BAE Systems have flight tested their ‘Small Adaptive Bank of Electronic Resources’ (SABER) tech, paving the way for a critical software upgrade to the EC-37B Compass Call, a next-generation electronic warfare aircraft.

“Teams from both BAE Systems and the U.S. Air Force conducted tests on 11 flights of an EC-130H from Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona”, say BAE.

Pencils up: Bids are due for Army’s Bradley replacement and it’s only the beginning

WASHINGTON — The deadline to submit a preliminary design for the Army’s Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) is April 16, but the cutoff marks not the time for industry officials to put pencils down, but rather the time to pick them up.

Among the companies that have announced bid submissions or intentions to compete are prime defense contractors General Dynamics Land Systems, BAE Systems and a Rheinmetall North America-led team to include Raytheon, Textron and L3Harris.

Wish I could trade £100k at a time :)

[ribblewader] 15/4/2021 07:40

Well done Dope, many more profits to come I am sure

[chiefbrody] 14/4/2021 17:37

Don't blame you. If I had the wonga it would be short term trading only. 100K trade. Bang. Hold for a few days and make 5K. And then repeat when the share price is walked back down again. And repeat, again and again and again. Easy peasy.

Took profit, Probably way too early, but have found BAE to be a decent stock to trade in and out of recently

The U.S. Army has selected BAE Systems to deliver two prototype vehicles for evaluation as a potential solution for the Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) program.

Italian military chief envisions the Tempest fighter zapping missiles

Perhaps there's a bit of a fall-out from Bab's write-downs. Just a guess.

[hardm] 13/4/2021 11:06

Must be a lot of short selling with BAE. That coupled with any sort of negative news, and the price falls. Both ridiculous and frustrating really, as the average broker forecast is still around 630.

[ribblewader] 13/4/2021 08:22

Interesting, looking beyond F35.......

US reveals image of fighter that will replace the F-22

[northernhills] 12/4/2021 14:30

If it drops below £5 its a buy!

[geckotheglorious] 12/4/2021 11:26

Hahaha I hope that is not the case!

:)

Who knows these days.

[hardm] 12/4/2021 11:20

This might explain it. However, I also think that there are quite a few idiots in this world that think BAE systems has something to do with British Airways. Hence, every time airline stocks go down, BAE follows.

Defence contractor BAE Systems was down 1.2% after US President Joe Biden kept an effective lid on US military spending in his first budget draft Friday, proposing to spend USD715 billion, a marginal hike after sharp increases under predecessor Donald Trump.

Republican lawmakers quickly blasted the proposal as weakening the US military in the face of China's strong defence push, and demanded a larger budget.

For financial 2022, which starts October 1, Biden asked Congress to allot a total of USD753 billion for defence and national security.

Analysts at Jefferies explained: "If the US follows the UK example, there will be fewer armoured vehicles, soldiers and old platforms that cannot be upgraded to meet future needs. We believe the future front-line will include the former home front in what is dubbed the 'grey-zone', a nebulous area below open combat that includes Cyber.

"BAE may not be optimally positioned, nor does it look uniquely disadvantaged, but the transition phase could be challenging. We cannot lightly dismiss possible downgrades to consensus forecast sales and EBIT albeit we think the valuation already cautious."

Just rebought after selling last week. Valuation looks fine and will add again as in the past if it drops into the 400's

Hmm, my largest holding, but I'm not about to downsize it - a core holding in this ever-uncertain world.

Hello. Why the price drift? Seems to be plenty going on. Seller?

It has been confirmed that the aircraft carrier “will be ready” for her planned return to operations by May this year.

BAE Systems will design mechanisms for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that protect emerging wideband receivers from interference, enabling their use in contested and congested environments. DARPA awarded two contracts to BAE Systems totaling $5 million under the Wideband Adaptive RF Protection (WARP) program which is designed to develop wideband adaptive filtering and signal cancellation architectures to safeguard emerging wideband receivers against both external and self-interference.

STUTTGART, Germany — The two companies leading the trinational Future Combat Air System (FCAS) effort have completed a deal on the program’s centerpiece: the next-generation fighter aircraft.

Airbus and Dassault reached an agreement that removed “the main obstacle” to launching the demonstrator portion of the fighter program, said the French Senate’s foreign affairs and defense committee in a Tuesday press release. The agreement, called “a major turning point” by the panel, could be approved by the German Bundestag by summer.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army is embarking on a competitive prototyping effort to acquire a new, all-terrain vehicle that can operate in the Arctic, with evaluations to take place in Alaska this year, according to Tim Goddette, the program executive officer of the service’s combat support and combat service support.

The service awarded contracts to two vendors: a team of American firm Oshkosh Defense and the land systems division of Singapore’s ST Engineering; and a team of two BAE System units, Land and Armaments as well as BAE Hagglunds.
