In late September 2026, Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding division secured a US$5.10 billion contract to conduct the refueling and complex overhaul of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), while also advancing carrier programs and expanding unmanned production capacity across its U.S. facilities.
Together with the Navy order for 10 ROMULUS unmanned surface vessels and the Pocasset unmanned systems campus expansion, these developments highlight how HII is tying long-duration carrier work to growing autonomous maritime capabilities within its Mission Technologies division.
We'll now examine how the Truman overhaul award, alongside new ROMULUS unmanned vessel production, could influence Huntington Ingalls Industries' investment narrative.
Rare earth metals are an input to most high-tech devices, military and defence systems and electric vehicles. The global race is on to secure supply of these critical minerals. Beat the pack to uncover the 33 best rare earth metal stocks of the very few that mine this essential strategic resource.
To own Huntington Ingalls Industries, you need to believe that its multi decade carrier, submarine and unmanned systems backlog can be converted into steadier margins and free cash flow despite current back end loaded cash expectations. The Truman refueling and complex overhaul award reinforces that backlog, but does not remove the near term risk that 2026 free cash flow could miss if contract advances or tax benefits arrive later or smaller than management hopes.

Rob Lowe's son, actor John Owen Lowe, shared an emotional poem about hope on his Instagram page over the weekend, just days after his 13-year-old cousin Fiona died by suicide.
The poem he posted was Emily ******* inson's "Hope Is the Thing With Feathers," which reads, "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all. And sweetest in the gale is heard; and sore must be the storm that could abash the little bird that kept so many warm."
It concludes, "I've heard it in the chillest land, and on the strangest sea; yet, never, in extremity, it asked a crumb of me."
The post came after Rob and John Owen arrived at the Los Angeles home of Rob's younger brother, Chad Lowe, on Thursday (October 1), per The Daily Mail. Fiona was the second daughter of Chad and his wife, Kim Painter. The couple also have daughters Mabel (17) and Nixie (10).
Last week, a statement from the medical examiner confirmed that Fiona was ******* ounced dead at a local hospital at 1:14 am on September 29. The manner of death was ruled a suicide.

Costco is famously rooted in Washington state, with its headquarters in Kirkland (which is also the name of its signature brand) and its first official store operating out of Seattle's industrial SoDo neighborhood. But did you know that the wholesale club behemoth can trace its true origins much further south, and to a famous connection? As it turns out, a line can be drawn from Costco to Howard Hughes, the famous movie producer, aviator, and eccentric business tycoon.
Among his many properties, Hughes once owned a rather large warehouse in San Diego, California, that was eventually turned into an early wholesale store called Price Club. It went on to merge with Costco in the 1990s, forever cementing the Costco-Hughes connection. Sure, it may not be the strongest celebrity-Costco connection ever, and Hughes himself never set foot inside one of the chain's stores, but it's one that Costco can be proud to have as part of its storied history nonetheless.

While it's unclear exactly how long Howard Hughes' San Diego building served as a hangar, or if any remodeling was done prior to its wholesale club days, what is known is that it reopened as Price Club in the summer of 1976 after being purchased by local businessman Sol Price and his son, Robert. It looks pretty similar today compared to old photos of the building in its Price Club days and as an aviation hangar, with its vaulted ceilings and massive walls. The coolest part though? If you're a history buff in San Diego, you can actually go shop at the Costco that once housed Hughes' airplanes (assuming you're also a Costco member, of course). The store sits on Morena Boulevard, at the exact same address as its preceding incarnations.

Black Americans have heard it all before. We've been called "lazy," "not as qualified," "uneducated," "uncultured," and all manner of other reasons the world can come up with for why our disenfranchisement is somehow of our own design and perpetuation. But there's a long history behind why.
During an appearance on Cam Newton's "Funky Friday" podcast, actor Da'Vinchi certainly kept it funky when he revealed why, from his experience, non-American actors are offered American parts and kicked off a diaspora war in the process.
Roughly 11 minutes into the conversation, Newton star asks the 30-year-old "All-American" star what he thinks about non-American actors getting American parts in television and film. The actor says there is a perception that Americans are lazy, later lumping Black Americans into the conversation when discussing why non-American Black actors may be cast in Black American roles.
"What I had to learn early is that this is the entertainment business, not the entertainment arts," the "Why Did I Get Married Again?" actor said. "When there's a business, there's certain things involved."

Veteran actor, singer, and stage star Illy Gorlizki, a defining figure in Israeli culture for more than seven decades, has died at 91.
Israeli actor, singer and theater figure Illy Gorlizki, one of the most recognizable figures in Israeli culture across generations, died at the age of 91, his partner and leading cultural institutions said on Monday.
Born in Tel Aviv in 1935, Gorlizki spent more than seven decades working in theater, film, television and Israeli music, taking part in some of the formative moments of Israeli popular culture.
Gorlizki began his theater career as a teenager. At 17, he was accepted to the drama school affiliated with the Ohel Theater and simultaneously began appearing in small roles. During his military service, he joined the Central Command entertainment troupe, where he sang and performed alongside several young talents who would later become pillars of Israeli entertainment.
He secured his place in Israel's cultural pantheon in 1964, when he starred as Shlomo in the celebrated musical King Solomon and Shalmai the Shoemaker alongside Yona Atari. The musical, based on a play by Sami Gronemann, translated and adapted by Nathan Alterman with music by Sasha Argov, became a huge success and was performed about 1,000 times.

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA − Dhar Mann doesn't consider other digital content creators his competition.
The filmmaker behind Dhar Mann Studios, whose inspirational videos reach hundreds of millions of viewers each week, has his sights set on something bigger: Hollywood.
"I actually see other major studios as the competition," Mann tells USA TODAY during a tour of his Burbank, California, studios. "I don't really see a difference between any of the big studios and what they've built and the trajectory that we're on."
It's an ambitious outlook for a company that started nearly eight years ago in Mann's downtown LA apartment, where he filmed videos on iPhones.
Today, Dhar Mann Studios has more than 170 million followers across social media and a team of about 250 people. The content, drawing nearly 300 million views a week, has expanded beyond social platforms through partnerships with Samsung, Fox and Disney, including a recently announced 20-episode order from Disney.

The Venice Film Festival may revolve around cinema, but fashion has become an essential part of its annual spectacle. The 2026 edition once again transformed the Lido into a showcase for couture, sharp tailoring and unexpected styling. Stars moved between timeless black gowns, shimmering embellishments, relaxed suits and bursts of bright color. Some relied on archival fashion, while others arrived in custom creations designed specifically for the occasion. Together, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Amal Clooney, Rooney and Kate Mara, Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse and Pamela Anderson demonstrated just how varied festival dressing can be.
Jury president Maggie Gyllenhaal established a sophisticated tone with several dramatic black looks. For the opening, she selected an all black Celine ensemble featuring an off the shoulder twisted bodice. Another memorable appearance came in archival Armani Privé from the Fall 2015 collection. Rich velvet, sharply sculpted shoulders and crystal detailing around the plunging neckline gave the older design a fresh presence on the carpet.
Amal Clooney also embraced black with a custom Tom Ford creation by Haider Ackermann. Her appearance demonstrated the continuing appeal of streamlined eveningwear, with careful construction and texture doing much of the visual work. Rather than competing with the surroundings through excessive decoration, the gown relied on an elegant silhouette and refined details.
Sisters Rooney and Kate Mara offered two very different interpretations of evening glamour while promoting Bucking Fastard. Rooney remained close to her famously minimalist aesthetic in a black satin Louis Vuitton dress. A sleek fitted upper section expanded dramatically near the hem through gathers and voluminous fabric. Kate moved in the opposite direction with Armani Privé, choosing a black and white gown featuring a sparkling skirt and pearl embellished bodice.
Menswear also provided a change of pace. Robert Pattinson appeared in a relaxed white pinstripe suit while promoting Primetime, pairing it with a crisp shirt and striped tie. The slightly oversized proportions gave traditional tailoring a lighter feeling suited to Venice. Suki Waterhouse accompanied him in a pale green Saint Laurent lace two piece, bringing a softer color and delicate texture to the event.

Kim Zolciak once appeared to have the kind of reality-TV life built for a fairy tale: a high-profile romance, a growing family, a lavish home and a hit Bravo spinoff.
More than a decade later, that image has been replaced by a bitter divorce, custody battles, financial problems and a legal case involving her teenage son.
Now, former publicist Jonathan Jaxson is reflecting on the dramatic shift, saying the lifestyle surrounding Zolciak eventually became something far darker.
Ralph Notaro / MEGA
Jaxson, who worked with Kim Zolciak from 2007 to 2009 and reconnected with her during her separation from Kroy Biermann, told the Daily Mail that the reality star's "very turbulent" lifestyle seemed to become "toxic."

Elizabeth Debicki has built a career around following unexpected possibilities. Born in Paris and raised in Australia, the actress grew up surrounded by performance but did not always imagine herself becoming a screen star. Archaeology, history and even law once competed for her attention before acting ultimately became her chosen path. That curiosity has remained visible in a career spanning stylish spy movies, ambitious science fiction and acclaimed television drama. Rather than following a predictable route, Debicki has repeatedly embraced roles that challenge what audiences expect from her.
Debicki was born to professional dancers, a Polish father and an Australian mother of Irish heritage. After the family moved to Melbourne when she was young, dance became an important part of her childhood. She trained in ballet before eventually deciding that acting offered the creative direction she wanted to pursue. Growing up as the eldest of three children also gave her a reputation within the family for being confident and ****** ertive, even though she has described her younger self as more awkward and bookish.
Before settling on drama, Debicki was fascinated by archaeology and the stories hidden within history. She also considered studying law and performed strongly academically. Acting ultimately won, and she studied drama at the Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne. Soon after graduating, she began attracting professional opportunities that quickly moved her career forward.
One of her important early breakthroughs came when Baz Luhrmann cast her as Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby. The 2013 film placed Debicki alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire, introducing her to a large international audience. She followed it with Guy Ritchie's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in 2015, playing the sophisticated villain Victoria Vinciguerra. The role pushed her into the stylish world of action cinema, despite Debicki not being a driver herself at the time.
Her versatility became increasingly apparent through projects including The Night Manager, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Widows. In 2020, she joined Christopher Nolan's Tenet as Kat, bringing emotional vulnerability to a complicated science fiction thriller filled with elaborate action sequences and unusual ideas about time.

As a long-time host of "The View," Joy Behar is known for her outspokenness, which sometimes causes scandals, such as dragging Melania Trump when insulting Donald Trump. Other than her political views and wild on-show feuds, Behar is recognized for her polished looks behind the desk. The TV personality has been vocal about her signature, face-framing blowout and the fact that she's not a natural redhead. While Behar isn't hesitant to discuss any cosmetic changes, she's also not afraid to wear a makeup look that's more minimal than her usual television glam.
Helltown Kitchen/Instagram
In August 2026, Behar went to ****** town Kitchen in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The TV host, wearing an all-black outfit, posed with ****** town Kitchen's owner Willy Garcia for the restaurant's Instagram post. Behar kept her makeup simple by wearing gray eyeshadow and a red lip. Overall, Behar's skin looks amazing in her 80s. Her forehead, chin, and cheeks seem smooth. Her cheeks also look plump for someone in their twilight years, which could be a result of having good skin and investing in nonsurgical skin treatments. She also wore her hair down without the volume that fans of "The View" are used to seeing on screen.

Celine Dion stunned fans during her Paris concert in a dazzling Tom Ford gown that brought serious drama to the stage. The singer's shimmering blue dress featured a dramatically high slit that revealed one leg while giving the glamorous look a daring edge. The floor-length gown sparkled under the stage lights, with tiny embellishments scattered across the rich blue fabric. Meanwhile, its long sleeves and structured shoulders added sophistication to the otherwise sultry silhouette.
The Celine Dion dress's high-slit detail became the focal point of the look. The dramatic opening climbed high along one side of the gown, creating plenty of movement as Dion performed.
She kept the rest of her styling sleek. Dion wore her blonde hair pulled back, allowing the statement gown to take center stage. Her polished makeup also complemented the glittering design without distracting from it.
According to the outfit details shared by "Check The Tag," Dion wore a Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann while performing at Paris La Défense Arena. Annie Horth and Patrick Vimbör styled the look.
The Tom Ford creation also joined an impressive lineup of designer looks from Dion's Paris residency. Fashion publications have highlighted her custom Dior, Schiaparelli, Alaïa, and Givenchy ensembles alongside the Tom Ford design.

Sean "Diddy" Combs may not be getting out of prison as soon as expected after a Dateline segment this week detailed the luxe lifestyle the rap mogul has allegedly built behind bars, complete with a team of fellow inmates treated like his personal staff.
Since arriving at Fort Dix in October 2025 after more than a year at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, Combs has seen his projected release date bounce around the front half of the 2028 calendar, shifting several times between January and June. It now stands at Jan. 21, 2028. In that time, he has entered a drug rehabilitation program at the New Jersey facility, has been involved in a fight with another inmate, and violated several prison rules while serving a 50-month sentence for Mann Act violations.

It now stands at Jan. 21, 2028. In that time, he has entered a drug rehabilitation program at the New Jersey facility, has been involved in a fight with another inmate, and violated several prison rules while serving a 50-month sentence for Mann Act violations.

Rob Lowe and his family are supporting younger brother Chad Lowe and Chad's wife, Kim Painter, following the death of their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona.
"Rob and Chad are very close," a family source told PEOPLE. The source said relatives and friends have gathered around Chad and Kim as they grieve.
Fiona died on Sept. 29. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later listed the manner of her death as suicide.
The loss comes less than two years after Chad, Kim and their daughters lost their Pacific Palisades home in the January 2025 wildfires, another period when Rob publicly stepped in to help his brother's family.
The family source said the priority now is making sure Chad and Kim have people around them who know and love them.

Los Angeles County judge granted a temporary restraining order against Olivier Martinez for abusing his ex-wife, Halle Berry, as per the allegations made by the French actor. According to him, Halle Berry choked their 12-year-old son, Maceo, during a fight between them at her house.
In court documents that were initially disclosed to TMZ, 60-year-old Olivier alleges that 60-year-old Berry physically attacked their son in a violent manner on September 26. Also, he is requesting custody rights over the minor. Berry's lawyer describes the court document as being baseless.
According to the filing, Berry entered Maceo's room while he was playing virtual reality games and became furious because he looked "stupid" for playing. Martinez said Berry's fiancé, musician Van Hunt, was at their place during the altercation.
It is alleged in the documents that the fight became violent as Berry hopped onto their son, grabbed him around the neck, and started strangling him. Meanwhile, she was saying, "Who is dominant now?" The filing alleges that Maceo later called his father to tell him what happened.
It is also alleged that the following day, Berry texted Olivier that she felt "terrible" about the entire episode.

Long Island mansion Oheka Castle will be sold to the highest bidder after its owner filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy
Taylor Swift filmed her "Blank ****** e" music video at the estate, riding horses through its formal gardens
Kevin Jonas, Joey Fatone, Curtis Martin and Megyn Kelly each celebrated weddings at the historic venue
America's second largest private residence, Oheka Castle, is heading to the auction block this October.
Completed in 1919, the Gilded Age residence was built by financier Otto Hermann Kahn to be used as a summer home. In the years since, the 109,000-square-foot, 127-room estate has become a wedding destination for celebrities. Kahn's own daughter, socialite Maud, became the castle's first bride when she walked down the aisle on June 15, 1920, according the castle's official website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee governor ordered an outside investigation and halted executions late Wednesday, hours after an inmate survived a lethal injection attempt.
Tennessee officials were unable to put Christa Gail Pike to death for a 1995 murder after administering two doses of a lethal drug. A death penalty expert said it was an unprecedented failure.
Gov. Bill Lee said in a statement that he has ordered "a comprehensive, third-party review to determine exactly what occurred" and that scheduled executions will not be carried out this year.
"Carrying out a lawfully imposed sentence is among the State's most serious responsibilities, and the people of Tennessee expect it to be done in a manner that is not only legal and constitutional, but is effective," he said.
Tennessee only has one other execution scheduled this year.

TJX Companies is confident in navigating weather-related events such as El Niño due to its warehouse distribution model, CEO Ernie Herrman said in a Q2 earnings call on Aug. 19.
Herrman said since the company keeps its liquidity and shipping out of its warehouses, it has better control than traditional retailers. Inventory doesn't need to go straight to the stores if the off-price retailer thinks there's going to be an unusual weather pattern in a certain region, he added.
"[T]his is a benefit of our model where we stage goods in our warehouses versus goods at most brick-and-mortar retailers come into the warehouse and have to go out," Herrman told **** ysts. He added that the company's "planning organization is really good at reacting to any wild swings in weather or natural disasters or any of those red flags."
Off-price retailers and classic retailers tend to have different supply chain models when it comes to how they manage their inventory, but it's not one-size fits all, Dheera Anand, a partner at Bain and Co., told Supply Chain Dive in an interview. The supply chain strategy Hermann described in TJX's earnings call is known as the hold and flow, or staged, model, Anand said.

AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV) reported on September 9, 2026, that revenue for fiscal Q1 2027, ended August 1, 2026, increased 6% to $480.5 million. Funded backlog reached approximately $1.5 billion at quarter-end, up from $1.2 billion at April 30, 2026. This represents remaining work under firm customer orders with funding already appropriated, providing a concrete base for future revenue.
Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings were $0.59 per share, excluding acquired-intangible amortization, purchase-accounting adjustments, acquisition expenses, and net gains and losses on equity-method and equity-security investments. Adjusted EPS retains net interest income. The GAAP result was a $5.1 million net loss, or $0.10 per diluted share. The question is whether the expanding order base can produce stronger operating earnings and cash generation.
Bookings reached $683 million, producing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.4, calculated as bookings divided by revenue. Bookings measure authorized contract awards and modifications and can include work whose funding has not yet been obligated. The ratio indicates that new business exceeded revenue recognized during the quarter.
AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV) is also translating demand into sales in Autonomous Systems, where revenue rose 21% to $346 million. That provides operating evidence behind the opportunity in unmanned aircraft and precision-strike systems.
Management maintained fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $2.125 billion to $2.225 billion, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $305 million to $325 million. Adjusted EBITDA excludes net interest income or expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization from net income and further adjusts for stock compensation, acquisition expenses, cloud-computing amortization, net gains and losses on equity-method and equity-security investments, and other specified items.

Investors continue to ask for more timely information, even as the volume available to them expands. A 2026 CFA Institute survey of 2,500 **** ysts and portfolio managers found that 62% opposed replacing quarterly reporting with semiannual reporting. Nearly 85% expressed concern about comparability if companies and investment managers could determine their own reporting frequency and format. Access remains important, while interpretation requires a separate discipline.
The demand also concerns the quality of disclosure. PwC's 2025 Global Investor Survey, covering 1,074 investment professionals across 26 countries and territories, found that only 37% believed companies disclosed enough about artificial intelligence strategies and policies. Respondents wanted greater transparency around innovation strategies, AI investment, and expected returns. These findings suggest that investors can face abundant commentary while still lacking the evidence needed to **** s a thesis.
Commercial incentives add another layer. A 2025 CFA Institute report examined continuation funds, in which a manager can oversee both the vehicle selling an **** et and the vehicle buying it. The report recognized the structure's liquidity role and identified conflicts requiring fair processes and governance. The example illustrates why informed **** ysis and aligned incentives are separate considerations.
That distinction applies beyond any single investment structure. Managers often possess valuable operational knowledge because they work directly with **** ets, tenants and financing markets. They may also be raising capital for the strategies they discuss. Their commercial interest becomes additional context for investors weighing forecasts, market narratives and recommendations alongside independently produced evidence. That context can help an investment committee separate a source's knowledge of the market from the confidence it should place in the source's preferred outcome during capital allocation.
Geoffrey Dohrmann, chairman, CEO and editor-in-chief of Institutional Real Estate, Inc., has watched those narratives develop across several market cycles. IREI is a media and market intelligence company covering institutional real estate and infrastructure through publications, research, data, events and consulting. Dohrmann explains its editorial role as independently recording where real-asset capital is moving and examining the explanations offered for those decisions.

Swarmer, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: SWMR) pending acquisition ofUkrainian unmanned-ground-vehicle maker Ratel Robotics could lead to $200 million in 2027 revenue and $20 million in adjusted EBITDA, according to a research note by Lucid Capital Markets.
Swarmer, which boasts Blackwater founder and industry veteran Erik Prince as its non-executive chairman, is in a definitive agreement to buy Ratel for up to $224 million and it has $86 million in secured contracts and about 37% share of Ukrainian government UGV procurement spending, the note said.
The deal comes as Ukraine's drone industry is beginning a consolidation phase, with more than 500 credible drone companies operating in the country while being home to some of the world's advanced battlefield drone technology, it said.
Swarmer could potentially consolidate Ukraine's fragmented drone industry into a full-stack drones, autonomy software and ground-vehicle platform, the note said.

Once upon a time, the 'space race' meant the grand strategic competition between the USA and the USSR to gain control of the heavens. The superpowers designed and built satellites, manned capsules, orbital **** ecraft and long-endurance **** e stations, and NASA even sent the Apollo landers to put men on the Moon.
Today, the **** e race is heating up again, but in a very different way. Yes, the governments are still involved – NASA's Artemis program is targeting the Moon, the Russians have a Soyuz escape ship docked at the International **** e Station, and other powers such as the EU, China, and India have large-scale **** e programs. But the real difference – and a lot of the innovation – is coming from commercial players working alongside government **** e agencies.
This past summer, Elon Musk's **** eX went public, in Wall Street's largest ever IPO. The company is pioneering reusable large rockets, and has already made history with privately launched and/or publicly funded missions of the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule.

Ocean Power Technologies Inc (NYSE-A:OPTT) reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $1.7 million, up 44% from a year earlier, as the company expanded its work with US defense and security customers and moved forward with a strategic review process.
Ocean Power Technologies ran three PowerBuoy systems off Southern California for a U.S. Department of Homeland Security maritime domain awareness program, integrated with Anduril's Lattice platform and including a deployment beyond 1,000 meters depth, calling it the company's largest deployment and recurring revenue contract to date.
Ocean Power Technologies also deployed a PowerBuoy system off New Jersey for Rutgers University and delivered a WAM-V unmanned surface vehicle to Stevens Institute of Technology within five weeks of receiving the order.
The company demonstrated autonomous docking, charging and redeployment of a WAM-V, a capability it is working to integrate with the PowerBuoy platform to support longer autonomous missions. It also acquired subsea developmental technology ****** ets from Columbia Power Technologies, extending its capabilities from the ocean surface to the seabed.
Ocean Power Technologies achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2 compliance, positioning it to pursue defense programs requiring protection of controlled unclassified information. After the quarter ended, the company was selected as one of six potential awardees under a $40 million multiple-award contract supporting the Naval Oceanographic Office, creating an opportunity to compete for ocean-floor mapping task orders using unmanned surface vehicles.

Iran is deliberately targeting U.S. naval drones in the Strait of Hormuz to gather intelligence on American surveillance capabilities and learn how to evade U.S. defenses, drone experts warned Tuesday.
Tehran's strategy is coordinated, they said, and involves exposing critical insights into U.S. Navy theater operations in the world's most vulnerable maritime choke point even when classified data is uncompromised.
The warning came as tensions escalated in the Gulf region Sept. 14 after the U.S. military destroyed two Iranian small boats amid an attempted seizure by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of an American unmanned surface vessel (USV) patrolling the area, according to reports.

On September 14, Coda Octopus Group (NASDAQ:CODA) reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 results that quietly crossed a threshold the company had never reached in its public history: positive retained earnings, after years of operating at an accumulated deficit. Revenue rose 9.2% year over year to $7.7 million, and pretax income climbed 16% to $1.8 million, even as instability in the Middle East knocked down the marine technology unit that has long been the company's calling card. The reason the quarter held together anyway comes down to where the growth actually showed up.
Defense engineering revenue jumped 68.3% to $2.7 million during the quarter, and the momentum did not look like a one-time ****** p. Sustainment spares orders have already topped $2.4 million year to date, and one prime contractor customer's new multiyear repair and sustainment award has since fed additional subcontract work back to Coda Octopus. On the newer end of the business, the company's US defense engineering team is now supporting several prime contractors building rugged, deployable RF electronic warfare systems for unmanned platforms, helicopters, airborne pods, and ground vehicles.
The DAVID diving system added its own proof points. Coda Octopus has delivered 24 DAVID systems to the US Navy to date, including 16 untethered units earlier in the year, and the Navy's authorization for use ****** sment on that untethered system was completed during the year, clearing it for full operational deployment. Since the quarter closed, the Navy has placed about $1.4 million in additional orders covering tethered systems and DAVID Flex adoption, including four units bought specifically for diving school and academy training. A European navy that already bought in is also expected to firm up a procurement roadmap later this year, while the new Nano sonar is being tested by subsea robotics OEMs and research groups for next-generation autonomous platforms. All of that arrived alongside $31.7 million in cash, no debt, and a balance sheet management says can fund acquisitions.
None of that offsets what happened in marine technology, the segment that still generates the largest share of revenue. Marine tech sales fell 15.2% to $3.4 million as customer activity slowed across the Middle East and parts of Asia, and hardware revenue specifically dropped 17.8% to $2.3 million. Improved rental utilization, with rental revenue up 131.1%, cushioned the blow but did not reverse it, and management has tied the weakness directly to geopolitical conditions it cannot control.
