Lots of possibilities but in my view the "strategic partnership" is most decidedly not new.

Fair. I still stand on the observation that this is not a new partnership and that the product dominates the fleet and also force design. PS @YZT580 - Iltis was not armoured.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/08/02/bae-and-rolls-royce-clash-over-all-british-fighter-drone/ This one is interesting. The BAE Brontanax CCA/Loyal Wingman apparently sees Rolls Royce competing against Williams International. Rolls Royce builds long-service engines for jet...

Fair comment on the TAPV. I guess I was lucky enough to have forgotten about it.

I have low expectations og government announcements but this one is extraordinary. “Canada’s next fleet of armoured vehicles will be built by Canadians, for the Canadian Armed Forces,” Carney said in a social media post on July 31.. “Our new partnership with GDLS-Canada will create more than...

The FP-7 is the non-American solution. It is the work of the same Ukrainian company that developed the Flamingo when the Americans wouldn't supply ATACMs and Tomahawks.

Waveglider has a similar track record to Saildrone https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/arctic/about-arctic-wave-glider "The Arctic wave gliders are capable of conducting autonomous, basin-scale ocean transits providing high resolution temperature data and acting as "virtual moorings” to augment the...

Saildrone is one of the premier USV suppliers. Recently contracted by the USCG to operate in the North Atlantic and Great Lake. "They have crossed the Atlantic Ocean in both directions, sailed up to the Arctic ice edge setting a northern latitude record for an autonomous vehicle of 75.49°N and...

From what I can gather it seems like the key element, the interface, is the Pod that contains the missiles. Those pods are now containing the MRLS Family of Missiles, from M31 to GMRLS-ER, to ATACMs, PrSMs, and now Tomahawks and PAC3s. The same launcher is in the running for AIM9s and AIM-120s...

https://www.autonocion.com/us/drone-french-boat-cable/ The game plan seems to revolve around some platforms being capable of enduring 30 day patrols unattended, some enduring 3 to 12 months unattended, and refits occuring about once a year. Replacement rather than repair in order to keep the...
