Lockheed Martin completes tactical satellite demonstration and prepares for launch
The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
Southern Research has announced that it has been selected to join the BANC3 team to support the US Army Warrior Enabling Broad Sensor (WEBS) contract. The contract will see Southern Research provide support for mission research, development, and administration.
Prime contractor BANC3 was recently awarded a $1.78 billion contract by the US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Centre (CERDEC) Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate (NVESD) to provide engineering support and technology assistance under the WEBS support contract.
Southern Research will support rapid response requests for numerous potential technologies and specific programmes, such as spiral developmental improvements, which have extremely specific requirements and require a high level of expertise.
The Southern Research Engineering Division conducts research and development in the areas of thermal and structural behaviours of advanced composite materials, advanced material processing techniques, electro-mechanical systems and integration, aerospace engineering, and computational sciences.

The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
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.
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.
