Our cutting-edge air-defence #laser to protect Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots from missiles defeated all threats in trials. The system defeated a range of infrared heat-seeking #missiles being fired simultaneously during the tests in Sweden. This could help keep aircrew and aircraft safe during missions. Partnerships like Team Pellonia also help boost economic growth, sustaining 700 jobs at Thales in Glasgow and 1,250 specialist roles at Leonardo in Edinburgh. https://lnkd.in/eQGbTzWD John Healey MP Mark Stead Stephen McCann UK Ministry of Defence

Well done Ronni! 👏 👏 👏
At the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications 60th Anniversary and in awe of Prof. Veronica Bowman OBE who gave a fantastic talk on the value of mathematics and its applications. It’s rare to find someone so technically brilliant who is also a fantastic communicator (and a kind person who gives so much to mentoring and supporting others). I’m very grateful to work with her and benefit from her wisdom. The talk was really well received and really demonstrated the quality of the science that is often done to support government.

Check out this animation showing how the made-in-Canada Redwing microsatellite will fly in tandem formation with the nanosatellite, known as the Little Innovator in Space Situational Awareness, or LISSA. Together, they will support research and development on monitoring objects orbiting Earth, while orbiting the North and South poles about 200 km apart.

DRDC’s new agile microsatellite, which will be designed, built, and operated in Canada, known as Redwing, is gaining a partner nanosatellite that will fly in tandem formation to advance research and development in space domain awareness. The new nanosatellite, known as the Little Innovator in Space Situational Awareness, or LISSA, is a joint project with the UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), Magellan Aerospace Limited, and students from the University of Manitoba!

We will be testing a short wave infrared camera to identify objects in orbit over the South Pole in collaboration with Canadian partners on the Redwing microsatellite #SpaceDomainAwareness (SDA) mission scheduled to launch in 2027 🛰️ Redwing will track objects in congested orbits with improved sensors, and provide near real-time tasking in response to evolving #space events. It will be directed and tasked by the Department of National Defence’s science and technology organisation, Defence Research and Development Canada | Recherche et développement pour la défense Canada (DRDC). The satellite will itself deploy a smaller nanosatellite that will incorporate a payload from us on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence and UK Space Command. The nanosatellite, known as Little Innovator in Space Situational Awareness (LISSA), will incorporate as its primary payload a Dstl experimental Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) camera. Once separated, Redwing and LISSA will fly in tandem in sun-synchronous low Earth orbit, approximately 575km above the Earth and up to 200km apart. The mission will assess the capabilities of the SWIR camera with particular focus on the South Pole of Earth, where the glare from the illuminated Antarctic ice sheet can hinder object identification in orbit #WSW2024 Bornea Dynamics Magellan Aerospace Limited University of Manitoba https://lnkd.in/eYK3znKf

A huge congratulations to Laura Jones FREng FIMMM from Dstl on your election as Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering; a great honour which acknowledges the outstanding contribution to UK defence and security, as one of the nation’s eminent materials experts. Laura’s work and achievements (and 5 patents!) are an impressive read if you can spare a few minutes… https://lnkd.in/ebNE5GwU
