Electronic Warfare

The central challenge on the modern battlefield is transitioning from small-scale experiments to the operational deployment of autonomous systems in mass quantities. While many...

As unmanned aircraft become central to modern combat, another challenge is emerging: what happens after a drone goes down. Crashed systems can contain sensitive...

The rapid spread of small drones is forcing armies to rethink how they defend moving formations. Low-cost UAVs can appear with little warning, overwhelm...

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

Small drones are becoming faster, more autonomous, and increasingly resistant to traditional countermeasures. Many counter-drone systems rely on electronic jamming or cyber techniques, but...

The growing use of small drones on the battlefield is creating new challenges for military forces. Detecting an incoming unmanned aircraft is only the...

At the Changchun air show in northeast China, engineers displayed combat drones built from retired J‑6 fighters, confirming plans to convert the Cold War–era...

The U.S. Space Force is set to deploy its first batch of ground-based satellite communication jammers, aimed at countering potential threats, especially from China’s...

A team at MIT Lincoln Laboratory has developed a compact and inexpensive hydrophone that could transform underwater sensing across defense, industrial, and scientific functions....

Large strategic bombers were designed for a very different battlespace than the one air forces face today. Modern conflicts rely on dense sensor networks,...

Small drones are no longer a niche threat. From improvised FPV strike platforms to loitering munitions and coordinated swarms, unmanned aircraft are exploiting gaps...

Critical munition production expansion

The rapid spread of small unmanned aerial systems has created a growing challenge for military and security forces. Low-cost drones can be deployed quickly,...

Modern military operations are increasingly defined by speed, flexibility, and reduced risk to personnel. At the same time, forces operating in complex environments, such...

As military and commercial operations become increasingly dependent on satellite communications, protecting those links from interference has become a growing challenge. Modern electronic warfare...

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

Commercial drones have become a standard operational tool for military and law enforcement forces in recent years, but their widespread use raises a strategic...

Vehicle-born terrorist attacks, a terror technique that ISIS pioneered in Iraq and Syria in 2015 remain terrifyingly effective against unsuspecting urban populations. A new...

Russia’s High Precision Systems Holding Company revealed two new UGV’ (unmanned ground vehicles) that come in two distinct forms called “Depesha” and “Buggy” and...

The British Army is preparing a major doctrinal shift that places drones and autonomous systems at the center of its future combat operations. According...

Modern military operations rely heavily on understanding and shaping the electromagnetic environment. Radar emissions, jamming signals, and electronic intelligence streams can shift rapidly, leaving...

As unmanned systems become more common, the challenge is no longer just flying a drone, but managing many of them at once. In current...
