Beretta Defense Technologies: A Resounding Success at the Close Combat Symposium!

Beretta Defense Technologies (BDT UK) is proud to reflect on our exceptional participation in the Close Combat Symposium held last week. As the event’s prime sponsor, we had the privilege of engaging with key stakeholders from the UK MoD and showcasing our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for UK Defence.

Equipping the UK MoD for the Modern Battlefield

On the first day, our presentation to MoD representatives focused on the critical need for extended-range weaponry, specifically within the 300m-1800m effective range. This strategic discussion highlighted BDT’s understanding of the evolving battlefield landscape and our dedication to equipping the UK MoD with the capabilities to succeed.

Unveiling Innovation: Next-Generation Weaponry on Display

The second day provided a dynamic platform to showcase a selection of our latest offerings. Attendees were introduced to the remarkable True Velocity RM338 Machine Gun, the precision-engineered Sako TRG62 rifle integrated with Steiner optics components, and the unmatched reliability of the Sako and Beretta Assault Rifles that will be put forward for Pj GRAYBURN. We also presented a groundbreaking advancement in ammunition technology: True Velocity‘s polymer ammunition, a true game-changer for the modern soldier.

Beyond Ballistics: Counter-UAS Expertise

BDT UK’s commitment to comprehensive defence solutions extended beyond weaponry. We conducted a captivating counter-drone demonstration, effectively neutralizing a UAS with a Benelli M4 shotgun. This demonstration underscored our expertise in countering emerging threats and safeguarding the dismounted soldier with an effective last line of defense against this danger.

Building a Strategic Partnership with the UK MoD

The Close Combat Symposium proved to be an invaluable platform for fostering collaboration. The extremely positive reception from UK MoD stakeholders towards our presentations and showcased technologies is a testament to BDT’s unwavering dedication to supporting British defence needs. We look forward to building upon this success and forging a strategic partnership that equips the UK MoD with the most advanced and reliable solutions for the contemporary battlefield.
