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...
Engineers Flip the Script with a Reverse-Engineered Drone
Modern militaries face a growing challenge: traditional unmanned aircraft such as MALE-class drones offer advanced ISR and strike capabilities, but their high cost and...
An Air Defense Deal Marks Another Step in Israel’s Defense Exports
As aerial threats become more diverse and harder to detect, many countries are reassessing how well their air defenses can cope with modern risks....
A New Mine-Clearing System That Turns Dangerous Ground Into Passable Terrain
Minefields remain one of the most time-consuming and dangerous obstacles for ground forces. Traditional breaching tools—mechanical rollers, plows, and manual clearing—can take hours, require...
Hidden No More: Inside the World’s Largest Sea Radar
Ballistic missile defense relies on early detection and precise tracking, but gathering accurate data in the vast expanse of the Pacific remains a significant...
T-Dome: A Smarter Shield Integrating Air, Missile, and Drone Defenses
Modern air-defense systems face a common problem: sensors, interceptors, and command centers often operate in parallel rather than as a synchronized whole. This slows...
This Armored Monster Just Got a High-Tech Boost
Armored fighting vehicles are expected to operate in increasingly complex environments, from dense urban terrain to wide-open maneuver corridors. They must withstand emerging anti-armor...
Low-Cost Hypersonic Missile Could Change the Game
Hypersonic weapons have traditionally been associated with long development cycles, specialized materials, and extremely high production costs. These factors have limited their deployment and...
Europe Strengthens Its Sky Shield with a Not-So-New Interceptor System
European air defenses have faced growing scrutiny in recent years, particularly as long-range ballistic missile threats become more prominent. Traditional systems in the region—largely...
Turning Light into Defense: Laser Shield Nears Deployment
Modern air-defense systems face a growing challenge: the number of incoming threats is rising, and so is the cost of intercepting them. Rockets, drones,...
New Wheeled Howitzer Marks Artillery Milestone
A new Turkish self-propelled howitzer has entered operational service, marking a step toward greater independence in artillery production. The system, designated T-155 TTA, integrates...
