As hypersonic weapons move from demonstration programs toward operational deployment, a central challenge has emerged: how to produce them quickly and affordably at scale....

Ballistic missile defense systems rely heavily on early detection and predictable flight paths. In many cases, warning time and trajectory calculation are critical for...

The growing use of drones in both military and civilian environments is creating a new type of threat that traditional air defenses are not...

The rapid spread of small drones is forcing armies to rethink how they defend moving formations. Low-cost UAVs can appear with little warning, overwhelm...

As autonomous aviation advances, one of the key challenges remains flexibility. Most current systems rely on a single, tightly integrated AI “brain” to control...

Robots have become increasingly capable in controlled environments, but they still struggle to replicate the adaptability and precision seen in animals. Biological movement relies...

The growing use of drones on the battlefield is creating a new challenge for air defense systems. Small, low-cost drones can operate individually or...

The growing use of drones is creating new security challenges far beyond traditional battlefields. Ports, shipping lanes, offshore platforms, and commercial vessels are increasingly...

Ransomware remains one of the most disruptive cyber threats facing organizations today. Attackers continuously develop new techniques to bypass traditional security tools, making it...

Finding security flaws in modern software has become increasingly difficult. Today's applications are built from layers of code, third-party libraries and application programming interfaces...

Resupplying personnel in remote or contested areas is one of the most difficult challenges in military and emergency operations. Landing a drone to deliver...

Hypersonic vehicles create an unusually difficult navigation problem. Traveling at several times the speed of sound leaves little room for positioning errors, while satellite...

The United States Air Force (USAF) has contracted Northrop Grumman for its planned Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW)- an air-to-ground weapon designed to clear enemy...

The highly advanced hypersonic missile tracking satellite array tracked its first hypersonic test launch, as reported by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The satellites...

In recent years, smartwatches have become more common. Useful for athletes who want to track their achievements, patients who want to track their health,...

Researchers from Princeton and MIT have uncovered a method for intercepting underwater communications, challenging long-standing assumptions about the security of sonar transmissions. By using...

As part of the "Definitely Defense" conference organized by iHLS in collaboration with Amit Pollak Matalon & Co. and Deloitte, a panel of leading...

A recent report by The Economist suggested that newer variants of the Iranian-designed Shahed UAVs, commonly used by Russia in its war with Ukraine,...

Chinese aerospace engineers have proposed a new system that could significantly improve the ability of drones to evade missile attacks during the final stages...

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept in military training—it’s now a working part of how service members learn, plan, and prepare for...

Moving equipment, sensors, and unmanned systems across land–sea boundaries has long been a logistical bottleneck. Most platforms are built for either terrain or water,...

Modern ground forces face a recurring challenge: many critical tasks occur in places too dangerous or too unpredictable for soldiers to enter safely. Minefields,...
