Ground forces continue to face a familiar challenge: how to move supplies, gather intelligence, and evacuate casualties without exposing personnel to unnecessary risk. In...

The push toward more sustainable drone designs has introduced a less obvious technical challenge: materials matter. While bamboo offers clear advantages as a lightweight,...

Underwater operations present a persistent challenge for both humans and machines. Visibility is often limited, communication is constrained, and navigation can quickly become uncertain....

Short-range aerial threats have become one of the most persistent challenges in modern conflict. Rockets, mortars, and small drones are relatively inexpensive, easy to...

Extreme long-range shooting pushes multiple technologies to their limits. At distances measured in kilometers rather than meters, even small variations in ammunition, optics, wind...

Modern armored vehicles face a growing range of threats that traditional armor was never designed to handle alone. Mine blasts can injure crews even...

Modern air-defense systems face an increasingly difficult task. Drones, cruise missiles, helicopters, rockets, and high-speed aircraft can all appear simultaneously, often operating at different...

Biological threats present a unique challenge for military organizations. Information about disease outbreaks, unusual health events, laboratory findings, intelligence reports, and environmental conditions often...

Written By Or Shalom Over the past decade—and particularly in recent years—the lower airspace domain has evolved from a regulatory gray area into one of...

Flying autonomously through complex environments requires more than knowing where a drone is. The aircraft must continuously understand what surrounds it, distinguish open routes...

In response to the growing threat of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, Russian forces have introduced a new counter-drone system...

Calling all defense-tech startups! Don’t miss out on the exciting opportunity to participate in the Defense-Tech Startup Competition at the Global Defense Tech Summit...

The U.S. Army is turning to extended reality (XR) to sharpen the skills of its aerial intelligence units, with a new virtual training system...

Quantum sensing is edging closer to practical deployment in defense and maritime navigation, as demonstrated by a recent trial conducted aboard the Royal Australian...

A new thermal-camouflage poncho developed in Ukraine is offering a novel approach to soldier concealment on the modern battlefield, where infrared detection has become...

Supplying power to robotic explorers on other planets has always been one of the hardest problems in space engineering. Rovers operating millions of kilometers...

The next generation of aircraft and space systems requires the ability to conduct tests at extremely high speeds — yet today, the industry is...

Uncrewed aircraft are now central to surveillance, logistics, and reconnaissance, but their missions don’t always unfold as planned. Fuel shortages, weather shifts, and unexpected...

Modern air defenses are being pushed to their limits by faster, higher-flying, and more complex threats. Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and even...

Archer, a U.S.-based company, has been selected to integrate its advanced electric propulsion system into the "Omen" unmanned air vehicle (UAV). The Omen UAV...

Robots are getting better at sensing their surroundings, but moving safely through unfamiliar spaces remains a bottleneck. Most autonomous systems still depend on building...

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...
