Situational Awareness

Accessing visual information through AI typically requires smartphones, cameras, or wearable devices like smart glasses. However, these solutions often come with trade-offs: high power...

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

Naval mines remain one of the most disruptive and persistent threats in maritime operations. They are relatively simple to deploy but difficult and time-consuming...

Naval mines remain one of the most persistent threats in maritime security. Relatively inexpensive and easy to deploy, they can disrupt shipping lanes, block...

Naval forces are increasingly looking for ways to extend reach and firepower without exposing crews to risk. Traditional vessels offer capability but come with...

Tracking submarines across vast ocean areas is one of the most resource-intensive missions in naval operations. Traditional platforms, such as crewed ships and aircraft,...

The rapid spread of low-cost kamikaze drones is creating a growing challenge for air defense systems. These small, expendable platforms can be deployed in...

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...

Operating drones on the battlefield often requires soldiers to expose themselves outside armored vehicles, even in high-risk environments. While drones provide critical situational awareness,...

Robots designed to detect and track chemical sources, such as gas leaks, explosives, or hazardous materials, typically rely on multiple sensors working in perfect...

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

Identifying military equipment quickly and accurately remains a challenge, particularly in fast-moving operational or training environments. Analysts and personnel often rely on manual comparison,...

Locating a person in open terrain, especially in a hostile environment with no continuous communication, remains one of the most complex challenges in search...

Thermal cameras are widely used in drones and autonomous vehicles to detect obstacles in low-visibility conditions such as darkness, smoke or fog. By sensing...

For mobile robots operating in the real world, knowing their exact position is not optional. Autonomous navigation depends on continuous, accurate localization. Yet satellite-based...

Operating in the Arctic presents a unique set of challenges for autonomous systems and military platforms. Extreme weather, limited infrastructure and inconsistent satellite coverage...

As drones move from niche tools to everyday infrastructure, a core challenge is becoming increasingly clear: current systems struggle to meet the endurance, autonomy,...

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

Airspace surveillance is becoming more complex as traffic density increases and new types of aircraft operate at lower altitudes. Air traffic controllers are often...

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 air operations are often complicated by poor visibility. Darkness, heavy weather, smoke and dust can all degrade sensors and make it harder to...

One of the biggest obstacles to deploying very small autonomous robots is navigation. As machines shrink, the hardware required to determine position and direction...
