General Dynamics Land Systems showing a neat evolution of the 8x8. A few design elements here are interesting: 1. Moving the driver out of the engine compartment zone. The two cooling louvred areas on the upper glacis show the driver position must be back inside the crew compartment. Getting the driver away from the front wheel massively increases crew protection (if not vehicle), & placing them next to the TC improves coordination between the two. 2. A really neat integration of Iron Fist APS. A massive improvement over the Iron Curtain approach trialled on Stryker years ago. Now need the APS tuned to drones & LMs, not just ATGMs & RPG. Even an RPG moves 3x the speed of most UxS. 3. Hybrid electric drive will deliver a great balance between fuel efficiency & power generation whilst maintaining tractive capabilities. Now link them together as a smart grid within the CP….. Australian Army Adam J. Hepworth, PhD Alex Palmer James Garth BAE Systems Australia

Come for a demo and learn about Cyera! #cyera #rsac #allobonjour

come see the team and discuss how this technology can change your training landscape!

....long post incoming! The emphasis on tough, realistic training exercises that foster innovation and creativity is vital. Training needs to simulate the complexity and unpredictability of modern battlefields to better prepare our troops. Incorporating new technologies, whether in virtual simulations or in-the-field exercises, can help soldiers face a variety of scenarios, ensuring they're not just physically prepared but also mentally resilient and adaptive. Equally important is ensuring the best medical care on the battlefield. Battlefield medicine has to be as advanced and innovative as our weaponry. Quick, effective treatment can mean the difference between life and death, and also significantly reduce the long-term impact of injuries. By focusing on medical advancements, from better wound care products to rapid infection prevention solutions, we not only save lives but ensure that soldiers can return to the fight sooner and in better condition. our preferred partners that are attending #NGUAS24, are brining just those capabilities and so much more!

🚀 𝗚𝗩𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 & 𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗨𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰! 🚀 𝗚𝗩𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 was an outstanding event that truly showcased the alignment between industry and government. The messaging from PEO GCV was focused, concise, and right on point, and from the conversations I had with numerous vendors, it was clear that everyone was on the same page and moving in the same direction. One of the most impressive aspects of this year’s 𝗚𝗩𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 was witnessing how synchronized contractors and government personnel were on critical topics like 𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗔, 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, and 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. The collaboration was tangible, and it’s clear that the focus is on driving innovation and maintaining our military’s edge. A standout moment for me was connecting Petersen Inc. with various OEMs to discuss their impressive production capacity and capabilities. Their ability to address urgent needs for fabrication and manufacturing is unmatched, and it’s clear they’re ready to meet the demands of the defense industry. Another highlight was the WITTENSTEIN North America Booth, where their precision gearboxes and actuators took center stage. Whether it’s for directed energy, robotic arms, or ammo handling, Wittenstein’s solutions are second to none. WITTENSTEIN group The biggest standout during GVSETS was SVT Robotics, now a new PM13 Preferred Partner, whose innovative SOFTBOT® platform is making plug-and-play technology a reality. Their software acts as a translator, allowing divergent systems to quickly and efficiently communicate. It’s technologies like this that will ensure our military remains the best in the world. As GVSETS 2024 comes to a close, I’m already looking forward to 𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗨𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰!

We closed out our time at the Association of the United States Army - AUSA Conference in DC yesterday and hit the ground running in Boston for Major Cities Chiefs Association Conference and IACP Conference 2024 Boston. These next few days are packed with innovations, but here’s what I’m fired up about: our new immersive reality journey. This isn’t just another tech demo—it’s a project I’m incredibly passionate about, showing how technology has redefined conflict and protection through the ages. From the tools of the stone age to the cutting-edge tech of today, it’s a raw look at how innovation has shaped public safety—and now, we’re standing at the brink of something even bigger: the Intelligence Revolution. Axon is leading that charge, and if you’re at IACP, you have to swing by booth 531 and experience what’s next. I’ve already seen how it moves people—now it’s your turn. Come see us this weekend if you’re in town. #Axon #ProtectLife #IACP2024

MODSIM World 24 in Norfolk will supply a forum for cutting-edge advances in industry approaches to modeling and simulation. I anticipate stimulating conversations examining strategies for M&S support to wargaming and experimentation for the US Army. But I am also excited that NATO’s Next Generation of M&S continues to be discussed and researched by the NATO Industry Advisory Group SG-296 and will expound on the final report at MODSIM World Five subgroups of the study: Military Thread - (MG1) Military Applications and Use Cases - (MG2) NexGen M&S Enablers (DOTMLPF-I) Technological Thread - (TG1) Digital Twins, Digital Transformation, Digital Infostructure (Architecture, Data, Security), and Military Cyberverse - (TG2) AI and Machine Learning, Autonomy in M&S systems, Autonomy in Data Processing - (TG3) Immersive Technologies—Future Visuals, haptic feedback, voice, biometrics, and extended reality #wargaming #modelingandsimulation #nato #AI #ML #DigitalTwins #Digitaltransformation NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG) https://modsimworld.org/
