BAE Systems unveils cannon and microwave systems to counter drone swarms at AUSA

BAE Systems unveiled two counter-drone defence systems at AUSA 2026 in Washington on October 12, 2026: the Multi-Domain Artillery Cannon System (MDACS) and the High Power Microwave (HPM). The company says the layered systems protect installations and forces against saturation drone attacks. MDACS is the kinetic layer. It fires the Hypervelocity Projectile for air defence and Scorpio-XR, a guided munition that doubles the range of existing 155mm cannon-launched projectiles, against ground targets. HPM is the directed energy layer. Over 99% of its components are commercial off-the-shelf, and it can defeat drone swarms for as long as power is available. "The threat environment is evolving faster than traditional procurement cycles can keep up with," said Jason Casciotti, vice president of BAE Systems' Weapon Systems product line.

BAE Systems secures $230M contract for 32 Amphibious Combat Vehicle Recovery variants

BAE Systems has secured a $230.1 million contract to produce 32 Amphibious Combat Vehicle chassis in the Recovery Mission Role variant (ACV-R) for the US Marine Corps. The ACV-R is designed to provide recovery capabilities, enabling the Marine Corps to rapidly recover and maintain vehicles to keep them mission-ready. The contract builds on BAE Systems' existing ACV portfolio, which includes variants such as the ACV-30, ACV-Personnel, and ACV-Command. The platform's modular design allows for various configurations to address different operational needs. Work will primarily take place in York, Pennsylvania, through 2029. The government will handle design and final integration of the Palfinger Crane at Anniston Army Depot before fielding the vehicles to the Fleet Marine Force.

BAE Systems wins $16M contract to deliver M-Code GPS for US Navy precision landing system

BAE Systems has secured a $16 million contract from Collins Aerospace to develop an M-Code GPS solution for the U.S. Navy's Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS). The company will provide its DIGAR-500M receiver to upgrade JPALS, enabling encrypted GPS signals with enhanced anti-jamming capabilities for precision aircraft carrier landings. JPALS is the Navy's next-generation GPS navigation system that guides aircraft to safe landings on carriers in all weather conditions. BAE Systems currently provides JPALS GPS solutions using SAASM receivers and will now transition to M-Code technology. The DIGAR-500M will support dual SAASM and M-Code operations with advanced digital beamforming protection. Work will be performed at BAE Systems' Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility.

BAE Systems' new IFF solution receives AIMS certification for F-16 Fighting Falcon

BAE Systems' AN/APX-127(V)1 Combined Interrogator Transponder has received AIMS certification from the Department of War for the US Air Force's F-16 Fighting Falcon. The system consolidates interrogator and transponder functions into one unit for highly manoeuvrable aircraft. The modernised IFF solution features open-system architecture allowing software upgrades, reducing hardware modification costs. It serves as a drop-in replacement for AN/APX-113(V), AN/APX-125(V), and AN/APX-126(V) systems currently operating on multiple US and international platforms. The device is AIMS Mark XIIB IFF certified with Mode S and Mode 5 for encrypted data exchange. BAE Systems expects to begin delivering the first 90-unit production lot this year from its Greenlawn, New York and Austin, Texas facilities.

BAE Systems delivers $17M combat vehicles to US Army in six months for battlefield modernization

BAE Systems delivered two Infantry Fighting Vehicles to the U.S. Army in April to support the Transformation in Contact 2.0 initiative. The vehicles were developed using $17 million of internal research and development funding, based on the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle chassis. Development took six months from start to delivery. The AMPV 30s feature KONGSBERG Medium Caliber Turrets, currently used by the U.S. Marine Corps. They include counter-unmanned aircraft systems capabilities, cross-platform target handoff systems, and 360-degree situational awareness cameras. The modular design allows integration of various mission equipment packages and adapts to over 30 different turret systems. These vehicles bring BAE Systems' total turreted AMPV prototypes to eight over the past two years.
