"“I can say that we have gone into production on APS for Bradley in limited quantities,” Dean said in a brief interview from the show floor of the AUSA Global Force conference. “We were able to find some efficiencies [in the supplemental] that allowed us to buy small quantities of Iron Fist."

The circle of life.

I think it is an XM360.

"This Sources Sought is to assess available and viable Company Level Small Uncrewed Aircraft System candidates for a follow-on demonstration in support of the United States Army Maneuver Elements. Additionally, these UASs may fulfill a Directed Requirement initiative or future Urgent Capability Acquisition. The UAS must be 2020 NDAA Sec 848 and 2023 NDAA Sec 817 compliant or demonstrate a path to compliance."

With all the hubbub about Russian nuclear space things I agree with the camp that thinks it is something nuclear powered.

QuoteThis is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of the Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems 11.0 (PEO IWS 11.0). PEO IWS 11.0 is looking for respondents to submit capability information on innovative, mature solutions for shipboard use to counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
Interested respondents should discuss projected performance against Group 3-5 UASs (e.g. probability of kill), key system performance parameters (range, engagement timelines, capacity, etc), Size, Weight, Power, & Cooling (SWaPC) requirements, operator / training requirements, concept of integration and integration requirements for surface ships (full kill chain), discussion of current production rates, a discussion of the adaptability of the proposed solution to changes in UAS systems (growth), and unit cost projections.

Fairly confident this is a photoshop, the person who made it does not appear to be aware of the offset mantlet an Abrams has.

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20230017880/downloads/Trent MACHETE SciTech2024 Manuscript v3.pdf"NASA’s Mars Architecture Team (MAT) has recently developed a collection of concepts to assess the capabilities and constraints presented by architectures incorporating large-scale Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) propellant production. The focus of this manuscript is on the concept design of chemical propellant-based transportation systems including a dual role lander/ascent vehicle and an in-space transporter. Mission performance analyses performed during a recent design analysis cycle derived the 300,000 kg propellant production capacity utilized for preliminary concept designs of enabling surface ISRU systems, power systems, fluid handling systems, and their concept of operation, detailed in companion papers."

"“This analysis compares the lifecycle cost of two conceptual space-based solar power systems versus their potential for net emissions reductions,” said Charity Weeden, who leads NASA OTPS. “By considering scenarios like these, OTPS helps NASA understand the technological, policy, and economic implications that would need to be addressed.”"

Some of the highlights of the call.
-A2, A3 and A4 in September 2025, 2026 and 2028
-A2 delay comes from needing to understand an ablation of the heat shield during the skip that was different than expected, the circuitry of a co2 scrubber and battery connections for the LAS
-Starship flight 3 in Feb, will not be a prop transfer
-no changes to the mission plan of A2 and A3
-uncrewed HLS demo in 2025, will be both a landing and liftoff
-NASA asking SX and BO about cargo versions of their HLS -

Do we have a thread for the KF51 or are we just lumping it into the Leopard thread?
Rheinmetal to develop KF51 EVO in Hungary
Hull based on Bergepanzer 3
120mm L55A1 (ready for 130mm)
Autoloader
There is a thread for German vehicles and a thread for the Leo2 in particular but it is fine to post here.

Active Protection System (APS) for tanks

Makes sense given its use on the Bradley.
