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

Modern warfare presents extreme risks to soldiers conducting reconnaissance and direct action missions. Operating in complex, contested environments exposes personnel to constant threats, making...

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

Defense tech dual-use investments

Electric motors power everything from household appliances to industrial systems. Most rely on magnetic fields generated by electric current to create rotation. While electrostatic...

Modern naval operations generate vast amounts of sensor data, but much of it remains underutilized. Legacy systems often rely on manual processing and fragmented...

Measuring impact usually requires sensors, wiring, and data systems that add complexity, weight, and cost. In many cases, such as monitoring structural stress, tracking...

Drone operations are often limited by one key factor: endurance. Even advanced platforms must return to base for recharging or battery replacement, creating gaps...

Long-range strike capabilities often face a trade-off between endurance, precision, and survivability. Systems that can reach distant targets may depend heavily on satellite navigation,...

Modern soldiers increasingly operate with multiple connected devices at once, such as radios, sensors, cameras, navigation systems, hearing protection, and digital battlefield applications. While...

iHLS, in collaboration with a large defense industry is looking for companies with proven capabilities in several areas to participate in a demonstration of...

iHLS would like to wish you a happy new year – the diverse community of homeland security in Israel and abroad, the devoted followers...

As indoor lighting shifts almost entirely to LEDs over the next decade, researchers are examining whether these lamps can play a much larger role...

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...

Modern air defenses are increasingly challenged by the growing use of unmanned aircraft, but the rapid evolution of drone swarming threatens to complicate this...

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...

Modern aerial battlefields are becoming increasingly congested, characterized by a proliferation of small, low-cost threats that prove challenging and often uneconomical to intercept using...

Air dominance is becoming harder to achieve as battlefields extend upward and outward, blurring the line between atmosphere and space. Traditional fighter jets are...

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

Air combat is becoming increasingly complex as threats multiply and reaction times shrink. Pilots are expected to manage dense sensor data, coordinate with multiple...

Carrier-based air operations are increasingly constrained by range. As strike aircraft become more capable and missions push farther from the carrier, a growing share...
