If you know me, you know if it has wheels, wings, rotors, or motors, I’m into it. Earlier this month, I was thrilled to be able to attend the World Defence Show 2024 in Riyadh. The event was a great way to stay current with CARMA's mobility clients across land, sea, air, space, and defense. Following the event, the CARMA team analyzed over 40,000 articles from online, traditional media, and social platforms, focusing on critical themes discussed at the event, like AI, unmanned systems, women in defense, sustainability, and more. The analysis highlights key players such as the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI), SAMI, EDGE, and Lockheed Martin and provides a comparative perspective IDEX 2023, offering insights and recommendations from our expert consultants. I highly recommend downloading our comprehensive report for PRs and communicators interested in the latest advancements and discussions in the defense sector.

Multispectral sensors as EO/IR is not enough anymore, AI will greedily look for any targets. "At the heart of the ARGOS-15 is an AI-powered object detection, classification and tracking system. Using an integrated GPU"

Antennas play a critical role in the functionality of military aircraft, enabling vital communication, navigation, and detection capabilities essential for mission success and pilot safety. When it comes to fighter jets or military aircraft, Rafale is the thing that's been in a lot of discussion, specifically in India, in the last few years. Here are some specific names of antennas used in the Rafale aircraft: 1️⃣ Whip Antenna: A simple, rod-shaped antenna often used for communication purposes due to its omnidirectional radiation pattern. 2️⃣ Blade Antenna: A low-profile, flat antenna typically used for communication or navigation, especially when aerodynamics or stealth are considerations. 3️⃣ L-Band Antenna: An antenna designed to operate in the L-band frequency range (1-2 GHz), commonly used for satellite communication and navigation systems. 4️⃣ UHF Antenna: An antenna operating in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) range (300 MHz to 3 GHz), frequently used for line-of-sight communication and data links. 5️⃣ VHF Antenna: Antennas operating in the Very High Frequency (VHF) range (30 MHz to 300 MHz), often used for air-to-ground communication and navigation. 6️⃣ GPS Antenna: An antenna specifically designed to receive signals from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites for accurate navigation and positioning. 7️⃣ Radar Dish Antenna: A large, dish-shaped antenna commonly used for radar systems to provide long-range detection and tracking capabilities. 8️⃣ Patch Antenna: A flat, rectangular antenna often used for satellite communication, GPS, or data links due to its compact size and directional properties. 9️⃣ Horn Antenna: An antenna with a horn-shaped structure used for wideband applications, including radar and microwave communication. 1️⃣0️⃣ Loop Antenna: An antenna shaped like a loop or coil, commonly used for receiving signals in direction finding, navigation, and communication systems. 1️⃣1️⃣ Helical Antenna: A coil-shaped antenna often used for satellite communication and GPS applications due to its circular polarization and compact size. 1️⃣2️⃣ Log-Periodic Antenna: An antenna with a wide bandwidth and directional properties, suitable for applications requiring broad frequency coverage, such as monitoring or surveillance. Each serves specific functions based on the aircraft's mission requirements and operational needs. #Antenna #Aerospace #Rafael #Aircraft #Military

The U.S. military is embracing commercial satellite connectivity to enhance communications for troops, ships, and drones. With private companies deploying satellites for global internet access. The Commercial Satellite Communications Office (CSCO), overseen by the U.S. Space Force, plays a crucial role in facilitating this transition, managing nearly $7 billion in satcom services contracts across 150 agreements.   https://lnkd.in/eK3vqiQg   Amplitech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG) designs, develops, and manufactures custom and standard state-of-the-art RF components for the Domestic and International, SATCOM, Space, Defense and Military markets. These designs cover the frequency range from 50 kHz to 40 GHz - eventually, offering designs up to 100 GHz. AmpliTech also provides consulting services to help with any microwave components or systems design problems. Our steady growth over the past 13+ years has come about because we can provide complex, custom solutions for nearly ANY custom requirements that are presented to us. In addition, we have the best assemblers, wires, and technicians in the industry and can provide contract assembly of customers' own designs. #nasdaq #ampg #amplitechgroup #5G #quantum

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.

It would be interesting to learn the experience Orbits gained

Another step ahead for #Eurodrone:    OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation) and Airbus Defence and Space, as Prime contractor, have signed the first amendment to the "Stage 2 Development, Production and initial In-Service Support Contract" of the MALE-RPAS (Medium Altitude Long Endurance - Remoted Piloted Air System).    This is undoubtedly a positive contractual milestone in the right direction for this important defence programme, which will give us the first European unmanned aircraft system designed to fly in non-segregated airspace.   This contract amendment introduces an option for training and services, as well as new features requested by the participating countries (France, Germany, Italy and Spain).   The contract was signed in Hallbergmoos (Germany) in the presence of Baptiste Longuet, OCCAR MALE-RPAS Programme Manager, and Erik Lorch, HO Eurodrone Customer Partnership Management at Airbus Defence and Space.   As a cutting-edge UAS innovation programme, #Eurodrone will be designed to perform several types of missions, including maritime and anti-submarine warfare, and will be adapted to the combat cloud.    We must emphasise that the MALE-RPAS programme will guarantee European sovereignty and independence in the management of information and intelligence. https://lnkd.in/dJx7rKks

"Outside the space domain, development and procurement programmes for airborne platforms have been and remain among the most complex, most challenging and most expensive of #defence undertakings. Hitherto, these have been almost exclusively centred on traditionally crewed platforms, though that is changing dramatically as sixth-generation development programmes accelerate and begin to gel around operational concepts and technology insertion. What has not changed, however, is the scale of the challenges facing developers - and operators - in trying to define,, understand and meet the operational requirements of tomorrow’s aerial battlespace. Also unchanged is the debate as to how comprehensive do solutions need to be, and the even more complex debate regarding collaborative development as a potential panacea for challenges ranging from technological capability to budgetary restrictions.
