Providing advanced medical care in remote or high-risk environments remains a major challenge. On the battlefield, the time between injury and treatment is often...

Small drones are increasingly used in environments where visibility is limited, such as collapsed buildings, smoke-filled structures, and dense vegetation, but most navigation systems...

Ground forces continue to face a familiar challenge: how to move supplies, gather intelligence, and evacuate casualties without exposing personnel to unnecessary risk. In...

Locating a person in open terrain, especially in a hostile environment with no continuous communication, remains one of the most complex challenges in search...

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

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...

For mobile robots operating in the real world, knowing their exact position is not optional. Autonomous navigation depends on continuous, accurate localization. Yet satellite-based...

Operating in the Arctic presents a unique set of challenges for autonomous systems and military platforms. Extreme weather, limited infrastructure and inconsistent satellite coverage...

Autonomous vehicles and mobile robots rely on cameras, LiDAR and other sensors to navigate safely. These systems perform well within direct line of sight,...

One of the biggest obstacles to deploying very small autonomous robots is navigation. As machines shrink, the hardware required to determine position and direction...

On modern battlefields, artillery and mortar fire can strike within seconds of launch. Detecting the origin of gunfire quickly is critical for both force...

As combat aircraft take on longer missions and pilots rely more heavily on helmet-mounted sensors and displays, the physical burden on aircrew has become...

Robots are getting better at sensing their surroundings, but moving safely through unfamiliar spaces remains a bottleneck. Most autonomous systems still depend on building...

Small drones have become a common tool for surveillance, inspection, and reconnaissance, but they come with limits. Battery life restricts endurance, electric motors generate...

Firefighting and disaster response increasingly place human crews in environments that are unstable, toxic, or simply unreachable. Collapsed structures, chemical leaks, tunnel fires, and...

Sustaining drone operations at scale has become one of the defining challenges of modern warfare. Frontline units rely on unmanned systems for reconnaissance, strike...

Entering a burning structure remains one of the most dangerous tasks for emergency responders. Extreme heat, toxic smoke, and unstable interiors often prevent crews...

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

Maritime collisions remain a stubborn and costly problem. Despite modern sensors and navigation aids, ships still strike offshore platforms, port infrastructure, and anchored vessels...

Undersea operations present a persistent challenge: distance and endurance. Oceans are vast, and autonomous underwater vehicles must travel long ranges before reaching their mission...

Modern battlefields increasingly depend on wireless connectivity. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and ground units all rely on radio-frequency signals for navigation, communication, and coordination. Yet...

Modern air defenses are forcing strike systems to evolve rapidly. Weapons that once relied on persistence and operator control are now expected to reach...
