Air & Missile Defense

Modern air-defense networks increasingly rely on multiple radars spread across different locations. Combining their observations can create a more accurate picture of aircraft, missiles...

One of the biggest challenges facing modern air defense is no longer just stopping incoming threats, it's doing so at a sustainable cost. Militaries...

The rapid growth of military drone operations is exposing a major weakness in traditional air defense. While medium-sized unmanned aircraft used for reconnaissance and...

Long-range precision weapons have become increasingly important for militaries seeking to strike targets while keeping launch platforms outside heavily defended areas. The challenge is...

Defending against drone swarms has become one of the biggest challenges facing modern militaries. Traditional counter-drone weapons often destroy one target at a time,...

Small drones are becoming faster, more autonomous, and increasingly resistant to traditional countermeasures. Many counter-drone systems rely on electronic jamming or cyber techniques, but...

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 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...

Satellites have become a critical part of modern military operations, providing communications, navigation, intelligence and targeting data to forces around the world. As dependence...

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...

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

Modern military operations increasingly depend on the ability to strike high-value targets from long distances before they can threaten friendly forces. Command posts, air...

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

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

The rapid spread of inexpensive drones has created a growing challenge for air-defense systems. Traditional surface-to-air missiles can be effective against unmanned aircraft, but...

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...

Electronic warfare has become one of the defining features of modern conflict. Jamming systems can disrupt satellite navigation, interfere with communications, and reduce the...

Keeping frontline units supplied has always been one of the most dangerous tasks in military operations. Vehicles carrying ammunition, equipment, and spare parts often...
