Exoskeletons (external skeletons) are designed to help soldiers with heavy loads and give their limbs extra movement, strength and endurance. But soldiers often face...

Modern fighter pilots are expected to do far more than fly and engage targets. They must process sensor data, manage electronic warfare systems, coordinate...

Defending against drone swarms has become one of the biggest challenges facing modern militaries. Traditional counter-drone weapons often destroy one target at a time,...

In recent years, the global system has experienced growing regional and international tension, driving many countries to seek solutions that ensure intelligence and operational...

Modern militaries rely heavily on satellites and sophisticated electronic systems for communications, navigation, intelligence gathering and precision targeting. Rather than destroying these assets with...

Naval mines remain a quiet but persistent danger. Cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can block ports, restrict maneuver, and threaten both...

The newest addition from Elbit is the Red Sky system – a tactical very short-range air defense (VSHORAD) system that is designed to protect...

Airspace management is under growing pressure. Traffic density continues to rise, low-altitude operations are expanding, and controllers are often forced to rely on a...

India’s Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has unveiled a new class of man-portable autonomous underwater vehicles (MP-AUVs), designed to make mine detection faster,...

Modern naval operations are increasingly shaped by uncertainty. Fleets must operate across wide areas, integrate manned and unmanned platforms, and function under conditions where...

Energy infrastructure is becoming a prime target in modern cyber conflict. Power generation, transmission, and distribution systems are increasingly digital, interconnected, and exposed, while...

While consumer and automotive electronics have been transitioning to lead-free technologies since 2006, defense and aerospace companies have continued to use lead-containing electronics due...

In high-intensity combat, survival often depends on how quickly advanced medical care can reach the wounded. Evacuation to fully equipped hospitals may be delayed...

Traditional rocket launches depend on large, permanent spaceports containing launch pads, control systems and specialized ground equipment. That infrastructure is expensive, geographically fixed and...

On February 11, 2025, the "Definitely Defense" conference, organized by iHLS in collaboration with Amit Pollak Matalon & Co. and Deloitte, brought together leaders...

Modern military operations generate vast amounts of data, but turning that information into actionable insight at the right moment remains a challenge. Lessons learned...

Small drones are increasingly used in environments where visibility is limited, such as collapsed buildings, smoke-filled structures, and dense vegetation, but most navigation systems...

China is reportedly expanding its fleet of coral-monitoring submersibles while planning to develop larger models that could serve for military reconnaissance purposes. A team of...
