Modern intelligence systems are facing a growing problem: an overwhelming flood of visual information from countless sources, such as security cameras, drones, bodycams, social...

The US Navy is developing and testing algorithms meant to sustain unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) operability in operations of bathymetry –a method of mapping...

iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to join the fifth cycle of INNOFENSE and receive a remarkable opportunity to showcase your technology...

The United States Air Force (USAF) is set to breathe new life into its iconic B-52 "Stratofortress" fleet, ensuring this veteran bomber remains a...

On February 11, 2025, the "Definitely Defense" conference, organized by iHLS in collaboration with Amit Pollak Matalon & Co. and Deloitte, brought together leaders...

Two electric cooperatives in Texas have reportedly been targeted in a ransomware campaign, with cybercriminal group Qilin claiming responsibility. The group, known for its...

Launching and retrieving drones normally requires a stationary platform, clear airspace, and operators with line-of-sight control. These constraints limit how quickly drones can be...

Small first-person-view (FPV) drones have become a central tool in modern conflicts, but training operators remains a challenge. Real-world FPV flying demands quick reactions,...

Rising demand for missiles has exposed a persistent challenge across defense supply chains: propulsion components are difficult to scale quickly without introducing delays or...

Modern air operations increasingly depend on constant data flow. Crews need access to real-time intelligence, targeting updates, and coordination with ground and air assets—often...

Air defenses are increasingly being shaped by the types of threats they face. Slow, propeller-driven drones are relatively easy to detect and engage once...

Defending maritime approaches has become increasingly complex as naval air defenses grow more capable. Modern surface combatants rely on layered sensors, radar-guided interceptors, and...

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...

Moving heavy cargo by air without runways remains a major bottleneck for emergency response, logistics, and military operations. Helicopters can do the job, but...

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

Coordinating large groups of autonomous systems, whether drones, vehicles, or software agents, remains a difficult problem. In real-world conditions, signals are often noisy, incomplete,...

Modern cloud services are built on a fundamental principle: high availability and redundancy. Organizations, governments, and technology companies expect systems to remain operational even...

Modern air operations are increasingly shaped by the need to strike targets at long range without exposing aircraft to dense air defense systems. Traditional...

The growing use of inexpensive drones has created a major challenge for air defense systems. Small reconnaissance UAVs and FPV strike drones can be...

Optical satellites provide valuable imagery from orbit, but they have a well-known limitation: they depend on visibility. Clouds, storms, smoke, darkness, and atmospheric conditions...

The expansion of the digital realm into space has opened new frontiers for cyber threats, posing unprecedented challenges. The satellites orbiting Earth are crucial for...
