Modern militaries are facing a growing challenge: how to carry out dangerous missions in threat-saturated environments without risking human lives. Urban warfare, tunnel infiltration,...

Imagine a quiet night, its stillness broken only by a familiar, monotonous hum – the ominous sound of Shahed loitering munitions. Ground forces have...

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

Robots have long struggled outside carefully controlled environments. While factory automation excels at repetitive, predefined tasks, even small changes in lighting, object position, or...

Air combat is becoming increasingly complex as threats multiply and reaction times shrink. Pilots are expected to manage dense sensor data, coordinate with multiple...

Anduril, a defense tech startup, is raising an $8 billion funding round, targeting a staggering $60 billion valuation. Learn more about this massive investor bet on Anduril's autonomous systems.

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 rapid spread of unmanned aerial threats is exposing a key limitation in current air defense systems: coverage gaps between ground-based sensors and high-end...

As artificial intelligence systems grow more capable, protecting them has become a new kind of security challenge. Unlike traditional software, advanced AI models can...

Training helicopter pilots for wildfire missions is particularly difficult because the environment itself is constantly changing. Smoke, shifting winds, rising heat, and the interaction...

Modern air-defense systems are becoming increasingly capable of detecting, tracking, and intercepting conventional threats. Cruise missiles can fly low and maneuver around terrain, but...

The British Army is about to obtain an impressive, advanced new explosive ordnance disposal robot with the ability to climb stairs, negotiate slopes of...

Israel has reportedly made exoatmospheric intercepts of the Iranian rockets on Sunday. Any missile intercepted outside the Kármán line (the boundary of Earth’s atmosphere,...

For the first time ever, Russia began using its experimental S-500 air defense system that is claimed to have a range of 600 km...

Animals and dogs in particular have assisted humans in battle for centuries. Recently, Ukraine has introduced a robotic dog that will soon be integrated...

Recently, the US Army’s 7th Infantry Division has successfully tested a Stryker vehicle equipped with an innovative drone system that is designed to detect...

The United Kingdom has unveiled a major investment in digital warfare capabilities, committing over £1 billion ($1.3 billion) to establish a new cyber command...

A team at MIT Lincoln Laboratory has developed a compact and inexpensive hydrophone that could transform underwater sensing across defense, industrial, and scientific functions....

Long-endurance unmanned aircraft have traditionally faced the same limits: batteries restrict range, combustion engines add noise and heat, and payload capacity often forces trade-offs...

Large strategic bombers were designed for a very different battlespace than the one air forces face today. Modern conflicts rely on dense sensor networks,...
