The rapid growth of battlefield drones has forced militaries to rethink short-range air defense. Small, unmanned aircraft are inexpensive, widely available, and increasingly capable...

Modern air-defense systems face an increasingly difficult task. Drones, cruise missiles, helicopters, rockets, and high-speed aircraft can all appear simultaneously, often operating at different...

One of the greatest challenges facing modern air defense is no longer the single drone, but swarms of dozens or even hundreds of unmanned...

The rapid spread of small drones has created a growing challenge for air-defense forces. Many of the drones now used for reconnaissance, targeting, and...

Small drones have become one of the most difficult threats for infantry units to counter. Their speed, size, and maneuverability make them challenging targets...

Explosive ordnance disposal teams, special operations units, and emergency responders often face a difficult dilemma: gaining information about a potentially dangerous area without exposing...

Modern drone operations increasingly face a common challenge: GPS cannot always be trusted. Electronic warfare systems, signal interference, and environmental factors can degrade navigation...

The growing use of drones is creating new security challenges far beyond traditional battlefields. Ports, shipping lanes, offshore platforms, and commercial vessels are increasingly...

The rapid proliferation of drones has created a new challenge for military forces and critical infrastructure operators. Modern threats range from small commercial quadcopters...

Air forces around the world are increasingly looking for ways to expand combat capability without placing additional pilots in harm’s way. Modern fighter aircraft...

Military planners are increasingly looking for alternatives to expensive missiles and large unmanned systems. The goal is to field platforms that can be produced...

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

Maintaining reliable communications in congested or contested environments remains a growing challenge for military and unmanned systems. Most fielded radios still rely on omnidirectional...

Modern battlefields are saturated with electronic activity. Drones, radars, radios, data links, and command networks continuously emit signals that can reveal the location and...

Integrating heavy weapons onto compact robotic ground vehicles has become a growing focus for modern militaries, but the engineering challenge is significant. Small unmanned...

Modern naval radar systems face a growing challenge: the electromagnetic spectrum is becoming increasingly crowded. Warships today must manage surveillance, missile guidance, communications, and...

Modern combat increasingly depends on the rapid movement of information between units. Drones, helicopters, artillery systems, and ground troops all generate large amounts of...

Modern military and civilian communications environments are becoming increasingly crowded. Drones, radios, sensors, satellites, electronic warfare systems, and wireless networks all compete for space...

Modern air-defense networks face an increasingly diverse set of threats. Combat aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, and tactical ballistic missiles can approach from different altitudes...

Modern armed forces are increasingly looking for strike weapons that can engage targets from long distances without exposing launch platforms to enemy air defenses....

As defense technology becomes increasingly software-driven, military organizations are looking beyond traditional defense contractors and toward companies specializing in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, sensors,...
