Auterion Government Solutions and blackned GmbH, providers of the TACTICAL CORE middleware, are entering into a strategic partnership to develop technology for the integration and control of UxV in the digital battlefield. 🌐 Auterion’s manufacturer-independent control software for autonomous robotic systems is set to be integrated into the information and communication network of the digital battlefield.  This will enable the faster distribution of reconnaissance data and the acceleration of the sensor-to-shooter chain through the integration of UxV into the TACTICAL CORE system network.  As a result, this is set to make the intelligence networks denser and more robust. The monitoring and control of UxV will no longer limited to manufacturer-specific systems, but can be taken over from different starting and location points of the battlefield via a common platform, in accordance with the software-defined defense (SDD) principle. 🔗 Find out more >> https://hubs.la/Q02D8zMy0 The solution, developed as part of this partnership, is set to provide a significant increase in innovation speed, efficiency and security when integrating UxV systems from different manufacturers and mission profiles into a networked battlefield.

One challenge lies in the fact that the pool of available assets is unlikely to expand in line with the growing demand. New issuances from the CIS have dramatically declined in the past two years due to the Russia-Ukraine war and higher interest rates. Since the invasion, there has been only one CIS sovereign Eurobond issue, which took place in October 2023 when Uzbekistan sold US dollar and som bonds. Odilbek Isakov, CEO and co-founder of Infrasia Capital and managing director and co-founder of Finasia Capital, highlighted the shift in the market landscape, stating, "Historically, the main issuers were Russian and Ukrainian entities. Now, with the two largest [CIS] countries out of the global markets, it is Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia [left] to fill the gap." https://lnkd.in/eY3QTm3A

A new game-changing weapon that uses radio waves to disable enemy electronics and take down multiple drones at once is under development for the UK’s armed forces. A new game-changing weapon that uses radio waves to disable enemy electronics and take down multiple drones at once is under development for the UK’s armed forces. This forms part of work to put the UK’s defence industry on a war footing following the Prime Minister’s announcement last month of an increase to the defence budget to 2.5% of GDP by 2030. An example of a Radio Frequency Directed Energy Weapon (RFDEW), the versatile system can detect, track and engage a range of threats across land, air and sea. The system will be able to effect targets up to 1km away, with further development in extending the range ongoing. It beams radio waves to disrupt or damage the critical electronic components of enemy vehicles causing them to stop in their tracks or fall out of the sky. RFDEW technology can be mounted on a variety of military vehicles and uses a mobile power source to produce pulses of Radio Frequency energy in a beam that can rapidly fire sequenced shots at individual targets or be broadened to simultaneously engage all threats within that beam. At only 10p per shot fired, the RFDEW beam is a significant cost-effective alternative to traditional missile-based, air defence systems, capable of downing dangerous drone swarms with instant effect. The high level of automation also means the system itself can be operated by a single person. This technology can offer a solution to protection and defence of critical assets and bases. The advanced technology is being developed by a joint team from the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), working with UK industry under Project Hersa. The next steps for RFDEW is undergoing extensive field testing with British soldiers over the summer. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gedTrkrc

Revolutionary GPS-Free Drone Navigation System Promises Breakthrough in Challenging Environments A groundbreaking collaboration between NILEQ, a subsidiary of British missile-maker MBDA, and Advanced Navigation of Sydney, Australia, aims to create a reliable GPS-free navigation solution for drones by combining neuromorphic sensing with inertial navigation systems, according to IEEE Spectrum. Why GPS Alternatives Matter Traditional GPS systems, while precise, have significant vulnerabilities. They can be disrupted by buildings, dense foliage, weather conditions, and even intentional jamming through spoofed radio signals. This limitation has pushed the industry to seek more reliable alternatives for drone navigation. Current solutions like standalone inertial navigation systems (INS) suffer from gradual positioning drift, while visual navigation systems typically require substantial computing resources beyond the capacity of smaller drones. The Tech Behind It The innovative system combines NILEQ's low-power visual navigation system using neuromorphic cameras with Advanced Navigation's fiber optic-based inertial navigation system. "The two things together really neatly solve navigating in a challenging, GPS-denied environment," says Advanced Navigation's CEO Chris Shaw. "You can travel really long distances over a really long time." The combination addresses the limitations of each individual technology while maintaining cost-effectiveness. How It Works The neuromorphic camera, inspired by the human retina, tracks brightness changes across pixels instead of capturing traditional images. This breakthrough approach generates far less data and operates at much higher speeds than conventional cameras. The system creates terrain fingerprints in real-time, comparing them against a pre-loaded satellite imagery database. According to Phil Houghton, head of future concepting at MBDA, "This means that the size of the database loaded onto the host platform is trivial and searching it in real-time requires minimal computation." Cost Considerations While neuromorphic cameras cost around $1,000, they're significantly more cost-effective when paired with cheaper INS components. Traditional high-end navigation systems can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, making this new approach particularly attractive for commercial drone applications. "Using the neuromorphic camera alongside low-cost, inexpensive inertial sensors, there's a big cost and size benefit," Shaw explains. Processing Innovation Advanced Navigation's AI-powered sensor fusion software plays a crucial role in combining the outputs of both technologies. The system provides a single, reliable location reading that drone navigation systems can use similarly to a GPS signal. Shaw emphasizes the user-friendly nature of the system: "A lot of customers in this space want something they can just basically plug in and there's no big learning curve."

CENTUM will launch the next generation of its Lifeseeker airborne phone location system at European Rotors 2024 in Amsterdam next week. The latest features and enhancements will make it easier and faster for Search and Rescue teams to find casualties in even the most challenging terrain. Lifeseeker’s geolocation and universal techniques have been upgraded to enable highly accurate and reliable target geolocation. This both speeds up the location process and enables SAR teams to locate people in the most challenging terrains, including the mountains, without requiring elevation maps. Combined with updated scanning algorithms, this improves efficiency and reduces search times.

The German Ministry of Defence has announced that the Bundestag's budget committee has approved funding for the procurement of Meteor air-to-air guided missiles. This third batch of missiles, costing approximately EUR 521 million, is part of a follow-up measure to earlier deliveries, enhancing the Eurofighter's combat capabilities. Meteor is a state-of-the-art Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile (BVRAAM) system developed by MBDA in collaboration with six European nations. Designed to meet the challenges of modern air combat, the missile equips Eurofighter Typhoons with unparalleled precision and lethality, capable of engaging targets from fast jets to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under all weather conditions. The missile’s advanced active radar seeker enables reliable target detection and engagement even in cluttered or countermeasure-heavy environments. Furthermore, its data link communication capability allows it to operate within a networked environment, leveraging third-party data for flexible operational deployment.
