WASHINGTON, — The U.S. Air Force is seeking defence contractors to mass-produce its Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) cruise missiles and a new unpowered variant, ERAM Glide, primarily for Ukraine. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's Armament Directorate issued two Requests for Information (RFIs) through SAM.gov on November 2-3. It wants manufacturers capable of producing more than 1,000 ERAM missiles, with initial deliveries starting within three months of a contract award and full production completed within 15 months. Responses for the powered missile are due November 19. ERAM Cruise Missile Specifications The powered ERAM is a 500-pound (227 kg) air-launched cruise missile designed to strike high-value fixed targets from a distance. Its requirements include: Range: More than 250 nautical miles (463 km). Speed: Above Mach 0.6. Accuracy: Within 10 metres, including under GPS jamming. Warhead: Blast, fragmentation and limited penetration effects. Fuzes: Variable fuze options. ERAM Glide Specifications The second RFI covers ERAM Glide, an unpowered 500-pound-class air-launched weapon carrying a 105-pound (48 kg) explosive warhead. It must deliver blast, fragmentation and limited penetration effects. Its lift-to-drag ratio must reach at least 10:1, with more than 15:1 preferred. The weapon must also maintain accuracy within 10 metres under normal and high-electromagnetic-interference conditions. Its navigation system is expected to use M-Code GPS and a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA). The Air Force wants the selected technology to reach Technology Readiness Level 7 within 14 months of a potential contract award. Responses are due December 2. Development and Ukraine Procurement The ERAM programme began in 2024, when the Air Force invited companies to propose affordable, long-range weapons. Prototype development contracts later went to Zone 5 Technologies and CoAspire. Their designs include Zone 5's Rusty Dagger and CoAspire's Rapidly Adaptable Affordable Cruise Missile (RAACM). An ERAM design underwent a live-warhead test at Eglin Air Force Base in January 2026. In August 2025, the U.S. approved a possible $825 million Foreign Military Sale covering up to 3,350 ERAM missiles and related equipment for Ukraine. Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway have contributed funding. Ukrainian media reported possible combat use of the Rusty Dagger against a semiconductor plant in Russia's Voronezh region in June 2026, although official confirmation remains limited. The latest requests aim to expand manufacturing capacity and provide Ukraine with affordable standoff weapons. The missiles may also support future U.S. and NATO inventories. However, no new production contracts have been announced. The Air Force will use industry responses to identify manufacturers and prepare possible procurement agreements.

NUUK, — Greenland’s parliament has approved a new security agreement with the United States and Denmark, allowing an expanded American military presence on the strategically important Arctic island. The Inatsisartut approved the agreement on Tuesday in a 16-0 vote, with seven lawmakers abstaining. The decision clears the way for the agreement to move to Denmark’s parliament for approval, with the first reading scheduled for November 12 and a final vote planned for November 19. Signed in New York on September 22, 2026, by U.S. President Donald Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, the agreement updates the 1951 U.S.-Denmark defense pact. Under the deal, the United States will be allowed to establish two additional defense areas at Narsarsuaq in southern Greenland and Mestersvig on the eastern coast. It also permits the modernization and expansion of operations at the existing Pituffik Space Base in northwestern Greenland. The agreement also provides for potential U.S. military access to support elements of Trump's proposed Golden Dome missile defense system. The pact gives U.S. aircraft and vessels broad military access across Greenland and its territorial waters. It also introduces restrictions on investments by countries outside NATO and the EU in sensitive sectors, including critical infrastructure and resource extraction, where they could create national security risks. The agreement reaffirms Danish sovereignty over Greenland and recognizes the Greenlandic people's right to self-determination under international law. It also states that the agreement has no fixed end date and would continue to apply if Greenland eventually becomes independent, subject to the agreed conditions. To ensure local economic benefits, the agreement calls for U.S. military construction and service contracts to use Greenlandic suppliers as much as possible. It also includes provisions for environmental protection and cooperation between the three parties. Opposition Raises Economic Concerns Greenland's opposition party Naleraq questioned the economic benefits of the agreement and called for stronger financial guarantees and a public referendum. The debate also involved concerns about Greenland's control over its future and the extent of U.S. influence. Foreign Minister Múte B. Egede described ratification as an important step, saying that peace and stability could no longer be taken for granted. Prime Minister Nielsen also stressed that Greenlanders must retain the right to decide their island's future. The agreement follows months of diplomatic tensions after Trump repeatedly raised the possibility of bringing Greenland under U.S. control, citing American security interests in the Arctic. Once Denmark completes its parliamentary approval process, it will formally notify Washington through diplomatic channels. The agreement will then enter into force. U.S. congressional approval is not required.

MOSCOW, — Chinese company Jiangxi Guangbo Optoelectronic Technology is marketing ultra-long fiber-optic cable reels of up to 100 kilometres to Russian customers, offering equipment that could extend the operating range of drones resistant to electronic warfare. According to an investigation by The Insider, reported by Militarnyi, the company offers reels measuring 70, 80 and 100 kilometres, priced at 300 Chinese yuan per kilometre. A 100-kilometre reel costs approximately 30,000 yuan ($4,515). The company presented its products at Russia's Fleet 2026 naval exhibition in Kronstadt. Along with ready-made cable reels, it offers industrial machines for winding fiber-optic cables onto drone spools. It also has a presence in St. Petersburg and promotes its products through a Russian-language Telegram channel. How Fiber-Optic Drones Work Unlike conventional radio-controlled drones, fiber-optic drones use physical cables to transmit control signals and video during flight. This makes them highly resistant to electronic warfare because their communication links do not depend on radio signals that can be jammed. Longer cables could extend drone operating ranges. However, larger reels increase aircraft weight, potentially reducing speed, maneuverability and payload capacity. Russian Production Disruptions Increase Reliance on China China supplied more than 500,000 kilometres of fiber-optic cable to Russia in August 2025, according to Chinese customs data cited in reports by Militarnyi. Russia's domestic production has faced major difficulties. Its main fiber-optic manufacturing facility, Optic Fiber Systems in Saransk, was hit by Ukrainian drone attacks in April and May 2025, disrupting production. The shutdown forced Russian authorities to postpone mandatory domestic sourcing requirements for fiber-optic cables by at least two years. A documented transaction also shows that Moscow-based Smart Opt Trading LLC received a declaration of conformity on June 26, 2026, for customs clearance of a 30-kilometre fiber-optic reel manufactured by Jiangxi Guangbo. Beyond fiber-optic equipment, the Chinese company also promotes AI-assisted interceptor drones, including its HJ-7 model, and offers cooperation with Russian partners on technologies for specific applications, including underwater systems and torpedo weapons. The developments highlight Russia's reliance on Chinese suppliers for specialized drone components as domestic manufacturing faces production challenges. Beijing has publicly maintained a position of neutrality in the conflict while maintaining export restrictions on certain drones and military-use equipment.

PARIS, — France's Naval Group has presented an expanded version of its Defence and Intervention Frigate (FDI), known as the FDI XL, at Euronaval 2026 in Paris. The concept features a longer hull, increased weapons capacity and modular launching systems for deploying loitering munitions and unmanned aerial systems. The FDI XL adds an approximately 10-metre midships section, increasing displacement from 4,500 tonnes to around 5,300 tonnes. Despite the additional length and weight, the frigate is designed to retain the baseline FDI's top speed. The extended hull provides additional space for weapons and mission systems. One proposed configuration includes 16 Exocet MM40 Block 3C anti-ship missiles and additional vertical launch cells. The design also supports new-generation SYLVER launchers and the Rampart multipurpose launching system. Modular Loitering Munition Launch System A key feature of the FDI XL presentation is its modular loitering-munition launching system. Naval Group's exhibition video shows two large container-like launcher modules installed on the frigate's deck. The footage also shows an unmanned aerial weapon being launched from the system. The modular arrangement is intended to increase the frigate's ability to deploy loitering munitions, interceptor drones and other unmanned weapons. The proposed 336-cell configuration would provide substantial launch capacity if confirmed by Naval Group. These drone-launching modules are separate from the frigate's conventional missile vertical launch system, allowing the ship to combine traditional naval weapons with unmanned strike capabilities. Advanced Sensors and Unmanned Systems The FDI XL retains the baseline frigate's inverted bow and Thales Sea Fire fixed-panel AESA radar. It combines anti-air, anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare capabilities while addressing asymmetric threats. Naval Group is emphasising an open-architecture design that allows navies to integrate future weapons and technologies. The frigate can operate with unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), aerial drones and mission-specific containers carrying loitering munitions, interceptor drones and other systems. The standard FDI is a 122-metre, 4,500-tonne frigate already in serial production for France, Greece and Sweden. Its modular architecture allows different configurations according to individual navy requirements. The platform also uses technologies already in French Navy service and is interoperable with NATO forces. The FDI XL is presented as an evolutionary option within the existing FDI family. Naval Group's focus at Euronaval 2026 is on adaptable warships designed for high-intensity and hybrid naval operations, combining conventional weapons with modular drone-launching systems and future autonomous technologies.

HAWTHORNE, California, — ThinKom Solutions and Systems Delta 88 (SYD 88) of the U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC) have successfully demonstrated the Ground Entry Combined K/Ka-band Operation (GECKO) satellite communications system. The live demonstration took place at ThinKom’s facilities in Hawthorne, California. The system is designed as a rapidly deployable, multi-orbit SATCOM ground station housed inside a standard 20-foot ISO shipping container. It can provide satellite connectivity in locations where traditional communications infrastructure is unavailable, while maintaining a low visual profile. GECKO uses ThinKom’s Variable Inclination Continuous Transverse Stub (VICTS) phased-array technology and an advanced digital Beam Forming Device (BFD). Unlike traditional large parabolic satellite dishes, its low-profile design allows the equipment to be transported and deployed more easily. During the demonstration, the system used three K-band receive arrays (17.7–21.2 GHz) and one Ka-band transmit array (27.5–31.0 GHz). The BFD combined signals from the three receive antennas, increasing the signal-to-noise ratio to 2.5 times that of a single array. The system then used the same antennas to operate three independent beams simultaneously. One tracked a Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite, while the other two maintained connections with separate Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites. The test demonstrated phase-continuous operations across different satellite constellations. This allows GECKO to support a more resilient communications network without depending on a single satellite link. Its modular architecture also allows mission requirements to be distributed across multiple systems, while geographic site diversity can help reduce the effects of localized atmospheric interference. Part of U.S. Space Force's GoBaG Initiative The GECKO project is part of the Global Backup Gateway (GoBaG) initiative, a priority communications programme funded by the U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command. Its development was supported through a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project in partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and SpaceWERX, with oversight from SYD 88. ThinKom CTO and co-founder Bill Milroy said the project aims to provide secure and reliable communications that can be deployed quickly and remain concealed in dangerous and contested environments. SYD 88 was established in September 2025 as an acquisition-focused unit within SSC. It works on delivering integrated tactical, strategic and narrowband satellite communications capabilities. ThinKom has also developed VICTS-based phased-array technology for commercial aviation and military communications. In May 2026, the company was selected as the overall winner of SSC's Fight Tonight competition for its related Containerized Digital Array system, designed to support multi-orbit and multi-band satellite communications. The latest GECKO demonstration adds a live test of containerized, multi-beam satellite connectivity, supporting the U.S. Space Force's efforts to develop more flexible and resilient ground-based communications infrastructure.

NEWTON, Kansas, — U.S. defense technology company Shield AI has unveiled its first full-scale X-BAT 001 prototype, a jet-powered autonomous combat aircraft designed for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). The company released its images and video on November 3, marking a major step towards flight testing. X-BAT 001 is the first of two planned prototypes. Built at Shield AI's facility in Frisco, Texas, the aircraft is now being moved to the company's X-Forge 2 flight test facility at Newton City-County Airport, Kansas. It uses a tailless, tail-sitter design, allowing it to take off and land vertically on its tail without conventional runways. Design and Engine The prototype retains the design shown at the Sea-Air-Space exhibition in April 2026, but features some changes. Its thrust-vectoring exhaust nozzle now extends beyond the wing's trailing edge. Two raised structures with air intakes and additional circular, mesh-covered openings are also visible on the upper fuselage. Their exact functions remain unconfirmed. The aircraft is powered by a GE Aerospace F110-GE-129E turbofan engine, integrated with the Axisymmetric Vectoring Exhaust Nozzle (AVEN). Shield AI and GE Aerospace completed initial integration and ground tests in July 2026. The nozzle controls pitch and yaw, while separate wing-mounted bleed-air thrusters control roll. Range, Weapons and Autonomy According to manufacturer targets, X-BAT will have a 39-foot wingspan, a range exceeding 2,000 nautical miles (3,700 km) and a service ceiling above 50,000 feet (15 km). It is designed to withstand manoeuvring loads exceeding 4g. Its internal weapons bays will accommodate air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, including weapons in the 2,000-pound class. External hardpoints will support additional strike weapons and electronic warfare equipment. The aircraft will operate using Shield AI's Hivemind autonomy software, designed to execute missions without GPS, active communications or continuous remote human input. X-BAT can operate from ships, mobile ground platforms and remote locations without conventional runways. Shield AI says three aircraft can fit within the deck space occupied by one traditional fighter. A skull insignia on the prototype's left wing represents all four branches of the U.S. military. $400 Million Programme and Production Timeline Development is supported by the U.S. Navy's Runway Independent Maritime Expeditionary Strike (RIMES) programme, which focuses on long-range strike aircraft that do not depend on conventional airfields. Combined government and private funding has reached $400 million, including earlier Navy and Defense Innovation Unit support and a subsequent Navy funding modification, matched by Shield AI. In October 2026, Shield AI signed an agreement with Greece's GEK TERNA to establish industrial facilities for parts production, aircraft integration, maintenance and training. The initiative aims to make Greece a regional support hub for X-BAT across Southeastern Europe. Flight testing is planned before the end of 2026, followed by a mission-capable version targeted for 2028. Serial production is expected to begin in 2029 at Des Moines, Washington. Newton, Kansas, will serve as the primary flight-testing and sustainment centre. Shield AI has clarified that X-BAT 001 remains an experimental aircraft, and its design will continue to evolve during testing.

KEŞAN, — Turkish defense manufacturer Baykar has successfully tested a new capability for its Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), using it to carry and launch FPV kamikaze drones in flight. The test took place on November 4 at the Keşan Flight Training and Test Center in Türkiye. The TB2 took off carrying 16 Skydagger FPV drones, mounted on specially developed racks, with eight under each wing. During the test, two drones were released and successfully struck their designated ground targets. The released drones were controlled by independent ground operators through a communications link established via the Bayraktar TB2. This allows the larger UAV to act as both an airborne carrier and a communications relay for smaller drones. Baykar Chairman Selçuk Bayraktar shared footage showing the aircraft carrying the drones and their successful target strikes. Extending FPV Drone Operating Range Conventional FPV drones generally depend on direct communications with ground operators, which limits their operating range. Using the TB2 as an airborne relay can help overcome ground obstacles and extend communication coverage, allowing operators to control drones at greater distances. The new arrangement introduces a mothership concept for the TB2, allowing it to carry and deploy multiple smaller attack drones alongside its existing MAM-L and MAM-C laser-guided smart munitions. The test demonstrated the aircraft's ability to carry 16 FPV drones, release them in flight and provide a communications link for their operators. However, Baykar has not disclosed a maximum operating range for the new configuration. The FPV drones used in the demonstration were developed by Turkish manufacturer Skydagger. The integration could expand the TB2's mission capabilities by adding smaller, remotely operated attack drones to its existing weapons options. Baykar has also identified its wider UAV fleet, including Akıncı, Kızılelma and TB3, as potential platforms for future integration.

WASHINGTON, — Rocket Lab’s proposed $8 billion acquisition of Iridium Communications is awaiting regulatory approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), following concerns raised by competitors including SpaceX, Globalstar and Ligado Networks. Announced in June 2026, the deal will combine Rocket Lab’s satellite manufacturing and launch capabilities with Iridium’s established global communications network. Under the agreement, Iridium shareholders will receive $27 in cash plus Rocket Lab shares, with a notional value of $54 per share. Iridium operates a 66-satellite low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation, holds global L-band spectrum rights and serves more than 2.5 million subscribers across government, defense, aviation, maritime and commercial markets. The company generated $871.7 million in revenue during 2025. The acquisition would give Rocket Lab control of Iridium's satellite network and recurring communications business. Both companies expect vertical integration to reduce launch and network upgrade costs, improve competition and accelerate new services. Their planned next-generation Iridium constellation is expected to feature approximately 20 times more communications beams per satellite. Competitors Raise Concerns Although the deal cleared the U.S. antitrust review in August 2026, FCC authorization remains pending. SpaceX has asked the FCC to examine longstanding disputes involving potential interference between Iridium operations and Starlink gateway stations. Ligado Networks has also raised concerns about Iridium's regulatory activities and their impact on competition. Neither company has formally opposed the acquisition. Globalstar has focused on Rocket Lab's existing supplier relationship with the company. Rocket Lab manufactures satellite platforms for Globalstar through an MDA Space subcontract valued at approximately $143 million for 17 platforms. The first eight satellites reached orbit in August 2026. Globalstar argues that Rocket Lab's acquisition of Iridium, a direct competitor in mobile satellite services, could create conflicts of interest. It is concerned about possible access to sensitive technical information and preferential treatment in engineering, performance, operations and delivery schedules. Globalstar has requested closer FCC scrutiny but has not opposed the merger. Rocket Lab Defends the Deal Rocket Lab and Iridium argue that the concerns raised by SpaceX and Ligado existed before the acquisition agreement and should be addressed through separate regulatory proceedings. They also say competitors have not demonstrated any merger-specific harm. The companies maintain that combining manufacturing, launch services and satellite operations will strengthen competition. They also point out that Rocket Lab currently holds no mobile satellite service spectrum and has no near-term independent entry into that market. Iridium shareholders approved the acquisition on September 24, 2026, with 99.6% of votes cast supporting the deal. The vote represented approximately 81% of outstanding shares entitled to vote. The FCC accepted the transfer applications on September 15 under GN Docket No. 26-257. Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck also met FCC Chairman Brendan Carr in October to discuss the transaction. The next FCC filing deadline for replies and oppositions is November 9, 2026. Both companies are targeting mid-2027 to complete the acquisition, subject to final regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.

OSLO, — Norway has deployed NASAMS air defense sensors in Kirkenes, near its 198-kilometre (123-mile) border with Russia, to detect drones that may accidentally enter Norwegian airspace. The Norwegian Ministry of Defence announced the deployment on November 3 as a preventive measure, not a response to any specific threat. More than 30 additional soldiers will reinforce the Garrison of Sør-Varanger, joining the Jaeger Battalion to operate the equipment until the end of 2026. The sensors are part of the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS), developed by Norway's Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and the U.S. company Raytheon. They will help detect drones, provide early warnings and improve surveillance over Finnmark, Norway's northernmost county. The ministry has not disclosed the number of sensors deployed or confirmed whether missile launchers and interceptor missiles will also be moved to Kirkenes. Reports indicate the deployed equipment may include Kongsberg-produced electro-optical sensors. Defence Minister Tore O. Sandvik said drone incidents in other countries and lessons from the Ukraine war have highlighted the importance of early warning. He stressed that Norway currently sees no elevated air threat to the country or Finnmark's population. The Norwegian military will coordinate with local police and civil defence agencies to monitor airspace and enforce restrictions when necessary. Police retain primary responsibility for preventing illegal civilian drone flights. A joint exercise, including a test emergency alert for residents, is also planned once the monitoring system becomes operational. Drone Incidents Across Europe The deployment follows repeated drone incursions across Europe's northern and eastern regions. Between late March and May, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania reported more than a dozen incidents. Finland temporarily closed Helsinki Airport on May 15 and advised around 1.8 million residents to stay indoors. On May 19, a Romanian fighter jet shot down a suspected Ukrainian drone over Estonia. In October, Moldova reported 19 drone incursions, while a Russian drone briefly entered Latvian airspace on November 1 before leaving 17 minutes later. Electronic warfare and GPS interference can divert drones from their intended routes. Norwegian authorities have also considered the possibility that Russian GPS interference could push a Ukrainian drone towards Norway, although they assess the risk as very low. Norway is also expanding its NASAMS inventory, ordering additional systems to replace equipment previously donated to Ukraine. The new deployment aims to improve airspace monitoring and military preparedness near the Russian border without changing Norway's assessment of the current threat level.

India
New Delhi, — The Union Cabinet has approved major changes to the Agnipath recruitment scheme, giving Agniveers who were previously expected to leave after four years an opportunity to continue serving in the Indian Armed Forces for an additional two years. Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General N.S. Raja Subramani announced the decision following the Cabinet meeting. Under the revised arrangement, Agniveers will have another opportunity to join the regular forces after completing six years of service, subject to their willingness and selection criteria. Revised Agnipath Service Structure Under the original Agnipath scheme, introduced on June 14, 2022, Agniveers were recruited for four years. After completing their tenure, 25 per cent were eligible for enrolment into the regular forces based on merit, while the remaining 75 per cent were expected to return to civilian life. The revised framework introduces a second engagement period: First 25 per cent: Will continue to be enrolled into the regular forces after four years based on merit. Remaining 75 per cent: Will be offered an additional two-year service period. After six years: Agniveers who are willing to continue will be offered enrolment into the Armed Forces, subject to objective selection criteria. General Subramani said the Cabinet had created a pathway for all willing Agniveers to join the regular Armed Forces. However, permanent enrolment will not be automatic and will depend on the prescribed selection standards. Higher Salary and Enhanced Seva Nidhi The additional two-year engagement will also include improved financial benefits. During the fifth year, Agniveers will receive approximately Rs 43,500 per month, increasing to around Rs 47,500 per month in the sixth year. Those who complete the extended engagement but choose not to continue will receive an enhanced Seva Nidhi package, linked to their additional service period. The revised arrangement also provides seniority-related benefits. First Batch to Benefit From the Changes The decision comes as the first batch of approximately 18,000 to 18,300 Agniveers approaches the completion of its four-year service period in December 2026. These personnel were previously scheduled to leave the Armed Forces after completing their initial engagement, except those selected for regular enrolment. The revised arrangement gives the remaining personnel an opportunity to extend their service and compete for regular enrolment after six years. Decision Follows Performance Review General Subramani said the performance feedback received from the three services over the initial four years had been positive. The assessment covered areas including skills, motivation, physical fitness, technological adaptability and discipline. The revised arrangement follows recommendations from the three services after a review of the scheme, aimed at balancing the career aspirations of Agniveers with the operational and organisational requirements of the Armed Forces. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh described the additional two-year engagement as a Second Tour of Duty. The original Agnipath scheme will continue, with the new arrangement providing an additional service and regular-enrolment opportunity for Agniveers who are not selected during the initial four-year period.

STOCKHOLM / PARIS — Saab has unveiled the next generation of its 9LV naval combat system, featuring a data-centric architecture designed to improve naval operations while protecting a ship’s core fighting systems. The system was introduced on 3 November 2026, as the Euronaval exhibition opened in Paris. The new suite includes the 9LV Combat System, Combat Management System (CMS) and Fire Control System (FCS) with Ceros. It integrates sensors, weapons and command-and-control functions to provide crews with a unified operational picture and support faster decisions. New Architecture and Cybersecurity The upgraded 9LV separates mission-critical combat functions from flexible, cloud-native applications. This allows navies to introduce software upgrades and new capabilities without affecting the ship’s core offensive and defensive systems. Its standardised information model and zero-trust cybersecurity support secure, rapid tactical data exchange, including continuous sensor video. The architecture is designed to remain resilient under cyber attack while allowing new technologies to be integrated throughout a ship’s service life. “By allowing naval forces to adapt to evolving threats while protecting the integrity of core combat functions, 9LV stays adaptable and therefore relevant against emerging threats over the ship’s operational life,” said Michael Skarped, head of Saab’s Naval Combat Systems business unit. Fire Control and NATO Interoperability The 9LV Fire Control System uses Saab’s CEROS 200 and EOS 500 directors, providing accurate 3D tracking and target designation reaction times of less than a second. This helps shorten the sensor-to-shooter cycle. The system supports missions ranging from naval gunfire support to air defence against sea-skimming missiles. It is also aligned with NATO interoperability objectives, enabling tactical data exchange across naval, air, land and joint forces. This allows allied commanders to share information and coordinate operations across multiple domains. Designed for Crewed and Uncrewed Fleets The scalable 9LV architecture can be installed on vessels ranging from 20-tonne patrol boats to 27,000-tonne multi-mission destroyers. It is designed to support future hybrid fleets combining crewed ships with uncrewed maritime systems. New platforms and sensors can be integrated into the existing framework without being restricted by legacy software architectures. Saab’s 9LV product family is already operational on more than 250 ships across over 20 navies worldwide. The next-generation system aims to improve situational awareness, strengthen ship self-protection and support operations with allied forces. The system is on display at Saab’s stand at Euronaval 2026, which runs from 3 to 6 November in Paris.

PARIS, — BAE Systems has unveiled a new family of modular 40mm naval gun systems at Euronaval 2026 in Paris. The systems are based on the combat-proven Bofors 40mm cannon and its programmable 3P ammunition, offering different levels of protection against air, surface and shore-based threats. The new family includes Sea Tridon, Sea Tridon C, Sea Trinity and the Bofors 40 Mk4 Naval Gun. The modular approach allows navies to select sensor integration, fire-control capabilities and deployment options while maintaining common training, logistics and support. Lena Gillström, President of BAE Systems Bofors, said the rapidly changing maritime threat environment requires flexible protection solutions. The new systems are designed to address threats such as drones, loitering munitions, uncrewed surface vessels and anti-ship missiles. Four Naval Gun Configurations Sea Tridon: Combines the Bofors 40mm gun with an integrated electro-optical fire-control system. It can operate independently of a ship’s combat management system, making it suitable for vessels with limited combat-system integration. It has a rate of fire of 300 rounds per minute, a maximum range of 12,500 metres and a muzzle velocity of 1,012 m/s with 3P ammunition. The gun is gyro-stabilised, with elevation limits of –20° to +80° and unlimited training through a slip ring. Its primary magazine holds at least 30 rounds, with options for below-deck loading or a secondary magazine. Barrel life is rated at 5,000 rounds. Sea Tridon C: A containerised version of Sea Tridon designed for rapid deployment on military, government or commercial vessels. It uses a standard ISO container footprint and can include its own power and climate-control equipment. The configuration is intended for temporary, mission-specific protection, including commercial shipping operating in higher-threat areas. Sea Trinity: The most advanced configuration, combining the 40mm gun, 3P ammunition and an integrated radar fire-control system into a complete close-in weapon system (CIWS). It is designed to engage drones, incoming missiles and other high-speed threats. Its integrated sensors and fire control allow the system to operate independently of a ship’s wider combat system when rapid reaction is required. BAE Systems says it is intended to match or exceed the performance of systems such as Goalkeeper. Bofors 40 Mk4 Naval Gun: A compact, lightweight and fully automated naval gun designed for integration with a ship’s combat system. It can fire 300 rounds per minute and is compatible with 3P ammunition. The system is in service with, or on order for, nine countries, including Brazil, Japan, Sweden and Finland. The Royal Navy has ordered it for Type 31 frigates, while Brazil has contracted for units for its patrol vessels. Bofors 3P Ammunition Provides Common Capability All four systems use Bofors 3P programmable ammunition, which can be configured immediately before firing. The ammunition offers six programmable fuze modes, allowing a single round family to engage different types of air, surface and shore-based targets. The rounds contain tungsten pellets designed to improve effectiveness against aerial targets. The system can also engage targets with a relatively small number of rounds, allowing the magazine to support multiple engagements. Common ammunition and spare parts across the land-based Tridon, the new naval variants and existing 40 Mk4 installations are intended to simplify logistics and reduce the support burden for operators. Testing and Customer Interest BAE Systems said testing of the naval variants is continuing. The company is also discussing the systems with existing Bofors 40 Mk4 operators and potential new customers. The new family provides navies with different options, ranging from a stand-alone electro-optical gun system to a radar-equipped close-in weapon system, while retaining common ammunition and support arrangements.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — The U.S. Army has successfully flight-tested a 3D-printed heavy-fuel hybrid propulsion system on the VICTOR unmanned aircraft system (UAS). The demonstration, announced on 2 November 2026, took place near Huntsville, Alabama. Developed by the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL) with industry partners, including Griffon Aerospace, the system combines an air-cooled rotary engine with a 400-volt electric motor-generator. It is designed to reduce fuel logistics requirements while improving tactical drone performance. Heavy-Fuel Hybrid Propulsion The engine runs on kerosene-based heavy fuel already used by Army vehicles and helicopters. This could eliminate the need to transport separate gasoline supplies for tactical drones. In the series-hybrid configuration, the engine drives a generator that supplies electricity to the aircraft’s electric motors. The electric system supports vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), while the engine provides power for sustained flight. The technology could help drones fly longer, operate faster, carry heavier payloads and perform in extreme environments. However, specific flight duration, range, payload and fuel-consumption figures have not been released. 3D Printing Reduces Engine Size and Weight Heavy fuel is difficult to burn efficiently in compact rotary engines because it does not vaporise as readily as gasoline. ARL researchers used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and a clean-sheet design to address the challenge. The approach improved fuel atomisation and vaporisation while reducing compressed-air and fuel-vapour leakage. Metal 3D printing allowed engineers to rapidly redesign and manufacture components based on test results. It also enabled an air-cooled architecture, removing the need for a liquid-cooling circuit, pumps, radiators and coolant. The resulting design reduces the propulsion system’s size and weight, potentially freeing capacity for additional fuel and payload. VICTOR Drone and Military Applications The VICTOR (Versatile Intelligence Controlled Tactical Operational Reconnaissance and Attack) is a U.S.-made Group 3 medium-class drone developed by Griffon Aerospace. Group 3 systems weigh up to approximately 600 kg and can operate at altitudes of up to 5.5 km. VICTOR is designed for reconnaissance and strike missions, including operations in contested environments. The new propulsion system could support operations beyond line of sight, extending the reach of ground commanders while reducing risks to soldiers. PULSAR and Future Development The project falls under ARL’s Versatile Tactical Power and Propulsion research programme, which involved more than 30 universities, 13 federal laboratories and 20 industry partners. The programme produced research in combustion chemistry, sensing and controls, material design, batteries and hybrid-electric technology. It also generated patents, patent applications, technical data packages, design methods and reliability data. The findings will support further development of VICTOR and the PULSAR (Persistent Unmanned Aircraft System for Logistics, Strike, Autonomy, and Reconnaissance) concept. PULSAR envisions using swarms of VICTOR drones for multi-mission military operations. The aircraft and concept will be made available to military partners for further experimentation and development. The Army described the engine as the first 3D-printed heavy-fuel engine of its kind. The technology supports the military’s single-fuel logistics approach by allowing tactical drones to use heavy fuels already available across the force.

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine has deployed a large-scale electronic warfare (EW) network over Kyiv to disrupt the radio communications used by Russian operators to remotely control Shahed drones. Ukrainian presidential adviser on defence technologies Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov announced the development on 3 November 2026. The system, described as an electronic “dome” over the capital, is designed to interfere with MESH radio links that allow Russian operators to control certain Shahed drones during flight. How the Electronic Warfare Network Works According to Beskrestnov, Russian forces have equipped some Shahed loitering munitions with radio modems. These enable operators located inside Russian territory to maintain communication with the drones, search for targets and adjust their flight paths remotely. The Ukrainian network is designed to jam these communication links, disrupting the remote-control capability without relying solely on conventional air defence systems. MESH technology allows connected devices to relay signals between one another, helping maintain communication across a network. Its use in drone operations creates additional challenges for Ukraine’s electronic warfare and air defence units. Hundreds of Locations Covered Across Kyiv The deployment required antennas and specialised electronic warfare equipment to be installed at hundreds of locations across Kyiv. The work was completed within a few weeks. All major Ukrainian electronic warfare manufacturers participated, with production and installation teams working around the clock. The operation involved the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Internal Affairs, National Security and Defense Council, and the Office of the President. Beskrestnov said the project required close coordination and continuous supervision by the President of Ukraine. Russian Forces Seek Alternative Solutions According to Beskrestnov, the deployment disrupted Russia’s use of MESH-based remote control for Shahed drones, forcing Russian forces to pause this approach and seek alternative technical solutions. Russian forces are now working to upgrade their Shahed drones and develop ways to bypass the electronic warfare network over Kyiv. The development highlights the continuing competition between drone operators and electronic warfare specialists. As Russia expands the use of remotely controlled drones, Ukraine is developing new systems to disrupt their communications and strengthen the defence of its capital.

WASHINGTON — Oshkosh Defense and Silicon Valley-based Grid Aero have announced a strategic partnership to scale production of the Lifter autonomous logistics drone. Announced on 2 November 2026, the agreement combines Grid Aero’s aircraft technology with Oshkosh’s manufacturing facilities in Wisconsin. The partnership aims to produce a cost-effective unmanned aircraft for military and commercial logistics, addressing U.S. Department of Defense demand for scalable systems. Lifter Drone: Payload and Range The Lifter is a piston-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed for mid-range logistics. It can carry payloads of 450 to 3,600 kg (990 to 7,940 pounds) over distances of up to 3,200 km (approximately 2,000 miles). Grid Aero CEO Arthur Dubois said the aircraft was developed to reduce the cost of long-range air logistics. Its design uses a simple piston-engine layout, common materials and engineering approaches drawn from military trucks. The modular airframe is designed primarily for cargo transport but can also be adapted for reconnaissance, aerial refueling or as an airborne mothership to launch and coordinate smaller drones. Oshkosh to Support Mass Production Under the agreement, Oshkosh Defense will provide manufacturing facilities, production planning expertise and supply chain support in Wisconsin. Oshkosh Chief Growth Officer Logan Jones said the partnership combines Silicon Valley’s technology development with the Midwest’s heavy manufacturing capabilities. Initial work is underway on production engineering, design improvements for mass manufacturing and engagement with potential defense customers. Grid Aero will continue development and initial low-rate production, while Oshkosh prepares a pilot production line. Production Timeline and Future Plans A pilot production line could begin operations in roughly a year, following additional prototype testing estimated at six to 12 months. Production is expected to shift to Oshkosh in stages as demand grows. The companies have discussed long-term plans to produce hundreds to thousands of aircraft by the early 2030s, subject to testing progress, supplier capacity and customer orders. The project aims to deliver a production-ready aircraft meeting Pentagon requirements for Group 4 and Group 5 unmanned systems capable of operating in contested environments. Grid Aero, founded around 2024, has received seed and Series A funding, along with support related to U.S. Air Force innovation programmes. The partnership marks Oshkosh’s entry into the production of larger unmanned aircraft. Neither company has disclosed the financial terms, specific production targets or potential contract values.

CHANDIPUR, ODISHA — India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully conducted a flight test of the Pralay quasi-ballistic missile on November 3, 2026, from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) near Chandipur, Odisha. The surface-to-surface missile was launched from Launchpad No. 3 and successfully engaged two designated artificial targets located approximately 500 km away. The test assessed the missile’s performance and precision during flight. Pralay Missile: Range, Speed and Capabilities Developed indigenously by DRDO, Pralay is a solid-propellant quasi-ballistic missile designed to engage a range of military targets. It uses advanced guidance and navigation systems to achieve high precision. The missile has an operational range of 150 to 500 km and can carry payloads weighing between 350 and 1,000 kg. Its payload capacity allows it to accommodate different warhead configurations. Pralay follows a quasi-ballistic trajectory, allowing it to manoeuvre during flight, including in the terminal phase. This can make interception by air defence systems more difficult. The missile is reported to have reached Mach 5, approximately 6,174 km/h, during Tuesday’s test. The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued for the test covered a designated range of 595 km, although the reported target distance was around 500 km. Evacuation and Safety Arrangements Ahead of the test, local authorities carried out temporary evacuations as a safety measure. More than 2,500 residents living within a two-kilometre radius of the test facility in Balasore district were moved to safe shelters. Authorities arranged food, drinking water and other essential supplies for the evacuated residents and their domestic animals until the test was completed. Pralay Missile Development and Induction The Pralay missile has been developed primarily by Research Centre Imarat (RCI), Hyderabad, in collaboration with several other DRDO laboratories and industry partners. The missile is designed for induction into the Indian Army and Indian Air Force. It is launched from a mobile 12×12 high-mobility vehicle, allowing the system to operate from different locations. Earlier user evaluation trials included the successful launch of two Pralay missiles in a salvo from the same launcher in December 2025. The latest test adds to the missile’s development and evaluation programme as it moves towards induction into the Indian Armed Forces. Detailed evaluation of the November 3 test data is currently underway.

GEOJE, SOUTH KOREA — The Republic of Korea Navy and the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) launched the ROKS Seo Hui (SS-088) on November 3, 2026. The submarine is the second vessel of the 3,600-ton Jang Yeong-sil-class (KSS-III Batch-II) and was built at Hanwha Ocean’s Okpo Shipyard in Geoje. The launch ceremony took place around five years after Hanwha Ocean signed the construction contract in 2021. National Assembly Speaker Cho Jeong-sik attended as the guest of honour, alongside approximately 200 government, military and defence industry officials. Named after a Goryeo Dynasty diplomat, Seo Hui follows the lead submarine ROKS Jang Yeong-sil (SS-087), launched in October 2025. The Batch-II submarines introduce several upgrades over the earlier 3,000-ton Dosan Ahn Chang-ho-class (KSS-III Batch-I). Larger Design and Improved Strike Capability ROKS Seo Hui measures approximately 89.3 metres in length and displaces 3,600 tons on the surface, with submerged displacement reaching approximately 4,000 tons. Its larger hull provides additional space for weapons and equipment compared with the earlier Batch-I submarines. A major upgrade is its vertical launch system (VLS), which has expanded from six to ten cells. The system supports submarine-launched ballistic missiles, providing greater capacity for long-range precision strikes. The submarine also features upgraded combat management and sonar systems to improve target detection, information processing and engagement capabilities. Lithium-Ion Batteries and Improved Stealth The submarine combines a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, air-independent propulsion (AIP) and domestically developed lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-ion batteries replace the lead-acid batteries used in earlier submarines. They are designed to support longer submerged operations and sustained high-speed underwater movement. The design also includes noise and vibration reduction measures to improve stealth. Its upgraded sonar system supports underwater surveillance and target detection. Increased Domestic Equipment Production South Korea has localised 70 types of equipment for the Jang Yeong-sil-class Batch-II submarines. This includes 12 additional systems compared with the earlier Batch-I generation. The increased domestic integration is intended to strengthen South Korea’s technological independence, simplify logistics support and improve the competitiveness of its submarines in the international defence market. Delivery Planned for 2028 Following its launch, ROKS Seo Hui will undergo sea trials and systems testing before its planned delivery to the South Korean Navy in 2028. After delivery, the submarine will complete its force integration process before entering operational service.
