Small military drones are taking on increasingly complex missions, from reconnaissance and target tracking to autonomous navigation and coordinated swarm operations. Yet many of...

Large defense and government organizations often manage information across hundreds of disconnected sources. Reports, spreadsheets, databases, planning documents, and operational updates are typically stored...

The rapid spread of military drones has created a growing problem for air-defense forces. Many attack drones are inexpensive to produce, yet they are...

Protecting large industrial sites, airports, campuses and critical infrastructure often requires continuous patrols over wide areas. Autonomous security robots are increasingly being used to...

Modern military operations are influenced by more than events on the physical battlefield. Social media posts, messaging platforms, videos, news reports and foreign-language sources...

Unexploded bombs, naval mines, and artillery shells left behind by past conflicts remain a hazard in coastal waters around the world. Buried beneath sand...

Vision has improved dramatically in modern robots, but touch remains one of the most difficult human senses to reproduce. Detecting exactly how much pressure...

Countering small drones has become increasingly difficult as unmanned aircraft grow smaller, cheaper, and more numerous. Traditional radar systems can detect many aerial threats,...

The growing use of small drones on the battlefield is creating new challenges for military forces. Detecting an incoming unmanned aircraft is only the...

Modern militaries are fielding an increasingly diverse range of unmanned systems, from interceptor missiles and one-way attack drones to robotic ground vehicles. While these...

Resupplying personnel in remote or contested areas is one of the most difficult challenges in military and emergency operations. Landing a drone to deliver...

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 battlefields are saturated with electronic activity. Radars, jammers, drone control stations, communications systems, and other emitters constantly transmit radio-frequency signals that can reveal...

Every new generation of wireless technology places greater demands on the chips inside smartphones, base stations and connected vehicles. As 5G evolves toward 6G,...

Every minute counts during water rescue operations. Whether responding to a person swept away by strong currents or someone struggling after a boating accident,...

Aircraft wings have followed broadly familiar shapes for more than a century, but unconventional designs can behave very differently in the air. One challenge...

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...

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

Minefields remain one of the most dangerous obstacles on the battlefield. Before armored vehicles or troops can advance, engineers must first clear explosive hazards...

Delivering supplies to frontline forces has become increasingly dangerous as drones, long-range weapons and persistent surveillance make logistics aircraft attractive targets. In many cases,...

As wireless devices continue to multiply, the radio spectrum is becoming increasingly crowded. Smartphones, connected vehicles, industrial sensors, wearables and countless other devices all...

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