Over the past several decades, nations and armed organizations have invested heavily in moving strategic assets underground. Combat tunnels, bunkers, ammunition depots, command centers,...

Integrating heavy weapons onto compact robotic ground vehicles has become a growing focus for modern militaries, but the engineering challenge is significant. Small unmanned...

Modern naval radar systems face a growing challenge: the electromagnetic spectrum is becoming increasingly crowded. Warships today must manage surveillance, missile guidance, communications, and...

Modern combat increasingly depends on the rapid movement of information between units. Drones, helicopters, artillery systems, and ground troops all generate large amounts of...

Modern armored vehicles face a growing range of threats that traditional armor was never designed to handle alone. Mine blasts can injure crews even...

Modern military and civilian communications environments are becoming increasingly crowded. Drones, radios, sensors, satellites, electronic warfare systems, and wireless networks all compete for space...

When a fire alarm sounds, most people instinctively head toward the nearest exit. The problem is that the closest route is not always the...

Modern air-defense networks face an increasingly diverse set of threats. Combat aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, and tactical ballistic missiles can approach from different altitudes...

Extreme long-range shooting pushes multiple technologies to their limits. At distances measured in kilometers rather than meters, even small variations in ammunition, optics, wind...

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...

Protecting borders, critical infrastructure, and transportation corridors is becoming increasingly challenging as the number of threats and users operating within these environments continues to...

As defense technology becomes increasingly software-driven, military organizations are looking beyond traditional defense contractors and toward companies specializing in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, sensors,...

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...

Machine guns remain a core element of infantry firepower, but the way soldiers use them has changed significantly over the past two decades. Modern...

The growing variety of drone threats is creating a new challenge for air-defense operators. Modern battlefields can include everything from commercial quadcopters and first-person-view...

As unmanned systems expand across air and land domains, underwater autonomy is becoming an increasingly important area of military development. Traditional submarines remain highly...

First-person-view (FPV) drones have become increasingly important for reconnaissance and strike missions, but controlling them often requires bulky ground equipment. Traditional ground control stations...

Reliable communications inside military vehicles are often taken for granted until something fails. Modern combat platforms depend on constant voice coordination between crew members,...

Modern military units often face a difficult compromise when selecting small arms. Rifles optimized for close and medium-range combat typically use ammunition that is...

The drone threat continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Explosive drones and loitering munitions have become some of the most significant threats facing...

As the volume of information flowing into military headquarters continues to grow, decision-making becomes increasingly complex. Satellites, drones, reconnaissance aircraft, intelligence systems, and other...
