A new compact electronic warfare payload, revealed at the 2025 Paris Air Show, offers light drones the ability to detect and geolocate hostile radio...

Modern air operations depend heavily on airborne early warning aircraft to detect threats, coordinate forces, and manage complex engagements across large areas. But many...

Most robots are designed around familiar biological forms. Engineers often model machines after humans, dogs, insects, or other animals, relying on centralized software and...

Engineers have long sought materials that can change their mechanical behavior depending on the situation. In robotics and protective equipment, the challenge is clear:...

Supplying forces in contested environments has become increasingly complex. Ground convoys are vulnerable to ambushes and improvised threats, while crewed aircraft face growing risks...

A new modular turret system designed for lightweight military vehicles could reshape how ground forces respond to aerial and ground threats. Developed as part...

A growing need on the modern battlefield is to deploy vast numbers of low-cost, autonomous systems rather than relying on expensive, manned platforms. This...

Striking targets deep behind enemy lines has become increasingly difficult as air defense systems grow more capable and layered. Ground-launched missiles often face range...

Designing materials that can actively change shape or function on demand remains a major challenge. Most artificial actuators rely on motors, wiring, or external...

Sixth-generation combat aircraft are expected to reshape future air combat by combining low observability, long-range operations, advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and close cooperation with...

Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...

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

A new weapon design under development by researchers linked to China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is drawing international attention for its potential capabilities in...

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...

Chinese researchers have reportedly developed a novel electronic warfare (EW) capability that enables interference with adversary systems while preserving a secure communication zone for...

Carrier-based aviation is under pressure to extend its operational reach while reducing the workload on manned aircraft. Fighter jets are often tasked not only...

Identifying military equipment quickly and accurately remains a challenge, particularly in fast-moving operational or training environments. Analysts and personnel often rely on manual comparison,...

Conventional drones rely on spinning propellers to generate lift and maneuver in the air. While effective, this approach has limitations, especially in tight, cluttered,...

Loss of pilot capability remains one of aviation’s most dangerous failure modes. Whether caused by medical issues, hypoxia, or sudden onboard emergencies, pilot incapacitation...

China’s military continues to integrate cutting-edge unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into its warfare strategies, aligning with its broader goal of mastering intelligent and cost-effective...

Written by Or Shalom Effective defense against threats such small, low-speed unmanned aerial systems (LSS - Low, Slow, Small), requires a multidimensional approach. Modern detection...
