Small drones have become one of the most difficult threats for infantry units to counter. Their speed, size, and maneuverability make them challenging targets...

Explosive ordnance disposal teams, special operations units, and emergency responders often face a difficult dilemma: gaining information about a potentially dangerous area without exposing...

Submarine warfare depends heavily on one weapon: the heavyweight torpedo. Unlike missiles, which can be observed and tracked throughout much of their flight, torpedoes...

Modern drone operations increasingly face a common challenge: GPS cannot always be trusted. Electronic warfare systems, signal interference, and environmental factors can degrade navigation...

The growing use of drones is creating new security challenges far beyond traditional battlefields. Ports, shipping lanes, offshore platforms, and commercial vessels are increasingly...

Maintaining large electrical grids is a difficult and often dangerous task. Power lines stretch across vast distances, pass through hard-to-reach terrain, and require regular...

Modern military systems are becoming increasingly software-driven and interconnected. Sensors, drones, command-and-control platforms, electronic warfare systems, and weapons must all work together across air,...

The rapid proliferation of drones has created a new challenge for military forces and critical infrastructure operators. Modern threats range from small commercial quadcopters...

Operating military vehicles in mountainous terrain presents a unique engineering challenge. As altitude increases, air becomes thinner, reducing the amount of oxygen available for...

Phishing remains one of the most persistent cyber threats on the internet. Attackers continuously create fake websites, fraudulent login pages, and malicious links designed...

Air forces around the world are increasingly looking for ways to expand combat capability without placing additional pilots in harm’s way. Modern fighter aircraft...

Military planners are increasingly looking for alternatives to expensive missiles and large unmanned systems. The goal is to field platforms that can be produced...

Maintaining reliable communications in congested or contested environments remains a growing challenge for military and unmanned systems. Most fielded radios still rely on omnidirectional...

Modern battlefields are saturated with electronic activity. Drones, radars, radios, data links, and command networks continuously emit signals that can reveal the location and...

The wireless networks envisioned for the 6G era promise enormous data rates, potentially reaching terabits per second. Achieving those speeds, however, requires the use...

Mortar teams depend on fire-control systems to calculate firing solutions, manage targeting data, and coordinate indirect fire missions. Traditionally, many of these functions have...

When someone falls overboard, time becomes the most critical factor in survival. Ships traveling at speed require time to stop, launch rescue craft, and...

Over the past several decades, nations and armed organizations have invested heavily in moving strategic assets underground. Combat tunnels, bunkers, ammunition depots, command centers,...

Engineers have long looked to origami and kirigami for inspiration when designing lightweight structures that can transform shape without relying on complex mechanical systems....

Integrating heavy weapons onto compact robotic ground vehicles has become a growing focus for modern militaries, but the engineering challenge is significant. Small unmanned...

Modern naval radar systems face a growing challenge: the electromagnetic spectrum is becoming increasingly crowded. Warships today must manage surveillance, missile guidance, communications, and...

Modern combat increasingly depends on the rapid movement of information between units. Drones, helicopters, artillery systems, and ground troops all generate large amounts of...
