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...

Modern air operations are becoming increasingly crowded and dangerous. Advanced air defenses, long-range sensors, and rising aircraft costs make every manned sortie a calculated...

Modern air defenses are forcing strike systems to evolve rapidly. Weapons that once relied on persistence and operator control are now expected to reach...

As combat aircraft take on longer missions and pilots rely more heavily on helmet-mounted sensors and displays, the physical burden on aircrew has become...

Modern air campaigns face a growing mismatch between targets and available weapons. Long-range cruise missiles offer precision and survivability, but their high cost and...

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...

Urban air mobility has long faced a technical hurdle: combining vertical takeoff with efficient forward flight in a single, reliable platform. While helicopters can...

Small FPV drones have become a central tool on the modern battlefield, offering precision strike capabilities at relatively low cost. However, their effectiveness is...

As small drones become faster, cheaper, and more numerous, traditional radar systems are facing a growing challenge. Most electronically scanned array (ESA) radars detect...

As military and commercial operations become increasingly dependent on satellite communications, protecting those links from interference has become a growing challenge. Modern electronic warfare...

Modern armored vehicles operate in increasingly complex environments where threats can emerge from any direction. Urban combat, drone attacks, poor weather, smoke, and nighttime...

Collecting data at sea often requires researchers to choose between two very different types of vehicles. Aerial drones can quickly survey large areas but...

Every minute counts during water rescue operations. Whether responding to a person swept away by strong currents or someone struggling after a boating accident,...

Protecting a major port from drones presents an increasingly difficult security problem. Maritime facilities cover large areas and contain ships, fuel infrastructure and other...

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...
