Armada is one of the worlds leading defence technology analysis magazines since 1976. The editorial includes technology analysis, information about ongoing procurement programmes worldwide, news analysis, comments and interviews from top defence officials. It has become the go to defence encyclopaedia for the defence community, especially those who make purchasing and procurement decisions.

The Global Aerospace & Defense Team's Business Service Providers (BSP) Directory is designed to help U.S. aerospace and defense companies identify professional service providers to assist them in the assessment, completion, and/or financing of an export transaction.

GE and Safran are evaluating several promising architectures as part of their technology maturation plan. The most ambitious, the one that will yield the gre...

The HXB13 Connectors, featuring expanded beam technology, hermaphroditic connection, rugged construction for field deployment have been designed for harsh environment applications such as military tactical communications, avionics, offshore systems, outside broadcast, mining and plant.

The expanded beam technology uses expanded and collimated beams to couple optical fibers without any contact. It could allow for optics to be used in areas that have been quite restrictive due to presence of damage or contamination at the fiber end. Hermaphroditic connector design enables fast deployment by daisy-chaining multiple cable segments.

FEATURES
· Advanced expanded beam technology
· Rugged field deployable fiber optic connector
· Hermaphroditic interconnection
· 2 to 4 Optical Channels for Singlemode or Multimode
· Custom configurations available
· Environmental sealing (IPX8)
· Very high resistance to vibration, shock, environmental effects, dust, and debris

The world’s first satellite dedicated to blue carbon monitoring, launched in January 2025. Equipped with an AI-powered onboard processor, BlueBON processes electro-optical data directly in orbit, reducing latency and eliminating the need for energy-intensive ground-based processing. This establishes a new model for sustainable, application-driven EO missions.

Introducing the EXOtube universal modular adapter for rideshare missions. This launch vehicle-agnostic payload stack provides maximum flexibility to customers and simplifies mission execution for our launch partners. EXOtube is an adaptive load-bearing structure for adaptation, integration and launch and deployment of the entire range of smallsats from cubesats to 1000 kg microsats.

Radio interference on telecommunications / broadcasting satellites operating in and outside of the country may result in degradation and interference of telecommunications / broadcasting. This system searches the interfering sources by TDOA / FDOA.

Our products are used for manufacturing interior design components for civil and military aircraft construction. Sandwich structures are used in many areas of an aircraft (storage compartments, interiors, wings) to reduce weight. In order to structurally strengthen the honeycombs or insert them, they often have to be filled during the production process. Typical materials are one- and two-component epoxy resins with a very high proportion of hollow glass spheres. These require extremely gentle handling, as they would otherwise be destroyed, which in turn would result in an increase in density. Common application patterns are beads, circles, full surfaces and egde-filling. The job is often done manually, which results in long production times and high running costs due to material waste. Lack of reproducibility is just as problematic as the health hazard often posed by these media. The ViscoTec solution: Material is continuously fed to the dosing system by removal from a large container. With the help of a robot or axis system, suitable structures can be mapped reliably. A coordinated overall system delivers a dispensing result according to specification, in which operator interaction is reduced to a minimum.
