Electronic warfare is no longer confined to large ships, fixed sites, or crewed aircraft. In littoral environments—where coastlines, islands, and narrow waterways limit maneuvering...

Moving extremely heavy military payloads has always involved trade-offs. Conventional missile launch vehicles rely on large diesel engines, rigid axles, and complex mechanical linkages....

Small, fast FPV drones have become one of the most difficult threats for ground forces to manage. Flying low and maneuvering aggressively, these systems...

The Pentagon recently embarked on an ambitious journey to implement artificial intelligence (AI) tools across logistics, maintenance, and intelligence functions. Expectations were high: AI...

As combat aircraft take on longer missions and pilots rely more heavily on helmet-mounted sensors and displays, the physical burden on aircrew has become...

Modern air campaigns face a growing mismatch between targets and available weapons. Long-range cruise missiles offer precision and survivability, but their high cost and...

Most internet users rely on password managers to handle dozens, sometimes hundreds, of login credentials. These tools promise convenience and security by storing sensitive...

As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in intelligence analysis, weapons development and operational planning, control over how these systems are used has become a strategic...

Unmanned aerial systems have become a central element in modern conflict, but their effectiveness depends heavily on navigation accuracy, communication links and targeting precision....

Modern combat platforms are generating more data than ever before, but turning that information into actionable decisions remains a challenge. Sensors, radios, and surveillance...

Soft robots are often seen as a promising solution for operating in delicate or constrained environments, but they come with a key limitation: movement....

Unmanned ground vehicles are increasingly used to reduce risk to personnel in complex environments, but they face a persistent weakness: exposure to small, hard-to-detect...

Robots have become increasingly capable in controlled environments, but they still struggle to replicate the adaptability and precision seen in animals. Biological movement relies...

Modern air-defense systems are becoming increasingly capable of detecting, tracking, and intercepting conventional threats. Cruise missiles can fly low and maneuver around terrain, but...

One of the less visible challenges in modern defense programs is manufacturing. Even when advanced weapons are fully designed and tested, production bottlenecks can...

Convex is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. A main and critical need for the IDF ground units is...

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

The US Army has significantly bolstered its unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capabilities with a contract awarded to Virginia-based AeroVironment (AV). The contract, valued at...

China’s Purple Mountain Laboratories has revealed an innovative microcomputer designed to significantly bolster cybersecurity. The new device, called ESC0830, is a highly advanced microcontroller...

At the "Definitely Defense" conference, organized by iHLS in collaboration with Amit Pollak Matalon & Co. and Deloitte, a panel of leading experts gathered...

The British Army is preparing a major doctrinal shift that places drones and autonomous systems at the center of its future combat operations. According...

Chinese researchers have reportedly developed a novel electronic warfare (EW) capability that enables interference with adversary systems while preserving a secure communication zone for...
