BAE Systems’ prototype payload was successfully integrated onto the International Space Station (ISS) as part of a mission to demonstrate improvements in atmospheric temperature profiling and environmental monitoring capabilities, among other missions and technologies.
The payload launched in collaboration with the ISS National Laboratory and Airbus U.S. Space & Defense, Inc., which supplied the hardware facility for the mission. The payload arrived safely to the ISS as part of a NASA commercial resupply mission, where it was integrated onto the station with the help of astronauts onboard. The payload is functioning as planned. |
Blippy3 is obviously a bit too stupid to understand what Lammy said:
“I speak not only as a Briton, as a Londoner, and as a foreign secretary.
“I stand here also as a black man whose ancestors were taken in chains from Africa, at the barrel of a gun to be enslaved, whose ancestors rose up and fought in a great rebellion of the enslaved.
“Imperialism. I know it when I see it. And I will call it out for what it is.”
I can only imagine that the greatest speech blippy3 has ever made is "salt and vinegar?". |
Blippy, you're a bit confused. Lammy didn't phone the Russian. He berated him for using his phone during the meeting. As for the remark about Lammy's racial identity, you have missed the point entirely. I don't like Lammy. And previously I've been very critical of him. But his speech at the UN was powerful and eloquent. He criticised Putin and called out his crimes. I agreed with every word. Bravo Mr Lammy. |
Lammy phones Russian representative saying that he stands there as a black man. It's true. I'm not making this up. He really is the gift that keeps on giving, isn't he? |
rod, in 2021 I sold a few BA. and bought RR @ 1.41, best buy I ever made! |
Oh the conundrum Ribble of where to invest!
Just 6 months till my retirement and still nothing. Is what I see in front of me just a 'mirage' ?
Surely soon or nothing at all !!
I would like to thank all at Rolls Royce for making my gains, I often see their humble employee's in the shop, but BAe have been good! |
Thanks rech and blippy. I shall hold off investing in either for now. RW |
BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems Inc., Nashua, New Hampshire, is awarded a not-to-exceed $34,300,000 stand-alone contract for the procurement of six multifunctional module mast (MMM) tactical modules and MMM payload modules.

Working capital (Navy) funds in the amount of $16,807,000 will be obligated at time of award as an undefinitized contract action, and funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.

@rech CCL I totted up the figures for net profit for 2014 to 2023. The whole thing came to a net LOSS of £11.4b. Share count is up nearly 80% since 2018 and net debt has nearly tripled. Yowsers. |
CCL has been destroying shareholder value for five years, and didn't create any during the previous five. All other metrics are bad: ROCE, ROE, debt trajectory, interest cover, and to top it off, it seems to have been issuing shares just to stay afloat.
I'd suggest that the shareholder perks are a beguiling sop. |
Hmm, here's a conundrum. BA. share price currently sat at 1270, Carnival (CCL) also sitting @ 1270. Which one to choose? Other than the div CCL also offers more stockholder "perks". |
BAE Systems Australia has introduced the Autonomous Tactical Light Armour System (ATLAS) Collaborative Combat Variant (CCV), an uncrewed ground vehicle designed to support military operations and reduce risks to soldiers.
The ATLAS CCV is an 8×8 modular vehicle capable of operating autonomously in both on- and off-road environments.
It is intended to complement crewed military assets, such as infantry fighting vehicles and main battle tanks, by performing tasks that would typically expose soldiers to danger. |
The UK government has reaffirmed its commitment to the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), with significant financial investment and ongoing support for the British defence industry, despite earlier concerns that the upcoming defence review could impact the programme.
In response to a written question from James Cartlidge, Conservative MP for South Suffolk, Maria Eagle, the Minister of State for Defence, confirmed that the UK is set to invest over £1.3 billion in GCAP and the associated Team Tempest R&D programme during the current financial year. |
Don't be so reticent Gecko, tell us what you really think of Lammy. |

May I refer the Honourable Member to my comment above.
Lots more from Lammy where that came from!!! |
Ribble has yet to advise/deny that BA. makes pagers |
A new explainer published by the Council on Geostrategy urges Britain to increase its warship production in response to escalating global security challenges.
Authored by Dr Emma Salisbury, a Sea Power Research Fellow, the report highlights the critical need for the Royal Navy to enhance its capacity, mass, and firepower to safeguard the UK’s interests at home and abroad. |
