Situational Awareness

A growing need on the modern battlefield is to deploy vast numbers of low-cost, autonomous systems rather than relying on expensive, manned platforms. This...

As drones take on a larger role in intelligence and surveillance missions, the demand for faster and more autonomous data processing is growing. Traditional...

Small drone swarms are becoming increasingly difficult to stop using traditional air-defense systems. Conventional remotely operated gun turrets usually rely on mechanically rotating toward...

Air-defense radars face an inherent problem: the signals they transmit to find aircraft can also reveal where the radar itself is located. In a...

Your phone can already use a combination of signals to determine where you are indoors. A new wifi standard will become a game changer...

In a significant advancement for military technology, Microsoft and defense tech firm Anduril Industries are collaborating to develop smart goggles designed for the U.S....

Uncrewed aircraft are now central to surveillance, logistics, and reconnaissance, but their missions don’t always unfold as planned. Fuel shortages, weather shifts, and unexpected...

Airspace management is under growing pressure. Traffic density continues to rise, low-altitude operations are expanding, and controllers are often forced to rely on a...

Modern sensing systems face a growing challenge: too much data. Traditional cameras capture and process full image frames continuously, even when little is changing...

The rapid spread of small drones has created a new challenge for military forces. Quadcopters and other lightweight unmanned aircraft can conduct reconnaissance, direct...

Several new systems that will enhance dismounted soldiers’ information, command and fire capabilities have been recently exposed by Rheinmetall defense industry. One of them...

Over the past decade, the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) has grown from a research experiment into one of the most widely used digital tools...

One of the main constraints on unmanned aerial systems has always been endurance. Even large drones with long range are limited by fuel capacity,...

Airborne early warning remains one of the most difficult capabilities to replace. Modern air combat depends on long-range detection, tracking, and battle management, yet...

Space-based thermal imaging satellites

Unmanned ground vehicles are increasingly used to reduce risk to personnel in complex environments, but they face a persistent weakness: exposure to small, hard-to-detect...

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

Subsea robots fulfill various missions in data collection, but not all of them are capable of reaching long ranges. Aquanaut is a multipurpose subsea...

A new technology could pave the way for semi-autonomous naval vessels with much smaller crews. Transferring naval command rooms that are currently always on-board...

Attend the seventh Conference and Exhibition on Unmanned Systems and Robotics - AUS&R 2019. Register! Representatives from government, leading defense industries, military, security forces and law...

Modern battlefields are shaped as much by the electromagnetic spectrum as by physical terrain. Communications, sensors, navigation signals, and targeting systems all depend on...
