Fighting Drones from Space: A New Defense Concept Emerges
As drone threats grow in range, speed, and sophistication, many existing counter-UAS systems struggle to keep up. Ground-based radars are limited by terrain, jammers...
The Missile That Lets Attack Helicopters Strike Without Getting Close
Modern attack helicopters face a growing operational dilemma. While they remain valuable for close air support and maritime strike, their standard weapons force crews...
The Physics Break That Could Change How Armor Is Built
For decades, engineers have relied on a simple rule when designing stronger metals: make the grains smaller, and the material becomes harder and more...
No Longer Just Science Fiction: Fighter Jets Start Reaching for Space
Air dominance is becoming harder to achieve as battlefields extend upward and outward, blurring the line between atmosphere and space. Traditional fighter jets are...
Why Defense Networks Are Making Room for Generative AI
The Pentagon is accelerating its push into military artificial intelligence by integrating Grok, the generative AI model developed by xAI, into its secure digital...
A New Robot Makes Explosives No Longer Stand a Chance
