Israel’s National Drone Initiative has entered a new stage aimed at testing the continuous operation of drone systems in real-world environments — moving beyond...

Launching and retrieving drones normally requires a stationary platform, clear airspace, and operators with line-of-sight control. These constraints limit how quickly drones can be...

Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...

One of the main limits on unmanned aircraft operations is endurance. Even the most efficient drones eventually have to land or return to base...

Modern battlefields are increasingly shaped by small, fast, and expendable aerial systems. Forces operating under constant surveillance and electronic warfare pressure need tools that...

Energy infrastructure is becoming a prime target in modern cyber conflict. Power generation, transmission, and distribution systems are increasingly digital, interconnected, and exposed, while...

Monitoring vast maritime areas has become one of the harder problems for modern air forces. Surface vessels can blend into sea clutter, operate far...

Creating interactive, controllable digital environments is a complex, resource-intensive endeavor. Generating a responsive world from a simple prompt, rather than extensive coding, has been...

Autonomous robots still struggle with a basic problem that animals solve effortlessly: how to keep moving when conditions suddenly change. Uneven terrain, loss of...

Firefighting in industrial sites, disaster zones, and remote environments often exposes crews to extreme heat, toxic smoke, and unstable structures. While remotely controlled unmanned...

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

Discover why defense tech funding is surging as investors pour capital into AI security and autonomous cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure.

The rapid spread of small drones on the battlefield is exposing a persistent weakness in traditional air defense: low-altitude coverage. Quadcopters and loitering munitions...

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...
