FN Herstal unveiled the FN MAG TACTICAL with Long Rail, a refreshed 7.62mm general-purpose machine gun fielded in 90 countries and built to carry modern-day, night, and thermal optics.

An 11-inch monolithic top rail allows paired in-line optics while keeping the iron sights, joined by an ambidextrous feed cover and an adjustable tactical buttstock.

The upgrades fit existing M240 and L7A2 variants used by US and UK forces, with a public debut set for the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris on June 15.

US forces shot down two Iranian ballistic missiles aimed at troops in Kuwait on Sunday, days after a similar strike reportedly wounded personnel at Ali Al Salem Air Base.

Over the weekend, American aircraft struck Iranian radar, a ground control station, and attack drones, responding to the downing of an MQ-1 Predator over international waters.

The exchanges continue despite an April 7 ceasefire, with both sides trading fire around the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf for weeks.

L3Harris unveiled the MC-3000I Mobile Command Intercom, a vehicle communications system built on a decentralized architecture that continues to operate even when individual components fail.

The system interoperates with the company's Falcon radios, spreads functions across multiple components, and includes a blackout mode and a night-vision-compatible interface for low-signature operations.

Pitched at the small-vehicle market for its compact size, low weight, and low power demands, the intercom is now available to order, with deliveries set for the third quarter.

Saronic Technologies launched its first Marauder medium unmanned surface vessel (MUSV), an autonomous long-endurance platform that can operate independently or under remote supervision far from shore.

Marauder tops 25 knots, ranges up to 5,400 nautical miles, and carries up to 150 metric tons across swappable container payloads for logistics, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and other roles.

Built at Saronic's Franklin shipyard, the vessel went from design to water in under a year, with an annual capacity of 20 hulls expected by the end of 2026.

Marine Gen. Francis Donovan, head of US Southern Command, held a rare meeting with senior Cuban military officials at the perimeter of Naval Station Guantanamo Bay on Friday.

Donovan discussed operational security and base force protection with the Cuban delegation, and both sides agreed to maintain communication between their military commands.

The meeting is the first in recent memory by a Southern Command chief and comes amid Cuban concerns over a possible US military action.
