Espelkamp – October 12, 2026 -- HARTING Technology Group has joined the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem as a power system component provider for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform, supplying power whips that span the shift from 480 VAC to 800 VDC data center architecture.

HARTING supplies two power whips covering both MGX power generations

Power whips are cable assemblies that distribute power from the building to each rack. For the 3RU 110kW power shelf of the Vera Rubin NVL72, HARTING provides a 100A/480VAC power whip. For the move to 800 VDC, it offers a next-generation 157A/800 VDC DC-DC power whip that connects the power infrastructure to the compute rack.

Rising compute density forces data centers to handle significantly more power in tighter spaces while maintaining reliability, efficiency and scalability. That puts new demands on the connectivity systems that feed AI infrastructure.

Washington – October 12, 2026 -- BAE Systems (LON: BA) unveiled two layered counter-drone systems at AUSA 2026 for the U.S. Army: the Multi-Domain Artillery Cannon System (MDACS) and the High Power Microwave (HPM). The company says HPM is built from more than 99% commercial off-the-shelf components.

Both products target counter-unmanned aircraft (C-UAS) and counter-missile missions. They are designed to protect critical installations and maneuver forces against saturation drone attacks.

BAE Systems pairs kinetic and directed-energy layers against drone swarms

BAE Systems states that massed drone swarms have outpaced traditional, magazine-limited kinetic systems. MDACS supplies the kinetic layer, and HPM supplies the directed-energy layer. Together they combine high-velocity precision with what the company calls the near-limitless capacity of directed energy, for sustained, cost-efficient defense.
