QinetiQ, in partnership with the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group, has unveiled a high-power laser prototype aimed at enhancing Australia’s defense capabilities. The project, backed by a $12.9 million contract, focuses on developing directed energy systems to counter threats like drones, with a full-scale prototype expected by 2025. While the exact date within this period hasn't been specified, the completion is anticipated by June 30, 2025.

..well, maybe?

I'll take my chances:

You appear fairly new on here SNS, and, there's been lots of decent posts here amongst the w/t garbage. I make no apology for highlighting that his attempts to communicate with myself has been filtered. He annoys almost everyone. Unfortunately, I can't always keep up with the multitude of garbage he pushes out. Nevertheless, occasionally indicating that he's been disposed with won't stop.

Re: This is Money article.

IMO, It's worth noting that these talks are still in the early stages, and there's no guarantee they will lead to a finalised agreement. Based on my experience, the reliability of the Daily Mail's business news is questionable, much like its sensationalist headlines. However, other more credible sources have reported similar developments, so it's reasonable to believe that something is in the works.

Good luck to all genuine investors.

Oldbutnowisa,

I was lucky enough to get in much lower - however I agree this has a lot of potential upside and I will be adding when I can.

IMO, thanks to that traitorous idiot across the pond we are all in greater danger.

This writeup put's things in perspective. It claims Investors can expect a 2025 with growth across all three key revenue sources for ITV, which I fully agree with:

Fides et virtus nos ducent, ad prosperitatem perveniemus.

The latest lower-than-expected inflation data in the U.S. does provide some relief, but it doesn't fully quell concerns about a potential recession. I suspect the uncertainty, fuelled by tariffs, will continue to make markets volatile.

GSK's U.S. manufacturing facilities provide some degree of insulation from U.S. tariffs, particularly on products sold in the U.S. However, the broader trade war, including retaliatory tariffs from the EU, Canada, and China, could still negatively impact GSK’s global operations. In this volatile global trade environment, GSK's diversified manufacturing footprint (including U.S. operations) offers a buffer, but it is not immune from the wider effects of tariff wars and their economic consequences.

I still maintain that Trump is incompetent. Recently, he's been whining about 'whoever allowed Canada to supply energy to the U.S.?

Well, what an idiot - it was him!

Under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), signed by President Trump, Canada’s ability to supply energy to the U.S. was maintained and strengthened. The agreement ensures continued trade in oil, natural gas, and electricity between the two nations, reinforcing their longstanding energy partnership and removing trade barriers for energy products across North America.

AllAtSea,

Apologies for taking us off-topic, this is meant to be a GSK discussion after all, but I just couldn't help it in light of world events.

One last word on it though, there is a 'way back to safety' if people want it:

FIREHOSE OF FALSEHOOD

Donald Trump has a documented history of making false or misleading statements. During his presidency, The Washington Post's Fact Checker database recorded 30,573 such claims, averaging about 21 per day. If he has any mandatory claim then it's arguably a false one. While he's keen to call others 'dictators' phycology experts have concluded his behaviour to be exactly one of.

I do agree that Labour are not exactly getting to grips with things either. As the Trump trade war intensifies the EU, Canada and China hit back vowing strong response to tariffs. Meanwhile, Starmer can't decide, he's still of the notion that pandering to an egotistical bully will get a result. IMO, there's no middle ground bridge. Unfortunately, despite his shortcomings, there's no one at present, other than Starmer, who could do any better, I'm afraid!

Apparently, Trump's latest Tariff threat is not going to happen!! He was joking again, so every thing is alright. When will 'the boy who calls wolf ' be ignored and kicked out?

Can anyone serious believe this clown is President of the United States?

I’m curious how long it will take, if ever, for Trump to realise that not only does he have no understanding of economic control measures, but neither do the people advising him or telling him what to say. How much longer before he realises that his constant flip-flopping is making him appear like a complete fool on the global stage?

I'm not sure if this is a safe haven or not - maybe we'll find out tomorrow?

What I do know is when Tяump opens his mouth it's the kiss of death to the world economy.

Tяump is incompetent and built his reputation as the greatest dealmaker of modern times, but his track record shows he has no real negotiating abilities. It's all lies - nothing but lies. His approach relies solely on brute force and a remarkable ability to deceive, convincing his followers to believe him. His claim that the economy will only experience short-term pain is absolute nonsense. Tariffs aren’t going anywhere - just like Brexit, they’re not a temporary issue. They’re a persistent burden on the economy, an act of self-sabotage, and a form of self-imposed economic sanctions, much like the misguided policies of Liz Truss.

Trump opens his mouth and everything takes a hit, again. Meanwhile previous post is filtered - oh bliss:

Hi Janus,

You might be right, the entire thing may need to be sold, or it could become quite complicated. The article does seem to suggest something is in the works, but we've heard similar stories numerous times before. I think if there's any truth to it, we'll find out fairly soon.
