WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, a coalition of six leading gun rights organizations comprised of the American Suppressor Association (ASA), National Rifle Association (NRA), Safari Club International (SCI), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC), and the New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate (NJFOS), as well as Silencer Shop, announced the filing of a joint federal lawsuit in the District of New Jersey challenging the state of New Jersey’s unconstitutional ban on firearm suppressors. This litigation joins Anderson v. Raoul, the ASA Foundation and Silencer Shop—backed lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the ban on suppressors in Illinois, at the forefront of pro-suppressor litigation.
Also known as silencers, suppressors are hearing safety devices that reduce the noise of a gunshot by an average of 20 to 35 decibels. That is why the Centers for Disease Control, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the National Hearing Conservation Association, the Academy of Doctors of Audiology, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgeons, and Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership all recommend the use of suppressors as a tool to mitigate preventable hearing damage. Suppressors are “arms” under the Second Amendment and enjoy the same constitutional protection as the firearms they are attached to. The government cannot categorically ban them without first proving a historical tradition of such bans – a burden it cannot meet.
“The ban on suppressors in New Jersey is an unacceptable violation of Second Amendment rights for law-abiding gun owners across the Garden State. Suppressors are an essential safety device that protects the hearing and preserves situational awareness for millions of gun owners and sportsmen,” said ASA President and Executive Director Knox Williams. “For too long, out of touch bureaucrats in state capitols have prioritized misguided political beliefs over the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. At the American Suppressor Association, we are proud to stand firm with our partners in the fight to restore the constitutional rights of all Americans.”

“Suppressors are essential for reducing the risk of hearing loss for gun owners and hunters,” explained John Commerford, NRA-ILA Executive Director. “The NRA is proud to partner with like-minded allies to restore constitutional protection for these important hearing safety devices. This challenge is critical to defending the Second Amendment rights of New Jerseyans and protecting their health and freedoms.”
“Safari Club International has long stood at the intersection of hunting rights and constitutional freedoms. This case isn’t just about suppressors: it’s about defending the ability of hunters to pursue game safely and lawfully. SCI has a strong record of litigating to protect regulated bear hunting in New Jersey, and views this case as a continuation of our commitment. SCI is proud to join forces with respected partners in this litigation, united by a shared commitment to defending the Second Amendment and hunting heritage. SCI stands firmly on behalf of our growing community in New Jersey, including our newly formed Garden State Chapter, to ensure that the rights of hunters are respected and upheld,” said W. Laird Hamberlin, CEO of Safari Club International.
“New Jersey’s total ban on silencers deprives the state’s residents of access to constitutionally protected arms,” said SAF’s Executive Director Adam Kraut. “Silencers are nothing more than mufflers designed to mitigate the damage caused to a users’ ears when firing a gun, no different than the muffler found on automobiles. Additionally, their use provides benefits to the surrounding communities by mitigating the noise created when shooting guns. Former President Theodore Roosevelt was known to use these devices while hunting and they are commonly used in Europe, which is anything but gun friendly. Lawmakers rely on Hollywood’s characterization of these tools to justify keeping their heads in the proverbial sand. We look forward to working with our partners to overturn this unconstitutional ban.”
“This case will send shockwaves through the New Jersey statehouse, where lawmakers pretend that the Second Amendment doesn’t apply to them. They are about to get a wake-up call like no other, and ANJRPC is proud to be a part of this historic effort,” said Executive Director of ANJRPC Scott Bach.
“We are proud to stand among our partners at ASA, NRA, SAF, ANJRPC and Safari Club in this critical step to restore the Second Amendment rights of New Jersey residents. There is nothing ‘common sense’ about a total ban on suppressors, an arm that can only be used by the people of this state to exercise their core Constitutional rights in a safer manner,” said NJFOS Director of Legal Operations Joe Loporto.

HIGH DESERT TEST RANGE, Calif. – 16 July 2025 – AFRL’s XQ-67A, a second-generation Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP), successfully demonstrated integration of government reference autonomy during a recent flight test in the California High Desert.
The flight showcased the integration of government-owned autonomy on the XQ-67A, paired with active tactical datalink communications, to enable dynamic mission execution and real-time coordination with both crewed and uncrewed systems. The event marked a major milestone in advancing scalable, modular autonomy and seamless interoperable crewed-uncrewed teaming (C/U-T).
GA-ASI unmanned jets include (top to bottom) MQ-20 Avenger®, XQ-67A and YFQ-42A.
“This successful test underscores the Department’s commitment to fielding autonomous systems that can integrate into joint operations using existing tactical networks,” said Mike Atwood, Vice President of Advanced Programs for General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI). “Government owned autonomy on the XQ-67A is a concrete step toward deployable, combat-relevant autonomy that works with and alongside crewed platforms.”
During the flight, the XQ-67A executed test points to validate the integration of mission systems on the aircraft, including autonomy, mission computing, networking, power and thermal management, and datalinks. Through a tactical datalink, the aircraft received real-time updates and situational data, giving it the ability to coordinate seamlessly with crewed aircraft and other autonomous systems in the future.
The XQ-67A platform, built by GA-ASI under contract with AFRL, plays a critical role in exploring the platform sharing approach to achieving scalable affordable mass. Its performance in this flight test advances the Air Force’s vision for an integrated autonomous force that can support and augment current and future crewed platforms.
The successful demonstration in the high desert highlights the promise of combining government-owned autonomy with proven tactical communications infrastructure. This approach accelerates technology transition and supports AFRL learning objectives regarding the integration of mission systems within the context of the highly relevant XQ-67A testbed.
As an Allied combined arms formation rolls quickly through a heavily fortified enemy area, the dangers they face are unknown. Enemy adversaries could be dug in, difficult to identify, and ready to open fire. A soldier launches a drone to perform reconnaissance of the area, spotting a series of dangerous enemy positions. But there are only minutes to convey that critical information to the Battalion and Brigade commanders and adjust tactics before large groups of soldiers advance. With the right software tools, commanders are able to receive and process this information from miles away on a mobile device, and then transmit new orders to their subordinates that integrates real-time intelligence before they engage the enemy. In a matter of seconds, the lethality and effectiveness of the advancing unit is significantly upgraded.
The information age is transforming the battlefield. Soldiers must be equipped to go into battle with the best technology American industry can muster, with connectivity from the outer edge to the operations center. As the battlespace becomes digitized — and timely data, information processing, and decision-making decide success or failure — a transformed, modernized Army will need transformed, modernized software, networking, and communications equipment.
Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) is the Army’s answer to this challenge. It’s the principal Army initiative to modernize the service’s communications and networking technologies, equipping the warfighter with seamless and resilient connectivity at the edge while simultaneously supplying commanders with the best decision-making information available — all through a modular, extensible, and open architecture software platform.
Anduril Industries today announced that it was awarded a $99.6 million Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement by Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, and Network (PEO C3N) to lead the delivery of an NGC2 prototype, integrating partner capabilities from other technology-first companies like Palantir, Striveworks, Govini, Instant Connect Enterprise (ICE), Research Innovations, Inc. (RII), and Microsoft.
For NGC2, Anduril and its partners will create an ecosystem that can rapidly integrate a range of technologies into a singular architecture so that soldiers can access various kinds of compute, communications, and information processing capabilities all at once. Time-sensitive decisions will be faster, and soldiers will be more connected across Corps to Company. Critical data might include enemy locations, logistics and sustainment information, terrain mapping, tactical control measures, and weapons statuses. In turn, Lattice Mesh will enable machine-to-machine interfaces that deliver effects in a fraction of the time compared to legacy systems and networks.
Lattice Mesh is already the foundational edge platform that underpins several Joint and Service initiatives, including the DoD’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office Edge Data Mesh. In the same fashion, Lattice will create immediate Joint interoperability for the Army’s Command and Control ecosystem. As a result, NGC2 will connect digital assets, remote sensors, command posts, and soldiers on the ground with real-time intelligence and systems. This solution is in stark contrast to the siloing of data and intelligence across classified and unclassified stovepiped systems that currently exists.
The announcement of OTA continuation follows an 18-month competitive experimentation process, which Anduril entered in late 2023. From the ground up, Army Futures Command has reimagined a new construct for command-and-control in just two years, considering multiple proposals from industry with the intent of standing up NGC2 at rapid speed. Contrasted with a typical five to seven year timeline, the Army moved from proof-of-concept to capability validation in just one year, a pace which Army CTO Alex Miller called “astronomically fast.” The Army established NGC2 as a program office in April 2025.
Anduril and its partners will deliver the NGC2 prototype to the 4th Infantry Division immediately upon award, working through a series of Soldier touchpoints and exercises to stress the performance of the software solution in operational environments at scale. The capability will be integrated onto compute nodes aboard multiple different types of mechanized vehicles throughout the 4th Infantry Division. Throughout the process, we will continue to evaluate new products, partners, and technologies that could strengthen the NGC2 ecosystem, contributing to continued improvement and evolution of NGC2. This prototype will serve as a proof-of-concept that with Anduril software, tactical units are better connected, informed, and more agile as they conduct real-time operations — precisely aligned with the Connected Warfare mission at Anduril as it works with customers across the Department of Defense.
This latest announcement from the Army is a reflection of Anduril’s commitment to delivering every conceivable battlefield advantage to the United States military — starting with the information they use and ending with the weapons they carry. And we’re still just getting started.
