Pentagon Awards Raytheon $20.7B to Double AMRAAM Output

The U.S. Department of Defense awarded Raytheon a multiyear contract worth up to $20.7 billion to nearly double production of Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM). The deal, part of the 'Arsenal of Freedom' initiative, aims to replenish stockpiles depleted by recent conflicts and support allies. While the contract was signed in September, full funding remains pending congressional approval, raising concerns about industry investment delays.

Army Reopens PrSM Increment 4 Competition with Five New Prototype Awards

The U.S. Army has selected five companies to develop prototypes for the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 4, restarting the competition for its next long-range strike weapon. Anduril, Castelion, Lockheed Martin, RTX, and Mach Industries received Other Transaction Authority agreements to build missiles capable of hitting moving targets at ranges exceeding 1,000 km. The program aims to double the range of the baseline PrSM and requires compatibility with the M142 HIMARS launcher and open systems architecture. A competitive fly-off is scheduled for fiscal 2027, with a final selection potentially occurring by fiscal 2030. This move follows the recent award of a $1.2 billion contract for PrSM Increment 2 and comes after the Army used PrSM systems in combat in Iran.

MDA Space expands U.S. defense footprint with Blue Canyon Technologies acquisition

MDA Space will acquire Blue Canyon Technologies from RTX for $620 million in an all-cash deal, expanding its access to the U.S. government defense market; closing is subject to regulatory approvals including CFIUS; BCT employs 400+ people in Colorado and is projected to generate about $160 million in revenue in 2026 and is cash-flow positive; executives say the deal gives MDA Space an established U.S. presence, a path to classified work, and potential product synergies with its spacecraft, aligning with its strategy of growth through acquisitions (including last year’s SatixFy purchase) to strengthen U.S./European footprint.

NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Unlocks Up to 6X AI Frame Boost for RTX 50‑Series

NVIDIA’s DLSS 4.5 update adds Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and Multi Frame Generation 6X for RTX 50‑series GPUs. The AI-driven features interpolate extra frames to raise FPS without speeding native frames, with 6X capable of up to five new frames per native frame and about a 35% 4K FPS boost, albeit with possible artifacts in certain scenes. Supported games include 007 First Light, CONTROL Resonant Directive 8020, and Tides of Annihilation.
