Building on an unsurpassed legacy of success, GE continues to execute on bold technical initiatives to ensure even more demonstrable support to the warfighter and those in need of humanitarian relief.

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.

FLIR's man-portable soldier solutions are lightweight, powerful, and easy to use, making today's warfighter more capable and more agile on the battlefield than ever before.

With a peak torque of >200Nm / 1770 lbf-in and a rated torque of 80Nm / 708 lbf-in, the fully redundant DA 58-D is the strongest, electromechanical, fully integrated (actuator control electronics, position sensing, motor and drivetrain in one housing) actuator in the market. Besides the well-proven redundant RS 485 interface, the DA 58-D also features a redundant CAN bus interface. The DA 58-D has been developed for applications with the highest reliability demands. The redundant – two channel – design of the actuator allows continuous operation even if one of the two channels has failed. All major components such as the electric motors, control and communication electronics, and power supply are available twice (redundant). The actuator features a triple-redundant position sensor (2 out of 3 voting). Additionally there are several sensors integrated to provide diagnostic information such as current consumption, supply voltage levels and temperature readings. All major components of the actuator are continuously diagnosed by the microcontrollers of the actuator and its health status can be read via the redundant RS485 / CAN interface.

This explosive detector, built on a photochemical sensor, is a security device that detects traces of explosives by sucking in the surrounding air. It is scheduled for trial application at APEC 2025.

The D56M differential pressure switch provides high precision measurement across a wide range of low-differential pressure conditions in a package smaller than other units of comparable capability. The membrane senses changes between the “high” and “low” pressure inlets while offering excellent repeatability and high cycle life. Optional hermetically sealed contacts mean the D56M can be well suited when vapor ignition is a concern.

Typical uses include airflow control plenums.

For a similar switch with a higher resistance to shock and vibration, refer to the D16M

For qualification information, please consult the sales or engineering departments.

Features

Intended for gaseous media
Environmentally sealed with optional hermetically sealed contacts
Proven diaphragm and leaf spring technology for high cycle life

Hyundai Elevator is leveraging its expertise in elevator technology to develop infrastructure for urban air mobility (UAM). We are working on takeoff, landing, charging, and maintenance platforms that can be built on top of existing buildings, solving space constraints in congested urban environments. Our initiative is backed by their manufacturing expertise and government support, though global building codes may present a challenge in scaling the solution.
