The growing use of drones, cruise missiles and low-flying aircraft is putting renewed pressure on short-range air defense systems. Soldiers operating near the front...

Modern air-defense systems are forcing combat aircraft to engage targets from ever greater distances. Flying too close to heavily defended areas increases the risk...

Modern fighter pilots are expected to do far more than fly and engage targets. They must process sensor data, manage electronic warfare systems, coordinate...

Modern combat aircraft face an increasingly difficult challenge: operating in airspace saturated with advanced radar systems, long-range missiles, and integrated air defenses. For unmanned...

Modern electric grids are increasingly exposed to disruptions that can occur simultaneously. Cyberattacks, equipment failures, extreme weather, wildfires and physical attacks can each affect...

Modern anti-ship missiles are becoming increasingly difficult to defeat. Equipped with radar, infrared, laser or electro-optical seekers, many can identify and track their targets...

Robots are increasingly being used for inspections, emergency response, and field operations in locations that are difficult or dangerous for people to reach. However,...

Mobile communications have become essential for modern military organizations, but they also create a security challenge. Smartphones and tablets offer flexibility and rapid access...

The rapid spread of drones has created a new challenge for militaries: intercepting fast-moving aerial threats before they reach their targets. While many counter-drone...

Modern air defense systems are becoming increasingly difficult to penetrate. Long before an aircraft reaches its target, ground-based radars can detect, track and coordinate...

The widespread use of first-person view (FPV) attack drones has changed the way armies think about protecting armored vehicles. These inexpensive drones are capable...

Modern military and civilian systems depend heavily on precise timing. GPS satellites do far more than provide location - they also distribute highly accurate...

Countering small drones does not always require shooting them down. In many situations, denying a drone the ability to see its target is enough...

One of the biggest challenges facing modern military reconnaissance is persistence. Small drones provide valuable situational awareness, but they are limited by battery life,...

As artificial intelligence systems become more autonomous, one of the biggest challenges facing developers is ensuring they remain confined to controlled testing environments. Modern...

Unmanned surface vessels are rapidly evolving from reconnaissance platforms into armed combat systems capable of operating alongside conventional naval forces. As maritime threats become...

Modern surveillance systems collect enormous amounts of visual information, but turning that data into actionable intelligence remains a challenge. Operators monitoring borders, military bases,...

AI-powered web browsers are beginning to move beyond answering questions. Many now include autonomous agents capable of browsing websites, comparing products, booking travel, filling...

The growing use of small drones around military installations has forced defense organizations to rethink how they protect sensitive facilities. Commercially available unmanned aircraft...

Protecting military bases from small drones has become increasingly difficult. Commercially available unmanned aircraft are becoming more capable, flying farther, carrying larger payloads and...

Collecting data in the Arctic is often as challenging as the research itself. Beneath seemingly solid snow can lie hidden pools of icy water,...

Apco Aviation Defense is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to...
