The likelihood of an active air #defence 🚀 capability being used in anger remains very low in Europe, but not in the case of a rogue or loose missile that might need to be intercepted - Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) Operating at the forefront of modern technology, air defence is a remarkably complex set of systems that have to work together flawlessly. The more complex the system 💡 , the more capable threat designed it to intercept, and the more complex the threat environment Enhancing system effectiveness by even a couple of % points can make a remarkable difference – one of the reasons that most of the leading systems are deployed in Ukraine 🪖 The co-ordinated, multi-layered 🚀 European Sky Shield Initiative is the continental European solution tasked with this Defence 🚀 Diehl Defence, IMI Systems Ltd, NATO, Lockheed Martin, European Commission, Boeing, HENSOLDT, Elta, RTX, Rheinmetall Merigo Partners #industrialfuture #military https://lnkd.in/eDHu6_aY

How will BAE Systems’ MARS system enhance communication for the U.S. Army’s rotary-wing fleet? The US Army has awarded BAE Systems a five-year, $460 million contract for the AN/ARC-231/A Multi-mode Aviation Radio Set (MARS). This state-of-the-art system provides secure, mission-critical information to warfighters in challenging environments, enhancing situational awareness and decision-making. The MARS system, designed for rapid programmability and software-defined upgrades, allows for swift adaptation to evolving battlefield needs. Amber Dolan, Director of Adaptive Communications and Sensing at BAE Systems, emphasized the system’s role in delivering scalable communications for tactical missions. With Type 1 Crypto Modernization, the MARS system ensures secure, interoperable communication across U.S. and NATO forces. Production will take place at BAE Systems’ Fort Wayne facility, with engineering support from Largo, Florida. Could this next-generation technology redefine communication capabilities on the battlefield?

SATCOMBw 3 for the Bundeswehr! After the success of the SATCOMBw Stage 2 programme, which we have been delivering since 2009, this latest contract reinforces our strategic partnership with the Bundeswehr (German Federal Armed Forces) providing them with a greatly enhanced secure #milsatcom capability well into the 2040s. At a time when Western democracies are challenged and where the European institutional space ecosystem is struggling, we are excited and grateful to develop and build this leading-edge system. Long term partnerships are crucial to guaranteeing essential sovereignty and capability, and protecting our armed forces in the increasingly unstable geo-political environment. We are happy to engage in this crucial project with OHB SE and several German SME‘s as industrial partners, thereby strengthening the German space ecosystem. #Space #Defence #SpaceMatters #DefenceMatters https://lnkd.in/dK3FyQwr

From a tent in a desert to an office downtown, sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIFs) can be anywhere — because classified information can be anywhere. In an era where knowledge is power, protecting sensitive data is more crucial than ever. Discover how governments and industries are fortifying their defenses to safeguard critical information. https://hubs.li/Q02YJBPb0 #Aviation #Government #Military #Aerospace #Space #Defense

We are excited to present a detailed illustration showcasing potential configurations of our modular system with two, three, and four modules, specifically designed for military applications. 🛡️ These configurations highlight the versatility and adaptability of our technology, capable of meeting various operational needs. Whether it’s for reconnaissance, logistics, or tactical support, our modular approach ensures optimal performance and flexibility in the field. Take a look at the drawing below to see how these configurations can be deployed in real-world scenarios. 📐👇 #MilitaryInnovation #ModularTechnology #Defense #Engineering #ResearchAndDevelopment #MilitaryApplications

The task force will welcome five Australian and three British officers this summer. General Charles Flynn, the US Army Pacific Commander, referred to this as the “initial seed corn of creating that combined capability,” showcasing the collaborative nature of #AUKUS Pillar 2. MDTFs are “theatre-level manoeuvre elements” that are “designed to synchronise precision effects and precision fires in all domains against adversary anti-access/area denial networks in all domains, enabling joint forces to execute their operational plan.” Simply put, MDTFs are specialised units that integrate various advanced technologies to disrupt enemy defences and guarantee the freedom of movement and operation of US and allied forces, even in highly contested areas full of many bad guys with modern kit. China might think that its arsenal of missiles and interlocking sensors – combined with its growing naval power – could keep AUKUS forces out of any fight over Taiwan or the Nine Dash Line. The 3rd MDTF is there to prove Beijing wrong. The MDTF also fields Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) weapons, mobile rocket artillery essential for rapid deployment and strike capability. The addition of Mid-Range and Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon batteries further strengthens the task force’s ability to deliver precise, long-range strikes crucial for penetrating – and crippling – sophisticated air defence networks. https://lnkd.in/eHnGmurQ
