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...

Low-cost drone swarms have exposed a growing imbalance in modern air defense. Small, unmanned aircraft can cost only a few thousand dollars and be...

AI defense startups investment review

Stealth aircraft are designed to defeat radar, sensors, and air defenses—but in the case of the B-2 bomber, one of the most persistent threats...

Remote-controlled aircraft have become increasingly capable, but most designs still keep pilots at a distance. Even with onboard cameras, the experience is usually about...

Small units operating at the edge of the battlefield often face a familiar problem: they need precision strike capability, but traditional close air support...

Maintaining armored vehicles is often as demanding as operating them. Tank engines are packed with sensors, wiring, fuel lines, and mechanical components layered in...

Small drones are already reshaping ground combat, but most weaponized variants still struggle with accuracy. Recoil, vibration, wind, and constant micro-movements make it difficult...

Drone swarms have become one of the defining threats of the current Ukraine-Russia conflict. Low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles can be launched in large numbers...

Military AI ethics debate

For more than two decades, homeland missile defense has relied on an interceptor architecture originally fielded in the early 2000s. That system was designed...

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

AI-powered drone operating system

Space-based thermal imaging satellites

Naval platforms are being asked to do more for longer, often in environments that place heavy strain on hulls, propulsion systems, and onboard electronics....

Developing vehicles that can travel at hypersonic speeds—Mach 5 and above—poses extreme engineering challenges. At such velocities, airframes are subjected to intense vibration, aerodynamic...
