Combat unmanned ground vehicles (#UGV’s) are proving invaluable assets, supporting soldiers with enhanced capabilities and safety on the battlefield.  Imagine a scenario where a fleet of agile, intelligent UGVs backs soldiers. These robotic allies can scout ahead, detect threats, and engage hostile targets, all while keeping our troops out of harm's way. From rugged terrain to urban environments, these combat UGVs are adaptable and versatile, enhancing our military's capabilities across diverse operational landscapes.   #THeMIS #milremrobotics #robotics #imugs European Unmanned Ground Systems

🚀💥The United States Department of Defense has selected AeroVironment to provide loitering munition systems for the agency’s Replicator initiative. For the program's first tranche, AeroVironment will supply its proprietary Switchblade 600 man-portable, extended-range loitering munition system, which has also been used by Ukraine against Russian forces. “Switchblade 600 is a battle-proven system in full-rate production that can support the DoD's desire to field thousands of autonomous systems across multiple warfighting domains,” AeroVironment Loitering Munitions SVP Brett Hush remarked. “Our uncrewed systems, autonomy technology and computer vision software can help achieve multi domain operations in a heavily contested battlespace, at very low costs and high levels of resiliency.” #military #army #technology #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #innovation #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #drone #drones #uas #uav #loiteringmunition #pentagon #unmanned #aerovironment

This integrated system combines Elistair’s KHRONOS DroneBox and ARX Robotics’ GEREON RCS Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). It was recently tested during a three-week Experimentation Series conducted by the Army Concepts and Capabilities Development Centre of the Bundeswehr (German Army). 👉 Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/dp3xE--W #Militarydrone #UGV #ISR

The Rafale F5 is a future iteration of the Dassault Rafale, a highly versatile and multi-role fighter aircraft used by the French Air Force and Navy. The F5 version, set for development by 2033, is intended to enhance the aircraft’s capabilities with cutting-edge technologies. It will integrate new avionics, weapons, and possibly even hybrid propulsion, making it more suited to next-generation combat scenarios. Key Features Expected in the Rafale F5: 1. Stealth Capabilities: The Rafale F5 will feature enhanced stealth technology to reduce its radar cross-section, enabling it to perform strike missions in contested environments. 2. Autonomous Operations: The aircraft will likely incorporate AI and autonomous systems to assist pilots in decision-making and combat operations, complementing the upcoming stealth UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) designed to work alongside it. 3. Enhanced Weapon Systems: The Rafale F5 is expected to carry next-gen weapons systems for a broader range of missions, including air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. 4. Collaborative Combat: The Rafale F5 will likely be used in conjunction with other unmanned systems, like the stealth combat drone, to enhance situational awareness and engage in synchronized missions . The Rafale F5, together with other developments like the nEUROn UCAV, is aimed at keeping France’s air superiority into the future, complementing both manned and unmanned systems in complex battlefields. • #RafaleF5 • #NextGenFighterJet • #StealthJet • #AutonomousAircraft • #MultiRoleFighter • #FrenchAirForce • #AirSuperiority • #DassaultAviation • #CombatAviation • #AdvancedAerospace • #UCAV • #AIinAviation

🚀⚡️ Kratos Defense and Security Solutions has showcased the XQ-58A Valkyrie drone’s electronic warfare capabilities for the United States Marine Corps at Eglin Air Force Base. The Valkyrie flew with two F-35 Lightning II combat aircraft and performed an integrated electronic attack. The drone’s EW payload identified, tracked, and geolocated multiple targets, relayed coordinates to collaborative equipment, and successfully delivered non-kinetic effects against the simulated threats without human intervention. “We’re very excited about the mission capability demonstrated during the flight and the incredible effectiveness per cost that this enables; not to mention the elimination of risk to a human pilot, and elimination of risk to expensive manned platforms,” Kratos Unmanned Systems Division President Steve Fendley said. #military #techology #militarytechnology #militarytech #innovation #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #drone #drones #uas #uav #unmanned #electronicwarfare #usmarines #usmc
