Maritime Security

Modern navies face a growing mismatch between aging capital ships and the demands of future air warfare. Aircraft carriers must now support heavier aircraft,...

Naval mines continue to pose a disproportionate threat to modern fleets. Relatively cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can deny access to...

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 growing challenge for modern forces is the rapid spread of unmanned threats across air and maritime domains. Small drones and unmanned surface vessels...

Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...

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...

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...

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...

Monitoring vessel movements has become far more difficult in recent years. Ships involved in sanctions evasion, smuggling, or illicit transfers frequently disable their Automatic...

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,...

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...

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...

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 naval forces face a persistent challenge: how to monitor vast stretches of ocean without relying on crewed submarines or costly patrol cycles. Underwater...

Critical undersea cables and energy pipelines have become increasingly attractive targets for adversaries, particularly as naval competition intensifies in the North Atlantic. Recent Russian...

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...

Locating submarines has always been one of the hardest challenges in maritime security. These vessels rely on stealth, operate across vast ocean areas, and...

Diving remains one of the most physically demanding tasks in marine operations. Whether for research, construction, or security missions, human divers must constantly fight...

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,...

A new generation of submarine warfare has emerged with the debut of the A26, which is described as the world’s first fifth-generation submarine. Developed...

By: Or Shalom The DSEI London 2025 exhibition, which took place on September 9–12 at the ExCeL Centre in London, is the flagship event for...

The U.S. Navy has completed a series of live maritime trials for the AN/SPY-6(V)4 radar system from Raytheon, confirming its ability to track both...
