Extending the range of high-speed missiles has long been constrained by propulsion limits. Conventional rocket motors carry both fuel and oxidizer, which adds weight...

Developing vehicles that can travel at hypersonic speeds—Mach 5 and above—poses extreme engineering challenges. At such velocities, airframes are subjected to intense vibration, aerodynamic...

Modern air operations are often complicated by poor visibility. Darkness, heavy weather, smoke and dust can all degrade sensors and make it harder to...

Targeted operations in the heart of a hostile capital require an exceptionally high level of intelligence: real-time movement tracking, analysis of behavioral patterns, and...

As drones take on a larger role in intelligence and surveillance missions, the demand for faster and more autonomous data processing is growing. Traditional...

The rapid spread of unmanned aerial threats is exposing a key limitation in current air defense systems: coverage gaps between ground-based sensors and high-end...

Tracking submarines across vast ocean areas is one of the most resource-intensive missions in naval operations. Traditional platforms, such as crewed ships and aircraft,...

The modern battlefield is becoming increasingly crowded and complex. Drones, sensors, cameras, radars, and weapons systems all operate simultaneously, generating enormous volumes of data....

Modern soldiers increasingly operate with multiple connected devices at once, such as radios, sensors, cameras, navigation systems, hearing protection, and digital battlefield applications. While...

Drone swarms are posing an increasing challenge to air-defense systems. Small, unmanned aircraft can be launched in large numbers, attack from multiple directions, and...

Software vulnerabilities remain one of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity. Modern organizations operate thousands of applications, cloud services, libraries, and dependencies, making it increasingly...

The growing use of small drones around military installations has forced defense organizations to rethink how they protect sensitive facilities. Commercially available unmanned aircraft...

The rapid growth of military drone operations is exposing a major weakness in traditional air defense. While medium-sized unmanned aircraft used for reconnaissance and...

Modern armored vehicles are increasingly equipped with camouflage, thermal-management technologies and other measures intended to make them harder to identify and engage. At the...

Despite technological advances, the load ordinary soldiers carry in 2018 is probably greater than it’s ever been, and there are constant efforts to make...

25 of the world's leading AI scientists are calling for world leaders to take stronger action on AI risks and warning that the progress...

iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to join the fifth cycle of INNOFENSE and receive a remarkable opportunity to showcase your technology...

The U.S. Marine Corps is set to bolster its anti-drone capabilities with the deployment of the Leonidas Expeditionary, a cutting-edge high-power microwave (HPM) system...

An innovation developed by a team of Chinese scientists has the potential of revolutionizing electronic warfare by using drones to deceive enemy radar systems....

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has entered into a five-year research and development partnership with Seerist, aimed at advancing its use of...

A new drone interceptor has been unveiled that aims to counter hostile UAVs quickly and efficiently—without relying on explosive warheads. Developed by French startup...

A new unmanned counter-drone platform will make its debut at this year’s AUSA conference, combining high-power microwave technology with a fully autonomous ground vehicle....
