Chinese aerospace engineers have proposed a new system that could significantly improve the ability of drones to evade missile attacks during the final stages...

Firearms investigators have long worked under a simple assumption: once a round is fired, any fingerprint left on the cartridge case is effectively destroyed....

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

Modern warships are increasingly exposed to short-range aerial threats that traditional defenses struggle to counter efficiently. Small drones and fast, maneuverable targets can overwhelm...

For modern land forces, armored vehicles are meant to provide mobility, protection, and situational awareness without placing crews at unnecessary risk. When a platform...

Modern air operations are being stretched by distance, cost, and risk. Fighter aircraft are expected to operate deeper into contested airspace, while facing increasingly...

The rise of 3D-printed firearms has created a growing challenge for law enforcement. Blueprints for these weapons are widely available online, and with a...

Measuring impact usually requires sensors, wiring, and data systems that add complexity, weight, and cost. In many cases, such as monitoring structural stress, tracking...

Frontline units often face a simple limitation: access to real-time aerial intelligence. In many cases, smaller formations must rely on higher command to allocate...

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

Operating military vehicles in mountainous terrain presents a unique engineering challenge. As altitude increases, air becomes thinner, reducing the amount of oxygen available for...

Another stage in the development of the Modular Active Protection Systems (MAPS) controller base kit for US military vehicles. The US Army's Tank Automotive...

iHLS is delighted to host for the first time the prestigious Startup Competition for innovative technologies in the security, defense and homeland security fields,...

The development stage of the SAHAR system - a ground robotic engineering scout - has been completed by Israel’s MoD Defense Research and Development...

Dozens of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip during the recent 24-hours to Israel’s territory were intercepted by Iron Dome system. This world's only...

DJI has teamed up with thermal imaging specialists FLIR to launch a new two-lensed camera system. The double-eyed drone enables drones to break new ground...

Border surveillance and wide-area monitoring often require small unmanned aircraft that can stay airborne for extended periods, carry multiple sensor types, and operate reliably...

For the first time, researchers have used a customized, low-cost 3D printer to print electronics on a real hand. The technology could be used...

In-flight fires, smoke, or fumes account for an average of one precautionary landing every day, according to the FAA. A prototype, first-of-its-kind heads-up display...

The U.S. Army is turning to extended reality (XR) to sharpen the skills of its aerial intelligence units, with a new virtual training system...

The HMS Anson submarine, a hunter-killer submarine that is the Royal Navy’s newest and most cutting-edge vessel, is close to deployment after her latest...

Iran is currently exhibiting its self-manufactured long-range attack drone Mohajer-10 at the ARMY 2024 International Military-Technical Forum exhibition in Russia. This is reportedly the...
