Call for Innovation:  Following the immense success of the previous two cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS invites you to join the...

Modern submarines rely on increasingly complex control systems to maneuver safely in three dimensions, manage propulsion, and coordinate onboard sensors. As underwater missions expand...

Robotic fabrication has traditionally required specialized skills, detailed digital designs, and lengthy production times. In most environments—industrial, commercial, or operational—this limits how quickly custom...

Laser-based data links are increasingly attractive for aircraft and space systems that need to move large volumes of information quickly. Free-space optical communication (FSOC)...

For much of the post–World War II era, Japan kept defense-spending tightly constrained, relying on alliances and a strictly defensive posture to ensure security....

Small flying robots face a persistent tradeoff between endurance and complexity. Flapping-wing designs can generate thrust but consume energy quickly, while fixed-wing platforms struggle...

Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...

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

Digital security systems are under constant pressure. As encryption becomes more sophisticated, so do the methods used to bypass it. Software-based protection, no matter...
