News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

Russia's security directly depends on innovations in this area

The XI Moscow Conference on International Security was held in the context of a radical change in the military-political situation in the world, the formation of a real multipolar world order. Heads and representatives of defense departments, international organizations, experts and political scientists exchanged views on strengthening constructive cooperation in the new realities. Hybrid warfare strategies have become one of these realities.

Russian soldiers on the front line began to receive factory ammunition for copters

The Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the development of a Ukrainian version of the Lancet kamikaze drone called Perun, the project is currently being scaled, RIA Novosti reports.

The researchers also expect to test a laser optical communication terminal on the Russian space station

The National Center for Physics and Mathematics (NCFM) plans to conduct scientific experiments using the capabilities of the Russian Orbital Station (ROS), which will speed up technology transfer. The research will concern the impact of space processes on living systems, as well as laser space communications and quantum technologies, Scientific director of the NCFM Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Sergeev told reporters on the sidelines of the Technoprom forum.

The conflict in Ukraine has brought to a new level the use of unmanned aerial vehicles of both air and sea of various types. Both sides are actively using them and are working on the development of new and improvement of existing drones.

Back in mid-July of this year, it became known that the specialists of the Russian S7 Group began to create a domestic training aircraft, which is so lacking in the country — it was named S7 Tango.

The Kalashnikov Concern presented a new modification of the Cape camouflage system, which interested Spanish military journalists.

The Keldysh Center has moved to the development of cellular material instead of layered, said the general director of the enterprise Vladimir Koshlakov

The Keldysh Center (a developer of the material, part of Roscosmos) will create a new design of self-healing material that will be used in Russian spacesuits. This was reported to TASS by the general director of the enterprise Vladimir Koshlakov.

The development is based on special personal devices

Russia has created a search engine to detect wounded soldiers on the battlefield — it is based on special beacons. The new technology works secretly from the enemy, and at the moments of shelling allows you to search for injured fighters from drones. For details on how the system created by specialists from Novosibirsk works, as well as what are the prospects for its application in the military and civilian spheres, read the Izvestia material.

The US Air Force has announced that it has chosen the aviation startup JetZero to design and assemble a full-size demonstrator of a promising tanker aircraft with a combined body-wing (BlendedWingBody, BWB). The goal is for the aircraft, made according to the "flying wing" scheme and already received the unofficial designation XBW-1, to begin flying by 2027.

A self-adjusting broadband communication system capable of combining control and transmission of information from more than 20 drones has been developed at NPP Radar MMS.

The Army 2023 forum has recently ended, where a large number of novelties in the field of weapons, military and special equipment were presented. Among them is the hypersonic aircraft GAL.

The scientific and production enterprise "Radar mms" has developed an electric drone that is maximally adapted to use without an operator.

Recently, Russian military-industrial companies have been demonstrating an increasing number of novelties in the field of new technologies. One of them is a special complex for transporting combat FPV drones "Admiral-Aircraft Carrier".

Within the framework of the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2023", the hydroacoustic station "Mayak-2014" was presented, designed to detect small underwater targets. The system has undergone a deep modernization, as a result of which the dimensions of the station have been reduced and the accuracy of detecting underwater objects has been increased.

American mathematicians conducted a simulation of the long-term life of the crew of an inhabited base on the Red Planet. The simulation showed that a stable functioning of the mission would require a team of 22 people, unless there were neurotics among them.

The special operation in Ukraine has shown that in a modern military conflict, it is almost impossible to gain the upper hand over the enemy without the use of a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles of various types and purposes. Realizing this, the political and military leadership of most countries frantically rushed to count the number and seek opportunities to equip their armies with combat drones.

TASS — about the bright unmanned novelties of the international military-technical forum

It is obvious that at present unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are making another revolution on the battlefield, just as many years ago it was only the planes and tanks that appeared.

More than 1.5 thousand Russian and foreign manufacturers demonstrated their products at the exhibition

83 foreign companies participated in the exhibition exposition of the international forum "Army-2023" — this is twice as much as last year.

Vladimir Koshlakov, General Director of the M. V. Keldysh Center, said that work on the preparation of the experiment is being carried out jointly with the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center

Tests of self-healing material on board the International Space Station (ISS) will take place in two stages. This was reported to TASS by Vladimir Koshlakov, General Director of the M. V. Keldysh Center (developer of the material, part of Roscosmos).
