Australian counter-drone maker rises as UAV warfare rapidly evolves

SYDNEY -- Two years ago, Australia's DroneShield, which builds equipment to detect and disable drones, had about 90 employees. Today, that number has jumped to 275.
Its growth from a start-up founded in 2014 to an ASX-listed company with a market cap of 1.3 billion Australian dollars ($848 million) reflects how drones have reshaped modern conflict and propelled increasing demand for counter measures.

U.S. Demands Japan Raise Defense Spending to 3.5 Pct of GDP: FT

Washington, June 20 (Jiji Press)--The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Japan to increase its defense spending to 3.5 pct of its gross domestic product, higher than the U.S. side's earlier demand for 3 pct, the Financial Times reported Friday. The latest request has caused a backlash from the Japanese side, resulting in the postponement of a so-called two-plus-two security meeting between the two nations' foreign and defense ministers, which had been arranged for July 1, according to the report. Elbridge Colby, U.S. undersecretary of defense for policy, pushed for the higher spending hike, "sparking anger in Washington's closest Asian ally," the British newspaper said. The upcoming election for Japan's House of Councillors, expected to be held on July 20, also influenced the decision to push back the two-plus-two meeting, as the Japanese side showed concern about the possible impact of the meeting on the election's outcome, the report said. In a similar move, the U.S. government asked Australia to increase its defense spending to 3.5 pct of GDP, provoking a backlash from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Lawson is considering using foreign rice in bento lunches

Sadanobu Takemasu, president of Lawson Inc., during an interview with The Asahi Shimbun in Tokyo on June 17 (Sho Ito) In response to rising rice prices, Lawson Inc. is considering using rice grown overseas in its bento box lunches, the company president said in an interview with The Asahi Shimbun on June 17. Sadanobu Takemasu explained that Lawson is currently working on developing product prototypes using rice from the United States and Southeast Asia. 'I hope we develop products that customers will be able to appreciate by using cooking methods suited to the rice,' such as using Thai rice in green curry, Takemasu said. The company will decide whether to procure foreign rice in earnest in the future by looking at overall rice price trends. The average price of 5 kilograms of rice sold at approximately 1,000 supermarkets nationwide has fallen for three consecutive weeks, but is still nearly double that of the previous year. 'Fundamentally, it is important that supply and demand stabilize. Until we see that, we need to study various options,' Takemasu said. With the rising cost of rice, restaurant chains and supermarkets have already begun to use and sell foreign rice products. However, major convenience store chains are notably cautious. Seven-Eleven Japan Co. has been using Australian rice in its fried rice onigiri and its chilled fried rice bento since February. However, a spokesperson said it is based on the characteristics of the products and is not a response to the rising rice prices. FamilyMart Co. also said that it is not considering using foreign rice.
