Le ministère britannique de la Défense (MoD) a récemment annoncé avoir choisi le pistolet Glock 17 Gen 4 pour remplacer le Browning L9A1 qui sert d’arme de poing au sein de la British Army depuis plusieurs décennies. Le contrat, accordé en 2012, est d’un montant de 9 millions de livres et prévoit la livraison de 25.000 pistolets. Au moins 2.000 exemplaires doivent être prochainement reçus par la British Army, qui a prévu d’en doter ses troupes déployées en Afghanistan. Justement, pour les besoins de son contingent sur le théâtre afghan, quelques unités avaient été dotées du SIG Sauer P226 dans le cadre d’une acquision en urgence opérationnelle. Le Glock 17 Gen 4, de calibre 9 mm, est plus précis et léger que le Browning, tout en ayant un chargeur d’une capacité de 17 coups (contre 13). Cette arme équipe également les forces de police britanniques.

One of the most striking warships ever built is coming together in the little coastal town of Bath, Maine. The major components of the 610-foot-long ZUMWALT (DDG 1000) — a “destroyer” in name only — have been assembled this winter at the General Dynamics shipyard of Bath Iron Works, and the ship’s stark, tumblehome hull and superstructure is now together. These views were taken on Jan. 15, 2013, shortly after the deckhouse – built at Huntington Ingalls in Gulfport, Miss. — was lowered onto the hull. The ZUMWALT will displace more than 15,600 tons full load, bigger than most World War II heavy cruisers. Eighty feet wide with a draft of more than 27 feet, the ship’s turbine generators will produce 78 megawatts of power, one of the largest electrical loads ever put to sea. The ship’s integrated power system will allow much of that power to be directed as needed, perhaps to future laser or directed energy weapons. Construction of the ZUMWALT officially began in February 2009, and the ship is to be launched into the Kennebec River this summer. Delivery is to take place later in 2014, but it will likely be another two or three years before the ship and its host of new-technology systems is ready for service. Two more ships of the class, the MICHAEL MONSOOR (DDG 1001) and LYNDON B. JOHNSON (DDG 1002), also are under construction at Bath. No more ships of this class are currently planned. Via Patrick H.

Cassidian Optronics GmbH, previously known as Carl Zeiss Optronics GmbH, will supply the new "Attica" thermal imaging unit for the commander's periscope in the Bundeswehr's Leopard 2 battle tanks. After extensive trials, the German procurement authority BAAINBw (Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support) has awarded this Cassidian subsidiary an order to deliver the "Attica" to a value of almost 7 million euros. The third generation of thermal imaging equipment from Cassidian Optronics thus becomes the standard for the commander's Peri R17 periscope, which is also supplied by Cassidian Optronics.
