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.
L3 Technologies has received a contract from an undisclosed customer to provide night vision equipment, the company announced on 20 December.
The $150 million contract covers aiming and illumination devices, image-intensified systems and thermal imaging systems, including binocular night vision goggles, holographic weapon sights, light weapon thermal sights and advanced target pointer illuminator aiming lasers.
The systems will enable dismounted soldiers to locate and target operational threats at night and in adverse weather conditions.
Christopher E Kubasik, president and chief operating officer, L3 Technologies, said: ‘We are focused on building new relationships and these next-generation capabilities ensure that our international allies receive the best technology, equipment and training available.
‘L3 continues to invest in promising new soldier technologies, such as fusion and augmented reality, to meet the needs of our domestic and international customers today and into the future.’

The possible Foreign Military Sale (FMS) from the US will cover the system and any related equipment with Lockheed Martin and RTX as primary contractors.
The new platform was designed to provide 1KW of exportable power as standard and has been developed in partnership with the US Marine Corps (USMC).
Of the six variants in the Ajax programme – reconnaissance (Ajax), reconnaissance support (Ares), C2 (Athena), equipment repair (Apollo), equipment recovery (Atlas) and engineering reconnaissance (Argus) – the Ajax reconnaissance version is now entering service.
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.
