🇺🇸🇬🇧📡 L3Harris Technologies has tested a new electronic warfare (EW) tool in London that helps forces see and control the invisible battles happening in the airwaves. The system, called DiSCO, pulls together signals from radios and radars to create a live picture of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). In simple terms, it lets commanders spot activity across the spectrum and respond faster to enemy moves.

We've set a new standard in infrared tracking with our Infrared Search and Track system. It gives warfighters clear vision while staying undetected, using advanced passive sensors and real-time processing. Our successful flight test proved it can silently detect, identify, and track targets day or night. This is a new era in electronic warfare, ensuring safety and surprise for U.S. and allied forces.

Flying platforms are the perfect vantage point for Electronic Warfare ✈️—they dominate the electromagnetic spectrum from above, sensing, protecting, and disrupting across vast distances. Yet altitude alone isn’t enough anymore. To stay ahead, these systems must evolve as fast as the threats they face. That’s where software-defined systems and open architectures come in ⚙️. In a world where hardware ages quickly, adaptability becomes the true currency of power. A software-defined platform can reconfigure itself mid-mission—switching roles, updating threat libraries, or changing functions—without waiting for the next hardware upgrade. Open architectures 🔄 take this even further. They turn isolated systems into ecosystems, where components from different developers can integrate seamlessly. It’s like replacing a rigid machine with a living organism—one that grows, adapts, and learns with every new challenge. As discussed in this EA-37B pilot interview (link below) , this philosophy is already shaping the future of air dominance. The ability to update faster than an adversary can innovate defines who stays relevant in tomorrow’s battlespace. Relevance in defense is no longer built once—it’s rewritten in code, every day. https://lnkd.in/d9frXfVm #ElectronicWarfare #Avionics #DefenseInnovation #OpenArchitecture #SoftwareDefinedSystems #AerospaceEngineering #DigitalTransformation

🐸💥 Allen Control Systems (ACS) won a contract with defense firm MANTECH to integrate its Bullfrog autonomous weapon system onto maritime platforms, enabling it to support US Special Operations Forces (SOF) operating at sea. Bullfrog pairs AI, computer vision, and proprietary control software to turn legacy and modern weapons into precision engagement tools. It is built to counter Class 1-3 UAS or those weighing up to 1,320 pounds. 🗣️ Mike Wior, co-founder and CEO of ACS: “Maritime SOF units operate in some of the most complex and high-stakes environments our military faces, and as such they are among those units on the forefront of adopting mission-critical technology.”

“Autonomous cruise missiles at $250K per unit. JASSM-ER costs $1.5M+. Tomahawk runs $2M. The math is brutal for legacy primes.” Anduril flips the script to inject swarm capability en masse at fraction of the cost of systems of the past. “Technical reality check. • 500+ nautical mile range (air-launched) • Lattice AI enables GPS-denied autonomy • 3D-printed composites slash production time • Modular payload: 100-150 lbs warhead or sensors.”
Anduril's Barracuda-500 Scales to 1,000+ Units in 2026. The $250K Missile That Changes Everything. Anduril announces mass production of autonomous cruise missiles at $250K per unit. JASSM-ER costs $1.5M+. Tomahawk runs $2M. The math is brutal for legacy primes. Technical reality check. • 500+ nautical mile range (air-launched) • Lattice AI enables GPS-denied autonomy • 3D-printed composites slash production time • Modular payload: 100-150 lbs warhead or sensors • Ground-launch from HIMARS, Patriot TELs The Taiwan deal rewrites the playbook. NCSIST localizes 100% production starting 2026. Zero U.S. components. Full supply chain independence. $33B special funding already allocated. Supply chain approach matters. • 70% COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) components • No rare earth dependencies • Parallel production across 6 sub-systems • 3x surge capacity built-in Why now? China's A2/AD bubble requires mass. Traditional missiles can't scale. Anduril's targeting 5,000 units if orders materialize. At $250K each, that's affordable attrition warfare. Timeline accelerates. • March 2025: USAF validates manufacturing • September 2025: Ground-launch tests succeed • Q1 2026: Deliveries begin • 100+ units/month by mid-2026 Three strategic shifts emerge. 1. Cost enables swarm tactics vs high-value targets 2. Software-defined updates counter evolving threats 3. ITAR-free variants unlock allied production Are your supply chains ready for a 10x increase in volume? Components available without China dependencies? The missile race just became a manufacturing race.

This isn't just about a cheaper missile; it's a fundamental shift in the economics of warfare, moving from exquisite hardware to attritable, software-defined mass. The cost comparison alone is staggering: $250K for a Barracuda versus $1.5M+ for a JASSM-ER. Two points stand out: - Manufacturing as Strategy: Anduril's focus on 3D printing, COTS components, and supply chain independence isn't a cost-saving measure; it's the core strategic advantage. It enables the scale required for modern deterrence and conflict. - Exportability by Design: The ITAR-free option and the Taiwan co-production deal show they're building for allied interoperability from day one, not as an afterthought. This dramatically accelerates capability deployment for partners. #Anduril #DefenseTech

Another paradigm shift from Anduril’s “hyper-congruent” engineering teams in the way supply chains for our DoD will work - turbocharged with AI and Digital Twin designs for leaner and much faster manufacturing value chains.
