Long-endurance unmanned aircraft have traditionally faced the same limits: batteries restrict range, combustion engines add noise and heat, and payload capacity often forces trade-offs...

Modern air-defense networks are becoming harder to penetrate, with mobile launchers, dispersed command nodes, and dense sensor arrays creating narrow and fast-moving windows of...

Precise timing sits quietly at the heart of modern systems. Communications networks, military command chains, financial transactions, and power grids all rely on accurate...

Small, commercially available drones have become a persistent battlefield problem. Easy to acquire and modify, they are now widely used for reconnaissance, targeting, and...

Modern military navigation depends heavily on satellite signals, a vulnerability that is becoming harder to ignore. GPS jamming, spoofing, and signal denial are now...

As artificial intelligence becomes embedded across connected systems, a structural weakness is starting to show. Most AI-driven services depend heavily on centralized cloud infrastructure,...

As drones move from niche tools to everyday infrastructure, a core challenge is becoming increasingly clear: current systems struggle to meet the endurance, autonomy,...

Small unmanned aerial systems have become a routine threat on modern battlefields and around naval vessels. Commercial quadcopters and improvised drones are inexpensive, agile,...

AI security platform acquisitions

As robots take on more complex roles in industrial environments, one challenge remains constant: ensuring safe, seamless interaction with human workers. Heavy-duty robotic arms...

Swiss startup PAVE Space has raised $40 million in a seed funding round to bring a new line of in-space propulsion systems and advanced...

The growing use of drones on the battlefield is shifting the focus toward speed and scale. Small unmanned systems can be deployed in large...

Tracking submarines across vast ocean areas is one of the most resource-intensive missions in naval operations. Traditional platforms, such as crewed ships and aircraft,...

Modern military operations increasingly rely on long-range precision fires, but many of these capabilities have traditionally depended on ships or aircraft. In heavily contested...

Small drone swarms are becoming increasingly difficult to stop using traditional air-defense systems. Conventional remotely operated gun turrets usually rely on mechanically rotating toward...

Modern armed forces are increasingly looking for strike weapons that can engage targets from long distances without exposing launch platforms to enemy air defenses....

As mobile networks become more complex, managing them is becoming a challenge in its own right. Future 6G systems are expected to support everything...

Sixth-generation combat aircraft are expected to reshape future air combat by combining low observability, long-range operations, advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and close cooperation with...

For any country that relies on ballistic missiles as part of its military strategy, launching them is only half the challenge. The other half...

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...

Following the immense success of the previous four cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS invites you to join the fifth cycle...

iHLS INNOFENSE - Innovation program for technological startups in the civilian and security sector, which will be operated by iHLS in collaboration with the...
