Situational Awareness

iHLS, in collaboration with a large defense industry is looking for companies with proven capabilities in several areas to participate in a demonstration of...

Modern military operations depend on uninterrupted communication and rapid data sharing, yet many battlefields are anything but cooperative. Urban density, electronic warfare, and natural...

Filming on water has long posed a challenge for aerial cameras. Conventional drones struggle with spray, wind, and the simple problem of takeoff and...

Countering long-range attack drones has become a persistent challenge for air defense planners. Low-cost, long-endurance UAVs can loiter for hours and strike far from...

Modern military operations generate vast amounts of data, but turning that information into actionable insight at the right moment remains a challenge. Lessons learned...

Modern air-defense systems face an increasingly difficult task. Drones, cruise missiles, helicopters, rockets, and high-speed aircraft can all appear simultaneously, often operating at different...

iHLS is delighted to host for the first time the prestigious Startup Competition for innovative technologies in the security, defense and homeland security fields,...

Chinese researchers have unveiled a new biomimetic underwater robot designed to operate almost invisibly beneath the surface. Modelled after a jellyfish, the transparent robot...

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...

Robots are often expected to operate where wheels fail: collapsed buildings, uneven ground, mud, ice, or debris-covered floors. Yet most legged robots still struggle...

Small drones and mobile robots increasingly operate in tight, cluttered environments where awareness must be both wide and fast. Conventional camera systems can capture...

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

Detecting unauthorized drones around airports, power plants, stadiums and other sensitive locations usually requires dedicated radars, radio-frequency sensors or cameras. Deploying enough of those...

Interested in innovation in the defense and security field? Join us and learn from the leading defense industries and the best experts about the...

During an emergency or disaster event, the response speed of the rescue teams and the coordination among the forces managing the incident are critical....

Modern air-defense systems face a growing challenge: the number of incoming threats is rising, and so is the cost of intercepting them. Rockets, drones,...

Modern battlefields are increasingly shaped by small, fast, and expendable aerial systems. Forces operating under constant surveillance and electronic warfare pressure need tools that...

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...
