Learn About the BAD-30 at AUSA

Monday, October 14th, 2024

RD USA’s Blast Attenuation Device for 30mm cannons is the first suppressor I’m aware of in that caliber.

Promising attenuation of over 80% of the pressure of a 30mm cannon, the technology fits right in with the Department of Defense’s recent emphasis on lowering service member’s exposure to over pressure.

Developed by RD USA, the BAD-30 will be on display in their booth (#4125) as well as the Northrop Grumman booth (#1325) which coordinated on its development.

• Cubic’s Software Defined Radios (SDR) and protected waveforms deliver high data rates in compact, lightweight designs enabling resilient communications that extends the reach of Future Vertical Lift (FVL) platforms in contested electromagnetic spectrum environments.

The Moog Reconfigurable Integrated-Weapons Platform to Feature Five Distinct Configurations at AUSA 2024

Saturday, October 12th, 2024

Moog and General Dynamics Land Systems plan daily configuration changes in respective booths to demonstrate multiple mission capabilities.
East Aurora, NY (Oct 14, 2024) – Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) Defense Division’s Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP®) will feature five unique launcher configurations across two locations during the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition 2024. In the Moog booth #1051, the RIwP turret will be displayed on a stand to demonstrate its platform-agnostic design. General Dynamics Land Systems also will feature a RIwP turret integrated with its TRX Defender robotic combat vehicle in booth #703. RIwP is a proven modular, and scalable remote turret offering unmatched capacity to host multi-domain payloads for current and future ground-combat platforms. This remote weapon platform offers air defense, anti-armor, or multi-mission capabilities via world-class, precision medium-caliber and indirect fires.

“We are excited to showcase multiple configurations of the RIwP turret for the U.S. Army at AUSA 2024. The daily configuration changes across the Moog and General Dynamics Land Systems’ booths will demonstrate how this product can transform to meet the changing needs of our complex battlefield. This is a shining example of industry coordination and an extension of the multi-year TRX collaboration between General Dynamics Land Systems and Moog,” said Tony Peck, Turreted Weapon Systems Director, Moog Inc. On day one, Moog will feature RIwP with a 30mm gun, Stinger and Coyote missile launchers, and radars. On day two, RIwP will be outfitted with an APKWS 70mm rocket launcher and a Stinger launcher along with the 30mm gun and radars. Both configurations are designed to meet air defense and counter-small unmanned aircraft systems (C-sUAS) missions.

The RIwP turret on the TRX Defender in General Dynamics Land Systems’ booth also will change each of the three days of AUSA. Supported by RIwP’s multi-mission payload modularity options, the TRX Defender is designed to protect formations against air and ground threats in a Mission Command on the Move scenario, relieving subordinate units from being tasked for command post defense.

Product and company names listed are trademarks or trade names of their respective companies.

The Moog exhibit will also feature other defense solutions including the Flexible Mission Platform (FMPTM), Control Actuation Systems (CAS) for precision missile steering, a Portable Weapon Management System (PWMS), avionics systems, and high-performance integrated rotary solutions including slip rings, motion control, and media conversion. Additionally, Moog actuation, flight control computers, and active feel and trim capabilities for the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) will be highlighted in the booth.

AM General Focuses on Tactical Capabilities for AUSA 2024

Friday, October 11th, 2024

SOUTH BEND, Ind., October 11, 2024 – AM General, leader in military automotive systems and technology, will display an array of mobility capabilities that are addressing the complexities of the evolving battlefield at the Annual Meeting and Exposition of the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA)

Oct. 14 – 16, 2024, Booth #1939, Hall B, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The Company will feature the next general Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV A2) and trailer, the HUMVEE 2-CT Hawkeye 105mm Mobile Howitzer, and the all-new MIMIC-V purpose-built truck.

“AUSA is an important event for the industrial base and gives us an opportunity to update our key customer, the US Military, on the latest developments to maintain readiness. And for AM General it comes at a time when we are preparing for production of the JLTV A2,” said Jim Cannon, AM General President and CEO. “We are extremely proud and excited to feature products that are actively supporting the Warfighter and that will continue to transform capabilities to support their mission.”

On display will be the new JLTV A2 general purpose 4-passenger vehicle, which features additional enhancements over the first-generation model. Key changes include an upgraded powertrain, improvements in noise reduction, and improved corrosion protection. The company will also display the JLTV-T Trailer which has a payload of up to 5,100 lbs. and has an 18.5-inch travel to make it a rugged compliment to the JLTV A2.

The HUMVEE 2-CT Hawkeye 105mm Mobile Howitzer will also be featured on the show floor. In Partnership with Mandus Group and utilizing the patented Soft Recoil Technology, the HUMVEE 2-CT Hawkeye can rapidly engage targets with both indirect and direct fires and move out to avoid counterfire strikes with the agility that the battle-tested HUMVEE platform is known for. The HUMVEE 2-CT Hawkeye is currently undergoing testing in the Eastern European theater as the company sees increasing demand for this mobile artillery system to counter near peer threats.

AM General is also debuting the first from-the-ground-up build of the MIMIC-V (Mission Integrated Maneuverable Interoperable Conformable Vehicle) prototype. The MIMIC-V is a platform that has been designed and engineered to serve the ultra-unique needs of our special operations Warfighters.

Formerly the AM General Chieftain, the MIMIC-V is the Company’s solution to tactical security. This high-performance and low-signature truck can operate in any environment for any tactical mission. As the name implies, MIMIC-V’s key differentiator is that it can reduce its signature by looking like a commercial vehicle.
