HENSOLDT has opened a €300m sensor-production campus in Oberkochen, Germany. The site brings optronics development, manufacture, integration, and testing together as European demand for surveillance and targeting equipment expands.
-
ST Engineering has secured new counter-drone deployments across Asian markets. The systems combine sensors, AI-enabled command software, electronic countermeasures, and hard-kill effectors for military and infrastructure protection.
-
Marine drone standardisation is rapidly becoming a substantial supply-chain programme. Archer fielding will create recurring demand for aircraft, batteries, radios, payloads, spares, software control, repairs, and formal training.
-
Auriga Space will test electromagnetic launch technology against hostile drones. Power density, launcher wear, projectile guidance, and repeated-shot reliability will determine the system’s viability.
-
CoAspire’s CHAOS missile brings additive manufacturing into maritime strike production. A $70m prototype agreement will test whether lower-cost structures can support useful output at scale.
-
Patriot production discussions have opened a difficult industrial path forward. Early work could centre on components, repair, and assembly before any move towards complete interceptor manufacture.
-
Australia has selected SitaWare Headquarters for LAND 4140’s first tranche. Integration, cyber assurance, and continuous software modernisation will shape the programme’s industrial workload.
-
MKU has introduced a passive barrier against small attack drones. The system adds a repairable physical layer beneath electronic and kinetic counter-UAS defences.
-
Bullfrog adds autonomous kinetic engagement to the Marine Corps’ L-MADIS. The integration combines machine vision and conventional weapons with electronic warfare, creating demanding safety, software, ammunition, and vehicle-engineering work.

Ukraine’s Light Gun licence begins with controlled local test manufacture. Serial output would require transferred design authority, qualified suppliers, proof capacity, traceability, and a resilient artillery-production chain operating under wartime pressure.
