Dual-use technology

Robots have long struggled outside carefully controlled environments. While factory automation excels at repetitive, predefined tasks, even small changes in lighting, object position, or...

Organizations are increasingly expected to share data across corporate boundaries, yet cybersecurity risks have never been higher. As partnerships, mergers, and joint technology projects...

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is reshaping energy demand in ways few power systems were designed to handle. Large-scale data centers now consume...

Laser-based data links are increasingly attractive for aircraft and space systems that need to move large volumes of information quickly. Free-space optical communication (FSOC)...

aiFWall Inc. unveiled an innovative solution for securing artificial intelligence systems. It is a dedicated firewall designed to protect enterprise AI deployments by using...

Wireless communication is becoming increasingly crowded. Radio-based links are under constant pressure from spectrum congestion, interference, and regulatory limits—challenges that are especially acute in...

Cybercrime is entering a phase where speed and scale are no longer limited by human skill. For years, defenders have tracked the evolution of...

In recent years, the defense establishment has been facing a dual challenge. On the one hand, there is a growing need for fast, flexible...

The Pentagon recently embarked on an ambitious journey to implement artificial intelligence (AI) tools across logistics, maintenance, and intelligence functions. Expectations were high: AI...

Modern combat aircraft face a steadily evolving threat environment. Radar-guided missiles launched from both air and ground platforms are becoming faster, smarter, and better...

Moving extremely heavy military payloads has always involved trade-offs. Conventional missile launch vehicles rely on large diesel engines, rigid axles, and complex mechanical linkages....

For decades, engineers have relied on a simple rule when designing stronger metals: make the grains smaller, and the material becomes harder and more...

Modern military operations increasingly take place in environments where GPS cannot be relied upon. Electronic jamming, urban terrain, dense foliage, and underground spaces can...

Naval forces are under increasing pressure to monitor vast maritime areas, protect critical sea lanes, and respond quickly to emerging threats—often with limited numbers...

Cybersecurity leaders are heading into 2026 facing a problem that is both familiar and fundamentally changed. The attack surface keeps expanding as organizations adopt...

Autonomous maritime systems are advancing faster than the frameworks designed to prove they are safe. Unmanned surface vessels increasingly rely on AI-based perception to...

Cybersecurity teams are facing a growing imbalance. Software is being developed and deployed faster than ever, while attackers increasingly use artificial intelligence to automate...

Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear hazards remain among the most dangerous threats soldiers can face. Detecting and responding to these risks is often slow,...

Modern military drones rely heavily on satellite navigation to orient themselves, map terrain, and support ground forces. In environments where GPS or GNSS signals...

Long-range flights place heavy demands on both aircraft and passengers. Business jets are expected to link distant city pairs efficiently, operate from varied airports,...

As mobile networks move toward sixth-generation capabilities, expectations are shifting well beyond faster data speeds. Future networks are expected to deliver intelligence—running AI models...

Precise timing sits quietly at the heart of modern systems. Communications networks, military command chains, financial transactions, and power grids all rely on accurate...
