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.
Raytheon, DRS partner for US Army IFLIR B-Kit
Raytheon and DRS Technology have partnered for the US Army’s third generation Improved Forward Looking Infrared (IFLIR) programme B-Kit, as announced by Raytheon on 1 April.
This teaming agreement follows the two companies’ previous effort on the second generation FLIR programme, for which close to 20,000 sensors were fielded to the US Marine Corps and the army and navy in the last ten years.
Michelle Lohmeier, vice president of land warfare systems, Raytheon, said: ‘With this effort, Raytheon and DRS will leverage our Horizontal Technology Integration experience and third generation focal plane array technology.
‘We offer a low-risk schedule and programme plan to field this technology into land combat platforms.’
Sally Wallace, C4ISR group president, DRS, said: ‘The Army and our team have a strong track record of delivering state-of-the-art next generation FLIR technology on our nation's premiere ground vehicle combat platforms.’
‘Our experience integrating a common FLIR across the army's combat vehicle platforms is critical to synchronising the army's modernisation strategy.’
