BAE Systems gets go-ahead for second phase of mission communications programme
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
FLIR EOC announced on 24 April the launch of its MLR 4K laser rangefinder, a size, weight and power optimised, military grade ER:Glass solid state laser rangefinder.
According to the company the MLR 4K is the smallest and lightest 4,000m class 1 laser rangefinder available, and is the newest member of FLIR’s popular MLR-K series of multi-kilometer class laser rangefinders.
The MLR-4K can fire continuously at up to 3 ranges per second. The unit measures only 34x54x89 mm, weighs 118g without cover and consumes less than 2W when ranging. These attributes make it 'the ideal solution for handheld systems, weapon platforms and stabilised airborne and maritime turrets'.
FLIR EOC is a major designer and seller of highly-efficient semiconductor lasers, low-noise photodetectors and OEM electro-optical sub-systems for commercial and government applications. In addition to offering custom design services and volume manufacturing, FLIR OEM is a merchant supplier and offers a range of other laser and imaging products.

Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
The digital twin system has been designed to evaluate the introduction of new systems onto platforms but could also be used to support procurement, training and battle planning in the future.
