According to EU Startups, Irish startup Octostar has raised a €6.1 million seed extension for its sovereign AI intelligence platform. Founded in 2023, the...

Modern armored units are facing a new challenge: drones are no longer a rare threat, but a constant presence. Small UAVs can locate, track,...

Modern military operations increasingly rely on long-range precision fires, but many of these capabilities have traditionally depended on ships or aircraft. In heavily contested...

Coordinating large groups of robots usually requires complex software, wireless communication, and centralized control systems. But these approaches can become fragile in unpredictable environments...

The wireless networks envisioned for the 6G era promise enormous data rates, potentially reaching terabits per second. Achieving those speeds, however, requires the use...

Traditional robots are typically built around rigid frames, motors, gears, and joints. While this design works well in structured environments, it becomes less effective...

The new microwave photonic radar can track 10 hypersonic missiles traveling up to Mach 20 and distinguish between false positives and genuine targets with...

Scientists have designed a camera that copies the unique structure of a cat’s eye, significantly enhancing imaging capabilities in low-light conditions and complex backgrounds....

Chinese researchers have reportedly developed a cutting-edge high-power microwave (HPM) weapon capable of generating electromagnetic pulses equivalent to the energy released in a nuclear...

The growing frequency of unauthorized drone activity near U.S. military facilities is highlighting a critical vulnerability in defense infrastructure—namely, the limited capacity to detect...

In a step toward smarter and more responsive military gear, researchers in South Korea have unveiled a new type of fabric-based technology that transforms...

At the Changchun air show in northeast China, engineers displayed combat drones built from retired J‑6 fighters, confirming plans to convert the Cold War–era...

Modern infrastructure is increasingly dependent on tightly connected digital systems. Power grids, transport networks, hospitals, and communication platforms all rely on data flows that...

Robots intended for combat support or hazardous-duty missions typically rely on pre-programmed actions or remote-control interfaces, limiting how precisely they can mimic human movement....

Operating aircraft over heavily defended territory has become increasingly difficult as air-defense systems grow more capable and networked. Traditional surveillance platforms struggle to remain...

As electric and autonomous vehicles take on more driving tasks, understanding exactly how a car behaves at any given moment becomes critical. One of...

Navies are facing a growing challenge offshore: how to maintain persistent awareness and protection across vast maritime areas without tying up crewed vessels for...

Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...

Air and missile defense planners are facing a rapidly widening threat spectrum. Beyond traditional aircraft, modern forces must contend with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles,...

Countering long-range attack drones has become a persistent challenge for air defense planners. Low-cost, long-endurance UAVs can loiter for hours and strike far from...

Drone swarms have become one of the defining threats of the current Ukraine-Russia conflict. Low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles can be launched in large numbers...

As unmanned aircraft become central to modern combat, another challenge is emerging: what happens after a drone goes down. Crashed systems can contain sensitive...
