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

As military activity expands beyond the atmosphere, one problem is becoming increasingly clear: preparing for conflict in orbit is fundamentally different from training for...

A new generation of unmanned ground vehicles is blurring the line between agricultural automation and defense technology. The Thor robot, developed by Spanish deep-tech...

The Philippine Army has begun testing artificial intelligence to assist in the detection of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO), aiming to improve safety for...

Flying autonomous drones through unpredictable environments remains one of the biggest technical challenges in robotics. In confined spaces such as collapsed buildings, industrial sites,...

The growing variety of drone threats is creating a new challenge for air-defense operators. Modern battlefields can include everything from commercial quadcopters and first-person-view...

A new type of drone is strengthening Ukraine’s battlefield surveillance with the ability to detect enemy fire using sound alone. Developed by German firm...

Maintaining armored vehicles is often as demanding as operating them. Tank engines are packed with sensors, wiring, fuel lines, and mechanical components layered in...

Europe’s growing dependence on underwater infrastructure has exposed a quiet vulnerability beneath the surface. Power cables, data links, and energy pipelines crisscross coastal waters,...

Tracking personnel in large, dynamic environments has long relied on manual updates, spreadsheets, and fragmented reporting systems. In fast-moving operations, these methods can lag...

A new research initiative by Singapore Management University is exploring how to enhance aircraft surface inspections using large vision-language models (LVLMs), a form of...

Controlling large numbers of attack drones has become one of the biggest challenges in modern warfare. Individually piloted systems already strain operators, while electronic...

Tracking submarines across vast ocean areas is one of the most resource-intensive missions in naval operations. Traditional platforms, such as crewed ships and aircraft,...

Navigation systems today depend heavily on satellite signals, but those signals are not always reliable. GPS can be jammed or spoofed, and in certain...

Extending the range of high-speed missiles has long been constrained by propulsion limits. Conventional rocket motors carry both fuel and oxidizer, which adds weight...

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is investing $5 million in a Florida-based startup, NUVIEW, to advance the development of space-based LiDAR technology. The...

A recent test flight of an autonomous helicopter equipped with advanced autonomy software has demonstrated key capabilities in support of future unmanned logistics missions....

Soft robots are often praised for their flexibility, safety, and ability to interact with delicate environments. But many of these systems still depend on...

For much of the post–World War II era, Japan kept defense-spending tightly constrained, relying on alliances and a strictly defensive posture to ensure security....

Underwater missions are often constrained by endurance. Most autonomous underwater vehicles rely on batteries, which limit how long they can remain submerged before needing...

The modern battlefield presents a persistent challenge: adversaries are learning quickly, adapting to new technologies, and forcing defense systems to respond dynamically. At the...

Security labels, optical data storage systems, and environmental sensors often face the same limitation: once information is encoded, it remains static. Creating materials that...
