This AI Builds Drone Swarms Just to See If Defenses Can...
Stopping one drone is very different from defending against dozens or hundreds arriving together. A coordinated swarm can approach from several directions, divide into...
The Next Big Artillery Upgrade Could Be Putting the Gun on...
Towed artillery remains an important source of battlefield firepower, but modern counter-battery sensors and drones have made staying in one firing position increasingly dangerous....
The Missing Piece for AI-Piloted Aircraft May Finally Be Here
Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from assisting pilots to flying aircraft autonomously. While autonomous flight software has become increasingly capable of navigating, avoiding obstacles...
How Do You Test a Missile Defense Radar? Fire a Missile...
Missile-defense systems cannot be validated using simulations alone. Radars and combat-management systems ultimately need to encounter physical targets moving through real airspace, allowing crews...
This Anti-Drone System Doesn’t Just Find the UAV – It Finds...
Small commercial drones are increasingly becoming a security problem for military forces and critical facilities. Detecting an unauthorized UAV is only part of the...
This Runway-Free Combat Drone Just Flew Alongside F-35s
Future air operations are expected to rely increasingly on uncrewed aircraft working alongside fighter jets, but making that concept practical requires more than simply...

InteliATE is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to the technological...
This Cold-Proof Material Could Give Wearable Sensors a Winter Upgrade
Wearable sensors need to remain soft and conductive as the body moves, but cold weather presents a basic materials problem. Many flexible sensors use...
The Next Frontier for Laser Weapons Might Be Orbit
As more military and civilian infrastructure depends on satellites, space is becoming an increasingly important operational domain. Communications, navigation, intelligence gathering, missile warning, and...
When GPS Goes Dark, Hypersonic Weapons Could Navigate by the Stars
Hypersonic vehicles create an unusually difficult navigation problem. Traveling at several times the speed of sound leaves little room for positioning errors, while satellite...
These Floating Gun Platforms Are Built to Guard Ports From Drones
Protecting a major port from drones presents an increasingly difficult security problem. Maritime facilities cover large areas and contain ships, fuel infrastructure and other...
A New Underwater Robot Is Built to Hunt for Threats on...
Inspecting the underside of a ship is a difficult but important security task. Hulls can conceal structural damage, foreign objects or potentially dangerous devices...
Ukraine Unveils Faster Drone Hunter for Shahed Attacks
One-way attack drones have created an increasingly difficult equation for air-defense forces. Aircraft such as the Shahed-136 are relatively inexpensive, can be launched in...
A New Decoy Drone Can Make Itself Look 20 Times Larger...
Modern air-defense systems depend heavily on radar to determine which objects in the sky deserve attention. That creates an opportunity for deception: if a...
This Skin-Cell-Sized Sensor Could One Day Help Detect Submarines
Detecting extremely weak magnetic fields is useful in everything from medical imaging to industrial monitoring, but sensitivity comes with a fundamental problem: noise. As...
A Tiny Levitating Gyroscope Could Make GPS-Free Navigation More Accurate
Modern navigation depends heavily on satellite signals, but GPS is not always available. Signals cannot reliably penetrate underground or deep underwater and can also...
The Biggest Thing Holding Back Next-Gen Radar? Heat
Gallium nitride has become an important material for high-performance radar, communications and electronic warfare systems because it can handle far more radio-frequency power than...
This Security Tool Looks Inside AI to Catch Agents Going Rogue
As organizations begin deploying teams of AI agents to handle complex tasks, cybersecurity is becoming a growing concern. In these multi-agent systems, several large...
The Battlefield Is Full of Invisible Signals—This Device Finds Them
Modern battlefields are increasingly crowded with radio-frequency signals. Drones, aircraft, ships, communications equipment and electronic warfare systems all transmit across the electromagnetic spectrum, creating...
This Autonomous Aircraft Can Carry 10 Missiles Without a Pilot
Attack helicopters are facing a growing challenge on today's battlefield. The widespread use of inexpensive drones, loitering munitions and persistent aerial surveillance has made...
Israeli Drone Company Heads to Wall Street at a $1.5 Billion...
As militaries and security organizations deploy growing numbers of drones, robots, and autonomous systems, a new challenge is emerging: each platform comes with its...
The Battlefield’s Newest Weapon Doesn’t Fire a Shot—It Makes Decisions
Modern military operations depend heavily on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar systems, communications networks, GPS signals and electronic warfare equipment all compete for access to...
