Speed to scale. This is how the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) contributes to national security. This is not your father's acquisition process.

Freedoms Forge 2.0 "We look forward to working with our partners at DIU and the Air Force Armament Directorate (EB) to deliver a highly-producible, modular, affordable, and capable Enterprise Test Vehicle (ETV) that will serve as the baseline architecture for large-scale production of next-generation airborne platforms," said Jason Levin, Senior Vice President of Anduril's Air Dominance & Strike Division. "Like all Anduril products, our ETV solution aims to deliver capabilities in years, not decades, filling critical capability gaps on a relevant timeline. In this case, that means pioneering solutions to enable on-demand large-scale manufacturing to achieve affordable mass." https://lnkd.in/gtgpMpsw

New EDA project to advance work on hybrid drive trains for military vehicles To improve the sustainability of future defence mobility while retaining the highest performance demanded by military vehicles, the European Defence Agency has been working on the development of hybrid drive trains for military use. EDA has formally kicked-off the #HybriDT II (Hybrid Drive Train Demonstrator-phase 2) – project which involves the design of full-scale wheeled and tracked military purpose demonstrators with hybrid drive trains. The aim of HybriDT II is the design of demonstrators to verify simulation results and allow for tactical and logistic testing of new technologies. Wheeled vehicles will be the primary focus of the research, with 8×8 and 6×6 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) will be considered. In addition, tracked vehicle applications will be investigated just within simulation. The project will be executed by a consortium composed of thirteen industrial and research entities: the AVL List as project leader and General Dynamics European Land Systems – Steyr Automotive GmbH from Austria; the German AVL Schrick, AVL Software and Functions and Institute for Chemical Technology Fraunhofer; DNV, TNO and VDL Nedcar from The Netherlands; the Polish Military University of Technology and Huta Group Stalowa Wola Ironworks; AVL Slovenia, Elaphe Propulsion Technologies Ltd. and University of Ljubljana (Slovenia). https://lnkd.in/eS-6aaCc #EUdefence #defence #innovation #military #defence #EU

Pathways Towards Multi-Domain Integration for UK Robotic and Autonomous Systems - Royal United Services Institute (Downloadable pdf research paper) "The areas of the battlefield where there is greatest utility to cross-service integration are those like the littoral and close areas of the land operating environment where the capabilities of multiple services will converge at scale." Calian Group develops military training exercises with a focus on realistic scenarios. Developing realistic scenarios for synthetic environments allows us to create a “cross-domain, cross-services” training experience, with events in simulation affecting players and units throughout the synthetic environment. Cross-domain training tests trainees’ ability to respond to complex situations, preparing them for the challenges they will face on operations.

China's 🇨🇳 J-35 stealth fighter jet test flight has sparked discussion on its Stealth capability. • J-35 release black smoke coming from the jet's engines during takeoff. • Even though this smoke might be normal for engine testing, however it raises questions on the jet's stealthiness. • As per Experts if the smoke is visible, it could make it easier for radar to detect the jet, which is a big deal for stealth planes . Reverse Engineering of F35 cannot produce desired results

Wow, well worth watching. This is a promo video for manufacturing at Joby. The complexity of this aircraft is 10X anything else I have seen in the light commercial market. Arguably, perhaps THE most complex light civilian aircraft to enter into serial production... https://lnkd.in/gstdRy8a
