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...
Why Modern Navies Prefer Quiet Missiles Over Fast Ones
Modern naval forces face a difficult equation at sea. Warships are expected to operate closer to contested coastlines, where radar clutter, civilian traffic, and...
Not Just Fast — This Missile Knows How to Evade
Defending maritime approaches has become increasingly complex as naval air defenses grow more capable. Modern surface combatants rely on layered sensors, radar-guided interceptors, and...
A Missile Meant for Tanks Just Took Down a Drone
A growing challenge for modern forces is the rapid spread of unmanned threats across air and maritime domains. Small drones and unmanned surface vessels...
This Disposable Decoy Lures Missiles Away from the Real Aircraft
Modern combat aircraft face a steadily evolving threat environment. Radar-guided missiles launched from both air and ground platforms are becoming faster, smarter, and better...
A Missile Launcher That Crab-Walks and Leaves No Heat Trail
Moving extremely heavy military payloads has always involved trade-offs. Conventional missile launch vehicles rely on large diesel engines, rigid axles, and complex mechanical linkages....
The Missile That Lets Attack Helicopters Strike Without Getting Close
Modern attack helicopters face a growing operational dilemma. While they remain valuable for close air support and maritime strike, their standard weapons force crews...
From Swarms to Sound Waves: The New Face of Modern Warfare
Modern warfare is increasingly shaped by technologies that operate beyond traditional bullets and bombs. As conflicts move into dense urban areas and contested electromagnetic...
Truck-Mounted Microwave Weapon Targets Drone Swarms at Multi-KM Range
Low-cost drones and coordinated swarms are rapidly eroding the effectiveness of traditional air-defense methods. Missiles are expensive, guns have limited coverage, and both can...
Not a New Missile — a Smarter Way to Build More...
Rising demand for missiles has exposed a persistent challenge across defense supply chains: propulsion components are difficult to scale quickly without introducing delays or...
S-500: An Air Defense System Built for Threats That Fly Too...
Modern air defenses are being pushed to their limits by faster, higher-flying, and more complex threats. Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and even...
Air Defense Is Shifting from Quality to Quantity — Carefully
Growing missile arsenals are placing unprecedented pressure on air and missile defense systems. Ballistic threats are no longer limited to a small number of...
Iron Dome Set the Standard, but Now Others Are Building Their...
For much of the post–Cold War period, the United Kingdom invested relatively little in homeland air and missile defense. Long-range ballistic threats were seen...
A New Motor Test Pushes Battlefield Propulsion Ahead
Solid rocket motors remain essential for missiles, target vehicles, and space-launch systems, but their development cycles are often long, expensive, and constrained by legacy...
This Launcher Was Built for Precision — Now It’s Raising Nuclear...
Europe’s security planners are increasingly focused on the blurring line between conventional and nuclear missile forces along NATO’s eastern flank. Mobile missile systems that...
New Hypersonic Weapon Shrinks Global Strike Timelines from Hours to Minutes
Modern militaries face a growing challenge in striking high-value targets that are both well-defended and highly mobile. Traditional cruise and ballistic missiles offer range...
A Budget Hypersonic Missile With Big Strategic Implications
Modern air- and missile-defense systems face a growing imbalance: interceptors are becoming increasingly expensive, while offensive weapons—especially drones and guided munitions—are rapidly decreasing in...
The Missile That Turns Speed and Angle Into a Naval Weapon
Modern naval forces are increasingly challenged by the limits of traditional missile defense. Ship-based interceptors and radar systems were largely designed to counter predictable...
A Next-Gen Strike Weapon Designed for Threats That Move and Hide
Modern air-defense networks are becoming harder to penetrate, with mobile launchers, dispersed command nodes, and dense sensor arrays creating narrow and fast-moving windows of...
Another Country Joins the Trend With a Strategic Shift To a...
For much of the post–World War II era, Japan kept defense-spending tightly constrained, relying on alliances and a strictly defensive posture to ensure security....
The New Laser-Based Iron Beam Is Live — And It Shoots...
Air-defense systems have become highly effective at intercepting rockets and missiles, but they come with a persistent problem: cost and capacity. Low-cost threats such...
This Locally-Manufactured Wheeled Howitzer Brings Automation to the Front Line
For decades, Israel’s artillery relied on tracked systems introduced in the 1980s. While dependable, those platforms were manpower-heavy, slower to reposition, and increasingly mismatched...
