A successful interception test was conducted by the Japanese Aegis destroyer Atago. The system detected and shot down a short-range ballistic missile in space...

U.S. Navy shipboard communications experts needed a digital datalink, an electronic connection for the exchange of information, to enable the naval helicopter to share...

A development from scientists at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China aims to redefine underwater surveillance by using seabed electromagnetic signals to extend submarine...

Maritime collisions remain a stubborn and costly problem. Despite modern sensors and navigation aids, ships still strike offshore platforms, port infrastructure, and anchored vessels...

When someone falls overboard, time becomes the most critical factor in survival. Ships traveling at speed require time to stop, launch rescue craft, and...

A new underwater system provides a highly flexible undersea vehicle that can deliver payloads at distances of hundreds of miles without human intervention in...

NATO members are accelerating efforts to cooperate on the development and fielding of unmanned maritime systems, according to an agreement signed by the defense...

A new device developed by Chinese scientists has the potential to disrupt global communication and energy infrastructure by cutting undersea cables and power lines...

Europe’s growing dependence on underwater infrastructure has exposed a quiet vulnerability beneath the surface. Power cables, data links, and energy pipelines crisscross coastal waters,...

Anti-submarine aircraft traditionally need to get relatively close to the area where a submarine is believed to be operating before deploying a torpedo. That...

A new UAV will supply a cost-effective maritime surveillance and security solution to the Australian navy. The Italian company Leonardo has teamed with Air...

The U.S. military hopes that common marine microorganisms (single-celled forms, bacteria, etc.) might be genetically engineered into living wires to signal the passage of...

Russia began the trials of its latest nuclear-powered submarine, the Arkhangelsk, which has advanced technological features and hypersonic cruise missiles. This submarine, which shows Russia’s...

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

Monitoring activity beneath the ocean surface remains a complex and resource-intensive task. Traditional methods rely heavily on crewed ships to deploy and retrieve underwater...

Augmented reality is a combination of computer-generated images partially overlaid on a real-world view. In particular, augmented reality works well in maintenance applications. In...

Diving in icy water is extremely dangerous to humans. As more Arctic sea lanes open up and the US Navy increases its readiness to...

The U.S. Marine Corps is set to bolster its anti-drone capabilities with the deployment of the Leonidas Expeditionary, a cutting-edge high-power microwave (HPM) system...

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...

Detecting objects beneath the ocean surface remains one of the most difficult challenges in maritime sensing. Water limits the effectiveness of many conventional detection...
