Modern military and civilian systems face a growing power and connectivity problem. Sensors, communications, and autonomous platforms all demand more energy, yet batteries add...

China reportedly intends to improve the data security of its industrial sector in order to effectively contain any “major risks,” a process that is...

For aircraft flying far from land, communication remains one of aviation’s most persistent limitations. Once planes move beyond the reach of ground-based radio—typically a...

A standardisation of common protocols and interconnections is required if the US Department of Defense (DoD) is to take advantage of the Internet of...

As small drones become faster, cheaper, and more numerous, traditional radar systems are facing a growing challenge. Most electronically scanned array (ESA) radars detect...

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...

Ground forces increasingly face small, fast-moving threats at close range—whether hostile personnel, light vehicles, or unmanned systems. Conventional weapons can address these risks, but...

The growing use of drones on the battlefield is shifting the focus toward speed and scale. Small unmanned systems can be deployed in large...

In a landmark ruling, a US district court found NSO Group, a commercial spyware company, guilty of violating key computer crime laws related to...

Rising demand for missiles has exposed a persistent challenge across defense supply chains: propulsion components are difficult to scale quickly without introducing delays or...

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

Supplying forces in contested environments has become increasingly complex. Ground convoys are vulnerable to ambushes and improvised threats, while crewed aircraft face growing risks...

Small unmanned aerial systems have become a routine threat on modern battlefields and around naval vessels. Commercial quadcopters and improvised drones are inexpensive, agile,...

Small drones have become a common tool for surveillance, inspection, and reconnaissance, but they come with limits. Battery life restricts endurance, electric motors generate...

Modern air-defense networks face an increasingly diverse set of threats. Combat aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, and tactical ballistic missiles can approach from different altitudes...

Naval forces face a growing need to monitor and operate across vast stretches of ocean without relying solely on crewed ships. Long-range patrols, intelligence...

Forget the battlefields of old. A silent, rapid transformation is underway, fundamentally altering the calculus of conflict and ushering in an era where speed,...

Machine guns remain a core element of infantry firepower, but the way soldiers use them has changed significantly over the past two decades. Modern...

Tracking personnel in large, dynamic environments has long relied on manual updates, spreadsheets, and fragmented reporting systems. In fast-moving operations, these methods can lag...

As networks of connected devices continue to expand, a growing problem is emerging at the hardware level. Sensors embedded in everyday systems—from cameras and...

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

The age of terror has seen many changes over the past years, with a prominent example being the phenomenon that most of us are...
