What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Aeronix Defense Systems displayed a new Platform Interface Module (PIM) at the AUSA Annual Meeting on October 14, 2026. The PIM uses the Picatinny Common Lethality Integration Kit (CLIK) standard for unmanned platforms. This module provides a common electrical interface that helps meet the U.S. Department of War's demand for a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA).

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The PIM allows payloads to be added or changed without requiring costly system redesigns. This capability reduces platform-specific engineering and enables weapons-grade electronic interaction in lethal and non-lethal platforms.
