Lockheed Martin has completed Kodiak’s first integrated live-fire launcher test. The containerised system fired a practice rocket and is intended for deployment from air, land, and maritime platforms.
John F. Kennedy has begun final acceptance trials before delivery. The second Ford-class carrier returned to sea after builder’s trials, with several weapons elevators still completing construction.
GA-ATS has added TRAKKA multispectral imaging to Do228 NXT aircraft. The partnership creates an integrated TC-375 option for surveillance, reconnaissance, and other special-mission configurations.
Dstl research could make military thermal cameras smaller and lighter. The detector architecture increases infrared efficiency while targeting substantially higher operating temperatures and reduced cooling requirements.
Rheinmetall has launched FV-014 loitering munitions from moving tactical vehicles. The customer demonstration paired the weapon with a containerised launcher and tested several simulated mission profiles.
Rauma Marine is scaling naval and Arctic shipbuilding capacity rapidly. Four Pohjanmaa corvettes, US cutter work, and sustained yard investment are converging at Rauma.
Rolls-Royce is expanding Australian production for Type 26 propulsion systems. Marand will build three additional MT30 acoustic enclosures and ship interface systems in Melbourne.
Saab demonstrated distributed radar operation without relying on GPS timing. The UK trial paired Giraffe 1X radars with AQlock quantum timing sources under simulated spoofing and denial.
Hyundai Rotem and KAI will integrate future aviation weapons jointly. Work covers KF-21 integration, long-range air-to-air missiles, and packaged export opportunities.
Australia and America tested autonomous undersea systems together during RIMPAC. The AUKUS activity combined subsea vehicles, surface autonomy, and acoustic communications around critical infrastructure protection.
