A new propulsion development effort focused on solid rocket motors with extended range capabilities is moving forward in the United States, following the award...

Monitoring vessel movements has become far more difficult in recent years. Ships involved in sanctions evasion, smuggling, or illicit transfers frequently disable their Automatic...

Modern air- and missile-defense systems face a growing imbalance: interceptors are becoming increasingly expensive, while offensive weapons—especially drones and guided munitions—are rapidly decreasing in...

The rapid spread of small, inexpensive drones has created a growing challenge for security forces and militaries alike. What were once isolated aerial threats...

Modern main battle tanks were designed to defeat threats coming from the front and sides. Today, that assumption no longer holds. Inexpensive first-person-view drones...

Fires move fast, and in smoke-filled homes visibility drops to near zero within minutes. Firefighters entering these environments are trained to search for people...

Modern intelligence collection is facing a structural problem. Traditional spy satellites are powerful but scarce, expensive, and vulnerable. With only a handful in orbit,...

Modern web browsers have quietly evolved from simple tools for accessing the internet into dense platforms packed with AI assistants, shopping prompts, sponsored content,...

Modern military aviation faces a growing coordination problem. As drones, sensors, and crewed platforms multiply, commanders are often forced to juggle disconnected systems that...

Modern military aircraft operate in increasingly contested airspace. Portable surface-to-air missiles, radar-guided threats, and improvised munitions pose constant risks to rotary- and fixed-wing platforms...
