Foreword

Welcome to the new issue of Soldier Modernisation, this issue is packed with information from across the globe looking at what is happening in the global dismounted soldier market. The programmes section has been completely updated, so much so in fact that we have a smaller version in the Journal and the complete version can be viewed online at www.soldiermod.com.

On the main editorial pieces we look at refining call-in targeting with the Australian Army, the US Space Force article assesses what has been achieved over the 5 years they have been in service.

Dstl talks about how wargaming is strengthening defence while the US Marines article discusses their new combat technology.

DARPA announces its new Human-AI Communications for Deontic Reasoning Devops program and we look at the US Army's new systems deployed by the 10th Mountain Division.

Technology is full of new innovative solutions, Excelitas Qioptiq discuss the TALON fused weapon sight and we have a piece on seamless integration and network interpretation from Ultra. There's also the digital revolution of combat optics, hybrid connector solutions, innovative light transportation, wearable energy solutions and counter UAS.

As with all issues view our diary page for events that we are supporting globally, please send any comments, good or bad, to me as this is how we improve our information to you.

Wishing you all a great 2025.

Best,

Robbie
