BAE Systems

Drone company UAVTEK has collaborated with BAE Systems to deliver 30 prototypes of the Bug nano-drone to the British Army for field evaluations. Weighing just 196 g, the Bug is designed to operate in winds of up to 80 km/h.

BAE Systems has won a contract worth up to US$400 million to design a low-cost, autonomous robotic combat drone that can partner with piloted warplanes under the US Air Force's Skyborg program.

The companies building the UK's Tempest sixth-generation fighter aircraft have revealed some of the technological concepts that it will incorporate, including a radar system designed to handle as much data per second as a city.

The first Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) from BAE Systems is ready for delivery to the US Army. On August 31, 2020, the first of the vehicles that will replace the Army's Vietnam War-era M113s rolled off of the production line.

BAE Systems has unveiled the digital techniques that are being used to design Britain's Tempest sixth-generation fighter jet with the goal of speeding up the development of the combat aircraft, which is scheduled to enter active service by 2035.

HMS Victory, which has been in dry dock for almost a century, is once again "afloat" – but not on the water. It is being supported by a high-tech system that mimics the pressure of the sea pushing against the vessel's hull and keel.

The US Army has awarded BAE Systems US$179 million to produce the next-generation Missile Warning System to protect the Army's rotorcraft.

BAE Systems has unveiled the futuristic smart factory that will be used to develop and manufacture Britain's Tempest fighter jet, combining robotics with other advanced technologies that will allow production lines to adapt much faster.

BAE Systems has won a US$4 million contract to supply the British Royal Navy with autonomous Pacific 24 (P24) boats. The P24 Unmanned is a 25.6 ft-long Rigid Inflatable Boat that can reach 38 knots and operate for 45 hours at patrol speed.

BAE Systems has successfully tested a ground-based version of its Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) laser-guided rocket, which is designed to allow ground combat units to engage distant targets without air support.

A super-endurance unmanned aircraft built for year-long flights has completed its maiden run. Built by BAE Systems subsidiary Prismatic, the PHASA-35 took to the air over the Woomera Test Range in Australia for its first fully-integrated flight test.

Raytheon and the US Navy have successfully fired a precision-guided munition that can be fired from a howitzer and zero in on a moving object. The test demonstrated its ability to find its target and withstand the shock of being fired out of a gun.
