At Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), researchers are refining a pair of artificial intelligence tools that could significantly change how the U.S....

Artificial intelligence is becoming an essential part of modern military systems, but deploying it in operational environments presents a challenge. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and...

New fiber-optic drone technology was recently seen in Russia, representing a significant advancement in countering electronic warfare tactics, which have recently hampered Russian operations...

Modern militaries increasingly rely on unmanned aircraft to perform reconnaissance, strike, and electronic warfare tasks. But as these missions grow more complex, the challenge...

Modern combat aircraft generate enormous amounts of data, from engine health and avionics status to mission-system performance. As fleets age and platforms become more...

Cyber operations are becoming more complex, and the growing role of artificial intelligence is accelerating that shift. Security teams already struggle to handle the...

In March 2022, Skyline Nav AI secured a $750k contract from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to provide GPS-independent localization capability for...

The growing use of drones on the battlefield is creating a new challenge for air defense systems. Small, low-cost drones can operate individually or...

L3Harris will provide the Space Development Agency (SDA) with 16 satellites to detect, monitor, and track hypersonic missiles aimed at the US and its...

Border surveillance and wide-area monitoring often require small unmanned aircraft that can stay airborne for extended periods, carry multiple sensor types, and operate reliably...

Apple recently failed its bid to dismiss a lawsuit alleging its AirTag devices help stalkers track their victims. San Francisco District Judge Vince Chhabria ruled...

Fortified positions have traditionally required heavy munitions or specialized delivery platforms to neutralize. Bunkers, reinforced shelters, and underground structures are designed to absorb or...

AI-powered drone operating system

A new development in unmanned ground systems has been validated in Ukraine, where a remote weapon station (RWS) was successfully integrated and tested on...

Autonomous systems struggle most at close range. While long-distance sensing is relatively mature, many accidents and failures occur within tens of meters, where blind...

As the number of drones on the battlefield continues to grow, so does the challenge of operating them efficiently. While a single operator once...

As hypersonic weapons move from demonstration programs toward operational deployment, a central challenge has emerged: how to produce them quickly and affordably at scale....

Modern conflicts no longer unfold solely on physical battlefields. Alongside kinetic strikes, digital infrastructure has become both a target and a weapon. The opening...

Modern armored vehicles have become increasingly difficult to defeat as active protection systems, reactive armor, and rapid maneuvering continue to advance. Conventional anti-tank weapons...

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has awarded a major contract to develop the next-generation Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, a critical...

Air combat is becoming increasingly complex as threats multiply and reaction times shrink. Pilots are expected to manage dense sensor data, coordinate with multiple...

Military training has traditionally focused on observable outcomes - whether a task was completed correctly or a decision was made on time. But this...
