HAVELSAN has introduced ADVENT-AI as an artificial intelligence layer for its naval combat management system. The upgrade targets anomaly detection, tactical picture generation, electronic warfare conditions, navigation support, monitoring, and naval gunfire prediction for existing and future platforms.

Malaysia is seeking clarification from Norway after export-control changes halted Naval Strike Missile deliveries for its Littoral Combat Ships. The issue adds another supply-chain pressure point to a delayed naval programme already shaped by rework, equipment availability, and delivery risk.
-
Taiwan’s Narwhal submarine has completed its first torpedo launch verification. The milestone moves the indigenous submarine programme further through sea acceptance testing, validating combat system, fire-control, launch, recovery, and integration work central to Taiwan’s long-term undersea production ambitions.

SEA has won the King’s Award for export growth today. The recognition follows overseas contracts for torpedo launch systems, KraitSense anti-submarine warfare equipment, naval communications upgrades, and fleet protection capability, supporting expanded manufacturing capacity in Barnstaple and Ottawa, workforce growth, and a wider international maritime systems footprint for SEA’s exports.

GDOTS and Firehawk will develop 155mm base bleed motors together. The partnership combines General Dynamics munitions integration with Firehawk thermoplastic propellant and moulding processes, targeting extended-range artillery demand while addressing production bottlenecks around energetics, lot consistency, casing tolerances, safety, qualification, and repeatable manufacture for allied 155mm ammunition supply programmes globally.

Army AI cyber work compresses acquisition cycles for defensive tools. The exercise points toward faster pilots for military cyber systems, where vendors must prove secure deployment, realistic testing, auditability, operator control, legacy integration, and support models before autonomous tools move into operational use.

Anduril will lead a space interceptor team for Golden Dome. The Space-Based Interceptor effort brings together Impulse Space, Inversion, K2 Space, Sandia, and Voyager, aiming to develop an orbital missile-defence layer that demands scalable spacecraft production, guidance hardware, propulsion, communications, autonomy, and repeated test infrastructure before any operational constellation deployment.
