A Robot That Lifts 100x Its Weight – Without Motors
Robots are often limited by the very components that power them. Traditional electric motors provide strength and precision, but they also add weight, rigidity,...
From Months to Seconds: The AI Startup Automating Construction Permits
Foldstruct is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to the...
From Months to Days: How Robots Are Fixing Fleet Readiness
Naval forces have long faced a persistent challenge: maintenance delays that keep critical vessels out of operation for extended periods. Inspections of hulls, decks,...
Why Modern Navies Prefer Quiet Missiles Over Fast Ones
Modern naval forces face a difficult equation at sea. Warships are expected to operate closer to contested coastlines, where radar clutter, civilian traffic, and...
The Small Interceptor Built to Stop Big Drone Threats
The rapid spread of low-cost, one-way attack drones is creating a growing challenge for air defense systems (specifically the Shahed missiles). These platforms are...
Forget Contractors: These Drones Are Built by Airmen Themselves
Modern air forces are under growing pressure to adapt quickly to a battlefield where unmanned systems evolve faster than traditional procurement cycles. Commercial drones...
This New Robot Tech Keeps Troops Out of CBRN Danger
Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear hazards remain among the most dangerous threats soldiers can face. Detecting and responding to these risks is often slow,...
Field Trial Validates GPS-Free, Gravity-Based Quantum Navigation at Sea
Quantum sensing is edging closer to practical deployment in defense and maritime navigation, as demonstrated by a recent trial conducted aboard the Royal Australian...
Why Future Minehunting May Happen From Shore, Not at Sea
Naval mines continue to pose a disproportionate threat to modern fleets. Relatively cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can deny access to...
Lockheed Martin Develops Quantum-Powered Navigation System for Military Use
Lockheed Martin has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Defense’s Innovation Unit (DIU) to create a cutting-edge, quantum-enhanced Inertial Navigation System...
TAK Turns Smartphones into Battlefield Coordination Tools
Over the past decade, the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) has grown from a research experiment into one of the most widely used digital tools...
China’s New Ground Robots to Use Thermobaric Weapons in Urban Combat
Researchers in China are exploring the integration of thermobaric weapons into ground robots, which could drastically alter the dynamics of urban warfare. These weaponized...
A New Robot Makes Explosives No Longer Stand a Chance
Explosive ordnance disposal remains one of the most dangerous missions on the modern battlefield. Even when technicians do everything right, repeated exposure to blast...
From Zero to Swarm in Seconds
The growing use of drones on the battlefield is shifting the focus toward speed and scale. Small unmanned systems can be deployed in large...
A Smarter Camera That Tracks Movement, Not Frames
Modern sensing systems face a growing challenge: too much data. Traditional cameras capture and process full image frames continuously, even when little is changing...
Practice Makes Prepared: Wargaming for Modern Threats
Governments today face a growing set of crises that no longer unfold one at a time. Cyberattacks intersect with misinformation campaigns, supply chains respond...
Why Future Ground Robots Won’t Need Pre-Programmed Gaits
Robots are often expected to operate where wheels fail: collapsed buildings, uneven ground, mud, ice, or debris-covered floors. Yet most legged robots still struggle...
The Quantum Trick That Lets Autonomous Systems Coordinate Without Sending Signals
Modern autonomous systems depend heavily on continuous communication. Drone swarms, robotic teams, and distributed AI agents typically exchange data wirelessly to coordinate movement, share...
A Rifle-Carrying Drone That Almost Never Misses
Small drones are already reshaping ground combat, but most weaponized variants still struggle with accuracy. Recoil, vibration, wind, and constant micro-movements make it difficult...
Too Embedded to Remove? This AI Model Was Used in Very...
Advanced artificial intelligence models have become increasingly integrated into defense planning and operational workflows, but their growing role is also exposing tensions between military...
A Counter-Drone System Anyone Can Operate
The growing use of small drones is creating a new operational burden: countering them often requires trained specialists, dedicated equipment, and time-consuming setup. In...
What If Fuel Didn’t Need to Be Transported Anymore?
Fuel supply remains one of the most vulnerable aspects of modern military operations. Moving fuel across long distances requires convoys, infrastructure, and protection, creating...
