US Army to launch hunt for new artillery
The search will look at existing artillery with an acknowledgement that a large part of the effect from the weapons comes from the munitions used.
MilDef will provide tactical IT equipment, such as computers, monitors, network infrastructure and software, to an unnamed European NATO country under a SEK30 million (US$2.75 million) contract announced on 8 November.
The deal will include MilDef's deployment software OneCIS, which will be used on both static and deployable infrastructure. OneCis was one of three new products unveiled by MilDef earlier in the year.

OneCIS battle station was launched at DSEI
