GA-ASI and Lockheed Martin Developing Net-Enabled Weapons Capability for MQ-9B SeaGuardian

Friday, June 28th, 2024

SAN DIEGO – 27 June 2024 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) are collaborating to provide Net-Enabled Weapons (NEW) capability for GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SeaGuardian® Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The addition of NEW capability for SeaGuardian will bolster the Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting (ISR&T) capability for the aircraft.

The NEW technology provides expanded sensor targeting applications for the precision targeting of long-range weapons. SeaGuardian’s demonstrated persistence coupled with its vast array of precision targeting sensors enables more efficient kill chains, especially in contested environments. GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SeaGuardian® UAS, and SeaVue multi-role radar from Raytheon, an RTX business, will effectively leverage Lockheed Martin’s extensive NEW expertise to further refine targeting capabilities for future theater deployments. Initial testing was completed on June 5, 2024, with F/A-18s on the U.S. Navy’s W-289 test range in Southern California.

GA-ASI and Lockheed Martin have been developing Link 16 messages to communicate with weapons inflight using the SeaGuardian Systems Integration Lab (SIL) in preparation for overwater range test flight.

“This is a very important system attribute for SeaGuardian to enable naval long-range targeting CONOPS against high-end threats at much less risk to manned platforms,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We appreciate Lockheed Martin’s support in helping us prove out the NEW technology, which is an important component of our ISR&T capability.”

MQ-9B SeaGuardian is a medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS. Its multi-domain capabilities allow it to flex from mission to mission. SeaGuardian has been used by the U.S. in several recent demonstrations, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, and Group Sail.

PWS Announces New BDE45 Suppressor – Now Shipping to Dealers

Friday, June 28th, 2024

Primary Weapons Systems announces a new caliber addition to the B.D.E™ Suppressor line is currently shipping to dealers.

BOISE, ID. 27 June, 2024 – PWS (Primary Weapons Systems) is proud to announce the new addition to the successful BDE® suppressor line, the BDE45, is now shipping to dealers.

The BDE line of suppressors started in 2022 with the original 7.62x51mm offering—the BDE762 – and expanded in 2023 to include the BDE9, BDE22, and BDE556 caliber additions. The new BDE45 is machined with aerospace-grade titanium, which is lighter and stronger than traditionally machined aluminum. The suppressor is also finished with a durable PVD coating as well as an exterior textured design that dissipates heat and mirage, regardless of round count. Tapered threading prevents carbon locking and loosening between baffles, while symmetrical internal baffles enhance accuracy. The key feature of the BDE® line is the modularity. The BDE45 measures at just 5.88” in its shortest configuration and 8.18” at its longest configuration (measured without mount). The BDE45 is also incredibly light, weighing anywhere between 8.8 and 11.1oz depending on the configuration. The BDE45 can handle firearms up to .45-70 caliber is priced competitively at $749.99 and is available now through participating PWS dealers.

For more information on PWS, visit www.primaryweapons.com and/or stay tuned to PWS eNewsletters and social channels. To purchase a BDE45, contact your local PWS dealer.

Netline Presents Its New DF Sensor – Directional Detection of Drones Regardless of Their Spectral Signature

Wednesday, June 26th, 2024

Addressing the rapid changes in drone threats, Netline’s new DF sensor detects and locates standard, non-standard and DIY drones. “A robust, comprehensive solution for elusive drone threats with unknown spectral signatures”

June 25, 2024 – Netline Communications Technologies Ltd. – a leading developer and manufacturer of high-end electronic warfare and tactical spectrum dominance systems for defense forces and homeland security agencies, presents a novel approach to drone detection with its new non-database direction-finding (DF) sensor.

Netline’s new development is designed to detect all dronethreats in the covered area – including various non-standard and DIY drones, which are the most elusive threat in recent war zones and conflict areas.

“Netline is stepping up to meet the growing field demands for a comprehensive system that can identify and locate all potential drone threats”, asserts Mr. Shai Palti, Netline’s CEO. “As the drone industry evolves, defense forces face new and complex challenges. Netline’s new approach provides our clients with a robust solution for detecting, locating, and mitigating every threat in the spectral area, even if it’s a new drone with unknown spectral signatures or communication links”.

“Innovative and Adaptive Algorithm with No Specific Data”

The new version of Netline’s DF sensor is based on three detection steps. First, the sensor scans the spectrum for all radio frequencies (RF) in the relevant bands, then separates targets from the spectral noisy environment using a hybrid algorithm, and finally tracks the suspicious targets to define their threatening level according to different parameters.

The strategic deployment of two or more DF sensors in the covered area empowers users with precise localization abilities. This is achieved through the intersection of the two direction lines, ensuring a comprehensive and effective drone detection and localization system.

These abilities join Netline’s battle-proven drone mitigationsystems. Based on SDR technology, Netline’s jammers disrupt the communication between the drone and its operator, block GNSS signals, and cover all potential drone frequencies.

“At Netline we constantly learn and monitor the evolving threats in different war zones around the world to develop critical and rapid solutions. Our R&D teams have developed this innovative and adaptive algorithm that recognizes common factors of airborne threats, indicating their existence without needing specific data”, summarizes Mr. Palti.
