Ballistic missile defense relies on early detection and precise tracking, but gathering accurate data in the vast expanse of the Pacific remains a significant...

Modern navies are being pushed toward capabilities their current ships were never designed to support. Sensors are becoming more power-intensive, hypersonic weapons demand new...

Modern naval planning is increasingly shaped by speed and scale. Building new warships takes years, while crises can unfold in weeks or days. For...

Remote-controlled aircraft have become increasingly capable, but most designs still keep pilots at a distance. Even with onboard cameras, the experience is usually about...

Modern armored warfare is being reshaped by the rapid spread of advanced anti-tank weapons. Guided missiles, top-attack munitions, and portable rockets are now widely...

Robots are often limited by how they move. Wheels struggle with obstacles, legs require complex joints and control, and propellers add weight and energy...

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

Military AI ethics debate

The modern battlefield presents a clear challenge: how to improve operational accuracy and reduce firing errors in environments saturated with threats, moving targets, and...

Arc Boat Company has raised $50 million in a new funding round to expand its operations and introduce its electric propulsion systems to the...

Modern battlefields are generating more data than human commanders can process in real time. Sensors, drones, and communication systems continuously produce information, but during...

As autonomous aviation advances, one of the key challenges remains flexibility. Most current systems rely on a single, tightly integrated AI “brain” to control...

Modern artillery systems are increasingly expected to operate in heavily contested electronic environments where satellite navigation signals may be disrupted or denied entirely. At...

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...

Military planners are increasingly looking for alternatives to expensive missiles and large unmanned systems. The goal is to field platforms that can be produced...

Modern military operations generate enormous amounts of information. Intelligence, logistics, fires, maneuver, protection, and communications all need to be coordinated across multiple units, often...

The rapid spread of drones has created a new challenge for militaries: intercepting fast-moving aerial threats before they reach their targets. While many counter-drone...

Protecting large industrial sites, airports, campuses and critical infrastructure often requires continuous patrols over wide areas. Autonomous security robots are increasingly being used to...

Stopping one drone is very different from defending against dozens or hundreds arriving together. A coordinated swarm can approach from several directions, divide into...

Cyberattacks against online retailers traditionally require significant manual work: finding vulnerable websites, breaking into each system, installing malicious code and returning later to collect...

Strong background light creates shadows, for example when people walk into buildings, interfering with the ability of cameras to recognize faces. A new software...

The site perimeter is often the crucial first line of defense. Perimeter protection requires more than sensors to prevent intruders from penetrating large sites....
