Counter-drone systems are becoming an essential part of military base protection, but knowing whether they will perform as expected during a real attack remains...
A New Submarine Drone Is Built to Patrol Where GPS Can’t...
Monitoring large areas beneath the sea is difficult, expensive and potentially dangerous. Crewed submarines and surface vessels can perform surveillance and mine-clearing missions, but...
This AI Builds Drone Swarms Just to See If Defenses Can...
Stopping one drone is very different from defending against dozens or hundreds arriving together. A coordinated swarm can approach from several directions, divide into...
This Anti-Drone System Doesn’t Just Find the UAV – It Finds...
Small commercial drones are increasingly becoming a security problem for military forces and critical facilities. Detecting an unauthorized UAV is only part of the...
This New Acoustic Chip Could Solve One of 6G’s Biggest Problems
As wireless networks become faster and more demanding, the tiny radio-frequency chips inside smartphones and communication systems are approaching their physical limits. Acoustic wave...
This Runway-Free Combat Drone Just Flew Alongside F-35s
Future air operations are expected to rely increasingly on uncrewed aircraft working alongside fighter jets, but making that concept practical requires more than simply...
These Floating Gun Platforms Are Built to Guard Ports From Drones
Protecting a major port from drones presents an increasingly difficult security problem. Maritime facilities cover large areas and contain ships, fuel infrastructure and other...
Ukraine Unveils Faster Drone Hunter for Shahed Attacks
One-way attack drones have created an increasingly difficult equation for air-defense forces. Aircraft such as the Shahed-136 are relatively inexpensive, can be launched in...
A New Decoy Drone Can Make Itself Look 20 Times Larger...
Modern air-defense systems depend heavily on radar to determine which objects in the sky deserve attention. That creates an opportunity for deception: if a...
A Tiny Levitating Gyroscope Could Make GPS-Free Navigation More Accurate
Modern navigation depends heavily on satellite signals, but GPS is not always available. Signals cannot reliably penetrate underground or deep underwater and can also...
The Biggest Thing Holding Back Next-Gen Radar? Heat
Gallium nitride has become an important material for high-performance radar, communications and electronic warfare systems because it can handle far more radio-frequency power than...
The Battlefield Is Full of Invisible Signals—This Device Finds Them
Modern battlefields are increasingly crowded with radio-frequency signals. Drones, aircraft, ships, communications equipment and electronic warfare systems all transmit across the electromagnetic spectrum, creating...
Israeli Drone Company Heads to Wall Street at a $1.5 Billion...
As militaries and security organizations deploy growing numbers of drones, robots, and autonomous systems, a new challenge is emerging: each platform comes with its...
The Battlefield’s Newest Weapon Doesn’t Fire a Shot—It Makes Decisions
Modern military operations depend heavily on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar systems, communications networks, GPS signals and electronic warfare equipment all compete for access to...
The Next Defense Against GPS Jamming Could Be Quantum-Based
Modern military operations depend heavily on satellite navigation, secure communications and precise timing. That dependence creates vulnerabilities: GPS and other satellite signals can be...
This Surveillance Drone Can Take Orders Directly From a Crewed Aircraft
Maritime surveillance requires military forces to monitor enormous areas while identifying ships, submarines and other potential threats as quickly as possible. Crewed patrol aircraft...
This Technology Gives Autonomous Drones Better Eyes in the Sky
Flying autonomously through complex environments requires more than knowing where a drone is. The aircraft must continuously understand what surrounds it, distinguish open routes...
This Drone Can Patrol Hundreds of Kilometers of Critical Infrastructure
Inspecting pipelines, power lines and transportation corridors presents a difficult logistical problem. These assets can stretch for hundreds of kilometers through remote terrain, making...
This Quantum-Inspired Tech Tests Thousands of Drone Designs at Once
Designing an efficient drone propeller involves far more than choosing the right diameter or number of blades. Small changes in blade geometry can affect...
