Hanwha and Milrem are expanding THeMIS cooperation across Australasia markets. The framework includes local production, sustainment, supply chain development and regional payload integration.
Rheinmetall and Praetorian have delivered an Australian AERIE prototype system. The containerised counter-UAS launcher carries more than 20 interceptors and moves into operator demonstrations this quarter.
Australia has received its second HIMARS tranche two years early. The accelerated delivery accompanies domestic GMLRS production and continued expansion of the Army’s ability to strike at long range.
BAE will supply F-35 electronic warfare systems for Lots 20–22. The contract also covers equipment for retrofit and modernisation of aircraft delivered under earlier production configurations.
Keysight is connecting AI agents directly to RF design tools. ADS 2027 combines MCP access, Python automation and simulation to keep generated changes inside established engineering workflows.
SRC has received its first Gryphon radar Domestic Shield order. The $10.24m package covers one R1440, two R1540 radars and the integration, installation and training needed to field them.
Boeing will triple PAC-3 MSE seeker output through seven years. The approximately $14.7bn contract action expands an established Huntsville production programme rather than covering complete interceptors.
Anduril plans a $3.7bn shipyard at Maryland’s Sparrows Point site. Arsenal-2 will add two million square feet of manufacturing capacity to the US submarine industrial base.
France completed first M51.3 acceptance firing from submarine Le Vigilant. The unarmed launch tested the submarine’s weapon system after its scheduled deep maintenance period.
Germany now has direct access to dedicated SAR reconnaissance satellites. Production has also started in Neuss, where Rheinmetall ICEYE is building, integrating, testing and certifying spacecraft for the constellation.
