Resupplying frontline units has always carried risk. Ground convoys remain vulnerable to surveillance, ambush, long-range fires, and loitering munitions. At the same time, modern...

As hypersonic weapons move from demonstration programs toward operational deployment, a central challenge has emerged: how to produce them quickly and affordably at scale....

Unmanned systems are increasingly used across modern operations, but they often function separately. Ground robots provide mobility and access to difficult terrain, while aerial...

High-altitude surveillance aircraft are designed to operate beyond the reach of most threats, but modern air defense systems are steadily closing that gap. Advanced...

Underwater operations present a persistent challenge for both humans and machines. Visibility is often limited, communication is constrained, and navigation can quickly become uncertain....

Detecting hypersonic missiles remains one of the most difficult challenges in modern air defense. Traveling at speeds above Mach 5, these weapons generate extreme...

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 British Army began trials of a new mobile-directed-energy system as part of Project EALING, which employs advanced radio frequency technology to interfere with...

Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall unveiled their new missile launcher system called the GMARS (Global Mobile Artillery Rocket System) at the Eurosatory 2024 in Paris. GMARS...

The Javelin is a popular American shoulder missile used by militaries for anti-armor purposes. Recently, the US military has reaffirmed its commitment to the...

The U.S. Space Force is set to deploy its first batch of ground-based satellite communication jammers, aimed at countering potential threats, especially from China’s...

A new weapon design under development by researchers linked to China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is drawing international attention for its potential capabilities in...

Modern ground forces face a growing requirement for armored vehicles that can survive sophisticated threats, integrate advanced sensors, and deliver sustained firepower in shifting...

Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them easy to detect and limit their ability...

Modern air forces are under growing pressure to adapt quickly to a battlefield where unmanned systems evolve faster than traditional procurement cycles. Commercial drones...

Modern naval forces are increasingly challenged by the limits of traditional missile defense. Ship-based interceptors and radar systems were largely designed to counter predictable...

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...
