Situational Awareness

Detecting hypersonic missiles remains one of the most difficult challenges in modern air defense. Traveling at speeds above Mach 5, these weapons generate extreme...

A new service, Responder-to-Vehicle (R2V), protects first responders and motorists by delivering real-time alerts to drivers and connected cars via smartphone apps and in-vehicle...

The State of Israel is making all the efforts to block the spread of the coronavirus. Now, iHLS is addressing the technology and startup...

Construction projects generate enormous amounts of changing information each day—new installations, shifting materials, evolving layouts, and emerging safety hazards. Traditionally, engineers walk every floor...

Maritime collisions remain a stubborn and costly problem. Despite modern sensors and navigation aids, ships still strike offshore platforms, port infrastructure, and anchored vessels...

Air combat is becoming increasingly complex as threats multiply and reaction times shrink. Pilots are expected to manage dense sensor data, coordinate with multiple...

Small drones are increasingly used in environments where visibility is limited, such as collapsed buildings, smoke-filled structures, and dense vegetation, but most navigation systems...

Smartphone LiDAR sensors have become common in high-end devices, mainly supporting augmented reality features and depth sensing for photography. But despite their growing capabilities,...

First responders, soldiers, hazard material teams, etc. need hand-free communications equipment in order to be able to concentrate more on their missions. The development...

Northrop Grumman has recently announced it had been awarded a contract by the U.S. Marine Corps to integrate its Advanced Tactical Data Link (ATDL)...

Modern navigation systems rely heavily on satellite timing, and that dependence has become a growing vulnerability. GPS signals can be jammed, spoofed, or disrupted...

Modern military navigation depends heavily on satellite signals, a vulnerability that is becoming harder to ignore. GPS jamming, spoofing, and signal denial are now...

Coordinating large numbers of unmanned systems has become one of the central challenges of modern autonomy. Most drone operations still depend on centralized control,...

Coordinating large numbers of robots to perform complex tasks remains a major challenge. Traditional systems often rely on centralized control, detailed planning, and constant...

Modern armored vehicles operate in increasingly complex environments where threats can emerge from any direction. Urban combat, drone attacks, poor weather, smoke, and nighttime...

For years, U.S. Special Operations Command has been working on a suit for special operators that would essentially provide power and resiliency beyond normal...

Operating in GPS-denied environments, such as indoors, underground and in areas where GPS may be intentionally denied, has become a serious challenge. A new...

Modern militaries increasingly rely on unmanned aircraft to perform reconnaissance, strike, and electronic warfare tasks. But as these missions grow more complex, the challenge...

Modern military drones rely heavily on satellite navigation to orient themselves, map terrain, and support ground forces. In environments where GPS or GNSS signals...

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

Autonomous vehicles and mobile robots rely on cameras, LiDAR and other sensors to navigate safely. These systems perform well within direct line of sight,...

Modern military operations depend heavily on satellite navigation. From troop movements and logistics to targeting and timing synchronization, GPS-based positioning systems are deeply embedded...
