From October 14-17, we hosted the #5GCOMPAD Global Demonstration event in Riga, Latvia!  Joined by our project partners, LMT showcased advanced 5G deployment scenarios at the Navy Military Base "Daugavgrīva." Attendees experienced a firsthand look at innovative sea, air, and land-based 5G applications—highlighting the future of connectivity across multiple environments. The Global Demonstration included potential network coverage simulations, 5G drone tests, satellite communication integration, and other 5G applications on ships at sea. The 5G COMPAD demonstration in Latvia's 5G testing environment allowed for the evaluation of 5G performance under various conditions and the exploration of new potential use cases.We were honored to have representatives from the European Commission, various European Union Ministries of Defence, and 5G COMPAD partners in attendance. Special thanks to all our consortium partners for their contributions to this successful event and to LMT for hosting and leading the organizational efforts. Exciting times for 5G technology!

Hanwha Systems, WB Group to collaborate on SAR satellites South Korea's Hanwha Systems Co. said on Monday that it signed a mid- to long-term business cooperation memorandum of understanding (MOU) for space business development with WB Group, Poland's largest private defense contractor, in Poland last Wednesday. Under the MOU, the two companies agreed to collaborate on joint marketing and small Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite projects in Poland and Europe. Hanwha Systems strengthens its cooperation with Polish defense companies to participate in Poland's small SAR satellite program, promoted by the Polish Ministry of Defense. Last year, Hanwha Systems also signed an MOU with Polish satellite company Creotech to enter the European small satellite market.

MBDA Deutschland is set to introduce the RCM² (Remote Carrier Multidomain Multirole Effector) weapon system at ILA Berlin - Pioneering Aerospace, which will take place from June 5-9. This marks the first public presentation of the RCM², designed for both kinetic and electromagnetic operations to enhance mission success in contested environments. Developed in Germany, the RCM² is adaptable for various mission profiles, featuring capabilities for both short and long-range engagements. It boasts loitering abilities and can operate in GPS-denied environments. The system allows for interactive command transfer among networked operators and is flexible regarding launch platforms and control domains, supporting joint force operations. RCM² can perform sensor-based reconnaissance and provide real-time situational data. As part of the Next Generation Weapon System within the FCAS programme, MBDA collaborates with Spanish partner SATNUS to drive technological advancements in remote carriers.

It would be interesting to learn the experience Orbits gained

Lots of interesting and compelling thoughts yesterday at #CUASEUROPE2024. The impact of proven mission assured capabilities like Patriot, IBCS, and F-35 cannot be overstated. These systems work, and work well. Years of investment by United States Department of Defense and our allies and partner nations (e.g., UK Ministry of Defence, Ministry of National Defence (Republic Of Poland)) and the people, process, and technology investments by Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and the highly capable and committed suppliers working alongside them cannot be overstated. But it is also clear that the number one issue facing industry and their government customers is their ability to collaborate with each other. This will become more critical as the threat environment continues to evolve more and more rapidly. Assymetric threats, collaborative enemy capabilities (e.g., Shahed 136), and cheap but customized platforms (e.g., DJI) will push our defensive capabilities. Government and industry will have to address long development cycles, the electromagnetic domain, and the lack of robust spending. And the best defensive systems in the world won’t be able to defeat COTS or exquisite threats if there isn’t enough time from when they detect or classify targets to when those targets reach their destination. Are our OODA loops fast enough will be a key question. How we address targets capable of swarm, autonomy, and AI will be critical.And there are many novel technologies being advanced by smaller companies like Echodyne, BlueHalo, Robin Radar Systems, and D-Fend Solutions that are worthy of better understanding and investment. BCE Consulting (BCE)’s team at the conference looks forward to learning more today. Let us know if you are here.

On the sidelines of Eurosatory, a biennial defence and security exhibition held on 17–21 June in Paris, Thales announced that the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) will be acquiring the Ground Master radars. Omnisys, a subsidiary of the French prime in Brazil, will carry out support and maintenance activities. The Department of Airspace Control (DECEA), through the Airspace Control System Implementation Commission (CISCEA), signed the contract for the procurement of the radars on 17 June. The number of systems being purchased, the expected delivery date, and the cost of the procurement are yet to be announced. “We are proud to serve the Brazilian Air Force and DECEA. With a long presence in this country, local footprint with Omnisys, and a strong installed base of more than 100 Air Traffic Control (ATC) radars, this is a new milestone in our collaboration,” said Eric Huber, Thales’ Vice President, Surface Radars. ***** Also at Eurosatory, Thales signed four agreements with Emirati and Ukrainian companies. These included a declaration of intent to form a strategic partnership with the UAE’s KATIM and two agreements with JSC Ukrainian Defense Industry to create a joint venture in Ukraine and develop local maintenance capabilities.
