The U.S. Army is turning to extended reality (XR) to sharpen the skills of its aerial intelligence units, with a new virtual training system...

A new weapon design under development by researchers linked to China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is drawing international attention for its potential capabilities in...

Small, low-flying drones present a growing challenge for air defenses worldwide. These one-way attack UAVs, such as Iran’s Shahed-136, are difficult to detect and...

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...

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

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

Modern militaries are generating more data than ever before, but turning that data into timely battlefield advantage remains a challenge. Sensors, drones, logistics systems,...

The Pentagon is accelerating its push into military artificial intelligence by integrating Grok, the generative AI model developed by xAI, into its secure digital...

Stealth fighters are no longer defined only by their shape. As air combat shifts toward longer ranges, dense electronic warfare, and mixed formations of...

As artificial intelligence becomes embedded across connected systems, a structural weakness is starting to show. Most AI-driven services depend heavily on centralized cloud infrastructure,...

Extending the range of high-speed missiles has long been constrained by propulsion limits. Conventional rocket motors carry both fuel and oxidizer, which adds weight...

Developing vehicles that can travel at hypersonic speeds—Mach 5 and above—poses extreme engineering challenges. At such velocities, airframes are subjected to intense vibration, aerodynamic...

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

Targeted operations in the heart of a hostile capital require an exceptionally high level of intelligence: real-time movement tracking, analysis of behavioral patterns, and...

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

The rapid spread of unmanned aerial threats is exposing a key limitation in current air defense systems: coverage gaps between ground-based sensors and high-end...

Modern air operations are increasingly shaped by the need to strike targets at long range without exposing aircraft to dense air defense systems. Traditional...

Modern military operations depend heavily on satellite navigation. From troop movements and logistics to targeting and timing synchronization, GPS-based positioning systems are deeply embedded...

Cyberattacks and the methods by which the public and private sectors deter and counter them have occupied the headlines with increasing frequency in today’s...

Israel has reportedly made exoatmospheric intercepts of the Iranian rockets on Sunday. Any missile intercepted outside the Kármán line (the boundary of Earth’s atmosphere,...

Following the immense success of the previous four cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS invites you to join the fifth cycle...

The US Army has patented a groundbreaking technology aimed at extending the flight duration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Developed by the Army Combat...
