A Sheffield titanium specialist is moving deeper into defence production. New contract wins tied to large structural castings add momentum to a broader reshoring push in high-integrity titanium manufacture.
-
Leonardo expands Europe’s land defence manufacturing footprint with Iveco. The €1.6 billion acquisition of Iveco Group’s defence business gives Leonardo direct control of vehicle manufacturing capacity alongside its electronics, turret, and systems integration strengths.
-
KNDS and EOS are widening the remote weapons supply chain. Their teaming deal points to fresh integration work around exportable, ITAR-free lethality packages.
-
Thermal concealment is moving from specialist gear into wider procurement. The US Marine Corps is seeking a multispectral overgarment that can reduce visual and infrared detection while still meeting strict requirements on weight, durability, and field usability.
-
Denmark is upgrading simulation as core military infrastructure. Its seven-year OneArc deal turns synthetic training into a long-cycle software, terrain-data, and support programme rather than a standalone procurement of training devices.
-
The first combat use of PrSM changes the programme’s context. What had been a modernisation effort centred on range, launcher compatibility, and test data has now entered operations, where production depth and force design matter at least as much as missile performance.
-
Deployable metal printing is shortening battlefield repair cycles dramatically now. A Tennessee field trial returned a deadlined U.S. Army vehicle to service in under a day, turning a weeks-long parts delay into a same-shift repair.
-
A successful launcher-integrated flight pushes iRocket closer to scaled production. The Mach 2 test strengthens the case for a domestically built 70mm counter-UAS effect that can fit established launcher architectures.
-
Britain has now acknowledged repair hubs operating inside wartime Ukraine. The disclosure shows land sustainment moving beyond export support and into deployed industrial repair, overhaul, and technical transfer.

Military mixed reality is finally being forced into engineering discipline. After years of oversized ambition, the post-IVAS market is converging on smaller displays, body-worn compute, tighter power management, and a more modular architecture built for soldiers rather than slide decks.
