Dual-use technology

Handling irregular, delicate, or heavy objects remains a persistent challenge for both industrial automation and frontline operations. Conventional grippers rely on rigid claws or...

Moving equipment, sensors, and unmanned systems across land–sea boundaries has long been a logistical bottleneck. Most platforms are built for either terrain or water,...

Maintaining communication in remote or obstructed terrain remains a persistent challenge for border and special-operations units. Steep valleys, dense forests, and rugged highlands often...

Naval forces face a growing need to monitor and operate across vast stretches of ocean without relying solely on crewed ships. Long-range patrols, intelligence...

Loss of pilot capability remains one of aviation’s most dangerous failure modes. Whether caused by medical issues, hypoxia, or sudden onboard emergencies, pilot incapacitation...

Modern militaries are facing a growing challenge: how to carry out dangerous missions in threat-saturated environments without risking human lives. Urban warfare, tunnel infiltration,...

As 2025 draws to a close, Israel’s technology sector is finishing the year with results that look stronger than many expected. This is notable...

For decades, mobile phones have relied on a fixed network identifier that quietly follows users wherever they go. Known as the International Mobile Subscriber...

Marine collisions with fixed offshore structures—such as oil platforms, abandoned wellheads, and navigational hazards—remain a persistent problem for commercial operators and coastal authorities. These...

Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them easy to detect and limit their ability...

Heavy body armor remains one of the most persistent physical challenges for soldiers, law enforcement officers, and security personnel. Modern plates provide essential protection,...

Forget the battlefields of old. A silent, rapid transformation is underway, fundamentally altering the calculus of conflict and ushering in an era where speed,...

Microrobots — machines smaller than a grain of sand — hold enormous promise for tasks that require precision at scales where conventional tools cannot...

Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along controlled paths, but they typically...

Frontline units and emergency responders increasingly rely on unmanned systems, yet most commercially available cargo drones still fall short of operational needs. Typical platforms...

High-power electronic systems—whether found in advanced sensors, industrial machinery, or directed-energy platforms—depend heavily on capacitors that can store and release energy in short, intense...

Understanding how people build, expand, and occupy space has become a strategic priority for governments and emergency planners. Yet most global datasets still represent...

Protecting personnel from the long-term neurological effects of blast exposure has been a persistent challenge for militaries worldwide. Shock waves from heavy weapons or...

High-performance infrared imaging normally requires exotic materials or cryogenic cooling, making it too costly for widespread commercial or security use. Conventional CMOS sensors—the same...

Large-scale emergencies often trigger a secondary crisis: the sudden loss of communications. Floods, fires, earthquakes, or cyberattacks can knock out established infrastructure within minutes,...

Ground robots often struggle with one recurring problem: every terrain demands a different movement strategy. Smooth surfaces favor wheels, rubble demands crawling, and narrow...

Emergency responders and humanitarian agencies often struggle with the same issue: how to deploy sturdy, lightweight shelters quickly in disaster zones where transport is...
