As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in intelligence analysis, weapons development and operational planning, control over how these systems are used has become a strategic...

Modern military operations face a growing mismatch between threats and available strike options. High-end precision weapons deliver accuracy and range, but they are expensive,...

Modern air combat is increasingly defined by long-range sensors and advanced missiles, but crewed fighter jets still face a basic constraint: to fire, they...

The rapid spread of small unmanned aerial systems on today’s battlefield has created a new challenge for attack helicopters. Platforms originally optimized for engaging...

Ballistic missile defense has become a race against both technology and inventory. As missile threats grow in number, range, and complexity, interceptor stockpiles are...

China’s heavy reliance on imported natural rubber has long been a strategic weak point. Rubber is a critical input for automotive manufacturing, industrial equipment,...

Finnish AI startup raises €120M for defense.

Modern military operations unfold simultaneously in the air, at sea, on land, in space and in cyberspace. Yet for decades, command-and-control systems were largely...

Sustaining drone operations at scale has become one of the defining challenges of modern warfare. Frontline units rely on unmanned systems for reconnaissance, strike...

Modern naval operations are increasingly shaped by uncertainty. Fleets must operate across wide areas, integrate manned and unmanned platforms, and function under conditions where...

Stealth aircraft designers have long faced a hard tradeoff. Flying-wing bombers offer excellent range, efficiency, and low radar visibility, but they pay a price...

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...

Small units on today’s battlefield face a persistent dilemma: they need precision strike capability without exposing crews or relying on expensive platforms that require...
