Lockheed, PGZ team for Homar programme
The Polish Armament Group (PGZ) will base its negotiations for Poland’s Homar programme on Lockheed Martin’s High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). Lockheed Martin announced its selection by PGZ on 7 July.
The companies will partner to develop in-country defence technology modernisation via transfer of technology, in-country production/manufacturing and future modernisation.
HIMARS is designed to enable troops to engage and defeat artillery, air defence concentrations, trucks, light armour and personnel carriers. The system can deliver accurate, lethal, quick-strike munitions ranging from 15 to 300km and then move away from the area at high speed following missile launch, well before enemy forces are able to locate the launch site.

Air defence at scale: Europe’s challenge of cost, integration and sustainability
The evolution of aerial threats is driving renewed investment in ground-based air defence across Europe. Yet beyond capability, a more pressing challenge is emerging: how to sustain air defence at scale, as rising costs, limited stockpiles and industrial production constraints place increasing pressure on existing structures.

The science of soldier safety: How Team Wendy Is reinventing the modern military helmet
When soldiers head into the field, the helmet on their head can mean the difference between life and death. But while helmets may look simple from the outside, the technology inside them is anything but. Few companies illustrate this better than Team Wendy, whose newest bump helmet — the RECON™ Tactical — shows just how far modern head protection has come.
