BAE Systems has demonstrated the Endura processor’s radiation-hardened space performance. Trusted microelectronics remain a central constraint in resilient defence satellites.
Marconi has completed Swedish trials of its Archer troposcatter system. The test highlights demand for resilient networks beyond satellite dependency.
US cyber deadlines are turning encryption into a contractor issue. The move toward post-quantum cryptography will force defence suppliers to map algorithms, certificates, embedded systems, software, communications links, manufacturing networks, and long-life platform support.
17Tech is opening a Kyiv defence technology R&D validation centre. The Finnish accelerator will help European startups validate products with Ukrainian soldiers and defence experts.
Shield AI is integrating autonomy software with Spanish drone systems. The partnership with UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía points to software-defined capability across European unmanned aircraft.
Australia is exporting long-range radar capability into Canada’s Arctic region. The agreement turns sovereign surveillance expertise into a major Five Eyes industrial programme focused on remote air and maritime monitoring.
Leonardo has introduced a Cyber Defence Suite for military systems. The architecture links strategic awareness, tactical coordination, and onboard cyber protection, supporting connected vehicles, naval platforms, avionics mission systems, space infrastructure, and ground control segments.
ASELSAN has now brought DRONEDEF into the counter-UAS market segment. The system combines radar, jamming, laser, high-power electromagnetic effects, interceptor drones, and airburst weapons, reflecting the shift from isolated counter-drone products to integrated production architectures.
Northrop’s protected SATCOM award hardens tactical communications against jamming threats. The prototype combines payload, waveform, ground, and test work.
Hostile-state cyber activity is putting suppliers inside national defence risk. The NCSC warning strengthens pressure on production resilience and recovery.
