IAI is preparing a surprise for UAV fans. It’s loaded with good stuff that the Israelis will not say anything about, before the official unveiling this coming Tuesday, so stay tuned to see it here on defense-Update as it happens…
An example of how the ST Kinetics connected combat team could work, is the integration of the Blade IV UAS and ‘Terex Mothership’ armored vehicle, supporting a squad with firepower, protection, mobility, communications, computing and energy storage.
This year there is also an interesting representation of air defense systems, with the Israeli Spyder, Improved Hawk (MIM-23) and and , M-113A2 Ultra Mechanized Igla VSHORAD vehicle carrying six Russian Igla air defense missiles and a radar.

Following a successful service with the British forces in Afghanistan, the Bronco/Warthog is receiving an upgrade in protection (particularly agains mines and blasts), it is will being offered in a more modular configuration, enabling rapid reconfiguration with mission specific modules.
The concept behind ‘Terex Mothership’ is the provision of total support for the combat troops – from mobility and protection, through firepower, command and control to logistical support.
Singapore Technologies Engineering and Gibbs Amphitrucks are working together to introduce the Humdinga, an amphibious vehicle that can move from land to amphibian mobility without any preparation. Humdinga is a full-time 4WD Amphitruck powered by a 300BHP turbo diesel engine. It is capable of highway speeds on land and over 30mph on water. With the touch of a button Humdinga transitions between land and water in seconds. On water Humdinga utillizes GIBBS Amphibians proprietary HSA twin water jet propulsion technology. Humdinga was developed to access remote destinations and has robust marine, highway and off-road performance.All Photos: Noam Eshel http://defense-update.com/
