The rapid spread of small unmanned aerial systems has created a growing challenge for military and security forces. Low-cost drones can be deployed quickly,...

Modern battlefields are becoming increasingly transparent. With drones, satellites, and persistent surveillance systems scanning large areas in real time, traditional missile launchers are easier...

The rapid spread of low-cost, one-way attack drones is creating a growing challenge for air defense systems (specifically the Shahed missiles). These platforms are...

As autonomous aviation advances, one of the key challenges remains flexibility. Most current systems rely on a single, tightly integrated AI “brain” to control...

As military operations become increasingly data-driven, defense companies are racing to integrate software capable of coordinating sensors, drones, air defense systems, and battlefield assets...

Modern armed forces are increasingly looking for strike weapons that can engage targets from long distances without exposing launch platforms to enemy air defenses....

For decades, combat aircraft programs have largely followed the same model: highly complex manned platforms developed over long timelines by a small group of...

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

Small drones have become one of the most challenging threats facing security forces in recent years. Their compact size, low-altitude flight profiles, and minimal...

As organizations begin deploying teams of AI agents to handle complex tasks, cybersecurity is becoming a growing concern. In these multi-agent systems, several large...

Following the immense success of the previous cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to...

Britain has suffered quite a few terror attacks, mainly be Islamist Groups, with one to note is the London Underground attack in 2005. Now,...

The Pentagon recently intercepted a test ballistic missile with the Standard Missile-3 Block IIA system, the second time that weapon has been successfully tested...

Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the use of drones for military, as well as civilian purposes. A notable example is the...

During its war with Ukraine, Russia seemingly developed the new Wall-E anti-drone unmanned vehicle (named after the Disney character), which is designed to suppress...

North Korea's nuclear ambitions are a significant concern for global stability. The country has made headlines with its continuous missile provocations, including the development...

At the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Ukraine is showcased its advanced drone technology, developed through extensive combat experience during the...

Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to counter unmanned aerial threats have taken an unconventional turn with the deployment of repurposed agricultural aircraft—specifically, a Czechoslovakian Z-137 crop duster—now...

Modern infrastructure is increasingly dependent on tightly connected digital systems. Power grids, transport networks, hospitals, and communication platforms all rely on data flows that...

Search-and-rescue teams often struggle with a basic operational challenge: disaster zones are unpredictable, unmapped, and full of obstacles that confuse traditional robotic systems. Standard...
