Reinventing Missile Defense for a Changing Threat Landscape
For more than two decades, homeland missile defense has relied on an interceptor architecture originally fielded in the early 2000s. That system was designed...
Fast, Heavy, and Getting Smarter: Inside a Naval Upgrade Cycle
Naval platforms are being asked to do more for longer, often in environments that place heavy strain on hulls, propulsion systems, and onboard electronics....
How Stealth and Autonomy Changed Long-Range Air Attack
Modern air defenses are becoming denser, faster, and more layered, making traditional strike missions increasingly risky. Advanced surface-to-air missile systems force attacking aircraft to...
When Stealth Meets Hypersonic Strike at Sea
Modern naval forces are under growing pressure to project power while remaining difficult to detect. As long-range precision weapons become more widespread, large surface...
The Tech Keeping Military Aircraft One Step Ahead of Missiles
Modern military aircraft operate in increasingly contested airspace. Portable surface-to-air missiles, radar-guided threats, and improvised munitions pose constant risks to rotary- and fixed-wing platforms...
Long-Range Strikes Start With Better Eyes in the Sky
Monitoring vast maritime areas has become one of the harder problems for modern air forces. Surface vessels can blend into sea clutter, operate far...
The Airborne Interceptor Built for Persistent Threats
Countering long-range attack drones has become a persistent challenge for air defense planners. Low-cost, long-endurance UAVs can loiter for hours and strike far from...
This Weapon Blurs the Line Between Drone and Missile
Modern air defenses are forcing strike systems to evolve rapidly. Weapons that once relied on persistence and operator control are now expected to reach...
The Combat Helmet That Does More Than Stop Bullets
Modern infantry operate in environments saturated with threats and information. Ballistic danger, laser exposure, electronic noise, and the constant need to process data from...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
