Dual-use technology

As organizations begin deploying teams of AI agents to handle complex tasks, cybersecurity is becoming a growing concern. In these multi-agent systems, several large...

Protecting critical systems becomes especially difficult once an attacker gets inside the device itself. Conventional cybersecurity tools can monitor network traffic, identify known vulnerabilities...

Traditional rocket launches depend on large, permanent spaceports containing launch pads, control systems and specialized ground equipment. That infrastructure is expensive, geographically fixed and...

Modern processors routinely predict what software will do next so they can begin executing instructions before they are actually needed. This technique, known as...

Modern military operations depend heavily on satellite navigation, secure communications and precise timing. That dependence creates vulnerabilities: GPS and other satellite signals can be...

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

Protecting digital images from manipulation has become increasingly difficult. As AI-generated content and sophisticated editing tools become more accessible, verifying whether a photo is...

Disposable electronics are becoming more common in areas like medical diagnostics, food safety, and environmental monitoring. However, most of these devices still rely on...

Large defense and government organizations often manage information across hundreds of disconnected sources. Reports, spreadsheets, databases, planning documents, and operational updates are typically stored...

Protecting large industrial sites, airports, campuses and critical infrastructure often requires continuous patrols over wide areas. Autonomous security robots are increasingly being used to...

Vision has improved dramatically in modern robots, but touch remains one of the most difficult human senses to reproduce. Detecting exactly how much pressure...

Resupplying personnel in remote or contested areas is one of the most difficult challenges in military and emergency operations. Landing a drone to deliver...

Every new generation of wireless technology places greater demands on the chips inside smartphones, base stations and connected vehicles. As 5G evolves toward 6G,...

Every minute counts during water rescue operations. Whether responding to a person swept away by strong currents or someone struggling after a boating accident,...

Aircraft wings have followed broadly familiar shapes for more than a century, but unconventional designs can behave very differently in the air. One challenge...

Eco BRICK Innovio is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to...

Smartphones separate their cellular modem from the main operating system partly to prevent problems in one component from compromising the entire device. New security...

As wireless devices continue to multiply, the radio spectrum is becoming increasingly crowded. Smartphones, connected vehicles, industrial sensors, wearables and countless other devices all...

Robots designed for industrial inspection or emergency response often face a tradeoff. Wheeled platforms can move quickly and efficiently over long distances but struggle...

Underwater environments are notoriously demanding for electronic systems. Sensors used by divers and underwater robots must withstand pressure, moisture and constant mechanical stress while...

Collapsed buildings, flooded tunnels, and debris-filled drainage systems are among the most difficult environments for search-and-rescue teams to access after natural disasters. Small ground...

Modern military communications systems face a persistent challenge: every network, radio, satellite link, and data channel experiences different types of interference, signal degradation, and...
