Modern military operations rely heavily on understanding and shaping the electromagnetic environment. Radar emissions, jamming signals, and electronic intelligence streams can shift rapidly, leaving...

Modern military operations depend on uninterrupted communication and rapid data sharing, yet many battlefields are anything but cooperative. Urban density, electronic warfare, and natural...

Electronic warfare is no longer confined to large ships, fixed sites, or crewed aircraft. In littoral environments—where coastlines, islands, and narrow waterways limit maneuvering...

Modern battlefields are placing new demands on strike systems. Forces need weapons that can be deployed quickly, adapted across platforms, and produced in large...

Aircraft designers have long pursued wings that can adapt to changing flight conditions. Fixed surfaces are always a compromise: a wing shape optimized for...

Modern armored warfare is being reshaped by the rapid spread of advanced anti-tank weapons. Guided missiles, top-attack munitions, and portable rockets are now widely...

The effective coordination of numerous unmanned aerial vehicles presents a significant logistical and operational challenge. Traditional models, where a single operator controls one or...

Modern air operations are being stretched by distance, cost, and risk. Fighter aircraft are expected to operate deeper into contested airspace, while facing increasingly...

Firefighting in industrial sites, disaster zones, and remote environments often exposes crews to extreme heat, toxic smoke, and unstable structures. While remotely controlled unmanned...

Engineers have long sought materials that can change their mechanical behavior depending on the situation. In robotics and protective equipment, the challenge is clear:...

Naval forces have long faced a persistent challenge: maintenance delays that keep critical vessels out of operation for extended periods. Inspections of hulls, decks,...

Pushing aircraft and missiles beyond Mach 5 remains one of the most complex challenges in aerospace engineering. Current solutions typically rely on combining multiple...

Modern ground forces are under increasing pressure to operate with less exposure while maintaining mobility and firepower. Carrying heavy equipment, securing movement routes, and...

The modern battlefield presents a persistent challenge: adversaries are learning quickly, adapting to new technologies, and forcing defense systems to respond dynamically. At the...

Modern artillery systems are increasingly expected to operate in heavily contested electronic environments where satellite navigation signals may be disrupted or denied entirely. At...

We are pleased to announce the launch of the fifth cycle of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center. The six selected projects were selected among hundreds...

Malicious drones are already a well-known threat to public security. However, it is a drone swarm attack that constitutes the next stage - a...

Written by Or Shalom Milipol Paris 2025, held in Paris on November 18th-21st, 2025, presented an impressive high-level snapshot of the entire homeland security and...

Protecting personnel from the long-term neurological effects of blast exposure has been a persistent challenge for militaries worldwide. Shock waves from heavy weapons or...

Modern armored vehicles have become increasingly difficult to defeat as active protection systems, reactive armor, and rapid maneuvering continue to advance. Conventional anti-tank weapons...

For decades, Israel’s artillery relied on tracked systems introduced in the 1980s. While dependable, those platforms were manpower-heavy, slower to reposition, and increasingly mismatched...
