  • India looks to put stealth drones at sea

    India is pushing naval autonomy into carrier aviation planning work. A carrier-capable UCAV would stretch stealth manufacturing, deck integration, datalinks, propulsion, and sustainment at sea.


  • Polish Navy selects V-BAT for maritime surveillance missions

    Poland has selected V-BAT systems for Polish naval surveillance missions. The ship-compatible VTOL UAS gives the Polish Navy a compact ISR option for Baltic operations, where deck footprint, endurance, electronic warfare resilience, supportability, and rapid maintenance shape operational value.


  • Boeing P-8A upgrade links US and Australian maritime patrol fleets

    Boeing will modernise Poseidon aircraft for American and Australian fleets. The $121.2m order reinforces the industrial weight of maritime patrol sustainment, where sensor refresh, mission-system updates, retrofit capacity, and allied interoperability now shape anti-submarine warfare readiness.


  • HII contract exposes the machinery behind fleet readiness

    HII will support US Navy shipboard elevator readiness work globally. The $418m contract covers repair, maintenance, training, and rapid-response support across carriers and amphibious ships.


  • Okinawa deployment puts NMESIS and MADIS into the Pacific production spotlight

    US Marines have deployed new missile systems into Japan’s Okinawa. NMESIS and MADIS reinforce demand for mobile, networked equipment built for distributed Indo-Pacific operations.


  • South Korea sharpens frigate production rhythm

    South Korea has delivered another advanced frigate into naval service. The Gyeongbuk handover reinforces the country’s ability to move complex surface combatants through build, trials, and acceptance at a tempo increasingly relevant to export buyers.


  • HII REMUS 130 moves portable undersea autonomy forward

    HII has delivered the first REMUS 130 underwater vehicle system. The portable UUV adds modernised electronics, open architecture, field-swappable batteries, and common control software to a widely used autonomous undersea family.


  • Navantia’s Saudi corvette launch extends Avante production

    Navantia has launched another Saudi corvette at Spain’s San Fernando. HMS ALMADINAH extends Avante 2200 production into a second batch, combining Spanish shipbuilding, Saudi completion work, combat-system integration, training, and long-term support.


  • SEA AUKUS award puts acoustic modelling into undersea autonomy

    SEA’s AUKUS funding puts acoustic modelling behind undersea autonomy control. The work supports communications planning for autonomous maritime systems.


  • Portugal’s ICEYE order expands sovereign SAR capacity

    Portugal’s SAR order gives Atlantic surveillance a stronger sovereign layer. ICEYE will supply two more radar-imaging satellites through CTI Aeroespacial.
