The US Air Force has flight tested the Skyborg combat drone's Autonomy Core System for the first time. The "brain" of the autonomous Skyborg was installed in a Kratos UTAP-22 tactical uncrewed vehicle, and carried out a two-hour-and-10-minute flight.

Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL) has won an £800-million (US$1.1-billion) contract from the Ministry of Defence to upgrade 148 of the British Army's Cold War era Challenger 2 Main Battle Tanks to Challenger 3 specifications by 2027.

BAE Systems has been engaged by the US Army to deliver two evaluation prototype arctic field vehicles. Called Beowulf, the amphibious all-terrain vehicle is designed for moving soldiers and supplies to remote areas under the harshest conditions.

When the first of the Royal Navy's Dreadnought-class nuclear missile submarines takes to the sea in this decade, the same fly-by-wire technology used in aircraft will be used to control all the major facets of the boat's maneuvering.

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.
