⚡️⚔️ Leonardo Electronics has introduced an innovative electronic warfare solution capable of operating deep within enemy territory using drones. Called “BriteStorm,” the drone payload is engineered to degrade hostile air defenses through high-powered interference or “stand-in jamming” capabilities. Deployed ahead of the main force, it suppresses the enemy’s ability to detect and lock onto targets, thereby allowing friendly assets to carry out their missions more effectively. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #leonardo #electronicwarfare #ew #drone #drones #BriteStorm #AUSA2024

💥 After successfully testing its locally designed loitering munitions, France will order up to 2,000 kamikaze drones and deliver the first 100 to Ukraine. The French Defense Innovation Agency, in partnership with Delair and KNDS France, started developing the Colibri drone in 2023. The Colibri is capable of observing, identifying, and neutralizing a static or dynamic threat within a radius of 5 kilometers (3 miles), with a flight time of 45 minutes. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #france #ukraine #drone #drones #uas #uav

🤩 L3Harris Technologies presented its new “Diamondback” autonomous ground vehicle prototype at the Association of the United States Army - AUSA 2024. The defense manufacturer partnered with autonomous ground mobility company Overland AI to develop the vehicle’s CrossCountry Autonomy System that assists it in operating off-road and on unpredictable terrain. The Diamondback was designed to address manpower shortages and the need for ways to conduct safe and efficient operations in situations that pose higher risks for military forces. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #l3harris #autonomous #unmanned

😎 The US Army will implement further design updates to its latest Integrated Visual Augmentation System ahead of its large-scale assessment next year. The service is now focusing on the extensibility of the device, allowing for new features to be added without a complete redesign. The upgrades will integrate a low-light camera with increased sensitivity and a refined focus mechanism, especially when wearing gloves. Once these enhancements are done, the IVAS 1.2 will be tested by soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, ahead of a larger assessment scheduled for next spring. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #usarmy #ivas #ivasgoggles

💥🇺🇸 The US Army has selected five companies to demonstrate their existing self-propelled howitzers, which could potentially fill the gap left by the discontinued Extended-Range Cannon Artillery program. BAE Systems Bofors, Hanwha Defense USA, Inc., American Rheinmetall, Elbit Systems of America, and General Dynamics Land Systems have received contracts totaling $4 million to prepare their artillery weapons for demonstrations beginning next month. According to Maj. Gen. Glenn Dean, program executive officer for ground combat systems, the demonstrations will guide the army’s shift from development to the procurement of a mature and readily available artillery system. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #us #unitedstates #nationalsecurity #artillery
