Brief video clip shows an unusual double track commercial snowmobile called an Alpina Sherpa, from Italy. It can seat four and tow a people/equipment sled. It fits in a Merlin.

Interesting film clip shows the Rapier Field Standard C (FSC), a short to medium range anti-aircraft missile that has now been replaced by the Common Anti Air Missile (CAMM)

Short media clip shows Mwari, a two-crew C4ISR and precision strike aircraft, capable of carrying a wide range of weapons, sensors, and systems in extended airborne operations. Designed and built in Africa

Brief clip showing the Elbit Systems M454 Super HE 155 mm artillery shell with enhanced fragmentation. With a heavy lift drone, would be an interesting area denial weapon

Short film clip of a Bison Engineering C-Lift T Series transportable container. These add width to a standard ISO container but allow it to be loaded and unloaded from a vehicle without external assistance.

Interesting video of an Elbit Sting 12km range tri-mode 120mm guided mortar bomb launching from a Cardom 120mm mortar. If we are going 120mm mortar, we should consider something like this.

Short video clip of an Airbus A400M during helicopter airborne refuelling development. This would be a fantastic capability to add to both UK Merlin and Chinook fleets.

Brief film clip showing a Concrete Canvas using their flexible concrete sheet material as a boat ramp. This makes for an interesting alternative to trackway for some applications.
