CACI’s new counter-unmanned aircraft systems technology combines the latest generation of sensors and effectors for a complete range of autonomous threat coverage
BAE Systems’ APKWS rockets were integrated with standard M151 warheads and Mk66 motors with APKWS precision guidance kits and a proximity fuze, enabling them to engage and destroy drones
Designed to detect, contain and destroy incoming threats, Lockheed Martin’s Next Generation Interceptor will serve as the first line of a layered missile defense architecture against evolving threats from rogue nations
The system from Rostec’s Central Scientific – Research Institute for Precision Machine Engineering incorporates attack warning sensors, control and indication equipment, launching devices and obscurant ordnance to protect vehicles
Rheinmetall’s ROSY rapid smoke/obscurant system produces an instantaneous, multispectral interruption of the line of sight to protect vehicles from unexpected attacks when travelling and during offensive/defensive operations
Rafael’s DRONE DOME counter-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems offer a modular, robust infrastructure comprised of electronic jammers, sensors, and artificial intelligence algorithms to secure threatened air space
The OTM V4 Counter-small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) from ELTA North America is a multi-sensor, multi-layered solution designed to operate while the vehicle is in motion for early warning, detection, disruption, and defeat of UAS
Leonardo will supply over 1,200 more pointer/trackers for the Northrop Grumman-led Common Infrared Countermeasures (CIRCM) program to protect aircraft from infrared-guided missiles
During the tests, a Lockheed Martin PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement interceptor successfully intercepted a tactical ballistic missile target, validating missile and launcher software and hardware component upgrades
The sensor payload developed by Northrop Grumman and Ball Aerospace has passed the critical design review of the Next-Gen OPIR GEO mission payload program which will provide a resilient missile warning system to counter threats
Lockheed Martin Australia will participate in the project to provide greater situational awareness and defense against advanced air and missile threats to give the Australia Defense Force increased levels of interoperability with coalition partners
The Sovereign Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Enterprise (GWEOE) aims to enhance Australia’s self-reliance and supply chain resilience, with a longer-term aim of developing a sovereign-guided weapons manufacturing capability
