Air & Missile Defense

Small drones have become one of the most difficult threats on the modern battlefield. Unlike larger aircraft, they are small, fast, and highly maneuverable,...

For any country that relies on ballistic missiles as part of its military strategy, launching them is only half the challenge. The other half...

As the number of drones on the battlefield continues to grow, so does the challenge of operating them efficiently. While a single operator once...

The rapid spread of small drones has created a new challenge for military forces. Quadcopters and other lightweight unmanned aircraft can conduct reconnaissance, direct...

Small unmanned aerial systems have become one of the most persistent threats on modern battlefields. Commercially derived drones are now widely used for reconnaissance,...

The rapid rise of small drones has created a difficult challenge for air-defense planners. Commercial quadcopters and other low-cost unmanned aircraft can be deployed...

The rapid growth of battlefield drones has forced militaries to rethink short-range air defense. Small, unmanned aircraft are inexpensive, widely available, and increasingly capable...

Modern air-defense systems face an increasingly difficult task. Drones, cruise missiles, helicopters, rockets, and high-speed aircraft can all appear simultaneously, often operating at different...

One of the greatest challenges facing modern air defense is no longer the single drone, but swarms of dozens or even hundreds of unmanned...

Modern artillery faces two growing challenges. The first is range. As adversaries field longer-range weapons, artillery units must be able to strike targets from...

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

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...

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

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...

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 air-defense networks face an increasingly diverse set of threats. Combat aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, and tactical ballistic missiles can approach from different altitudes...

As defense technology becomes increasingly software-driven, military organizations are looking beyond traditional defense contractors and toward companies specializing in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, sensors,...

The growing variety of drone threats is creating a new challenge for air-defense operators. Modern battlefields can include everything from commercial quadcopters and first-person-view...
