Modern military logistics depends on enormous networks of warehouses, suppliers and inventories, but having large amounts of data does not necessarily make those networks...

Giving AI agents internet access allows them to research information and complete tasks without a person manually navigating every website. But the same autonomy...

Modern warships can carry sophisticated air defenses, but inexpensive drones have created a difficult problem at the opposite end of the engagement range. FPV...

Small drones have become a difficult target for infantry. They can approach quickly, change direction and present a much smaller target than a conventional...

Monitoring large stretches of ocean creates a difficult resource problem for military and security forces. Ports, shipping lanes and strategic waterways may require continuous...

Getting personnel into remote or hostile territory normally requires aircraft, helicopters or prepared launch infrastructure. Those options can be noisy, detectable and dependent on...

If your startup applies to one of the following subjects, consider submitting your applications for INNOFENSE’s seventh cycle until October 15th, 2026: Early, remote...

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...

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...

Small drones have created an awkward problem for ground forces. They can be inexpensive, difficult to spot and deployed repeatedly, while intercepting them with...

iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to join the seventh cycle of INNOFENSE and receive a remarkable opportunity to showcase your technology...

Legged robots can cross terrain that stops wheeled machines, but coordinating several legs over unpredictable ground is difficult. Many robots rely on predefined gaits,...

Small robots designed to cross rough terrain face a basic mechanical challenge: jumping usually requires a mechanism to store energy, release it and then...

Detecting small drones often requires sensors to be positioned close enough to likely flight paths to pick up their signals. On a battlefield, however,...

Detecting biological contamination in the field can be difficult. Military personnel operating in an unfamiliar environment may need to determine whether equipment, buildings or...

Small, unmanned boats are increasingly being used for surveillance, logistics and other maritime missions, but their usefulness has traditionally ended at the water's surface....

Supplying electricity on the modern battlefield is becoming almost as important as delivering fuel or ammunition. Military units now rely on drones, electronic warfare...

Following the immense success of the previous cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to...

Anti-submarine aircraft traditionally need to get relatively close to the area where a submarine is believed to be operating before deploying a torpedo. That...

Keeping frontline forces supplied is one of the most dangerous tasks on the battlefield. Delivering ammunition, food, fuel and medical equipment often requires convoys...

Drones increasingly need to operate at night, through smoke and in other conditions where conventional cameras struggle. Thermal imaging can solve that problem by...

Modern military units are becoming increasingly dependent on electricity. Drones need regular charging, electronic warfare equipment can draw substantial power, and edge-computing systems must...
