A 90-year-old grazing law just collided with one of the most controversial conservation efforts in the American West. In January 2026, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a Proposed Decision to rescind grazing permits that allowed the privately owned bison of American Prairie, a Montana-based nonprofit conservation organization, to graze federal allotments in central Montana. Those permits were approved in 2022 after environmental review. Now, the agency says it lacks authority under the Taylor Grazing Act to authorize that use. I live in the middle of this fight. On my town’s main street sits the American Prairie visitor center.…

KÖNIGSLUTTER, GERMANY (23 February 2026) Mehler Protection presents SCILT, a new close-range protection system to counter drones attacking land vehicles from short range and low angles. The system is presented for the first time at Enforce Tac 2026. Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) increasingly no longer approach only from above. Instead, they emerge from terrain, ditches, flanks, and rear sectors, appearing at very short distance and leaving minimal reaction time. SCILT is conceived specifically to address this immediate close-in envelope, where conventional mobile air-defence systems and unit-level counter-UAS solutions reach detection and defeat limits. SCILT is conceived as a dedicated last…
