Amphibious Vessels

Marine collisions with fixed offshore structures—such as oil platforms, abandoned wellheads, and navigational hazards—remain a persistent problem for commercial operators and coastal authorities. These...

Undersea threats are becoming harder to counter. Modern torpedoes are faster, quieter, and more capable of adjusting their course mid-run, leaving ships with very...

Modern naval forces are under growing pressure to project power while remaining difficult to detect. As long-range precision weapons become more widespread, large surface...

Maritime surveillance often requires both surface vessels and aerial drones to maintain awareness over large areas. While drones provide a much wider field of...

A new generation of submarine warfare has emerged with the debut of the A26, which is described as the world’s first fifth-generation submarine. Developed...

Transmitting information between underwater and airborne systems has long posed a technical challenge. Sound behaves very differently in water compared to air due to...

Naval forces face a growing need to monitor and operate across vast stretches of ocean without relying solely on crewed ships. Long-range patrols, intelligence...

Drone threats at sea are becoming more frequent and harder to manage. Small, low-cost UAVs can be launched in large numbers, forcing naval forces...

China is a rising power in today’s reality, there's no doubt about that. We in i-HLS.com have wrote extensively about the country’s efforts of...

Naval platforms are being asked to do more for longer, often in environments that place heavy strain on hulls, propulsion systems, and onboard electronics....

Detecting extremely weak magnetic fields is useful in everything from medical imaging to industrial monitoring, but sensitivity comes with a fundamental problem: noise. As...

Indonesia has demonstrated a step forward in its naval capabilities with a successful torpedo firing from an autonomous submarine. The vessel, known as KSOT...

Monitoring activity beneath the ocean surface remains a complex and resource-intensive task. Traditional methods rely heavily on crewed ships to deploy and retrieve underwater...

Critical undersea cables and energy pipelines have become increasingly attractive targets for adversaries, particularly as naval competition intensifies in the North Atlantic. Recent Russian...

Amphibious operations remain one of the more complex military challenges. Moving troops and equipment from ship to shore requires platforms that can operate reliably...

The world's vast oceans and seas offer seemingly endless spaces in which adversaries can maneuver undetected. The U.S. military deploys networks of manned and...

Inspecting the underside of a ship is a difficult but important security task. Hulls can conceal structural damage, foreign objects or potentially dangerous devices...

A new 3,000-ton littoral combat ship (LCS) capable of advanced anti-submarine and surface warfare operations has officially entered service with the U.S. Navy. Named...

Modern naval operations generate vast amounts of sensor data, but much of it remains underutilized. Legacy systems often rely on manual processing and fragmented...

Modern navies are being pushed toward capabilities their current ships were never designed to support. Sensors are becoming more power-intensive, hypersonic weapons demand new...

Underwater missions are often constrained by endurance. Most autonomous underwater vehicles rely on batteries, which limit how long they can remain submerged before needing...
