Airbus and Kawasaki will study Eurodrone for Japanese submarine surveillance. The work links long-endurance UAV production with maritime sensors, P-1 integration, and Indo-Pacific ASW demand.
-
BAE Systems has demonstrated the Endura processor’s radiation-hardened space performance. Trusted microelectronics remain a central constraint in resilient defence satellites.
-
US lawmakers have backed fresh funding for E-7 Wedgetail development. The decision preserves airborne battle-management production and mission-system integration work.
-
Airbus is raising C295 output at its Seville assembly line. Demand remains strong for tactical transport, surveillance, and special-mission aircraft.
-
Belgium has received its first Airbus H145M from Donauwörth site. The 20-aircraft programme links military and police modernisation with European rotorcraft production and sustainment demand.
-
Lockheed Martin is now moving hypersonics closer to production discipline. NXGB has completed preliminary design review, with affordability, scalability, and multi-platform launch central to its development path.
-
Ball bearings have now entered Britain’s defence supply-chain debate sharply. Their production links steel policy to missiles, aircraft, naval gearboxes, armoured vehicles, radar systems, and turret stabilisation.
-
India is pushing naval autonomy into carrier aviation planning work. A carrier-capable UCAV would stretch stealth manufacturing, deck integration, datalinks, propulsion, and sustainment at sea.
-
Ghost Bat enters Pacific exercise testing with allied combat aircraft. Boeing’s MQ-28 now faces a harder test of autonomy, payload integration, sustainment, and production discipline.
-
Poland has selected V-BAT systems for Polish naval surveillance missions. The ship-compatible VTOL UAS gives the Polish Navy a compact ISR option for Baltic operations, where deck footprint, endurance, electronic warfare resilience, supportability, and rapid maintenance shape operational value.
