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
Ruselectronics Holding will demonstrate at MAKS-2021 the S-111 communications system from the Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet. The equipment provides secure radio communication and aircraft data exchange with other aircraft as well as with ground, air and surface control points
Russias Zircon (Tsirkon) hypersonic missile is expected to undergo state trials involving its launch from a frigate and a submarine in August 2021. "The first launch from the Admiral Gorshkov frigate within the state trials is planned for the first part of August
Russian aeronautics research institute, SibNIA will present the model of an ultra-short take-off and landing demonstrator aircraft at the MAKS 2021 air show which is being developed in manned and unmanned versions. The short-take off and landing is facilitated by additional propellers on the wing that enable increased lift allowing for a short take-off
Northrop Grumman said it adopted Lean-Agile methodologies in the development and integration of the active electronically scanned array (AESA) AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar software for the F-16 Viper fighter aircraft. The AN/APG-83 features high-resolution synthetic aperture radar mapping to present the pilot with a large surface image for more precise target identification and strike capabilities compared to legacy systems
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

Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems handed over S44, the fourth Type 209/1400mod-class submarine, to the Egyptian Navy. The contract for the delivery of the first two 209/1400 mod class submarines to the Arab Republic of Egypt was signed in 2011
Italy and the United Kingdom signed an agreement Friday to upgrade their Aster surface-to-air missiles. This strategic contract, which follows the Amendment 5 signed by OCCAR-EA in January 2020 on behalf of French armament procurement agency – DGA, will allow the five Services (FR, IT, UK Navy, IT Army and FR Air Force) of the three Programme Participating Nations (IT, UK, FR) to extend the operational availability of their ASTER missiles stockpile
Turkish firms Aselsan and Safine Shipyard started the construction of two new naval drones – an Unmanned Anti-Submarine Warfare boat and an Unmanned Surface Vehicle - on Thursday. Both vessels are capable of reaching speeds of 40 knots and have a range of 600 nautical miles
