Modern air and missile defense systems are becoming increasingly effective at intercepting conventional threats. This has created a growing challenge for long-range strike capabilities,...

Moving equipment, sensors, and unmanned systems across land–sea boundaries has long been a logistical bottleneck. Most platforms are built for either terrain or water,...

For mobile robots operating in the real world, knowing their exact position is not optional. Autonomous navigation depends on continuous, accurate localization. Yet satellite-based...

Small, commercially available drones have become a persistent battlefield problem. Easy to acquire and modify, they are now widely used for reconnaissance, targeting, and...

China’s next generation of combat robots is now for sale. At the recent DSA 2016 Kuala Lumpur arms shows, manufacturers from around the world...

Long-range unmanned strike systems are reshaping how smaller forces think about reach and deterrence. Until recently, extended-range attack drones were largely the domain of...

DARPA, a research arm of the U.S. military, is exploring the possibility of deploying insects to make plants more resilient by altering their genes....

Robotic systems designed for remote or extreme environments face a consistent limitation: power. Movement alone can consume a significant portion of a robot’s energy,...

The British intelligence community is reportedly investigating China's expanding role in the country's green technology sector, raising concerns about national security and Beijing’s influence...

Mellanox and Matrix, distributor of Mellanox solutions in Israel, held a conference for tech experts in the Israeli defense sector - security industries, IDF,...

Flexible solar array manufacturer Alta Devices has recently conducted an experiment applying its flexible PV arrays onto an AeroVironment Inc. RQ-12A Puma AE small...

One-way attack drones have created an increasingly difficult equation for air-defense forces. Aircraft such as the Shahed-136 are relatively inexpensive, can be launched in...

Modern air combat is increasingly defined by long-range sensors and advanced missiles, but crewed fighter jets still face a basic constraint: to fire, they...

Modern military operations are influenced by more than events on the physical battlefield. Social media posts, messaging platforms, videos, news reports and foreign-language sources...

The United States recently showcased the advanced Cerberus XL Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) during a military exercise aimed at tackling the increasing threat posed...

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...

The UK has made a significant advancement in aviation technologies by completing the first-ever commercial flight trials with advanced quantum-based navigation systems. These systems...

Organizations responsible for logistics, infrastructure, and critical facilities are increasingly required to inspect, map, and monitor enormous areas — sometimes hazardous or inaccessible —...

By ARIE EGOZI Times have changed and systems that in the past were considered a "luxury" for air forces are now basic equipment. Until ten years...

Modern intelligence collection is facing a structural problem. Traditional spy satellites are powerful but scarce, expensive, and vulnerable. With only a handful in orbit,...

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

Artificial intelligence is becoming an essential part of modern military systems, but deploying it in operational environments presents a challenge. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and...
