D hybrid bonding, that enable the roll-out of near-packaged optics (NPO) and co-packaged optics (CPO). This work builds directly on GF's recently introduced SCALE(TM) (Silicon Photonics Co-Packaged Advanced Light Engine) platform, targeting industry-leading modularity, 400Gb/s performance and a 5x increase in energy efficiency over current-generation implementations.
In a separate agreement, the U.S. Department of Commerce will receive equity from GF, representing approximately 1 percent ownership as of today's date, enabling the American public to share in GF's growth.
"With today's compute supply chain investments, the Trump Administration is accelerating America's innovation engine," said Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. "These strategic investments will enhance our country's domestic capabilities, create high-paying jobs and keep America at the forefront of the semiconductor industry."
"The CHIPS R&D incentives will support a breakthrough in compute and communication networks moving past traditional copper bottlenecking to power next-generation AI," said Bill Frauenhofer, the Executive Director for Semiconductor Innovation and Investment at the Department of Commerce. "Accelerating R&D for domestic photonics capabilities and advanced packaging provides American industry the extreme bandwidth and energy efficiency to scale complex AI workloads securely and rapidly."
Silicon photonics enables ultra-high bandwidth, energy-efficient data movement by transmitting information with light rather than electrical signals -- delivering greater performance, higher interconnect density and lower power consumption as AI and data center workloads scale. GF's silicon photonics platform is enabling today's pluggable optical interconnects and is uniquely positioned to enable the industry's transition to near-packaged optics (NPO) and co-packaged optics (CPO). Together with GF's recently introduced SCALE(TM), customers gain a clear, scalable, U.S.-based path to meeting the demands of next-generation architectures. The work will leverage GF's existing capabilities in Malta, N.Y., and Burlington, Vt., to help accelerate a U.S.-based path to high-volume silicon photonics manufacturing.
"Silicon photonics is essential to AI infrastructure. For a decade, the industry talked about the shift from copper to optical as something that was coming -- today it is here, moving data at higher bandwidth and improved power efficiency as workloads grow more complex," said Tim Breen, CEO of GlobalFoundries. "GlobalFoundries has spent more than a decade building the technology, footprint and ecosystem to lead this transition, and we have the proven manufacturing foundation to scale it -- in the United States -- accelerating technology leadership for generations to come. We are proud to deepen our partnership with the U.S. Government, and the CHIPS R&D Office in particular, to accelerate our programs."
"As we accelerate development of next-generation optical materials and co-packaged optics, GF is building on our already qualified portfolio of photonic devices, proven 3D hybrid bonding and advanced packaging expertise, combined with our manufacturing scale to bring near-packaged and co-packaged optics to high volume -- putting our customers on a direct, U.S.-based path to scaling optical connectivity for tomorrow's AI systems," said Gregg Bartlett, chief technology officer of GlobalFoundries.
GF is working with leading customers to ensure emerging NPO and CPO architectures and next-generation optical engines are supported by U.S.-based silicon photonics R&D. These efforts reflect a shared focus on scaling the technologies that will drive the next wave of AI and data center performance.
AMD
"As AI systems scale, moving data efficiently is as critical as increasing compute performance. Silicon photonics and advanced packaging will be key to delivering the bandwidth, energy efficiency, and system-level connectivity required for the next generation of AI cluster infrastructure. We welcome GlobalFoundries' continued investment in U.S.-based innovation and manufacturing, and the broader public-private collaboration needed to advance these foundational technologies," said AMD CTO and EVP Mark Papermaster.
Broadcom
"As AI workloads continue to grow in size and complexity, scaling the infrastructure that connects increasingly powerful compute clusters is becoming one of the industry's defining challenges. Advances in optical interconnects, silicon photonics and advanced packaging will be critical to enabling the next generation of AI architectures. GlobalFoundries' announcement today helps strengthen the innovation ecosystem needed to accelerate development of these foundational technologies," said Near Margalit, VP and GM of Optical Systems Division, Broadcom.
Cisco
"As AI infrastructure scales, moving data efficiently is becoming as important as compute itself. Advances in silicon photonics and optical interconnects will be critical to enabling the bandwidth, performance and energy efficiency future AI systems require. GlobalFoundries' investment in next-generation silicon photonics technologies helps strengthen the foundation for future AI networking and optical infrastructure," said Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer of Cisco.
Corning
"The rapid growth of AI is driving unprecedented bandwidth demands, making optical connectivity essential to next-generation data centers. Meeting these demands will require innovation across the ecosystem from advanced materials and optical components to silicon photonics and packaging. Investments such as GlobalFoundries' announcement today help strengthen the U.S. innovation and manufacturing base needed to scale future AI infrastructure," said Wendell P. Weeks, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Corning Incorporated.

Show Full Article SANTA CLARA, California, July 30 -- GlobalFoundries, a manufacturer of semiconductors, issued the following news release on July 29, 2026: * * * GlobalFoundries signs letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for a $300 million award to accelerate U.S. silicon photonics leadership LOI for CHIPS R&D award advances the optical technologies powering AI and high-performance computing - MALTA, N.Y. -- GlobalFoundries (Nasdaq: GFS) today announced it has entered into a letter of intent (LOI) with the U.S. Department of Commerce to accelerate research and development of next-generationsilicon photonics -- the optical technology that moves data at the speed of light and underpins the AI and high-performance computing data centers driving the global economy. Under the LOI, the Department's CHIPS Research and Development Office is expected to award GF $300 million to advance next-generation optical materials, wafer technologies and advanced packaging, reinforcing U.S. leadership in a technology essential to AI infrastructure.
The award will accelerate GF's development of next-generation silicon photonics wafer technologies, novel optical materials and advanced packaging, including proven 3D hybrid bonding, that enable the roll-out of near-packaged optics (NPO) and co-packaged optics (CPO). This work builds directly on GF's recently introduced SCALE(TM) (Silicon Photonics Co-Packaged Advanced Light Engine) platform, targeting industry-leading modularity, 400Gb/s performance and a 5x increase in energy efficiency over current-generation implementations.
In a separate agreement, the U.S. Department of Commerce will receive equity from GF, representing approximately 1 percent ownership as of today's date, enabling the American public to share in GF's growth.
"With today's compute supply chain investments, the Trump Administration is accelerating America's innovation engine," said Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. "These strategic investments will enhance our country's domestic capabilities, create high-paying jobs and keep America at the forefront of the semiconductor industry."

"Accelerating R&D for domestic photonics capabilities and advanced packaging provides American industry the extreme bandwidth and energy efficiency to scale complex AI workloads securely and rapidly."
Silicon photonics enables ultra-high bandwidth, energy-efficient data movement by transmitting information with light rather than electrical signals -- delivering greater performance, higher interconnect density and lower power consumption as AI and data center workloads scale. GF's silicon photonics platform is enabling today's pluggable optical interconnects and is uniquely positioned to enable the industry's transition to near-packaged optics (NPO) and co-packaged optics (CPO). Together with GF's recently introduced SCALE(TM), customers gain a clear, scalable, U.S.-based path to meeting the demands of next-generation architectures. The work will leverage GF's existing capabilities in Malta, N.Y., and Burlington, Vt., to help accelerate a U.S.-based path to high-volume silicon photonics manufacturing.
"Silicon photonics is essential to AI infrastructure. For a decade, the industry talked about the shift from copper to optical as something that was coming -- today it is here, moving data at higher bandwidth and improved power efficiency as workloads grow more complex," said Tim Breen, CEO of GlobalFoundries. "GlobalFoundries has spent more than a decade building the technology, footprint and ecosystem to lead this transition, and we have the proven manufacturing foundation to scale it -- in the United States -- accelerating technology leadership for generations to come. We are proud to deepen our partnership with the U.S. Government, and the CHIPS R&D Office in particular, to accelerate our programs."
"As we accelerate development of next-generation optical materials and co-packaged optics, GF is building on our already qualified portfolio of photonic devices, proven 3D hybrid bonding and advanced packaging expertise, combined with our manufacturing scale to bring near-packaged and co-packaged optics to high volume -- putting our customers on a direct, U.S.-based path to scaling optical connectivity for tomorrow's AI systems," said Gregg Bartlett, chief technology officer of GlobalFoundries.

The facility includes 48 exam rooms and two procedure rooms and is designed to support a wide range of same-day care needs. It is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Walk-in appointments are welcome, and patients may also reserve a spot in line through Corewell Health's On My Way online check-in feature.
In addition to urgent care, the Royalton campus includes primary care, occupational medicine, a high-risk breast cancer clinic, ear nose and throat (ENT) services and foot and ankle specialty care. Additional specialty services, including weight loss and bariatric care, are planned for the future.
"When people need care, they want it to be nearby and available when they need it," Baggio said. "This new urgent care provides another option for patients and families while helping them connect to the right care, at the right time and in the right setting."
The opening is one of several recent investments Corewell Health has announced across Southwest Michigan, each designed to address local needs and improve access to care.
While each investment looks different, they share a common goal: helping people get the care and services they need closer to home.
