Why Future Autonomous Scouts Won’t Depend on GPS at All
Modern military operations increasingly take place in environments where GPS cannot be relied upon. Electronic jamming, urban terrain, dense foliage, and underground spaces can...
A Simple Cage Takes On One of the Tank’s Biggest New...
Modern main battle tanks were designed to defeat threats coming from the front and sides. Today, that assumption no longer holds. Inexpensive first-person-view drones...
The Tech That Beats Bad Signals to the Punch
Modern battlefields are shaped as much by the electromagnetic spectrum as by physical terrain. Communications, sensors, navigation signals, and targeting systems all depend on...
The Last-Second Defense Built to Stop FPV Drones Cold
Small, fast FPV drones have become one of the most difficult threats for ground forces to manage. Flying low and maneuvering aggressively, these systems...
This New Robot Tech Keeps Troops Out of CBRN Danger
Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear hazards remain among the most dangerous threats soldiers can face. Detecting and responding to these risks is often slow,...
Why Future Battlefield Drones May Not Need GPS at All
Modern military drones rely heavily on satellite navigation to orient themselves, map terrain, and support ground forces. In environments where GPS or GNSS signals...
One Person, a Whole Swarm: The Drone Control Breakthrough
As unmanned systems become more common, the challenge is no longer just flying a drone, but managing many of them at once. In current...
When GPS Goes Dark, This Drone Keeps Flying
Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...
Autonomous Refueling Pushes Drones Beyond Their Old Limits
One of the main constraints on unmanned aerial systems has always been endurance. Even large drones with long range are limited by fuel capacity,...
Iron Dome Set the Standard, but Now Others Are Building Their...
For much of the post–Cold War period, the United Kingdom invested relatively little in homeland air and missile defense. Long-range ballistic threats were seen...
How Cyberattacks Were Used to Open the Door for Military Strikes:...
Cyber operations are increasingly seen as a way to shape the battlefield before the first aircraft or ground unit moves. Power grids, communications networks,...
AI “Search Dog” Learns the Field Like a Human
Search-and-rescue teams often struggle with a basic operational challenge: disaster zones are unpredictable, unmapped, and full of obstacles that confuse traditional robotic systems. Standard...
Another Country Joins the Trend With a Strategic Shift To a...
For much of the post–World War II era, Japan kept defense-spending tightly constrained, relying on alliances and a strictly defensive posture to ensure security....
The Hybrid Rover That Drifts Like a Weed and Navigates Like...
Robots designed for ground exploration often struggle with two conflicting demands: they need to travel long distances efficiently, yet also maneuver through cluttered or...
The New Laser-Based Iron Beam Is Live — And It Shoots...
Air-defense systems have become highly effective at intercepting rockets and missiles, but they come with a persistent problem: cost and capacity. Low-cost threats such...
The GPS Backup We Didn’t See Coming: A Nuclear Clock on...
Modern navigation systems rely heavily on satellite timing, and that dependence has become a growing vulnerability. GPS signals can be jammed, spoofed, or disrupted...
A New AI System Might Mean that Ships Will No Longer...
Monitoring vessel movements has become far more difficult in recent years. Ships involved in sanctions evasion, smuggling, or illicit transfers frequently disable their Automatic...
This UGV Doesn’t Flinch at Mines, Snow, or Rubble
Modern ground forces face a recurring challenge: many critical tasks occur in places too dangerous or too unpredictable for soldiers to enter safely. Minefields,...
A Real Emergency Proves Autonomous Landing Isn’t Sci-Fi Anymore
Loss of pilot capability remains one of aviation’s most dangerous failure modes. Whether caused by medical issues, hypoxia, or sudden onboard emergencies, pilot incapacitation...
New SIGINT Prototype Aims to Keep Units Connected When Signals Disappear
Modern military operations depend on uninterrupted communication and rapid data sharing, yet many battlefields are anything but cooperative. Urban density, electronic warfare, and natural...
The Counter-UAS Platform That Connects Everything in Real Time
The rapid spread of unmanned aerial systems has made airspace security more complex for military forces and critical facilities. Small drones are increasingly capable,...
A Stealthy FPV Drone With Zero RF Signal? Yes, It Exists
Modern FPV drones have proven valuable for reconnaissance and precision attack roles, but their dependence on radio links has become an increasingly serious limitation....
