A new navigation device that will enable warfighters to better shoot, move and communicate in a GPS degraded environment, could replace the legacy handheld...

Satellite images orbiting overhead are no longer confined to mapmaking or weather forecasting. A major shift is underway in Europe, as large volumes of...

Loitering munitions have become a central feature of modern conflict, offering a relatively low-cost way to strike targets with precision. However, many existing systems...

Insect vision has long inspired engineers, as these creatures have been solving navigational challenges for millions of years, without the brain power or technology...

Modern navigation systems rely heavily on satellite timing, and that dependence has become a growing vulnerability. GPS signals can be jammed, spoofed, or disrupted...

Modern military operations increasingly rely on long-range precision fires, but many of these capabilities have traditionally depended on ships or aircraft. In heavily contested...

Ukraine has introduced a next-generation drone platform that integrates artificial intelligence and advanced navigation to strike targets without relying on GPS—marking a major milestone...

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 expansion of the digital realm into space has opened new frontiers for cyber threats, posing unprecedented challenges. The satellites orbiting Earth are crucial for...

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts are developing small aerial robots that rely on sound rather than cameras to navigate, offering new...

As air forces adapt to more contested environments, there is growing demand for platforms that can operate alongside manned aircraft while reducing risk to...

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have developed two innovative smartphone applications designed to assist blind individuals in navigating indoor spaces. These apps provide spoken...

Robots designed for ground exploration often struggle with two conflicting demands: they need to travel long distances efficiently, yet also maneuver through cluttered or...

Modern military operations depend heavily on satellite navigation. From troop movements and logistics to targeting and timing synchronization, GPS-based positioning systems are deeply embedded...

In response to growing congestion in Earth’s orbit, researchers have developed a compact, real-time velocity sensor for spacecraft that could significantly enhance satellite navigation...

Small units operating at the edge of the battlefield often face a familiar problem: they need precision strike capability, but traditional close air support...

False GPS signals are surging near conflict zones, deceiving onboard plane systems, and complicating the work of airline pilots. Disruptive issues on planes (like a...

Researchers have developed a new approach to robotic mapping that could help autonomous systems operate in unstable or cluttered environments, such as collapsed buildings...

Unmanned systems are increasingly used across modern operations, but they often function separately. Ground robots provide mobility and access to difficult terrain, while aerial...

We are pleased to announce the launch of the fifth cycle of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center. The six selected projects were selected among hundreds...

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

Modern drone warfare increasingly depends on systems that can operate in heavily contested electronic environments. One of the biggest challenges facing long-range unmanned platforms...
