Israel’s high-tech sector is currently undergoing one of the deepest transformations in its history – the broad integration of AI-based tools into day-to-day work....

In recent years, the global system has experienced growing regional and international tension, driving many countries to seek solutions that ensure intelligence and operational...

Minefields remain one of the most time-consuming and dangerous obstacles for ground forces. Traditional breaching tools—mechanical rollers, plows, and manual clearing—can take hours, require...

Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear hazards remain among the most dangerous threats soldiers can face. Detecting and responding to these risks is often slow,...

Aircraft availability in forward areas often comes down to one limiting factor: fuel. In expeditionary environments, helicopters and transport aircraft are frequently forced to...

Seeing clearly in low visibility remains one of the hardest problems for modern forces. Smoke, fog, darkness, and cluttered terrain all degrade traditional optics,...

Firefighting and disaster response increasingly place human crews in environments that are unstable, toxic, or simply unreachable. Collapsed structures, chemical leaks, tunnel fires, and...

The gap between the theoretical capabilities of drones and their proven performance in the field remains a persistent challenge. According to the Drone Center...

Rocket artillery has long been valued for its firepower, but it carries a built-in weakness: once a launcher fires, its position is quickly exposed....

Military AI ethics debate

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operate in an environment that is constantly shifting. Sudden currents, turbulence and pressure changes can destabilize rigid wings and control...

Naval forces have long faced a persistent challenge: maintenance delays that keep critical vessels out of operation for extended periods. Inspections of hulls, decks,...

High-altitude surveillance aircraft are designed to operate beyond the reach of most threats, but modern air defense systems are steadily closing that gap. Advanced...

The rapid spread of small drones is forcing armies to rethink how they defend moving formations. Low-cost UAVs can appear with little warning, overwhelm...

Unmanned ground vehicles are increasingly used to reduce risk to personnel in complex environments, but they face a persistent weakness: exposure to small, hard-to-detect...

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

Machine guns remain a core element of infantry firepower, but the way soldiers use them has changed significantly over the past two decades. Modern...

In an interesting initiative, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has begun repurposing components from retired Royal Air Force Tornado jets, recycling them into...

The MQ-72C Logistics Connector, a rotary-wing unmanned aerial system (UAS) derived from the UH-72 Lakota platform, is set to begin trials with integrated autonomous...

As drones become an increasingly common weapon on the battlefield, protecting troops on the move has become a top priority. In southern Germany, the...

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....

OpenAI’s recent discussion on the future of AI has put a spotlight on a challenge that is quickly moving from academic debate to operational...
