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...
The Shape-Shifting “Octo Robot” Built for Stealth
Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them easy to detect and limit their ability...
Meet the Mini Drone That Flips Like a Bug and Navigates...
Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along controlled paths, but they typically...
The Fighter Helmet That Replaces Night-Vision Goggles Entirely
Modern fighter operations place growing cognitive and physical demands on pilots. High-speed engagements, dense sensor inputs, and operations at night or in poor weather...
A New 3D View of the World Built for Preparedness and...
Understanding how people build, expand, and occupy space has become a strategic priority for governments and emergency planners. Yet most global datasets still represent...
New Mobile Scanner Detects Brain Damage Minutes After a Blast
Protecting personnel from the long-term neurological effects of blast exposure has been a persistent challenge for militaries worldwide. Shock waves from heavy weapons or...
The Robot That Changes Shape to Beat Any Terrain
Ground robots often struggle with one recurring problem: every terrain demands a different movement strategy. Smooth surfaces favor wheels, rubble demands crawling, and narrow...
Origami Reinvented: A Fold Tough Enough for Field Use
Emergency responders and humanitarian agencies often struggle with the same issue: how to deploy sturdy, lightweight shelters quickly in disaster zones where transport is...
A Helping Hand for Drones on the Move
Launching and retrieving drones normally requires a stationary platform, clear airspace, and operators with line-of-sight control. These constraints limit how quickly drones can be...
A Billion Reasons Investors Are Betting on Israeli Defense Tech
Israel’s security landscape has increasingly depended on rapid technological adaptation, but until recently, defense-focused startups struggled to attract significant investment. The year 2025 marks...
New Counter-Drone Tech Captures, Not Destroys
Unauthorized drones have become a persistent security challenge for airports, stadiums, prisons, and other sensitive locations. These sites increasingly rely on perimeter sensors, but...
A Breakthrough Lets Forensics Recover “Impossible” Fingerprints
Firearms investigators have long worked under a simple assumption: once a round is fired, any fingerprint left on the cartridge case is effectively destroyed....
New Wearable Links Human Gestures to Machines
A new wearable system developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego is redefining how humans can interact with machines. The device...
Wearable Tech Makes Underwater Missions Easier and Safer
Diving remains one of the most physically demanding tasks in marine operations. Whether for research, construction, or security missions, human divers must constantly fight...
