Over the past several decades, nations and armed organizations have invested heavily in moving strategic assets underground. Combat tunnels, bunkers, ammunition depots, command centers,...

Satellites have become a critical part of modern military operations, providing communications, navigation, intelligence and targeting data to forces around the world. As dependence...

Apco Aviation Defense is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to...

Modern military operations are influenced by more than events on the physical battlefield. Social media posts, messaging platforms, videos, news reports and foreign-language sources...

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is testing a system that integrates 3D printing with drone technology to facilitate equipment repairs in remote locations...

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)...

In a covert effort to interfere with military support flowing to Ukraine, Russian state-sponsored hackers have been systematically targeting critical defense and transport infrastructure...

Lockheed Martin has announced a successful flight demonstration of a new AI-enabled Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system, aimed at improving maritime surveillance capabilities. The...

A U.S. research team has launched a new effort to solve one of the most significant technical challenges facing next-generation rocket propulsion: developing materials...

Technology designed to detect earthquakes is now showing unexpected potential in airspace monitoring. Researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks have demonstrated that seismic...

Moving equipment, sensors, and unmanned systems across land–sea boundaries has long been a logistical bottleneck. Most platforms are built for either terrain or water,...

Small first-person-view (FPV) drones have become a central tool in modern conflicts, but training operators remains a challenge. Real-world FPV flying demands quick reactions,...

One of the main constraints on unmanned aerial systems has always been endurance. Even large drones with long range are limited by fuel capacity,...

Icing on aircraft surfaces remains a persistent operational challenge. During cold and wet conditions on the ground, ice accumulation can delay departures, disrupt schedules,...

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

Modern air defenses are forcing strike systems to evolve rapidly. Weapons that once relied on persistence and operator control are now expected to reach...

Small units operating at the edge of the battlefield often face a familiar problem: they need precision strike capability, but traditional close air support...

Locating radioactive material quickly is one of the most difficult challenges facing emergency and security services. Hazardous sources can be extremely small, mobile, and...

Small drones and mobile robots increasingly operate in tight, cluttered environments where awareness must be both wide and fast. Conventional camera systems can capture...

Maintaining a credible sea-based nuclear deterrent requires more than just advanced missiles. Submarines tasked with strategic patrols must remain undetected for extended periods while...

As mobile networks evolve toward more open and software-driven architectures, they are becoming more flexible — but also more exposed. Modern 5G systems rely...

Operating drones on the battlefield often requires soldiers to expose themselves outside armored vehicles, even in high-risk environments. While drones provide critical situational awareness,...
