US Space Force increases efforts to plug training capabilities gaps
The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
BAE Systems has entered a contract that will see it deliver and install Denmark-specific battle management radio systems in Denmark's CV9035 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs), it announced on 24 October.
The contract with the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) covers the fleet of 44 CV9035 tracked combat IFVs designed and built by BAE Systems Hägglunds. It includes industrial cooperation between the company and Danish industrial partners.
Peter Nygren, director of business development at BAE Systems Hägglunds, said: 'CV90 is a well demonstrated solution, combat proven by the Danish Army in Afghanistan. As a member of NATO, Denmark needs to have the CV90s in top condition.
'The CV90’s open electronic architecture allows for the integration of any country’s chosen system and regular updates of all key electronic systems. BAE Systems can tailor the fit of C4ISR systems for each customer and vehicle variant.'
The CV90s provides air defence, anti-tank capability, and high mobility in tactical environments.

The service has been conducting several acquisition and upgrading efforts involving artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve communication, data analysis and ISR systems.
The Syracuse 4B communications satellite, developed by Airbus and Thales Alenia Space, was launched last year, bolstering secure military satellite communications for the French Armed Forces. Thales has now been selected to provide terminals for vehicles.
The growing importance of space in modern warfare, advancements in satellite technology, and increasing threats from rivals like China and Russia were among the topics of a Eurosatory 2024 panel on military space operations.
AN/ARC-232A is a Starfire radio that provides VHF/UHF communications to airborne platforms and the transceiver is software-programmable, allowing for multiple waveform support as well as optional national electronic counter counter-measure (ECCM) capability.
During the 18-month period of the contract, Lockheed Martin will apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to create surrogate models of aircraft, sensors, electronic warfare and weapons within dynamic and operationally representative environments.
