Israel sets up new department to boost development of AI and autonomy
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
FLIR EOC announced on 24 April the launch of its MLR 4K laser rangefinder, a size, weight and power optimised, military grade ER:Glass solid state laser rangefinder.
According to the company the MLR 4K is the smallest and lightest 4,000m class 1 laser rangefinder available, and is the newest member of FLIR’s popular MLR-K series of multi-kilometer class laser rangefinders.
The MLR-4K can fire continuously at up to 3 ranges per second. The unit measures only 34x54x89 mm, weighs 118g without cover and consumes less than 2W when ranging. These attributes make it 'the ideal solution for handheld systems, weapon platforms and stabilised airborne and maritime turrets'.
FLIR EOC is a major designer and seller of highly-efficient semiconductor lasers, low-noise photodetectors and OEM electro-optical sub-systems for commercial and government applications. In addition to offering custom design services and volume manufacturing, FLIR OEM is a merchant supplier and offers a range of other laser and imaging products.

Clavister CyberArmour, an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used on BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 platform in deployments with a Scandinavian country, as well as in an eastern European nation.
The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
