A newly uncovered iPhone spyware campaign is raising concerns about the scale and accessibility of advanced mobile exploits. Security researchers have identified a tool,...

Small drones have become a common tool for surveillance, inspection, and reconnaissance, but they come with limits. Battery life restricts endurance, electric motors generate...

Drone swarms have become one of the defining threats of the current Ukraine-Russia conflict. Low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles can be launched in large numbers...

Autonomous defense systems Africa

As drone warfare scales up, one problem has become increasingly acute: volume without coordination. When thousands of unmanned systems are launched daily across a...

Countering long-range attack drones has become a persistent challenge for air defense planners. Low-cost, long-endurance UAVs can loiter for hours and strike far from...

Modern battlefields are increasingly shaped by small, fast, and expendable aerial systems. Forces operating under constant surveillance and electronic warfare pressure need tools that...

Air defenses are increasingly being shaped by the types of threats they face. Slow, propeller-driven drones are relatively easy to detect and engage once...

Modern borders are increasingly difficult to defend with traditional means alone. Fast-moving ground forces, low-flying drones, cyber interference, and long-range missiles compress reaction times...

Modern warfare presents extreme risks to soldiers conducting reconnaissance and direct action missions. Operating in complex, contested environments exposes personnel to constant threats, making...

Explosive ordnance disposal remains one of the most dangerous missions on the modern battlefield. Even when technicians do everything right, repeated exposure to blast...

Modern main battle tanks were designed to defeat threats coming from the front and sides. Today, that assumption no longer holds. Inexpensive first-person-view drones...

Modern air defenses are being pushed to their limits by faster, higher-flying, and more complex threats. Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and even...

For much of the post–Cold War period, the United Kingdom invested relatively little in homeland air and missile defense. Long-range ballistic threats were seen...

Imagine a quiet night, its stillness broken only by a familiar, monotonous hum – the ominous sound of Shahed loitering munitions. Ground forces have...

Europe’s security planners are increasingly focused on the blurring line between conventional and nuclear missile forces along NATO’s eastern flank. Mobile missile systems that...

Forget the battlefields of old. A silent, rapid transformation is underway, fundamentally altering the calculus of conflict and ushering in an era where speed,...

Minefields remain one of the most time-consuming and dangerous obstacles for ground forces. Traditional breaching tools—mechanical rollers, plows, and manual clearing—can take hours, require...

Critical undersea cables and energy pipelines have become increasingly attractive targets for adversaries, particularly as naval competition intensifies in the North Atlantic. Recent Russian...

European air defenses have faced growing scrutiny in recent years, particularly as long-range ballistic missile threats become more prominent. Traditional systems in the region—largely...

Building an aircraft that can fly several times faster than sound has always been one of aviation’s hardest engineering challenges. At hypersonic speeds, temperatures...

Ukraine has faced a growing challenge as Russia introduces faster, more resilient loitering munitions designed to overwhelm conventional air defenses. The latest threat, the...
