Cluster munitions are designed to expand the impact of a single strike by spreading dozens or even hundreds of smaller explosives over a wide...

On modern battlefields, artillery and mortar fire can strike within seconds of launch. Detecting the origin of gunfire quickly is critical for both force...

Small unmanned aerial systems have become a routine threat on modern battlefields and around naval vessels. Commercial quadcopters and improvised drones are inexpensive, agile,...

As hypersonic weapons move from demonstration programs toward operational deployment, a central challenge has emerged: how to produce them quickly and affordably at scale....

Ground forces increasingly face small, fast-moving threats at close range—whether hostile personnel, light vehicles, or unmanned systems. Conventional weapons can address these risks, but...

Military operations have traditionally relied on a sequential “kill chain” — a process that moves from intelligence gathering and target identification to legal review...

Maintaining a credible sea-based nuclear deterrent requires more than just advanced missiles. Submarines tasked with strategic patrols must remain undetected for extended periods while...

Targeted operations in the heart of a hostile capital require an exceptionally high level of intelligence: real-time movement tracking, analysis of behavioral patterns, and...

The modern battlefield presents a clear challenge: how to improve operational accuracy and reduce firing errors in environments saturated with threats, moving targets, and...

Modern conflicts no longer unfold solely on physical battlefields. Alongside kinetic strikes, digital infrastructure has become both a target and a weapon. The opening...

Amphibious assaults place unique demands on armored vehicles. Platforms must survive open-water transit, land directly onto hostile shores, and then continue operating inland against...

Advanced artificial intelligence models have become increasingly integrated into defense planning and operational workflows, but their growing role is also exposing tensions between military...

Modern air campaigns face a growing mismatch between targets and available weapons. Long-range cruise missiles offer precision and survivability, but their high cost and...

Seeing clearly in low visibility remains one of the hardest problems for modern forces. Smoke, fog, darkness, and cluttered terrain all degrade traditional optics,...

Modern military operations face a growing mismatch between threats and available strike options. High-end precision weapons deliver accuracy and range, but they are expensive,...

The rapid spread of small unmanned aerial systems on today’s battlefield has created a new challenge for attack helicopters. Platforms originally optimized for engaging...

Ballistic missile defense has become a race against both technology and inventory. As missile threats grow in number, range, and complexity, interceptor stockpiles are...

Modern military operations unfold simultaneously in the air, at sea, on land, in space and in cyberspace. Yet for decades, command-and-control systems were largely...

Sustaining drone operations at scale has become one of the defining challenges of modern warfare. Frontline units rely on unmanned systems for reconnaissance, strike...

Stealth aircraft designers have long faced a hard tradeoff. Flying-wing bombers offer excellent range, efficiency, and low radar visibility, but they pay a price...

Clearing naval mines remains one of the most dangerous and time-consuming tasks at sea. Mines can sit on the seabed for decades, threatening shipping...

Small units on today’s battlefield face a persistent dilemma: they need precision strike capability without exposing crews or relying on expensive platforms that require...
