Robots designed for industrial inspection or emergency response often face a tradeoff. Wheeled platforms can move quickly and efficiently over long distances but struggle...

Modern navigation depends heavily on satellite signals, but GPS is not always available. Signals cannot reliably penetrate underground or deep underwater and can also...

Since fiscal 2016, the US Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has helped transition 35 prototypes into production or service contracts with DOD and has a...

Foldstruct is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to the...

Over the last two decades, the nature of security threats has shifted from the emergence of networked insurgency to the growth of cyber threats,...

Monitoring vessel movements has become far more difficult in recent years. Ships involved in sanctions evasion, smuggling, or illicit transfers frequently disable their Automatic...

As drone threats grow in range, speed, and sophistication, many existing counter-UAS systems struggle to keep up. Ground-based radars are limited by terrain, jammers...

Written by Or Shalom Effective defense against threats such small, low-speed unmanned aerial systems (LSS - Low, Slow, Small), requires a multidimensional approach. Modern detection...

Keeping military pilots mission-ready is not only a matter of training and aircraft availability. Medical clearance is a critical but often time-consuming step, particularly...

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is reshaping energy demand in ways few power systems were designed to handle. Large-scale data centers now consume...

Seeing clearly in low visibility remains one of the hardest problems for modern forces. Smoke, fog, darkness, and cluttered terrain all degrade traditional optics,...

One of the persistent limitations of robotic manipulation is reach. Even highly dexterous robotic arms are constrained by their fixed mounting points, forcing complex...

China’s heavy reliance on imported natural rubber has long been a strategic weak point. Rubber is a critical input for automotive manufacturing, industrial equipment,...

Developing vehicles that can travel at hypersonic speeds—Mach 5 and above—poses extreme engineering challenges. At such velocities, airframes are subjected to intense vibration, aerodynamic...

Modern air operations are often complicated by poor visibility. Darkness, heavy weather, smoke and dust can all degrade sensors and make it harder to...

Anduril, a defense tech startup, is raising an $8 billion funding round, targeting a staggering $60 billion valuation. Learn more about this massive investor bet on Anduril's autonomous systems.

As drones take on a larger role in intelligence and surveillance missions, the demand for faster and more autonomous data processing is growing. Traditional...

The rapid spread of unmanned aerial threats is exposing a key limitation in current air defense systems: coverage gaps between ground-based sensors and high-end...

Modern air operations increasingly demand platforms that can cover long distances, perform multiple roles, and respond quickly to both aerial and ground threats. However,...

As wireless networks evolve toward next-generation standards, they face growing challenges. Higher data rates, denser environments, and increasing interference make it harder to maintain...

Unmanned aerial systems are taking on increasingly complex missions, from reconnaissance and border monitoring to strike operations and electronic surveillance. But as drones move...

Software-defined networks (SDNs) have become a cornerstone of modern data centers, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise environments. By separating the control layer from the traffic-forwarding...
