In an era where cyber threats evolve at an alarming pace and operational quietude can be disrupted at any moment, the traditional approach to...

Modern military operations increasingly rely on unmanned systems, but coordinating them effectively remains a challenge. Drones operating in the air, on the surface, or...

Unmanned aerial vehicles used for long-range reconnaissance face a familiar set of tradeoffs. Internal combustion engines offer endurance but generate noise and heat that...

Modern warfare presents extreme risks to soldiers conducting reconnaissance and direct action missions. Operating in complex, contested environments exposes personnel to constant threats, making...

Amphibious assaults place unique demands on armored vehicles. Platforms must survive open-water transit, land directly onto hostile shores, and then continue operating inland against...

Resupplying frontline units has always carried risk. Ground convoys remain vulnerable to surveillance, ambush, long-range fires, and loitering munitions. At the same time, modern...

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

As air forces adapt to more contested environments, there is growing demand for platforms that can operate alongside manned aircraft while reducing risk to...

According to a report from Washington Technology, defense tech startups have secured $405 million in a recent series of funding rounds, signaling strong investor...

Spanish startup Xoople secured $130 million in a Series B round to advance its Earth-mapping AI, according to Angel Investors Network. Founded in 2019,...

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...

Building small flying robots that move like insects has long been a challenge for engineers. Flapping-wing systems are highly agile and energy efficient, but...

Modern artillery systems are under growing pressure to operate faster, strike farther, and survive in increasingly transparent battlefields. Counter-battery radars, drones, and long-range surveillance...

Modern military communications systems face a persistent challenge: every network, radio, satellite link, and data channel experiences different types of interference, signal degradation, and...

Protecting borders, critical infrastructure, and transportation corridors is becoming increasingly challenging as the number of threats and users operating within these environments continues to...

Vision has improved dramatically in modern robots, but touch remains one of the most difficult human senses to reproduce. Detecting exactly how much pressure...

Modern fighter pilots are expected to process enormous amounts of information while flying at high speed, tracking multiple airborne threats and coordinating with other...

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...

Lockheed Martin has unveiled a groundbreaking development in military aviation: the ability to control drones using artificial intelligence (AI) directly from the cockpit of...

The growing frequency of unauthorized drone activity near U.S. military facilities is highlighting a critical vulnerability in defense infrastructure—namely, the limited capacity to detect...

A newly unveiled satellite antenna capable of simultaneously operating on both Ku- and Ka-band frequencies is poised to change how military forces maintain secure...

Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to counter unmanned aerial threats have taken an unconventional turn with the deployment of repurposed agricultural aircraft—specifically, a Czechoslovakian Z-137 crop duster—now...
