The first MH-139A Grey Wolf arrives at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., March 5, 2024. The crew flew roughly 1,600 miles over a course of five days from Duke Field, Florida, where the aircraft underwent extensive training and preparation prior to its arrival. The MH-139A Grey Wolf was designed to be the replacement for the Air Force’s aging fleet of UH-1N Huey helicopters. It provides the ability to cruise 50% faster and farther than the Huey helicopters, while also having a 30% larger cabin and capability to lift 5,000 pounds more.

The world was stunned by UK Ministry of Defence’s demonstration of the DragonFire LDEW system in action back in January, bringing science fiction to life and seemingly opening a new frontier in the battle against hostile drone incursions. DragonFire theoretically provides the solution to the challenge gripping allied militaries - how to ensure drone mitigation measures are not only effective but scalable, cost effective and reliable. Last week’s Counter UAS Technology Europe Conference featured unprecedented insight on the timeline accelerations, industry development and integration considerations that will determine how quickly we see LDEW systems deployed on the battlefield. Our exclusive piece summarises the perspective of leading military and industry experts including Group Captain Gary Darby MSyI MSc - UK Ministry of Defence, Lieutenant Commander Kieran Lewis - Royal Navy, Aaron Westman - BlueHalo, and Squadron Leader Hugo Morris - British Army, highlighting the challenges and opportunities anyone working in the C-UAS field will want to be aware of. ??Click here to download: https://lnkd.in/eqv3NiZ4. #counteruas #cuas #counterdrone #lasers #defence #ukmod #dragonfire (image source: Lockheed Martin)

Here's another unique model from Squadron Nostalgia, an A-6 model of NWC China Lake with a detailed cockpit interior. ? NAWS China Lake was a significant testing and evaluation site for the A-6 Intruder. The base provided vast desert ranges and controlled airspace ideal for testing the aircraft's capabilities, weapons systems, and tactics. China Lake was instrumental in developing and testing various weapons systems used by the A-6 Intruder. These included guided bombs, precision-guided munitions, and other advanced ordnance designed to enhance the aircraft's effectiveness in combat. The A-6 Intruder was developed by Grumman Aerospace Corporation (later Northrop Grumman) for the United States Navy. It was designed to be an all-weather, carrier-based attack aircraft capable of accurately delivering various weapons. ??????

Force Protection - Force Multiplier - Force Projection. As I read ‘Masters of the Air,’ and reflect on the 1930s when strategic and precision air bombing was a novel and yet unproven let alone accepted concept - I’m reminded of the nascency of autonomous human-machine teaming vehicles, uncrewed combat vehicles, and new forms of air power. There may be doubts and uncertainty about how Ghost Bat and similar concepts will change and progress air power - but there can be little doubt that it will. #airpower #airforce
