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...

Large organizations are increasingly turning to AI to manage growing volumes of data and administrative workload. Traditional tools, such as spreadsheets, static dashboards, and...

As unmanned systems expand across air and land domains, underwater autonomy is becoming an increasingly important area of military development. Traditional submarines remain highly...

Controlling insect-based robots has long been an area of interest for researchers looking to combine the mobility and efficiency of living organisms with the...

Military planners are increasingly looking for alternatives to expensive missiles and large unmanned systems. The goal is to field platforms that can be produced...

Modern military platforms are processing more data than ever before. Sensors, cameras, AI applications, electronic warfare systems, and autonomous platforms all generate large volumes...

One of the greatest challenges facing modern air defense is no longer the single drone, but swarms of dozens or even hundreds of unmanned...

Modern military operations generate enormous amounts of information. Intelligence reports, satellite imagery, drone feeds, logistics updates and battlefield reports must all be analyzed before...

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

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...
