Brisbane, Australia – September 28, 2022 – Leading global technology distributor and solutions provider Avnet will be participating in Land Forces 2022, an international land defence exposition to be held in Brisbane, Australia, at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre from 4 to 6 October. It marks Avnet’s second presence at the major aerospace and defence exhibition in the Pacific.
The Avnet booth (Hall 4, 4G14) will present five cutting-edge products. For example, the recently launched Avnet RFSoC SOM, a state-of-the-art 16-channel re-configurable wireless System-on-Module (SOM) is ideally suited for integration into drone detection systems and Phased Array Radar among other applications across aerospace and defence sectors. In addition, innovative solutions from Avnet’s partners Advantech, Mercury Systems, Renesas, Samtech and Western Digital will be displayed alongside the Avnet RFSoC SOM.
The Avnet RFSoC SOM is Australia’s first System-on-Module (SOM) to be marketed as an off-the-shelf product. Its adaptability, scalability and reliability make it ideal for integration in a wide range of complex wireless systems, shortening their time to market while overcoming the problem of a global chip shortage.
“At a time when advanced technology is playing an increasingly critical role in national and international security, the first-mover advantage is more important than ever,” said Tan Aik Hoon, Regional President for Avnet South Asia, Korea and Avnet United. “We foresee that packaged off-the-shelf solutions like the Avnet RFSoC SOM will help defence customers remain at the vanguard of technological change and even gain a winning edge.”
“The early response to the launch of the Avnet RFSoC SOM has been highly encouraging. Already in production, several orders have been placed by customers hailing from the defence sector and other industries for shipment,” added Tan.
Australia is an important market for Avnet with success across the company’s wide line-cards in various sectors including telecommunications and connectivity. With an end-to-end ecosystem covering every aspect of product development from ideation to production, Avnet is ideally positioned to support Australia’s aerospace and defence industry.

FULDA, GERMANY (26 Sept. 2022) – Mehler Vario System Group today announced that it will exhibit at the Future Forces 2022 international conference to be held 19-21 Oct. in Prague, Czech Republic.
Together, two of the Group´s companies, Mehler Vario System GmbH and Lindnerhof-Taktik GmbH, will showcase their latest jointly developed innovation, the M.U.S.T. ballistic protection-and-carrying system, which has been specifically designed for demanding mission scenarios of police and military forces.
Both companies will exhibit at booth 326 in Hall 3 of the PVA Expo centre. This is located at Beranov 667 in the Let?any district of Prague (and adjacent Prague Let?any Airport).
Mehler Vario System Group is a globally active manufacturer of ballistic protection and carrying systems for police, military, and special forces. Lindnerhof-Taktik, subsidiary of the group, is a producer of high-quality tactical equipment systems.
This will be the first time the two companies jointly exhibit at a Future Forces conference to collaboratively demonstrate product developments that go beyond the standard offerings on the market. Future Forces is an important major international event for the defence and security industries; the annual conference enjoys the official backing of the Czech Ministry of Defence, Armed Forces, Ministry of the Interior, Foreign Affairs and Trade, civil and military parts of the NATO HQ, European Defence Agency, and many other relevant national as well as international institutions, organisations, and agencies.
The novel system M.U.S.T. (short for Modular Universal Scalable Technology) is an interlocking modular system in which the individual protection and carrying components can be universally combined through intelligent interfaces so that they can be put together to meet the needs of almost any operational situation the user encounters.
“The special feature of the M.U.S.T. system is its almost infinitely variable scalability by the user for any application scenario due to its modular configuration,” said Thomas Homberg, CEO of Mehler Vario System Group. “The meticulous planning and sophisticated manufacturing processes that were involved have resulted in the system being both exceptionally lightweight and extremely durable.”
“Unlike conventional solutions, the final setup of the highly adaptable M.U.S.T. system is determined not by the supplier but by the customer. As with a construction kit, the customer decides which components are needed to produce a system perfect for the need of the moment. Every mission, every operation, is different so we leave it up to the operator to choose how to configure M.U.S.T and to choose the right components for it,” Lindnerhof-Taktik CEO Jakob Kolbeck added.
At Future Forces 2022, Mehler Vario System and Lindnerhof-Taktik will demonstrate the capabilities of the full M.U.S.T. system and spotlight some of the many possible configuration options.

Enfield, 16 September 2022 – Sensor solutions specialist HENSOLDT will be showcasing its broad portfolio, which includes solutions for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations, and sensors to improve safety and operational effectiveness. Visit HENSOLDT’s Stand No. SP-16 at DVD 21-22 September, for more information on its latest technology offerings in Radar, Optronics, self-protection and C2 solutions for defence and security applications.
HENSOLDT will present advanced solutions for the armoured vehicle sector, such as MUSS – Multi-functional Self-protection System and SETAS – See Through Armour System.
SETAS is a key element of HENSOLDT’s land portfolio and is a high performance Local Situational Awareness System (LSAS) for armoured vehicles, such as armoured personnel carriers, reconnaissance vehicles, engineering support vehicles and main battle tanks. The system is designed to provide all the crew with a real time panoramic view of what is outside the vehicle. In addition to the system’s 360° coverage in azimuth, a high vertical field of view provides awareness of potential threats from above, such as those encountered when operating in urban environments. The system supports detection and identification of threats such as snipers or RPGs, so that when soldiers have to disembark, they know exactly what awaits them outside, which is extremely advantageous when operating in a contested environment.
HENSOLDT will also present its TRML-4D air defence and weapon location radar and its Twinvis passive radar, as well as its portable battlefield solutions SPEXER 360 and 600 radars, all of which are designed to provide excellent performance in all weather conditions.
A selection of boresights, weapon sights and other high-performance optics will also be showcased.
HENSOLDT’s CxEye Command and Control (C2) Software will be featured as well. This modular system combines and integrates numerous sensors (radar, electro-optics, direction finders) and target neutralization effectors such as jammers and drone catchers.
Rohan Dearlove, Business Development Director, said :
“HENSOLDT exhibited at DVD 2018 and now that COVID has subsided, we are delighted to be back once more to participate in this prestigious event. Our UK footprint has expanded through the intervening years through investment in our UK facilities and SQEP, and we relish the opportunity to showcase best-in-class technologies relevant to the British Army’s current requirements and future programmes.”
