BAE'S ARCHER: The U.S. Army's 155 Millimeter Super Gun of the Future?

BAE Systems has offered the ARCHER, which is already in service with the Swedish Army with the highest technical and manufacturing readiness levels, for participation in the Army’s planned shoot-off evaluation.

“ARCHER is a mature, proven system that can quickly get into the fight and strike enemy targets at long ranges, with a high rate of fire and very fast displacement times, and is made for combat against large power adversaries,” said Chris King, director of business development at BAE Systems, via a statement.

BAE Systems has been awarded a contract to develop an attritable air vehicle system for the U.S Skyborg programme.

Under this programme, which has a contract ceiling of up to $400 million, the company will compete to develop a digital design for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of autonomous functions.

My thoughts also wad. I have noticed that it is not limited to this thread.

Presumably somebody has set up a command that automatically ticks every new posting and runs a search every half hour or so? Or they have a very sad hobby!

Wonder if 3176 will get a thumbs down?

Just seen the Blackrock announcement from yesterday. Looks like they added just short of 1%, circa 30m shares. Must've been an off-market purchase as I didn't see that sort of volume go through over last couple of days.

Is this the future?

U.S. Navy and Royal Navy commit to developing AI and energy weapons

[northernhills] 22/10/2020 16:30

The ISA has quite a few of these now

[geckotheglorious] 22/10/2020 16:25

Dope.
I'm assuming it has changed price wise as am seeing down 11p odd.

Cheap as chips yes Bookster.
Sorely tempted have to say.

The US defence side will be firing on all guns :)

[ribblewader] 22/10/2020 16:22

This looks a great time to buy.

[bookbroker] 22/10/2020 13:08

Cheap as chips, let’s hope they are worth it!

[dope007] 22/10/2020 13:03

Only half the fall Gecko

[1nf3rn0] 22/10/2020 12:53

In a Credit Suisse note yesterday, top 10 bets for 2021, they mentioned BAE as being "abnormally cheap". Even cheaper today.

[charlie_324] 22/10/2020 12:02

I have just freed up some ISA funds. Time to add more BA.

[geckotheglorious] 22/10/2020 11:10

Looking tasty. Tempted to buy some.

[geckotheglorious] 22/10/2020 11:09

Ex divi today - 9.4p/sh.
Explains most of the fall.

[bookbroker] 22/10/2020 10:30

Cheap, cheap, and cheaper maybe, but these are now in big value territory. Their end markets are as in need of supplies as ever, world’s borders as vulnerable as ever

[dope007] 22/10/2020 10:04

445p seriously? Just added a few

[dalep716] 22/10/2020 08:15

I wish you well with that hope but the fact the UK and many other countries are essentially broke suggests otherwise.

[wad collector] 21/10/2020 19:52

Yeah but did you retire because it made you rich , or were you retired? :-)
