This Uncrewed Helicopter Could Hunt Submarines for Hours
Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...
The Battle Tank Built Around Sensors, Not Just Armor
Heavy armored warfare is entering a transition period. Legacy main battle tanks remain lethal, but they are increasingly challenged by precision anti-tank weapons, drones,...
Fighting Drones from Space: A New Defense Concept Emerges
As drone threats grow in range, speed, and sophistication, many existing counter-UAS systems struggle to keep up. Ground-based radars are limited by terrain, jammers...
The Missile That Lets Attack Helicopters Strike Without Getting Close
Modern attack helicopters face a growing operational dilemma. While they remain valuable for close air support and maritime strike, their standard weapons force crews...
No Longer Just Science Fiction: Fighter Jets Start Reaching for Space
Air dominance is becoming harder to achieve as battlefields extend upward and outward, blurring the line between atmosphere and space. Traditional fighter jets are...
Why Defense Networks Are Making Room for Generative AI
The Pentagon is accelerating its push into military artificial intelligence by integrating Grok, the generative AI model developed by xAI, into its secure digital...
A New Robot Makes Explosives No Longer Stand a Chance
Explosive ordnance disposal remains one of the most dangerous missions on the modern battlefield. Even when technicians do everything right, repeated exposure to blast...

Stealth fighters are no longer defined only by their shape. As air combat shifts toward longer ranges, dense electronic warfare, and mixed formations of...
From Swarms to Sound Waves: The New Face of Modern Warfare
Modern warfare is increasingly shaped by technologies that operate beyond traditional bullets and bombs. As conflicts move into dense urban areas and contested electromagnetic...
A Simple Cage Takes On One of the Tank’s Biggest New...
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...
The Tech That Beats Bad Signals to the Punch
Modern battlefields are shaped as much by the electromagnetic spectrum as by physical terrain. Communications, sensors, navigation signals, and targeting systems all depend on...
The Cybersecurity Playbook Built for Grid Disruption and Geopolitical Crises
Energy infrastructure is becoming a prime target in modern cyber conflict. Power generation, transmission, and distribution systems are increasingly digital, interconnected, and exposed, while...
This Partnership Turns Commercial Sea Drones Into Warfighters
Naval forces are under increasing pressure to monitor vast maritime areas, protect critical sea lanes, and respond quickly to emerging threats—often with limited numbers...
The Counter-UAS Tech Built to Close Blind Spots, Not Chase Drones
Small drones are no longer a niche threat. From improvised FPV strike platforms to loitering munitions and coordinated swarms, unmanned aircraft are exploiting gaps...
The Last-Second Defense Built to Stop FPV Drones Cold
Small, fast FPV drones have become one of the most difficult threats for ground forces to manage. Flying low and maneuvering aggressively, these systems...
This Warship is Being Designed to Survive Threats That Haven’t Been...
Modern navies are being pushed toward capabilities their current ships were never designed to support. Sensors are becoming more power-intensive, hypersonic weapons demand new...
Truck-Mounted Microwave Weapon Targets Drone Swarms at Multi-KM Range
Low-cost drones and coordinated swarms are rapidly eroding the effectiveness of traditional air-defense methods. Missiles are expensive, guns have limited coverage, and both can...
One Person, a Whole Swarm: The Drone Control Breakthrough
As unmanned systems become more common, the challenge is no longer just flying a drone, but managing many of them at once. In current...
From 30mm to 50mm: A Shift in Armored Firepower
