Rheinmetall and Anduril have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on developing new Counter small Unmanned Aerial System (C-sUAS) air defense systems, focusing initially on European markets. The partnership will combine Rheinmetall's command and control system with Anduril's hardware components like Sentry Tower, Wisp sensors, and Anvil interceptor to create a layered C-sUAS solution. This collaboration aims to leverage Rheinmetall's military capabilities and Anduril's development speed to address evolving threats from unmanned systems. The joint effort will offer a flexible, adaptable, and rapidly deployable C-sUAS system to stay ahead of drone threats. By integrating a wide sensor and effector mix, including lethal and non-lethal options, the system will enhance survivability and provide strategic advantages. The CEOs of both companies express confidence in delivering innovative solutions to meet the needs of defense forces in a rapidly changing warfare landscape.

Unisoc and Xiaomi's 4nm Chips Said to Challenge Qualcomm and MediaTek
UNISOC and Xiaomi collaborate on 4nm chips challenging Qualcomm and MediaTek. UNISOC's chip features X1 big core + A78 middle core + A55 small core with Mali G715 MC7 GPU, offering competitive performance and lower power consumption. Xiaomi's Xuanjie chip includes X3 big core + A715 middle core + A510 small core with IMG CXT 48-1536 GPU, potentially integrating a MediaTek baseband. Xiaomi plans a separate mid-range phone line with Xuanjie chips, aiming to strengthen its market presence. The successful development of these 4nm chips by UNISOC and Xiaomi marks progress in domestically produced mobile chips, enhancing competitiveness.

10 commentsIt also mentions end-effector systems, Andruil's Anvil system[0], and Rheinmetall's "high-power guns", which I guess refers to Skynex[1].
The public demo videos[2] for Skynex aren't particularly impressive, they shoot down some high flying stationary drones.
Skynex is a huge 35mm cannon, that seems expensive and overkill for the C-sUAS role.
I'm surprised we aren't seeing smaller automated anti drone turrets, that can be deployed close to fighting positions, shooting either a small airburst grenade, like the 20mm round from the OICW program[3], or some kind of flak/shotgun round.
