Modern air and missile defense systems generate enormous amounts of data, but many still operate through fragmented networks where sensors, interceptors, and command systems...

As small drones become faster, cheaper, and more numerous, traditional radar systems are facing a growing challenge. Most electronically scanned array (ESA) radars detect...

Aircraft wings have followed broadly familiar shapes for more than a century, but unconventional designs can behave very differently in the air. One challenge...

A new Turkish self-propelled howitzer has entered operational service, marking a step toward greater independence in artillery production. The system, designated T-155 TTA, integrates...

General Atomics has achieved a significant milestone in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) technology with the successful integration of the Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER)...

Modern air-defense systems are forcing combat aircraft to engage targets from ever greater distances. Flying too close to heavily defended areas increases the risk...

Small unmanned aerial systems have become an increasingly common challenge for naval forces. Surveillance drones can track ship movements, collect targeting information, and operate...

Inspecting pipelines, power lines and transportation corridors presents a difficult logistical problem. These assets can stretch for hundreds of kilometers through remote terrain, making...

In a move highlighting the growing importance of autonomous military technology, defense AI firm Shield AI has announced it is raising $1.5 billion in...

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...

Small military drones are taking on increasingly complex missions, from reconnaissance and target tracking to autonomous navigation and coordinated swarm operations. Yet many of...

Urban air mobility has long faced a technical hurdle: combining vertical takeoff with efficient forward flight in a single, reliable platform. While helicopters can...

Small FPV drones have become a central tool on the modern battlefield, offering precision strike capabilities at relatively low cost. However, their effectiveness is...

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...

Europe’s growing dependence on underwater infrastructure has exposed a quiet vulnerability beneath the surface. Power cables, data links, and energy pipelines crisscross coastal waters,...

The U.S. Army is expected to conduct a military exercise this month in Poland to evaluate the operational potential of 3D-printed drones equipped with...

Airborne early warning remains one of the most difficult capabilities to replace. Modern air combat depends on long-range detection, tracking, and battle management, yet...

Navigation systems today depend heavily on satellite signals, but those signals are not always reliable. GPS can be jammed or spoofed, and in certain...

Modern air operations are increasingly shaped by the need to strike targets at long range without exposing aircraft to dense air defense systems. Traditional...

Ukraine is currently testing a German-made interceptor drone designed to neutralize kamikaze drones, such as the Shahed UAVs frequently used by Russian forces in...

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

In a step toward smarter and more responsive military gear, researchers in South Korea have unveiled a new type of fabric-based technology that transforms...
