MBDA and the Ukrainian defence company Ukrainian Armor have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), launching a strategic partnership discussion aimed at developing advanced defence capabilities in the fields of Deep Strike and Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS).
L3Harris Technologies has been selected by the U.S. Army to deliver VAMPIRE counter-unmanned systems (c-UxS) to support urgent defense against hostile drones. The Army’s order is worth up to $106 million as part of the United States’ layered c-UxS defence approach. Continue reading
Rafael, a global supplier of multi-domain defence technology, and SpearUAV, a developer of AI-based encapsulated weapon systems, have announced a strategic collaboration to develop and market the Iron Wasp: an advanced encapsulated UAS interceptor a derivative of SpearUAV’ Viper I (Interceptor) that brings an organic, on-the-move aerial interception capability directly to ground combat platforms.

A drone swarm attacks at low altitude, exploiting terrain cover. Ground-based RF sensors register signals – but the operator remains invisible, positioned behind a ridgeline two kilometres away. No ground sensor can reach him. This scenario is no longer hypothetical. It defines the tactical reality of today’s battlefields – and the capability gap the AARTOS Hawk T1 was designed to close.

U. S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) scientists successfully demonstrated a dual-use laser system capable of wirelessly transmitting power over long distances and rapidly transitioning to perform defensive missions, advancing expeditionary energy and defence capabilities for future warfighters.

The technology group Rheinmetall has achieved another significant success in the field of ground-based air defence (GbAD) systems. The Romanian government has awarded the company a contract to supply Skyranger 35 air defence systems. Continue reading
Chinese defence supplier Harbin Xinguang Optic-Electronics Technology demo’d two man-portable anti-drone lasers at a Beijing arms expo last week, putting backpack-scale directed-energy hardware alongside the mounted platforms that have so far dominated the space. Continue reading
Ondas Inc. , a provider of autonomous drone and advanced defence technologies, has announced the launch of new autonomous defence systems and integrated systems of systems solutions at Eurosatory 2026 under its “Autonomy at First Contact” vision. Continue reading
