Electronic Warfare

Modern battlefields increasingly depend on wireless connectivity. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and ground units all rely on radio-frequency signals for navigation, communication, and coordination. Yet...

Operating drones on the battlefield often requires soldiers to expose themselves outside armored vehicles, even in high-risk environments. While drones provide critical situational awareness,...

Small unmanned aerial systems have become one of the most persistent threats on modern battlefields. Commercially derived drones are now widely used for reconnaissance,...

The growing variety of drone threats is creating a new challenge for air-defense operators. Modern battlefields can include everything from commercial quadcopters and first-person-view...

As part of the US Army’s efforts to restore electronic warfare capability and respond to capability gaps, the Army Forces Command will receive a...

The Chinese PLA navy’s ‘kill web’ defeated the US Navy’s EA-18G “Growler” electronic warfare (EW) systems using innovative AI. Chinese media released videos showing that...

The US Air Force is advancing efforts to enable drone swarms to operate in environments where satellite navigation is denied or jammed. A recent...

Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...

Modern aerial battlefields are becoming increasingly congested, characterized by a proliferation of small, low-cost threats that prove challenging and often uneconomical to intercept using...

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...

Coordinating multiple drones and ground robots during a complex mission is rarely simple. Operators must manage sensor feeds, assign roles, deconflict movement paths and...

The growing use of small, low-cost drones is creating new challenges for air defense systems. Many of these platforms are difficult to detect using...

Small drone swarms are becoming increasingly difficult to stop using traditional air-defense systems. Conventional remotely operated gun turrets usually rely on mechanically rotating toward...

The unmanned systems market continues to expand, but alongside developing new platforms, manufacturers must also overcome challenges related to financing, production, and international market...

Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 133 has completed a historic five-month deployment to the Middle East and Eastern Pacific as part of the Abraham Lincoln...

Israel’s National Drone Initiative has entered a new stage aimed at testing the continuous operation of drone systems in real-world environments — moving beyond...

Modern FPV drones have proven valuable for reconnaissance and precision attack roles, but their dependence on radio links has become an increasingly serious limitation....

Modern military operations increasingly rely on unmanned systems, but coordinating them effectively remains a challenge. Drones operating in the air, on the surface, or...

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...

The rapid rise of drone warfare has exposed a key limitation in traditional radar systems. Small, low-flying drones are difficult to detect, especially when...

As small drones become more accessible and harder to detect, traditional air defense methods are facing growing limitations. Many systems rely on radar or...

GPS and other satellite navigation systems have become essential infrastructure for aviation, maritime transport, communications, and critical timing networks. When these signals are disrupted,...
