A French Director General Armaments (DGA)-supported start-up, Hybrid Propulsion For Space (HyPr Space) has developed an innovative solution making it possible to visually simulate the launch of an enemy surface-to-air missile by generating smoke of the precise amount as seen during an actual launch. Operational missions at low and medium altitude in hostile territory now expose air forces to a more dangerous ground-to-air threat
MBDA said today it won a contract by Frances Direction Générale de lArmement (DGA) and the UKs Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) to lead the new Complex Weapons Innovation Technology Partnership (CW ITP). Dstl signed the contract on behalf of the two nations
CAE said it will be investing C$1 billion over the next five years on Project Resilience that aims to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-based aviation technologies. It will also provide operational support and training solutions for Advanced Air Mobility, as well as develop green light aircraft technologies
The EU Commission today selected a consortium led by Naval Group Belgium for its Mine Risk Clearance for Europe (MIRICLE) project. The project win was awarded by the company on Twitter Wednesday
A European project to develop unmanned semi-fixed sea platforms for maritime surveillance (USSPS) will be led by Greek company ETME while Naval Group has been selected as a technical coordinator. The USSPS project will develop the backbone of an advance (C5ISTAR) federated system of systems
The Pentagon says the two nanosatellites or “CubeSats” that was launched by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on June 30 into low-earth orbit (LEO) could play a large role in tracking and destroying the enemys hypersonic and ballistic missiles. The announcement comes as Russia inches closer to induct its powerful S-500 system, that it claims can destroy ICBMs, hypersonic missiles and LEO satellites
Frances Thales successfully completed the first flight of a half-scale prototype of its UAS 100 long-range unmanned air system on June 22. Developed in partnership with Issoire Aviation and Hionos, and with the support of the French Ministry of the Armed Forces via the Defense Innovation Agency (AID), UAS100 will help meet demand for more cost-effective drone missions with a lower environmental impact
GE Aviation and Safran launched CFM RISE (Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines) program that aims to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by more than 20% compared to today's engines. The program will demonstrate and mature a range of new, disruptive technologies for future engines that could enter service by the mid-2030s
Frances Naval Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Singapores Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) to jointly explore new technologies such as additive manufacturing for naval applications. Under the agreement, the organisations will jointly identify potential use cases of harnessing additive manufacturing
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Tomer, a government-owned company producing rocket propulsion systems, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop projects in rocket propulsion and innovative missiles rocket engines. The MoU includes investment in joint projects, mutual R&D and establishing infrastructure for the companies' respective R&D departments for the benefit of developing future, advanced technologies in the field of rocket propulsion and innovative rocket motors, at a higher quality and faster than in the past
