From Launch to Impact: A New Kind of Integrated Drone Weapon
Modern battlefields are placing new demands on strike systems. Forces need weapons that can be deployed quickly, adapted across platforms, and produced in large...
Why Air-Launched Drones Are the Next Air Defense Challenge
Air defenses are increasingly being shaped by the types of threats they face. Slow, propeller-driven drones are relatively easy to detect and engage once...
How Small Drones Are Learning to Strike Together
Controlling large numbers of attack drones has become one of the biggest challenges in modern warfare. Individually piloted systems already strain operators, while electronic...
The Tech Giving Armored Vehicles a 360-Degree Safety Net
Armored vehicles are facing a wider and more complex threat environment than ever before. Alongside traditional anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades, modern battlefields are...
This Jet-Powered Drone Can Fight Without Giving Away Its Position
Air combat is becoming increasingly complex as threats multiply and reaction times shrink. Pilots are expected to manage dense sensor data, coordinate with multiple...
The Control System Built to Command Many Drones at Once
Modern military operations increasingly rely on unmanned systems, but coordinating them effectively remains a challenge. Drones operating in the air, on the surface, or...
This Elusive Drone Played a Role in Capturing Maduro
Modern military operations increasingly depend on seeing targets long before forces arrive on scene. High-risk missions, especially those involving special operations or politically sensitive...
Drone Maps Solo: Is This the Future?
The gap between the theoretical capabilities of drones and their proven performance in the field remains a persistent challenge. According to the Drone Center...
Stacking the Shield: A New Approach to Sky Protection
Air and missile defense planners are facing a rapidly widening threat spectrum. Beyond traditional aircraft, modern forces must contend with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles,...
Why Modern Air Combat Needs Unmanned Wingmen
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...
Seeing What’s Hidden: A New Way to Spot Explosives
Security agencies continue to face a difficult tradeoff when screening for explosives and hazardous chemicals. Imaging systems such as X-ray and millimeter-wave scanners can...
How Autonomous Sea Drones Are Extending Naval Defense Beyond the Coast
Navies are facing a growing challenge offshore: how to maintain persistent awareness and protection across vast maritime areas without tying up crewed vessels for...
There’s More Than One Way to Control A Swarm of Drones
A growing need on the modern battlefield is to deploy vast numbers of low-cost, autonomous systems rather than relying on expensive, manned platforms. This...
The Border That Watches Its Back
Modern borders are increasingly difficult to defend with traditional means alone. Fast-moving ground forces, low-flying drones, cyber interference, and long-range missiles compress reaction times...
Is It Possible To Control A Swarm of 200 Drones Single-Handedly?...
The effective coordination of numerous unmanned aerial vehicles presents a significant logistical and operational challenge. Traditional models, where a single operator controls one or...
This Autonomous Ground Robot Actually Redefined Battlefield Roles
Modern warfare presents extreme risks to soldiers conducting reconnaissance and direct action missions. Operating in complex, contested environments exposes personnel to constant threats, making...
How Are Drone Swarms Nearing Deployment?
The central challenge on the modern battlefield is transitioning from small-scale experiments to the operational deployment of autonomous systems in mass quantities. While many...
Seven Hours in the Air: A New Long-Range Attack Drone Emerges
