News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

SIC "Zhukovsky Institute" continues research work on the formation of the appearance of promising models of next-generation aircraft.

The British Ministry of Defense is exploring the possibility of using a quantum computer to control a tank — in other words, the British military wants to make it "smart".

However, according to its measurable parameters, the Skyranger 30 looks advanced except in the Western world. It seems that an annoying inaccuracy has crept into the manufacturer's assessment.

Rostec United Engine Corporation introduces unique technologies for the production of blades – a key part of modern aircraft engines. The creation of a blade requires the most complex calculations in the design, the highest precision in manufacturing, as well as expensive equipment and rare metals.

The Progress Research Institute of Technology under the management of RT-Capital of Rostec State Corporation has developed a vacuum electron beam 3D printer with an all-angle robot manipulator. The equipment allows you to "grow" heavy-duty parts made of titanium and heat-resistant steel for the aviation and space industry.

The Israeli defense company SpearUAV has developed an autonomous Ninox 103 drone launched from under water to perform reconnaissance functions.

Robotics manufacturer Milrem Robotics (Estonia) has presented its new development — an autonomous robot scout THeMIS Observe based on the modular platform THeMIS UGV.

Researchers from the Norwegian University of Stavinger have converted a university gas mini-CHP plant and transferred it to work on hydrogen instead of natural gas. Moreover, 100% pure hydrogen, without any impurities. According to Professor Mohsen Asadi, this is the first such achievement in the world.

Zipline has developed an acoustic system for detecting other aircraft for drones. It uses microphones and allows you to detect other devices within a radius of two kilometers, as well as automatically adjust the flight path to avoid a collision, according to a press release from the company.

Specialists of the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of the Order of Zhukov have developed a project of an amphibious buggy - a six—wheeled all-terrain vehicle designed to move through difficult terrain, including on water, and conduct battles as part of tactical groups, follows from a document published on the Rospatent website.

Special forces units of the Russian army in the future may receive a new amphibious buggy, specially designed for use in difficult terrain. Information about the new development is posted on the Rospatent website.

The last time a German tank received the name "Panther" was in the 1940s, during World War II, and Rheinmetall-Borsig, the predecessor of the developer and the current novelty, developed weapons for it.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has approved the creation of three spacecraft for the Comet Interceptor project. They will be launched into space in 2029 and will go to the second Lagrange point in the Sun—Earth system. There, the probes will be waiting for their target — a comet from the outer region of the Solar System or an interstellar object, according to the agency's website.

New data indicate that the actual number of fighters of this type was previously estimated incorrectly. During the special operation in Ukraine, the Russian Air Force used a link of four Su-57 fighters, linking it into a single information network aimed at destroying the opponent's air defense facilities.

How the Su-57 fighter can get an "infinite missile arm"

During a special operation in Ukraine, the Russian military deployed a link of four fifth-generation Su-57 fighters linked into a "unified information network" in order to destroy air defense facilities. What does the use of "network" tactics mean - in the material of the "Newspaper.Ru».

Specialists of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky (part of the Research Center "Institute named after N.E. Zhukovsky") investigated the strength characteristics of the demonstrator of the power structure of the wing (caisson) of a promising small aircraft for local air lines.

Modern manufacturers of civil aviation equipment are making increasingly high demands on the accuracy of the characteristics obtained during aerodynamic studies of aircraft models.

Russian Su-57s began to carry out combat missions during a special operation in Ukraine with links. These fighters are connected into a single information network, with the help of which they can exchange data on the radar field, identified targets, coordinate actions with other participants in hostilities. What is the value of testing fifth-generation combat aircraft in real combat conditions?

Artificial intelligence can calculate the difficult-to-predict trajectory of hypersonic missiles in 15 seconds, thereby giving air defense systems the opportunity to shoot them down on approach.

The DAVINCI project team, which will study the atmosphere and surface of Venus, has published a detailed work plan. It is expected that the spacecraft will be launched into space in 2029, and the descent probe will enter the atmosphere of Venus in the summer of 2031, where it will work for more than an hour, reaching the surface of the planet in the area of Tessera Alpha. The article was published in the journal The Planetary Science Journal.
