A super-evolution of the original platform brought about by the present-day tactical requirements and offering specialized features and functions specifically designed and fitted to provide top-notch efficiency, high operating speeds, a low recoil impulse, and a decisive and consistent feel. We took special care to design a weapon that offers very fast emergency reloads even in the most demanding of environments and situations, such as sports shooting, law enforcement or civil defense. The entire furniture set is AK compatible and thus the weapon can be fully configured to fit and use a wide array of accessories, making it suited for any preferences and all tasks.

The aviation industry was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and is only now beginning to recover. We convened industry leaders from Honeywell Aerospace and asked what carriers can expect in the short-to-midterm as they emerge from the downturn.

Today, space satellites are moving away from RF Analog based payloads providing low speed telecommunication signaling, to a new Digital Transparent Processor architecture for high throughput satellites. Those architectures increase the demand for rugged and higher speed connectivity. To meet those industry needs, Smiths Interconnect has developed the NXS Series, an advanced high speed, high density interconnect to provide next generation data on demand. Equipped with the Hypertac® hyperboloid contact technology the NXS system can withstand data rate application up to 50 Gbps (per channel) requirements, including extreme levels of vibration, shock and climatic testing above 2100 g. The NXS Series is designed in a robust construction with 4 or 12 high speed quadrax (dual-twinax) modules. The recent EMI Flange addition provides the extra benefit of reducing electromagnetic interference. Each ultra-high density quadrax module contains 2 dual twinax at 100 Ω each pair. It is blind mateable, hot pluggable, with ultra-low mating forces and low outgassing materials. In addition, the solderless PCB mount design reduces the customer’s risk and cost of ownership. The connector is mounted after reflow and has no impact on nearby components.

In addition to honeycomb potting, sandwich components often also have to be sealed and thus reinforced in the edge areas. For this purpose, similar or even identical filling materials are used as those used for filling the honeycombs themselves. Namely, core and edge filling compounds with very low density, which is achieved by enriching the material with hollow spheres. With our dosing technology, this process can also be automated. The 1-component or 2-component materials are processed gently – without changing their material properties. The material application can be fully automated or semi-automated. Thanks to pulsation-free dispensing, the best results can be achieved with the minimum of effort. This allows you to reduce production times while optimizing production processes at the same time.

The Integrated Weather Observation System (IWOS®) is the compact, wireless, rugged weather station that can be customized to any customers’ specific needs. This system can replace legacy weather stations that require hardline power or extensive infrastructure for permanent installation. It integrates up to eight environmental sensing modules with optional satellite communication in a package that fits into a single case and weighs less than 25 lb. In addition to its portability, performance, and professional-grade construction, the modular design of the IWOS lends itself to higher accuracy, higher availability, and a lower lifecycle cost thanks to its easily replaceable and serviceable modules.

A ground control system that establishes unmanned aerial vehicle missions, controls aircraft and mission equipment, reads image information, and transmits it to higher-level units.

Delivering dinner to your door. Bringing medical supplies to hospitals. Surveying waters where someone is missing. Drones are starting to help make many tasks faster and life a little easier. One hitch in using drones is that, in most cases, regulators in many countries require that a human keep them in sight at all times.
