Russia is reportedly deploying a new generation of AI-powered combat drones capable of GPS-independent navigation, machine vision, and long-range strikes, marking a step forward...

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...

Air-defense systems have become highly effective at intercepting rockets and missiles, but they come with a persistent problem: cost and capacity. Low-cost threats such...

Naval mines continue to pose a disproportionate threat to modern fleets. Relatively cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can deny access to...

A growing challenge for modern forces is the rapid spread of unmanned threats across air and maritime domains. Small drones and unmanned surface vessels...

Coordinating large numbers of unmanned systems has become one of the central challenges of modern autonomy. Most drone operations still depend on centralized control,...

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

Modern air defense systems are becoming increasingly dense and sophisticated, making it harder for conventional aircraft to operate inside contested airspace. Long-range missiles offer...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a more frequent means for developing facial recognition technologies. Dahua Technology USA has unveiled new AI-based solutions. The IPC-HF8242F-FR...

A recent study suggests that advanced technologies like ChatGPT could enhance anti-terrorism efforts by profiling potential terrorists and assessing their likelihood of engaging in...

Telegram, founded by Russian-born Pavel Durov, was recently imposed with a fine of 7 million Rubles (approximately $80,000) by a court in Moscow for...

Monitoring vessel movements has become far more difficult in recent years. Ships involved in sanctions evasion, smuggling, or illicit transfers frequently disable their Automatic...

Modern armored vehicles have become increasingly difficult to defeat as active protection systems, reactive armor, and rapid maneuvering continue to advance. Conventional anti-tank weapons...

Modern air operations are becoming increasingly crowded and dangerous. Advanced air defenses, long-range sensors, and rising aircraft costs make every manned sortie a calculated...

Modern borders are increasingly difficult to defend with traditional means alone. Fast-moving ground forces, low-flying drones, cyber interference, and long-range missiles compress reaction times...
