Air-defense systems have become highly effective at intercepting rockets and missiles, but they come with a persistent problem: cost and capacity. Low-cost threats such...

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

Chariot Defense, an Israeli startup, secured $34M in seed funding to develop an AI platform for air defense cybersecurity threats.

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

A team at MIT Lincoln Laboratory has developed a compact and inexpensive hydrophone that could transform underwater sensing across defense, industrial, and scientific functions....

Small units operating at the edge of the battlefield often face a familiar problem: they need precision strike capability, but traditional close air support...

Small unmanned aerial systems have become an increasingly common challenge for naval forces. Surveillance drones can track ship movements, collect targeting information, and operate...

In newly released footage quickly gaining widespread attention, China has showcased a remarkably realistic bird-like drone, which appears to be designed mainly for reconnaissance...

In the past few years, drones have been emerging as a central element of modern defense strategy. These systems offer cost-effective, flexible alternatives to...

Ice remains one of the most underestimated hazards in transportation. On roads, invisible ice contributes to a significant share of weather-related crashes each year....

General Stephen Whiting, commander of US Space Command, recently warned lawmakers that China and Russia have “transformed space into a contested warfighting domain.” Whiting...

By Arie Egozi Even the best security equipment in the world will amount to nothing if the operator isn’t of the highest level. The situation...

Long-range strike capabilities often face a trade-off between endurance, precision, and survivability. Systems that can reach distant targets may depend heavily on satellite navigation,...

Modern surveillance operations increasingly demand radar systems that can detect smaller targets, operate across multiple environments, and integrate quickly onto different platforms. Traditional systems...

Europe’s security planners are increasingly focused on the blurring line between conventional and nuclear missile forces along NATO’s eastern flank. Mobile missile systems that...

Soft robots are often praised for their flexibility, safety, and ability to interact with delicate environments. But many of these systems still depend on...
