Major international sporting events present a unique security challenge. Large crowds, unfamiliar visitors, confined urban spaces, and heightened global attention create conditions where even...

Modern battlefields increasingly depend on wireless connectivity. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and ground units all rely on radio-frequency signals for navigation, communication, and coordination. Yet...

Maintaining armored vehicles is often as demanding as operating them. Tank engines are packed with sensors, wiring, fuel lines, and mechanical components layered in...

Ground forces continue to face a familiar challenge: how to move supplies, gather intelligence, and evacuate casualties without exposing personnel to unnecessary risk. In...

CIA technology acquisition overhaul

Airborne forces are designed for rapid deployment, but they often face a critical limitation once on the ground: lack of immediate heavy support. While...

As the volume of information flowing into military headquarters continues to grow, decision-making becomes increasingly complex. Satellites, drones, reconnaissance aircraft, intelligence systems, and other...

Robots designed for industrial inspection or emergency response often face a tradeoff. Wheeled platforms can move quickly and efficiently over long distances but struggle...

Maritime surveillance often requires both surface vessels and aerial drones to maintain awareness over large areas. While drones provide a much wider field of...

DroneShield was originally founded around a small scientific initiative - a laser system for detecting and neutralizing mosquitoes - but operational realities in recent...

A research team from EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland have developed a fixed-wing drone that can survive crashes far better than...

Mutable Tactics, a DefenceTech startup, secures €1.8M in pre-seed funding to advance its AI technology for autonomous drone swarms, revolutionizing defense operations.

As drone warfare scales up, one problem has become increasingly acute: volume without coordination. When thousands of unmanned systems are launched daily across a...

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

The U.S. Air Force is introducing a new in-flight training capability for its fleet of F-16 fighter jets with the integration of the Airborne...

Unmanned systems are increasingly used across modern operations, but they often function separately. Ground robots provide mobility and access to difficult terrain, while aerial...

Collecting data at sea often requires researchers to choose between two very different types of vehicles. Aerial drones can quickly survey large areas but...

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

Drone threats at sea are becoming more frequent and harder to manage. Small, low-cost UAVs can be launched in large numbers, forcing naval forces...

Modern naval forces face a difficult equation at sea. Warships are expected to operate closer to contested coastlines, where radar clutter, civilian traffic, and...

Inspecting the underside of a ship is a difficult but important security task. Hulls can conceal structural damage, foreign objects or potentially dangerous devices...

Hypersonic weapons promise unmatched speed and reach, but they are held back by a fundamental engineering problem: propulsion efficiency. Flying faster than Mach 5...
