Modern air defense systems are becoming increasingly difficult to penetrate. Long before an aircraft reaches its target, ground-based radars can detect, track and coordinate...

Collecting data at sea often requires researchers to choose between two very different types of vehicles. Aerial drones can quickly survey large areas but...

The widespread use of first-person view (FPV) attack drones has changed the way armies think about protecting armored vehicles. These inexpensive drones are capable...

Identifying people from a distance has long been a challenge for security systems. Facial recognition often requires high-resolution images and unobstructed views, while clothing,...

Modern military and civilian systems depend heavily on precise timing. GPS satellites do far more than provide location - they also distribute highly accurate...

As autonomous technologies continue to mature, air forces are increasingly exploring how much of a combat aircraft's workload can be transferred from the pilot...

Most robots rely heavily on cameras and external tracking systems to understand their surroundings and control movement. But in cluttered, dark, or visually degraded...

Countering small drones does not always require shooting them down. In many situations, denying a drone the ability to see its target is enough...

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are widely used to protect online privacy by encrypting internet traffic and hiding users' identities from websites, internet providers, and...

Modern military operations increasingly depend on the ability to strike high-value targets from long distances before they can threaten friendly forces. Command posts, air...

One of the biggest challenges facing modern military reconnaissance is persistence. Small drones provide valuable situational awareness, but they are limited by battery life,...

Artificial intelligence models increasingly serve as the foundation for hundreds of products, from chatbots and coding assistants to enterprise software and security tools. As...

Autonomous AI agents are becoming increasingly capable of writing code, installing software, modifying files, and interacting with operating systems with minimal human supervision. These...

As artificial intelligence systems become more autonomous, one of the biggest challenges facing developers is ensuring they remain confined to controlled testing environments. Modern...

Unmanned surface vessels are rapidly evolving from reconnaissance platforms into armed combat systems capable of operating alongside conventional naval forces. As maritime threats become...

Modern surveillance systems collect enormous amounts of visual information, but turning that data into actionable intelligence remains a challenge. Operators monitoring borders, military bases,...

The rapid spread of inexpensive drones has created a growing challenge for air-defense systems. Traditional surface-to-air missiles can be effective against unmanned aircraft, but...

The growing use of small drones around military installations has forced defense organizations to rethink how they protect sensitive facilities. Commercially available unmanned aircraft...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a core military capability, but turning promising algorithms into tools that soldiers can actually use remains a significant challenge....

Protecting military bases from small drones has become increasingly difficult. Commercially available unmanned aircraft are becoming more capable, flying farther, carrying larger payloads and...

Collecting data in the Arctic is often as challenging as the research itself. Beneath seemingly solid snow can lie hidden pools of icy water,...

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