SAHA 2026: MKE sets its sights on the Turkish Army’s self-propelled guns
With multiple artillery platforms on display at SAHA 2026, Turkey’s defence contractors are positioning to replace the country’s older imported platforms.
L3 receives night vision equipment order
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.’
