The US Department of Defense has completed a series of free flight demonstrations of the Miniature Air Launch Decoy-X (MALD-X) missile.
MALD-X is a new version of the MALD-J missile developed by Raytheon. The collaborative project aims to demonstrate an improved electronic warfare payload, low-altitude flight and a datalink that will allow the weapon to communicate with other net-enabled systems.
The demonstrations were carried out by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering's Strategic Capabilities Office with the US Air Force MALD Program Office and Naval Air Warfare Center Point Mugu on 20 and 22 August.
MALD-X's modularity will allow the navy to rapidly inject adaptive payloads and capabilities into future mission sets.
The MALD-X programme is continuing to pursue multiple enhancements for the vehicle that would provide additional mission sets that will be demonstrated in 2019.
Airbus was awarded the Composante Spatiale Optique (CSO) contract at the end of 2010. This included an option for a third satellite, which was activated after Germany joined the programme in 2015.
In today’s contested operational environment, adaptability is key. The new Geospatial-Intelligence as a Service (GEO IaaS) solution from Fujitsu and MAIAR empowers militaries by enabling intelligence advantage, combining advanced technology with human expertise to deliver actionable insights.
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
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.
