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...

Modern military systems rely heavily on satellite navigation and timing, but these signals are increasingly vulnerable. In contested environments, electronic warfare can disrupt or...

Frontline units often face a simple limitation: access to real-time aerial intelligence. In many cases, smaller formations must rely on higher command to allocate...

Integrating heavy weapons onto compact robotic ground vehicles has become a growing focus for modern militaries, but the engineering challenge is significant. Small unmanned...

Machine guns remain a core element of infantry firepower, but the way soldiers use them has changed significantly over the past two decades. Modern...

The growing use of drones is creating new security challenges far beyond traditional battlefields. Ports, shipping lanes, offshore platforms, and commercial vessels are increasingly...

For years, WhatsApp has relied on phone numbers as the primary way people connect. While simple, that approach has also created a privacy challenge....

Modern militaries rely heavily on satellites and sophisticated electronic systems for communications, navigation, intelligence gathering and precision targeting. Rather than destroying these assets with...

Maritime surveillance often requires both surface vessels and aerial drones to maintain awareness over large areas. While drones provide a much wider field of...

Modern air-defense networks increasingly rely on multiple radars spread across different locations. Combining their observations can create a more accurate picture of aircraft, missiles...

iHLS is inviting startups in this field to join the 8th cycle of its Security Accelerator, the world’s first accelerator in the HLS field....

Calling all defense-tech startups! Don’t miss out on the exciting opportunity to participate in the Defense-Tech Startup Competition at the Global Defense Tech Summit...

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...
