We have patch 1.7 atm.

This patch has Global Events (week long event, each month), and Classified Gear (i.e. some gear sets with higher stats - effectively 256++ gear score, and 5pc and 6pc gear talents).

Patch 1.8 still at an unknown distance. Other peeps here can better speculate when it is likely to drop than I. But that patch prolly has the things you have seen.

 
Things coming in patch 1.8 (assuming you mean you want to know of the patch coming next?)

 - PTS for 1.8 available end of Sept or start of October we believe.

- New open world (LZ) area "West Docks" including USS Intrepid and up North as far as West 52nd street I think.

 - Two new game modes: Resistance (PvE HORDE MODE) & new PvP 4 vs. 4 arena combat (with no PvE elements at all)

- New Rogue and DZ mechanics

- New Classified and named items (might be gear or weapons or both, unsure)

- New Alert missions which seem to be similar to critical S&D missions but failure has a negative impact on your environment

- New Ai spawn mechanics: Ai can and will spawn from random locations and not spawn and patrol set areas only

- New mini-BoO in new area

- New story based echos and side missions (no main story missions that we're aware of)

- New Recalibration options using Division Tech as currency (intended as a way for you to recraft obsolete gear/equipment)

..think that's the highlights. Currently the push is to stock up on Div Tech if you can. 

 
See Ubisoft sent me a email about the patch with a trailer telling what was to come as of August.31/2017 I been on Division sense then didn't see anything new so maybe my Xbox One didn't get this patch yet but I will keep checking here and on the web see what is going on

Thanks again guy's for the help 

 
Think 31 Aug was the official release of the West side Pier trailer. They were promoting it prior by hinting about a mysterious SHD signal.

Finally....

The (Hamish) Warship or (Skill-up) Aircraft Ship, why is it so hard to check the Aircraft Carriers website, will be accessible although I am holding my enthusiasm as it feels like the ability to go inside may be very minor...

Most of the rest looks interesting.  

TBH now the GE has finished, 1.7 does not feel too different from 1.6.  The tiny drop rate of Classified gear and then the RNG to get the set, piece, ok stats mean you have to be exceptionally lucky.  I am still trying to get the 6th piece for both Deadeye and Final Measure sets.
