How Autonomous Sea Drones Are Extending Naval Defense Beyond the Coast
Navies are facing a growing challenge offshore: how to maintain persistent awareness and protection across vast maritime areas without tying up crewed vessels for...
The Warship Laser That Hits Tiny Targets Without Missing a Beat
Modern warships are increasingly exposed to short-range aerial threats that traditional defenses struggle to counter efficiently. Small drones and fast, maneuverable targets can overwhelm...
Why Modern Navies Prefer Quiet Missiles Over Fast Ones
Modern naval forces face a difficult equation at sea. Warships are expected to operate closer to contested coastlines, where radar clutter, civilian traffic, and...
This Massive New Warship Is Built to Evolve Over Time
Modern navies face a growing mismatch between aging capital ships and the demands of future air warfare. Aircraft carriers must now support heavier aircraft,...
Why Future Minehunting May Happen From Shore, Not at Sea
Naval mines continue to pose a disproportionate threat to modern fleets. Relatively cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can deny access to...
Not Just Fast — This Missile Knows How to Evade
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...
A Missile Meant for Tanks Just Took Down a Drone
A growing challenge for modern forces is the rapid spread of unmanned threats across air and maritime domains. Small drones and unmanned surface vessels...
This Uncrewed Helicopter Could Hunt Submarines for Hours
Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...
This Partnership Turns Commercial Sea Drones Into Warfighters
Naval forces are under increasing pressure to monitor vast maritime areas, protect critical sea lanes, and respond quickly to emerging threats—often with limited numbers...
Why Navies Are Focusing on How Autonomous Vessels Are Tested, Not...
Autonomous maritime systems are advancing faster than the frameworks designed to prove they are safe. Unmanned surface vessels increasingly rely on AI-based perception to...
This Warship is Being Designed to Survive Threats That Haven’t Been...
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...
A New AI System Might Mean that Ships Will No Longer...
Monitoring vessel movements has become far more difficult in recent years. Ships involved in sanctions evasion, smuggling, or illicit transfers frequently disable their Automatic...
Amphibious Alligator Brings Autonomy to Maritime Logistics
Moving equipment, sensors, and unmanned systems across land–sea boundaries has long been a logistical bottleneck. Most platforms are built for either terrain or water,...
Long Range, No Crew: The Drone Boat Changing Naval Operations
Naval forces face a growing need to monitor and operate across vast stretches of ocean without relying solely on crewed ships. Long-range patrols, intelligence...
Smart Radar Assistant Helps Ships Steer Clear of Danger
Marine collisions with fixed offshore structures—such as oil platforms, abandoned wellheads, and navigational hazards—remain a persistent problem for commercial operators and coastal authorities. These...
The Shape-Shifting “Octo Robot” Built for Stealth
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...
Underwater Drones Built for Months-Long Patrols
Modern naval forces face a persistent challenge: how to monitor vast stretches of ocean without relying on crewed submarines or costly patrol cycles. Underwater...
A Game-Changing Ocean Watchdog That Never Sleeps
Critical undersea cables and energy pipelines have become increasingly attractive targets for adversaries, particularly as naval competition intensifies in the North Atlantic. Recent Russian...
Hypersonic Railgun Tests Show a New Kind of Naval Firepower
Defending large ocean areas has become increasingly difficult as navies invest in long-range missiles, swarming drones, and fast-moving vessels. Traditional ship-based weapons face two...
Autonomous Drone Brings New Tech to Tracking Submarines
Locating submarines has always been one of the hardest challenges in maritime security. These vessels rely on stealth, operate across vast ocean areas, and...
Wearable Tech Makes Underwater Missions Easier and Safer
Diving remains one of the most physically demanding tasks in marine operations. Whether for research, construction, or security missions, human divers must constantly fight...
AI Goes Underwater — and It’s on Patrol
India’s Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has unveiled a new class of man-portable autonomous underwater vehicles (MP-AUVs), designed to make mine detection faster,...
