One of the reasons why the K9A2 Thunder is the best solution for the British Army’s Mobile Fires Platform (MFP) programme is its Composite Rubber Track (CRT) system. As Hanwha Team Thunder UK we are partnered with SOUCY DEFENSE to deliver this advanced capability. Composite rubber track empowers K9A2 Thunder with: ✅ high levels of tactical survivability ✅ reduced need for maintenance ✅ up to 50% weight reduction compared to traditional materials and up to 30% fuel saving ✅ enhanced range of strategic mobility choices by road, air, rail and RORO ✅ reduced operating costs Soucy's Composite Rubber Track stands as not just a technological innovation but a strategic enabler, supporting K9A2 to be the most advanced artillery platform. Its multifaceted benefits, ranging from operational efficiency to cost savings, position CRT as a key player in shaping the future of military mobility and capability. As the British Army focuses on Through Life Capability Management, Hanwha continues to evolve, embracing technologies like CRT becomes imperative in ensuring that artillery platforms are not just formidable on the battlefield but also sustainable throughout their operational life. 🌟 Soucy’s manufacturing agreement with Supacat ensures that the Composite Rubber Track components will be manufactured in South West England, contributing to the UK’s economy, and supporting high-skilled jobs in the local area. #CompositeRubberTrack #RubberTrack #Artillery #SelfPropelledHowtizer #Howitzer #Defence #BritishArmy #Army #MFP #K9A2Thunder #ModernWarfare #ArtilleryInnovation #TeamThunder #HanwhaAerospaceUK

With a multiple barrel rocket launcher, army can easily launch multiple rockets in rapid succession, which, coupled with the large kill zone of each warhead, can easily deliver saturation fire over a target area. Making Indian Army more advanced each day : #tataadvanced

Greensea IQ to Advance MESR Mk20 Expeditionary ROV >> https://hubs.la/Q02TBjdv0 Greensea IQ has been awarded a Phase II contract from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) under SBIR Topic #N211-06 to enhance the MESR Mk20 Expeditionary ROV platform. The project will integrate manipulators, enabling intuitive one-operator control of both the ROV and the manipulator system. This integration will allow ROVs to execute more complex tasks in marine environments. "This project with the U.S. Navy is the epitome of Greensea’s motivation. It will allow defense operators to use robots as meaningful and viable tools offshore, creating scale and safety in their mission to combat threats." - Ben Kinnaman, CEO of Greensea IQ.

In a thought-provoking article on War on the Rocks, Sidharth Kaushal delves into the future of Europe's amphibious forces and their role in the evolving combat environment. The article highlights the challenges faced by these forces, including the risk posed by anti-access/area denial capabilities at sea and the ability of adversary militaries to deliver large volumes of fires on rapid cycles on land. Kaushal emphasizes the need for European marines to adapt and define their role in this changing landscape. One key challenge they face is how to maintain effectiveness as a distributed force. However, Kaushal argues that by aligning marine organizations with fleets and leveraging emerging concepts of operations, marines can overcome this challenge. The article suggests that by subsuming their concepts of operations within the traditional maritime functions of strike and securing sea control, European marines can deliver considerable utility. This involves closer cooperation between marine organizations and fleets optimized for sea denial in littoral spaces. By operating as a distributed raiding capability, European marines can effectively exploit the entirety of the littoral as a maneuver space and become critical enablers for delivering effects inland. Kaushal also discusses the evolving threats and opportunities for amphibious forces in Europe. With the likelihood of facing a Russian force on narrow fronts, European marines have the potential to expand the geometry of the battlefield by using the littoral as a space from which inland strike capabilities can be generated. This article provides valuable insights into the future of Europe's marines and their crucial role in the European littoral operating environment. It invites readers to consider the strategic importance of adaptation and closer alignment between marine organizations and fleets to ensure the continued effectiveness of amphibious forces. #Marines #MarineCorps #AmphibiousForces #LittoralOperations #FutureCombat #EuropeanSecurity

The British are coming! The mighty 3rd BCT from 1AD (BULLDOGS) are getting ready for the Box and have the excellent Queens Dragoon Guards embedded as their Recce! With 1200 sq miles of space to operate in, the recce will face its most significant challenge to date. Interoperability is often discussed, but here at the NTC, it is tested, shaped and made fit for combat. The forces are deploying against the Black Horse, the GOAT of desert operations! The US and UK forces will stress test doctrine, tactics and every facet of the interoperability conundrum when facing large-scale operations! It’s only here at the NTC that one of the oldest military relationships on the planet can be proved more potent than ever and, most importantly, ready to fight and win! #Britisharmy #army #fight #win #tactics #interoperability #multidomain
