Dual-use technology

Bird strikes may sound like a minor aviation hazard, but a collision at high speed can damage engines, windscreens and other critical aircraft components....

Speakers have a basic privacy problem: sound spreads. Play music, an announcement or a conversation aloud, and people nearby can usually hear it too....

SIM cards are normally treated as trusted components whose main job is to connect a device to a cellular network. New security research shows...

Modern ships depend heavily on satellite navigation, creating a vulnerability when GPS and other GNSS signals are jammed, spoofed or unavailable. In a contested...

Previous INNOFENSE cycles have helped innovative technologies make the leap from civilian development to defense applications. Now, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense are...

As more satellites enter orbit, simply knowing where every object is located is becoming increasingly difficult, and location alone may not provide enough information....

Stealth aircraft are designed primarily to make radar detection more difficult, creating an ongoing challenge for the sensors responsible for finding and tracking them....

Airport security depends on finding dangerous materials without bringing passenger movement to a halt. Liquids remain one of the most visible compromises: travelers are...

Some computing problems become difficult not because any individual calculation is particularly complicated, but because there are simply too many possible combinations to test....

Putting more capable satellites into orbit creates opportunities for communications and other space services, but it also increases the value of the hardware that...

Building on the success of previous cycles and the progress of participating technologies within the defense sector, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite...

Military systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but the person operating them still needs a practical way to control what is happening. Complex interfaces can...

Operating systems constantly monitor files so applications can react when something changes. A program may need to know when a file is created, modified...

As AI models gain the ability to act independently, safety testing is increasingly about more than preventing harmful answers. Developers also need to determine...

Modern cybersecurity systems face a scale problem. Networks generate enormous amounts of traffic, and malicious activity may be hidden among millions of ordinary interactions....

Written By Or Shalom The DroneX 2026 exhibition at ExCeL London marks a clear turning point in the evolution of unmanned systems and airspace defense...

AI agents are increasingly capable of navigating websites, using software tools and carrying out complex tasks without waiting for human approval at every step....

Following the achievements of previous cycles, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense are opening applications for the seventh cycle of INNOFENSE. The program offers...

Collaborative documents have become a standard way for teams to work together, but they present a security problem that encrypted messaging largely solved years...

If your startup applies to one of the following subjects, consider submitting your applications for INNOFENSE’s seventh cycle until October 15th, 2026: Early, remote...

Detecting unauthorized drones around airports, power plants, stadiums and other sensitive locations usually requires dedicated radars, radio-frequency sensors or cameras. Deploying enough of those...

Artificial intelligence can process large amounts of intelligence quickly, but that speed creates a serious problem when an incorrect conclusion looks convincing enough to...
