Maritime Security

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...

Naval mines remain one of the most persistent threats in maritime security. Relatively inexpensive and easy to deploy, they can disrupt shipping lanes, block...

Small UAVs have helped transform the way U.S. and allied forces plan, train, equip and operate. Now, the Puma UAV is fielded to the...

Researchers from Princeton and MIT have uncovered a method for intercepting underwater communications, challenging long-standing assumptions about the security of sonar transmissions. By using...

Modern air operations are becoming increasingly crowded and dangerous. Advanced air defenses, long-range sensors, and rising aircraft costs make every manned sortie a calculated...

Submarine warfare depends heavily on one weapon: the heavyweight torpedo. Unlike missiles, which can be observed and tracked throughout much of their flight, torpedoes...

Clearing naval mines remains one of the most dangerous and time-consuming tasks at sea. Mines can sit on the seabed for decades, threatening shipping...

Hunting submarines from the air presents an awkward problem. An aircraft may detect or receive the suspected position of an underwater target, but a...

  A joint effort is made to use satellite-based solutions for turning a port into a smart one. The UK Situational Awareness Information National Technology...

Drone technology sees major breakthrough in the form of an ultra-strong carbon fiber hull suitable for large-scale production of high-performance underwater drones, created by...

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...

Maritime operations are becoming increasingly complex, with growing demand for persistent surveillance, extended reach, and reduced risk to personnel. Traditional submarines can provide these...

A new naval sensor designed to track advanced weapons including supersonic missiles has entered the production process. The Sea Fire digital radar, manufactured by...

Unmanned systems have become a frequent tool in dangerous sea mine-hunting missions. Now, a modified version of the MQ-8C Fire Scout unmanned helicopter has...

The U.S. Space Force is set to deploy its first batch of ground-based satellite communication jammers, aimed at countering potential threats, especially from China’s...

Modern military operations increasingly rely on unmanned systems, but coordinating them effectively remains a challenge. Drones operating in the air, on the surface, or...

Unexploded bombs, naval mines, and artillery shells left behind by past conflicts remain a hazard in coastal waters around the world. Buried beneath sand...
