Flux Defense Unveils the P365 Ultra-Light Chassis System: Introducing the VDW (Vehicle Defensive Weapon) – The Lightest, Most Concealable PDW Redefining Personal and Vehicle Defense

November 24th, 2025

SLC, Utah—November 24, 2025—Flux Defense, a leader in innovative firearm accessories, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking P365 Ultra-Light Chassis System. This revolutionary system introduces a new class of weapon: the V.D.W. (Vehicle Defensive Weapon). Designed to fit in a glovebox, center console, or under the seat, its compact size allows for quick deployment and effective use inside a vehicle’s cabin. The P365 Ultra-Light transforms the popular Sig P365 platform into an exceptionally lightweight and high-performance Personal Defense Weapon (PDW), offering unparalleled speed, control, and modularity for tactical and recreational users alike. Adding even greater value and immediate usability, the system ships complete with Flux Defense’s new 2.0 adjustable IWB/OWB holster.

The Flux Defense P365 Ultra-Light Chassis System is engineered to be a standalone component, utilizing existing P365 firearms, slides, barrels, and magazines (not included). This system delivers double the rounds of a standard pistol, increased accuracy, control, and velocity, all within a package that is 3 inches shorter and 85 percent lighter than an MP5K. Weighing in at a mere 8.7 ounces, it’s an ideal choice for enhanced maneuverability and reduced fatigue.

Key Performance Features and Specifications Include:

Patented Speedload System: Facilitates faster reloads than traditional pistols or other PDWs, ensuring operators maintain an advantage.

Enhanced Capacity: Supports up to 50 rounds on the gun with optional magazine extensions, providing extended engagement capability.

Superior Control: A built-in shroud ensures a secure C-clamp grip and promotes flatter shooting, significantly improving accuracy and follow-up shots.

Lightweight, Durable Construction: Crafted from military-grade glass-filled nylon and S7 steel, featuring a Type 3 hard anodized shroud for exceptional resilience without added bulk.

Optimal Velocity Option: Features an optional 6-inch barrel to increase velocity, surpassing the performance of an MP5K.

Included 2.0 Adjustable Holster: Ships with the new 2.0 holster, designed for ultimate flexibility. It can be hard-mounted in the vehicle for quick access or carried with you, supporting both inside (IWB) and outside the waistband (OWB) configurations.

Compact & Extendable Design:

Collapsed: 9.75″ L x 4″ W x 1.375″ H

Extended: 18.5″ L x 4″ W x 1.25″ H

Ergonomic Length of Pull: 13.5″ for comfortable and stable handling.

“We are incredibly excited to introduce the P365 Ultra-Light Chassis System and define a new category with our VDW – Vehicle Defensive Weapon,” said Cory David, CEO at Flux Defense. “Our focus was on creating a system that is not only extraordinarily light and concealable but also significantly enhances performance, speed, and user control. This system is small enough to deploy and shoot inside the cabin, fitting perfectly in a glovebox or center console. By including our new 2.0 adjustable holster that can be hard-mounted in a vehicle or carried, we’re ensuring users have an immediate, versatile solution right out of the box. The road is dangerous. Protect your ride. This chassis empowers users to push the boundaries of their P365’s capabilities, making it an even more formidable tool.”

Important Compatibility Notes: The P365 Ultra-Light Chassis is designed for use with specific P365 slides, including P365XL, TACOPS, and P365 FUSE. It is not compatible with short (standard) P365 slides or 12-15 round magazines, working optimally with 17-21 round P365 magazines.

The Flux Defense P365 Ultra-Light Chassis System is now available for purchase through authorized dealers and online at fluxdefense.com.

NIOA, Defence Sign Long-Term SMALL Arms Support Deal

November 24th, 2025

NIOA has signed a new long-term small arms support contract with the Australian Department of Defence.

The new support contract engages Australian-owned NIOA for the through-life support of select ADF in-service weapons as well as the next generation LAND300 Lethality Program systems until 2032.

NIOA was appointed by Defence in September 2022 as the prime contractor for Tranche 1 Stage 2 of LAND300 which includes new sniper systems, surveillance and target acquisition devices, pistols, shotguns and personal defence weapons for Australia’s soldiers, sailors and aviators.

NIOA General Manager – Weapons and Munitions Mick Ahern said: “NIOA’s team of expert Project Managers and Engineers have built a unique skill set in planning, conducting and delivering small arms test programs to meet LAND300 and wider Defence needs.

“This new contract marks an important milestone in the delivery of new capability and the continued support to existing small arms capabilities for the Australian warfighter while recognising the efforts of and confidence the Commonwealth has in NIOA’s Weapons and Munitions teams.”

European Consortium Launches iMUGS2 to Advance Interoperable Unmanned Ground Systems

November 23rd, 2025

A European consortium uniting leading defence, research, and technology organisations from across the Union has launched the iMUGS2 project to develop the next generation of interoperable unmanned ground systems, following its successful proposal to the European Commission under its European Defence Fund (EDF) programme. The project is coordinated by Milrem Robotics.

Building on the achievements of the first iMUGS project, iMUGS2 aims to enhance Europe’s autonomy and robotics capabilities by developing a scalable, interoperable, and secure system-of-systems architecture for both unmanned and manned platforms. The project reinforces Europe’s technological sovereignty in key defence areas, including AI-driven autonomy, systems integration, communications, and command and control.

“With iMUGS2, Europe takes another significant step towards developing truly interoperable and scalable robotic forces that enhance the continent’s defence capabilities,” said Raul Rikk, Capability Development Director at Milrem Robotics. “The project promotes innovation and cooperation among European nations, ensuring that future AI-based autonomous systems can operate seamlessly together on the battlefield.”

iMUGS2 begins immediately with extensive conceptual, operational, and technical development across multiple domains. Partners will design and refine operational concepts, system architectures, and technological solutions that advance manned–unmanned teaming, autonomous functions, secure communications, and electronic protection.

In parallel, the project focuses on system integration, lifecycle efficiency, and interoperability, laying the groundwork for upcoming demonstrations and capability deployment across Europe’s defence landscape. These developments will ensure resilient, cost-effective, and future-ready unmanned systems.

About iMUGS2

With a total value of approximately €55 million and nearly €50 million in EDF funding, iMUGS2 pursues three strategic objectives: to develop and demonstrate combat-ready unmanned ground systems that support dismounted troops; to define operational concepts showing how unmanned ground and aerial systems can improve infantry battalion operations and cross-domain cooperation; and to advance modular, open architectures and lifecycle management frameworks that ensure interoperability across both legacy and future platforms.

About the Consortium:

The iMUGS2 Consortium comprises 29 partners from 15 European Union member states. The group includes large corporations, mid-sized businesses, SMEs, and research organisations. Each partner provides leading expertise in their respective fields, supporting a comprehensive vision throughout the project’s lifecycle. This diversity allows the consortium to tackle potential challenges and deliver strategic, effective solutions.

The iMUGS2 Consortium includes the following entities: AVL List, Bittium Wireless, Bureau Veritas, Czech Technical University in Prague, Cybernetica, Delft Dynamics, Diehl Defence, dotOcean, Elettronica, Escribano Mechanical and Engineering, FN Herstal, GMV, Huta Stalowa Wola, Insta Advance,  Integrated Systems Development, John Cockerill Defense, Kepla, KNDS France, KNDS Germany, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, Latvijas Mobilais Telefons, ?ukasiewicz – PIAP, Milrem Robotics (project coordinator),  Nortal (Talgen Cybersecurity), Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, the Royal Military Academy of Belgium, Safran Electronics & Defense, Svensk Konstruktionstjänst and TNO.
