Arquus and Milrem push their UGVs fitted with long-range missiles
Arquus displayed the Drailer uncrewed ground vehicle (UGV) integrating the Akeron LP long-range missile at the Techterre technology demonstrator event ahead of trials in September.
The Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. 3d-Radar business unit has announced that its Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology has been sold to nations in Europe, North America, and South Asia for deployment and use in military threat detection systems around the world. Sales include delivery to the U.S. Army for use in overseas operations. The company's advanced GPR Detection System is currently deployed and is successfully accomplishing its mission to locate buried threats.
"We are proud that our Ground Penetrating Radar technology is helping to mitigate buried threats around the world," said David Adams, co-chief operating officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
3d-Radar's unique GPR technology includes a Radar Control Unit, GeoScopeTM, which enables operators to view pre-processed GPR data within milliseconds of the initial capture, and displays data from all of the GPR system's channels.
Curtiss-Wright Controls develops and manufactures the GPR systems at its Trondheim, Norway facility.

The Czech Republic ordered 52 CAmion Equipé d’un Système d’ARtillerie (CAESAR) self-propelled howitzers (SPHs) in 2021 and added another 10 a year later. A cancellation of the programme would impact both the army’s capabilities and local industry which is involved in the manufacture.
Demand for ammunition continues to increase with manufacturing capability growing to match. Sweden have turned to the two supply lines of Rheinmetall and Nammo as part of a Nordic effort to meet demand. The Polish Government has also announced a US$700 million investment to boost manufacture of munitions.
Several US Army vehicle programmes were axed by US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s plans to transform the US Army, as outlined in the Letter to the Force: Army Transformation Initiative document. However, the new generation Abrams M1E3 main battle tank (MBT) was singled out for survival. But what will it look like?
The order is in addition to two systems ordered in 2023. It forms part of a family of systems which is becoming widely used and part of a growing demand for the capability, both in deliveries and requirements.
Lockheed Martin’s Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) is a next-generation surface-to-surface missile system and is a planned replanned replacement for MGM-140 Army Tactical Missiles System (ATACMS). It is to be fired from M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers.
