The M109A7 is the latest howitzer in the BAE Systems M109 family of vehicles, the primary indirect fire support system for the ABCTs. It uses the existing main armament and cab structure of a Paladin M109A6, and replaces the vehicle’s chassis components with modem components common to the Bradley vehicle. The improved chassis structure provides greater survivability and commonality with the existing systems in the ABCT, reducing operational sustainability costs by replacing obsolete components. The M109A7 is supported by the Army as a vital technology enhancement program to maintain the combat capability of its ABCTs. The M109A7 will solve long-term readiness and modernization needs of the M109 family of vehicles through a critical redesign and production plan that leverages the most advanced technology available today. This state-of-the-art “digital backbone” and power generation capability provides a more robust, survivable and responsive indirect fire support capability for ABCT Soldiers. The M109A7 is considered to be the most cost-effective method to significantly improve sustainability and survivability, while reducing the logistics burden on the ABCT and supporting fires brigades. The program will be executed as a public/private partnership between the Army’s Project Manager-HBCT, Anniston Army Depot and BAE Systems that leverages the strengths of both public and private sectors to ensure the best value for U.S. Soldiers.

Toxic gases, such as Silane (SiH4), Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3), Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6), Ammonia (NH3), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), etc. must be contained in IMDG certified MEGC tubes for ocean transportation. For high purity gases such as SiH₄, and NF₃, DS Aether CT provides internal-polished tubes to a grade of 3S, 25S, etc. depending on customer's requirements. DS Aether CT’s tubes keep moisture levels below 1 ppm or 3 ppm by a heated vacuuming process so that gas quality can be maintained at high purity level.

Powerful multi-tasking capacity for higher productivity • Even higher multi-tasking capability is available from SMX machines through the combination of the left and right spindles, the B-axis milling function and a lower turret ideal- making the machines ideal for complex, high-precision machining. • Orthogonal structure maximizes machining space. • 12 station high-rigidity servo turret ensures accurate and powerful cutting performance, and outstanding process reliability. Outstanding control delivers higher precision • 0.0001-degree precision control function of B-axis and C-axis enables high-precision machining. • Minimized thermal displacement of the spindle and feed axis by the optimized cooling solution and smart thermal compensation ensure high precision even during long machining runs and extended use. Easy and convenient functions • Front located tool magazine and convenient ATC operation panel make it easy to change and replace tools, and monitor and check tool change operations. • Side-to-side movable swivelling operation panel with adjustable height settings. User friendly work guidance function. • User friendly work guidance function.

V-BAT Teams is powered by Hivemind, the world’s best AI pilot and the most strategic defense tech of our generation. AI pilots enable aircraft to maneuver without GPS or communications and enable the concept of intelligent teaming – the ability to autonomously read and react to each other, adversaries, and the environment to accomplish the mission.

For aircraft operating in sophisticated, diverse, and dense threat environments, self-protection is crucial. With Saab’s fully Integrated Defence Aids Suite (IDAS) – a proven end-to-end, multi-spectral EW self-protection suite for rotary and fixed-wing platforms – you can take advantage of immediate and automatic countermeasure dispensing as well as instant warning and threat awareness to the crew. This is essential since survival depends on doctrine-tactics in combination with countermeasures. In short, with IDAS watching your back, you are well prepared for the most challenging missions, in the most demanding threat environments.

The Crane stands as a state-of-the-art Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) detector. This device features a 5-megapixel resolution in a 2560×2048 format with a fine 5μm pitch. It is based on SCD's established XBn technology or Hot Full Midwave (HFM) and incorporates a digital readout circuit developed using an advanced CMOS process. The High Operating Temperature (HOT) Focal Plane Array (FPA) functions efficiently at 150K or 120K, enabling a large-format detector that excels in image quality while maintaining a relatively compact size, weight, and power consumption. SCD continues to lead in innovation.
