美国陆军协会的年度会议正在华盛顿举行,各国防承包商纷纷展示了他们的新武器、反制措施以及技术成果。

The annual Association of the U.S. Army conference is underway in Washington, and defense contractors are unveiling new weapons, countermeasures and milestones.

为何这很重要?:企业通常会将重大新闻和产品发布留到重要的展览或会议上进行;今年也不例外。以下是一些值得关注的内容:

Why it matters: Companies save big announcements for big shows. This year is no exception. Here's some of what stood out:

Heaviside Industries:该公司最近筹集了6000万美元,并推出了其首款精密弹药产品“Tyr”。该弹药可搭载四种Nammo弹头(包括反坦克弹头和反人员弹头),飞行时间超过1小时,飞行速度超过150英里/小时。

Heaviside Industries, which recently raised $60 million, rolled out Tyr, its first in a line of precision munitions. It works with four Nammo warheads, including anti-tank and anti-personnel variants, can fly for more than an hour and hits speeds greater than 150 mph.

Raytheon(隶属于RTX集团)展示了“Coyote Block 2C+RM”拦截系统:该系统采用了改进的火箭发动机等技术,提升了拦截器的性能。Raytheon的陆地与防空系统总裁Tom Laliberty向记者表示:“这一升级使得拦截器能够更快地发射、以更高的速度飞行,并且凭借其先进的制导系统,能够有效应对敌方使用的最先进的无人机。”

Raytheon, part of RTX, discussed Coyote Block 2C+RM, which involves a rocket motor and other improvements for the widely used interceptor. "You get upgraded propulsion for faster launch and higher-velocity flight, and with the seeker-warhead it really gets after the more cutting-edge drone capabilities we're seeing from the adversary," Tom Laliberty, president of land and air defense systems, told reporters.

Chaos Industries(估值超过40亿美元)推出了“Vespid”系列拦截器:这些拦截器价格低廉,且可以与该公司现有的多站式雷达系统配合使用。该公司表示初期可生产12,000枚,实际产量会根据市场需求进一步增加。

Chaos Industries, valued north of $4 billion, debuted Vespid, a line of cheap interceptors that work with its existing multistatic radar systems. The company said it can initiallyproduce 12,000 and push those numbers much higher depending on demand.

Anduril Industries发布了“Steelfin”导弹:这是一种可重新配置的两级地对空导弹,据该公司称,该导弹可与“Patriot”发射器、“Mk 41垂直发射系统”以及“Typhon”中程导弹系统兼容。Anduril的导弹高级总监Steve Milano表示:“我们计划在‘Arsenal-1’生产基地制造大部分零部件,再与少数合作伙伴完成最终集成。”

Anduril Industries uncloaked Steelfin, a reconfigurable, two-stage surface-to-air missile the neo-prime said is compatible with Patriot launchers, the Mk 41 Vertical Launch System and the Typhon mid-range capability. "The intent is to build most of the subassemblies and content at Arsenal-1, and then do the final integration with a handful of our partners," Steve Milano, Anduril's senior director of missiles, told reporters.

Leonardo DRS宣布开始批量生产“C-Band Extended Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar”(简称cxMHR):这款雷达能够同时检测、识别并跟踪多枚弹道导弹、巡航导弹、火箭弹和无人机,且可部署在单辆车上。

Leonardo DRS announced initial production of the C-Band Extended Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar. The cxMHR, as it's abbreviated, is designed to detect, identify and track multiple ballistic and cruise missiles, rockets and drones at the same time. It can be deployed on a single vehicle.
