Anduril Industries unveils improved electromagnetic warfare system
Pulsar-L has already entered service and weighs about 12kg with range of 5km. It was only in May last year that the company disclosed that earlier versions were already in service.
Harris Corporation has introduced a new F5032 lightweight night vision binocular, aimed to reduce eye fatigue while increasing night and low-light visibility, the company announced on 26 October.
The F5032 has a 25cm, close-range focus capability for near-sight functions. It has adjustable and fixed dioptre lenses that remove the need for a user to change static lenses for mission-specific or personal requirements. It also allows the lenses to be adjusted during long missions to reduce eye fatigue.
The binocular also has an integrated infrared illuminator that eliminates the need for the warfighter to carry a separate illuminator. It has image intensifiers to operate in no-light and low-light combat scenarios.
Erik Fox, vice president and general manager, Harris night vision business, said: 'This new Harris lightweight binocular delivers much more capability than any other fielded models. We're excited to make these available at a time when reduced size, weight and power and ease of use are major concerns for warfighters in a complex tactical environment.'

The BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 IFV has been around for decades but continual refreshing to maintain power and relevance, along with a healthy market at home in Sweden and neighbouring countries, has led to more than 1,700 vehicle orders with 10 countries.
The order further extends the Oshkosh Defense production line as AM General, selected for US orders, pushes to get vehicles out the door with no room for export orders.
