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 LHS/LHZ Series delivers railway industry-leading performance for high reliability, specialty, float mount connections, ideal for blind mating. Hypertac® hyperboloid contact technology ensures immunity to shock and vibration and minimal contact resistance. The LHZ Series is available as specific version with high-speed Quadrax contacts.

Whether satellites, spacecraft or space debris – GESTRA, the "German Experimental Surveillance and Tracking Radar", is a state-of-the-art radar system for observing and tracking objects in space. It operates in the microwave range and explores the Low Earth Orbit of 300 to 3,000 kilometres, i.e. the range in which most satellites and the International Space Station (ISS) are located. This makes it possible, for example, to protect space systems or the ISS from a collision with debris particles by providing a timely warning. Millions of tiny particles orbit the earth and, at a speed of around 28,000 km/h, pose a threat to active space technologies. GESTRA was developed and built by the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR on behalf of the German Space Agency at DLR.

THETIS-C is a compact multifunction thermal imaging system that provides soldiers with an advanced, light weight solution for day and night reconnaissance, surveillance and forward observation purposes. It also gives the blue forces a real-time target acquisition and target coordinate calculation capabilities.

DeTect specializes in advanced radar and other sensor technologies. The company is the leader in bird radar technologies for real-time aircraft bird strike avoidance, and industrial bird control with over 1100 of its MERLIN bird radars delivered to the US, Canada, Europe, Africa and Asia. DeTect’s MERLIN Bird Detection Radar (BDR) system, introduced in 2003, is the first production model bird strike radar system and is the most advanced and widely used technology available for aircraft-bird strike risk management providing for real-time detection, tracking and alerting of hazardous bird and drone activity at commercial airports, military airfields, and military training and bombing ranges. The bird radar is proven, operational technology with systems installed worldwide for aviation safety and environmental applications. The radar has a documented record in reducing bird strikes, increasing safety, and reducing aircraft damage at both military and commercial airfields MERLIN is also the only bird radar system to have been evaluated and certified for real-time, tactical flight safety use by the US government (NASA and the US Air Force) and is the only bird radar approved for and in use at a commercial airport control tower under national flight safety standards. The system is a full True3D™ radar and has the highest update rate of any BDR system (4+ times per second). MERLIN can optionally be delivered as a dual-function bird and drone detection radar (BDR-DDR), risk alerting and interdiction system. The counter-UAS DDR upgrade can be added to a MERLIN BDR at any time as an upgrade that includes the drone classification software and radiofrequency (RF) detectors to detect RF and WiFi controlled drones and locate their operators

Kappa’s Armor Eye product family of advanced rugged camera solutions offers maximum flexibility for customized and program-specific DVE and SAS designs and integrations. The high-performance rugged vision solutions can be specifically configured according to the vehicle type and the mission tasks. We offer affordable Entry Level (EL) and very sensitive and wide dynamic High Quality (HQ) camera products. Benefit from our project-specific flexibility to adapt view angles and DRI performance for the best operational performance, day- and night 24/7. Turnkey Solution - DVE- und SAS Systems with DVU - Digital Video Distribution Unit DVE systems with up to two cameras can be built as direct camera-monitor systems (CMS). For the integration of a larger number of cameras, our advanced VDU represents the signal processing core for all Kappa’s turnkey AE DVE & SAS systems. This high-speed and digital FPGA based processing core offers multiple HD-SDI camera inputs and several HD-SDI outputs for lowest system latency performance glass-to-glass. Additional control and H.264 IP streaming interfaces greatly increase the VDU flexibility and enable information sharing between vehicles. Controlled by the crew or the gearbox switch, the VDU processes the selected camera channels, mixes and scales multiple camera information, performs driver assistance and tactical overlays of text and icons, and fi nally routes the selected view data to the respective output for display on the cockpit monitors. Best in class signal processing techniques and scaling algorithms guarantee the low latency generation of crisp and sharp images even under severe difficult ambient light conditions. Day & Night Vision (VIS/LWIR), image fusion, near-zero latency, scalable solutions up to 360° surround-view, adaptable FoV.
