💥🤩 The US Army has demonstrated the capabilities of nine of its counter-small unmanned aerial systems against more than 40 aerial targets. Described by the service as its “most challenging counter-drone systems test to date,” the test aimed to evaluate the command-and-control capabilities of its available C-sUAS weapons. These systems include radio frequency scanners and jammers, electro-optical/infrared cameras, kinetic interceptor drones, and guided rockets. “You’ve got so many [UAS] coming at you… You don’t want to obviously engage the target multiple times,” the army’s Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Systems Office acquisition chief Col. Michael N. Parent, PMP said. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #drone #drones #uas #uav #cuas #counterdrone #counterdronetechnology #usarmy #airdefense #airdefence

🤩 Kratos Defense and Security Solutions has demonstrated a trolley-based launch system for the XQ-58A Valkyrie drone. A Kratos Trolley Launch System-assisted XQ-58A can take off from runways or traditional roads without reducing its payload or the fuel required for conventional retractable launching gear. “As we watch peer adversaries in both their preparations and active conflicts, and at the same time see the DoD budget impacts in our own nation, we have challenged ourselves at Kratos to solve today’s defense challenges with solutions that are realizable, near term achievable, and affordable,” Kratos Unmanned Systems Division President Steve Fendley said. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #drone #drones #uav #uas

🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸 The AUKUS alliance has successfully conducted the maiden trial of its artificial intelligence-enabled drones in a “real-time military environment.” The test brought together several unmanned systems from each of the three nations, working collaboratively to identify ground-based targets faster and operate with reduced risk to human life. It also demonstrated the ability of AI-enabled unmanned aerial vehicles to accurately locate, disable, and destroy enemy assets. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #artificialintelligence #ai #aukus #australia #uk #us #drone #drones #uas #uav

🥊 General Atomics Aeronautical Systems has been contracted to turn a pair of MQ-20 Avenger drones into surrogate adversary autonomous aircraft for a Pentagon training program. The MQ-20s will be modified with advanced sensors, data links, and mission systems, enabling them to act as advanced air-to-air threats to current fourth and fifth generation US fighters. “GA-ASI has continued to invest and deploy our open architecture autonomy ecosystem integrated with best-of-breed mission systems,” GA-ASI VP for Agile Mission Systems Jeff Hettick said. “We are thrilled to partner with TRMC to bring these capabilities that create operationally relevant Red Air surrogates and significantly improve Blue Force mission success in realistic air-to-air training scenarios.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #drone #drones #uas #uav #militarytraining #aviation #militaryaviation #aerospace #generalatomics #gaasi

In an effort to modernize its logistics and enhance operational efficiency, the Marine Corps is exploring innovative solutions, including the adoption of autonomous watercraft and strategic partnerships, as emphasized by Gen. Christopher Mahoney in a discussion with Defense One in Washington, D.C. Recognizing logistics as a critical component of military success, Mahoney highlighted initiatives like the Global Positioning Network for improved supply visibility and distribution. Modernization efforts also include the introduction of new, cost-effective amphibious Medium Landing Ships (LSM) and autonomous low-profile vessels (ALPV), alongside large and medium autonomous drones, to bolster supply chain maneuverability and sustainability. This holistic approach signifies a pivotal year for the Marine Corps, focusing on testing and evaluation to ensure logistical advancements meet the dynamic demands of modern warfare. #marinecorps #logistics #autonomousvehicles #militaryinnovation #modernization #defense #technology #drones #globalpositioningnetwork #supplychain Source- https://lnkd.in/gecVWA-8

💥🙌 MBDA is showcasing the integration of a new effector concept into its Sky Warden counter-drone system in partnership with Fortem Technologies. The collaboration integrates Fortem’s advanced DroneHunter technology with MBDA’s Sky Warden modular solution, which uses artificial intelligence to help operators identify and classify threats. “Our flagship Sky Warden modular [counter-drone] system is designed to evolve at the same rapid speed as the drone threat the world now faces, as demonstrated so effectively in recent trials,” MBDA CEO Eric Béranger said. Featuring an independent warhead design, operators can deploy the new platform instantly on the battlefield. “Fortem Technologies is honored to contribute to this cutting-edge solution, providing unmatched expertise and technology to enhance the Sky Warden system,” said Fortem Technologies CEO Jon Gruen. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #drone #drones #uas #suas #counterdronetechnology #cuas #mbda #fortemtechnologies #airdefense #airdefence
