Autonomous systems are being developed to support Apache crews with reconnaissance and electronic warfare missions without direct pilot control.
The international venture GCAP will deliver a next-generation stealth combat aircraft, supporting defence industries across the UK, Italy and Japan to address evolving global threats.
Project NYX has advanced into its development stage with BAE, Leonardo and others invited to design AI-powered support drones for Apaches.
The collaboration was launched at the DSEI global defence conference in the UK and will focus on developing modular uncrewed platforms with electronic warfare and attack capabilities.
The UK’s first piloted supersonic demonstrator in four decades is now two-thirds structurally complete with wings and tail fins in build.
The company has partnered with Monolith to optimise AI-powered testing and has completed its first piloted thrustborne manoeuvres, with wingborne tests next on the agenda.
The new joint venture will have operations and joint teams working in each of the partner nations. It will be headquartered in the UK.
The Striker II HMD is said to be one of the world’s most advanced fighter aircraft helmets which uses the latest technologies to integrate its all-digital night vision system and daylight readable colour display.
This collaboration unites HyFlux’s cutting-edge innovations in superconducting motor technology with the world-class research expertise of the Paihau-Robinson Research Institute, led by Professor Rod Badcock.
A new concept model was on display at Farnborough, revealing a much more evolved design with a wingspan larger than previous concepts to improve the aerodynamics of the future combat aircraft.
Last year the companies announced the successful demonstration of T-600 electric uncrewed demonstrator aircraft achieves significant milestone at NATO exercise during a large NATO exercise, known as REPMUS.
The joint GCAP government HQ will be hosted in the UK and the first CEO will come from Japan. In addition, the future business construct will also be headquartered in the UK and the first leader will be from Italy.
The Large Area Display will serve as a pivotal tool for pilots, consolidating critical flight data, sensor inputs and tactical information into a single, easily accessible interface.
Ball Aerospace is a provider of spacecraft, mission payloads, optical systems and antenna systems with decades of proven success, and BAE Systems sees it as a highly complementary fit.
The PHASA-35 programme sits within FalconWorks, a new centre for advanced and agile research and development within BAE Systems' Air sector, working on cutting-edge combat air capabilities.
The ECRS Mk2 will equip pilots with the ability to locate, identify and suppress enemy air defences, a powerful combination of capabilities that will increase the Eurofighter Typhoon's lethality and survivability
The UK Tempest partners, working in close collaboration with the MoD, will now progress the maturity of more than 60 cutting-edge technology demonstrations, digital concepts and new technologies.
The horizontal tail assemblies produced at Magellan's facility in Winnipeg, MB, will be used on the Conventional Takeoff and Landing variant of the F-35. The company hopes eventually to produce more than 1,000 ship sets.
The programme will build on progress already made by BAE Systems, Leonardo UK, MBDA UK, Rolls-Royce and the UK Ministry of Defence as Team Tempest, as well as MHI's proposed future fighter aircraft (F-X).
Engineers at BAE Systems in the north of England are leading the design, test, evaluation and build, bringing together digital engineering technologies such as synthetic modelling and model-based systems engineering.
Tempest will pioneer cutting-edge technologies, including those assisted by AI, machine learning and autonomous systems to meet the challenges of future conflicts, and be operational in the mid-2030s.
BAE Systems has so far delivered 800 state-of-the-art AN/ASQ-239 electronic warfare/countermeasure systems for the F-35 jet, providing it with critical situational awareness and survivability capabilities.
The milestone has been reached eight years after the first delivery, but production is now at full rate and Magellan hopes these are just the first of up to 1,000 ship-sets over the program lifetime.
Design processes that typically take months have been completed in days using BAE Systems' digital twin concept, as the next generation Tempest aircraft takes shape.
The Carrier Variant of the F-35 needs foldable wings in order to fit into the ship's hangars. Avcorp assembles the outboard section, and reckons these are some of the more complex aircraft assemblies made in Canada.
