🚀 Romania is making significant strides in enhancing its military capabilities! With the recent approval of a comprehensive Equipment Plan for 2024-2033, Romania is set to modernise its defense strategy, focusing on advanced #ISR systems to meet evolving threats. This includes key contracts for new infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled howitzers, reflecting the nation's commitment to strengthen its forces in alignment with NATO standards. This strategic focus was echoed at the #AirborneISR2024 conference, where Colonel Florescu Virgil Nicu (Commander 18th ISR Brigade, Romanian Army) lead discussions centered on adapting the Romanian Land Forces' ISR capabilities for Large Scale Combat Operations. It’s an exciting time for innovation and collaboration in defence! Stay tuned for more updates as we explore the future of military technology! 🌍✨ #ISRTechnology #DefenceInnovation #MilitaryDrones #IntelligenceSurveillanceReconnaissance #GlobalDefence #ISRConference #ISRInnovation #DefenceNetworking #ISRCapabilities #MaritimeSecurity

ScioTeq recently participated in a joint Integrated Combat Solution (ICS) demonstration, developed by BAE Systems and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace at the AUSA 2024 Annual Meeting and Expo. The ICS is a digital integration platform that combines hardware and software to improve situational awareness and combat capability. This system is a transformational situational awareness capability that vastly increases Soldiers’ battlefield situational awareness and allows them to share and rapidly pass targeting information across the battlefield to other platforms, and then engage a target remotely. It is platform agnostic and includes networked sensors on different battlefield assets to allow for command and control from a single screen. You are invited to watch the video below highlighting ScioTeq’s role in the demonstration with its new 32-inch 4K display which has been ruggedized with military connectors and all critical options for ground army applications and mobile command on the move.   #IntegratedCombatSolutions #USArmy #MissionCriticalTechnology #AUSA2024 #SituationalAwareness #CombatTechnology #MilitaryDisplays #DefenseInnovation

Following the support of the German government and the approval by the German Parliament, Exosens is proud to announce a new contract extension as part of the OCCAR Night Vision Capability Programme in collaboration with the HENSOLDT Optronics (Pty) Ltd and THEON INTERNATIONAL. OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation) is an international organisation managing cooperative defence equipment programmes for European Armed Forces. This contract reinforces our role as a trusted provider of high-performance solutions for European defence. Exosens will supply Photonis 4G 16mm image intensifier tubes, the European standard widely adopted across NATO forces, further solidifying our leadership in amplification technologies. This success strengthens our 2025 guidance while enhancing our mid-term outlook. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ezsd3i6D #NightVision #OCCAR #Photonis #Exosens

💥 Our AI-powered K1000ULE Ultra Long Endurance UAS platforms are revolutionizing how we address global issues. For example, in our recent operation in the Americas Pacific with the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC), the K1000ULE was tasked with relaying signals from soldiers carrying TSM® enabled L3Harris radios, connecting squad leaders to division echelons over various Hawian terrains. The K1000ULE's successful performance in the JPMRC further validates its potential to revolutionize communication in challenging environments. Its ability to operate for extended periods, reach remote areas, and overcome terrain obstacles makes it an essential tool for enabling effective communication in diverse scenarios.

😎 The US Army has awarded L3Harris Technologies a $263-million contract for additional Enhanced Night Vision Goggle–Binocular systems. The fused night-vision technology provides advanced capabilities to identify and engage targets in low-light conditions. “With the ability to extend the system as a communication hub or sensor, we can increase soldiers’ situational awareness and drive connectivity with the larger Integrated Tactical Network,” said Samir Mehta, Communication Systems President at L3Harris. #military #army #defense #defenseindustry #security #goggles

Building on the success of #DVD2024, where the Supacat team showcased the HMT Armoured Closed Cab (ACC), we are delighted to demonstrate our teaming with Moog UK - RIwP to provide a fully integrated Short-Range Air Defence (SHORAD) solution - this collaborative effort is available for the British Army and other forces to view at Defence iQ #IAV2025 . Through effective platform and mission system integration, we aim to protect lives from tactical battlefield threats. Find out more at the Supacat stand B13/F7. https://ow.ly/QbAh50UK3yO #Protectinglives and #Protectingtheplanet, #IAV, #IAV2025 #ArmouredVehicles, #Defence, #BritishArmy, #Modularity, #SHORAD #MilitaryVehicles #GVA

We are introducing a series of analytical articles on defence tech from the Defence Builder team. In the first article, Kateryna Kistol, an Analyst at Defence Builder Accelerator, explores the key differences between #defencetech and #miltech — terms that have become widespread in Ukraine during the full-scale war. While often used interchangeably, these concepts have distinct meanings and implications. Kateryna's analysis reveals how defence technologies encompass the entire ecosystem from production to integration, whereas military technology focuses on specialised weapons systems and equipment, designed for the needs of warfare.

Any electromagnetic energy transmitted represents a potential vulnerability, but it also represents a potential opportunity. To hide, create a vast collection of false electromagnetic signatures. Spread them around. Make them look real. Make them cheap. Make your adversary blow THEM up, wasting resources on the false signatures......and hide the real ones as best you can. Think of trying to communicate within a crowded bar, but you know that someone is trying to overhear your conversation and so Chris Farley is at the bar trying to distract him. In the future it will be difficult to have little to no electromagnetic signature. Our embrace of technology precludes that possibility. So instead focus on alternative solutions, designed to confuse and obfuscate.

The US military is testing out robot dogs equipped with rifles as part of a new programme. These robotic canines are being developed with AI and data analysis to identify potential threats to military resources. The Department of Defense has been assessing these units over the past few years, exploring their potential applications in various military scenarios. #Digibble #RobotDogsWithRifles #AIEnabledMilitaryTechnology #AutomatedMilitaryRecon #MilitaryAIInnovation

#defencetech vs #miltech "By comparison, in the framework of defence-tech, one can easily imagine a multicopter type cargo drone, used both on the battlefield — for attack operations or delivery of various kinds of cargo to the friendly units, — as well as in rescue operations, not in a conflict zone. Instead, mil-tech production is originally designed and constructed entirely for warfare purposes." That's the interesting perspective. Are you agree #defencetech = dual-use solutions?
