SIG SAUER AG is extremely pleased with armasuisse’s decision to select the P320 pistol as the new service pistol of the Swiss Army. This contract is a strong commitment to Swiss industry and an important milestone for our site in Neuhausen am Rheinfall.

With SIG SAUER’s network of several hundred suppliers in all regions of the country, all relevant components of the new pistol can be manufactured and serviced entirely in Switzerland.

This strong Swiss presence and correspondingly high, sustainable added value guarantees quality, security of supply, and rapid production availability.

Pasquale Caputi, CEO of SIG SAUER AG, commented: “We are proud and grateful for the trust that armasuisse has placed in us. The decision strengthens Switzerland as an industrial location and motivates our entire team in Neuhausen am Rheinfall.” We will work with the utmost precision and full commitment to reliably meet the army’s requirements and deliver a highly reliable, safe product to the troops.

The new Swiss pistol combines modern technology, high durability, and precise handling – and stands for Swissness, quality, and a long industrial tradition at the Rhine Falls.

The technical and ergonomic adjustments required following troop trials will be fully implemented.

The entire team in Neuhausen is looking forward to implementing this important project and to the expanded collaboration with armasuisse and the Swiss Army.

El Segundo, CA – Neros Technologies has been awarded a multi-million delivery order contract with the United States Marine Corps to provide advanced small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) — including kinetic-strike capable FPVs — together with comprehensive operator training and support, across the Fleet Marine Force (FMF).

The award underscores the Marine Corps’ push to rapidly field combat-proven, American-manufactured drone technologies that ensure asymmetric effects capability by expeditionary combat units—at scale. Built without Chinese components and certified under the Department of War’s Blue UAS program, Neros’ Archer FPV drone fleet brings trusted, secure capability directly to Marines operating in contested environments.

“This order reflects the lightening pace the Marine Corps is working at to train, develop TTPs, and deploy FPV capabilities. The Marine Corps Attack Drone Team and Marine Corps Warfighting Lab have been instrumental in positioning the Marines as the first-mover in FPV within the service branches.” said Soren Monroe-Anderson, CEO of Neros Technologies “We are proud to work with our partners at Kraken Kinetics, makers of the Terminus modular mission payload system, to deliver these systems and associated training within months, thanks to our scaled production operation and dedicated Mission Success team.”

“We are very grateful for the Marine Corps’ support, and we are committed to putting the best possible asymmetric FPV drone systems in Marines’ hands,” Monroe-Anderson added.

The delivery order includes both system deliveries and hands-on training, ensuring rapid integration of FPV sUAS capabilities into Marine Corps infantry units and Marine Expeditionary Units. By pairing technology with instruction, the Marine Corps gains an immediate kinetic operational FPV capacity that has been proven on the Ukrainian battlefield.

Since the company’s launch in 2023, Neros Archer has become the highest production rate drone built in the United States. The company’s work with the Defense Innovation Unit, early fielding in Ukraine, and accelerating U.S. production base highlight Neros’ ability to move swiftly and deliver trusted systems to the Marines and soldiers who need them.

US Army Awards Mossberg Contract for Additional 590A1 Pump-Action Shotguns

Friday, December 5th, 2025

O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. is proud to announce that it has been awarded a contract for approximately $11.6 million dollars to supply the U.S. Army with additional Mossberg® 590A1™ pump-action shotguns. First adopted by multiple branches of the U.S. Military in 1987, the Mossberg 590® proved its reliability and durability by successfully completing the rigorous MIL-SPEC 3443E testing protocol.

Following its adoption, the U.S. Military requested a purpose-built variant capable of withstanding sustained, high-volume use in the most demanding environments. That requirement led directly to the development of the Mossberg 590A1 — a strengthened, mission-ready evolution of the original 590 platform.

“Mossberg is honored to receive an additional contract from the U.S. Department of Defense for the battle-proven 590A1 shotgun,” said John MacLellan, Mossberg’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This award reflects our long commitment to supplying rugged, mission-capable firearms built to exacting standards — and reinforces our pledge to provide timely solutions that support the safety and effectiveness of U.S. service members.”

Mossberg 590A1 shotguns are based upon the time-tested Mossberg 500 pump-action platform, with non-binding twin action bars; positive steel-to-steel lock-up; and an anti-jam elevator for smooth, reliable operation; dual extractors; anodized aluminum receiver for added durability, and universally-recognized, ambidextrous top-tang mounted safety. The Mossberg 590A1 also features a heavy-walled barrel; metal trigger guard; metal safety selector switch; and parkerized finish.
