Long-endurance drones such as the MQ-9 Reaper have spent decades performing surveillance and strike missions, but the environment they were designed for is changing....

Large-scale air combat exercises face a practical limitation: creating a realistic battlefield can require dozens of aircraft, support platforms and air-defense systems operating simultaneously....

Space-based sensors can generate enormous amounts of data while monitoring missile launches, spacecraft and other fast-moving threats. The challenge is getting useful information to...

Monitoring large areas beneath the sea is difficult, expensive and potentially dangerous. Crewed submarines and surface vessels can perform surveillance and mine-clearing missions, but...

Stopping one drone is very different from defending against dozens or hundreds arriving together. A coordinated swarm can approach from several directions, divide into...

Towed artillery remains an important source of battlefield firepower, but modern counter-battery sensors and drones have made staying in one firing position increasingly dangerous....

Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from assisting pilots to flying aircraft autonomously. While autonomous flight software has become increasingly capable of navigating, avoiding obstacles...

Missile-defense systems cannot be validated using simulations alone. Radars and combat-management systems ultimately need to encounter physical targets moving through real airspace, allowing crews...

Small commercial drones are increasingly becoming a security problem for military forces and critical facilities. Detecting an unauthorized UAV is only part of the...

As wireless networks become faster and more demanding, the tiny radio-frequency chips inside smartphones and communication systems are approaching their physical limits. Acoustic wave...

Future air operations are expected to rely increasingly on uncrewed aircraft working alongside fighter jets, but making that concept practical requires more than simply...

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

Wearable sensors need to remain soft and conductive as the body moves, but cold weather presents a basic materials problem. Many flexible sensors use...

As more military and civilian infrastructure depends on satellites, space is becoming an increasingly important operational domain. Communications, navigation, intelligence gathering, missile warning, and...

Protecting a major port from drones presents an increasingly difficult security problem. Maritime facilities cover large areas and contain ships, fuel infrastructure and other...

Inspecting the underside of a ship is a difficult but important security task. Hulls can conceal structural damage, foreign objects or potentially dangerous devices...

One-way attack drones have created an increasingly difficult equation for air-defense forces. Aircraft such as the Shahed-136 are relatively inexpensive, can be launched in...

Modern air-defense systems depend heavily on radar to determine which objects in the sky deserve attention. That creates an opportunity for deception: if a...

Modern military operations generate enormous amounts of information. Intelligence reports, satellite imagery, drone feeds, logistics updates and battlefield reports must all be analyzed before...

Detecting extremely weak magnetic fields is useful in everything from medical imaging to industrial monitoring, but sensitivity comes with a fundamental problem: noise. As...

Modern navigation depends heavily on satellite signals, but GPS is not always available. Signals cannot reliably penetrate underground or deep underwater and can also...

Gallium nitride has become an important material for high-performance radar, communications and electronic warfare systems because it can handle far more radio-frequency power than...
