Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along controlled paths, but they typically...

Minefields remain one of the most time-consuming and dangerous obstacles for ground forces. Traditional breaching tools—mechanical rollers, plows, and manual clearing—can take hours, require...

Modern fighter operations place growing cognitive and physical demands on pilots. High-speed engagements, dense sensor inputs, and operations at night or in poor weather...

Border surveillance and wide-area monitoring often require small unmanned aircraft that can stay airborne for extended periods, carry multiple sensor types, and operate reliably...

Frontline units and emergency responders increasingly rely on unmanned systems, yet most commercially available cargo drones still fall short of operational needs. Typical platforms...

Modern amphibious forces increasingly rely on unmanned systems for reconnaissance, strike missions, and real-time situational awareness. Traditional helicopter assault ships are limited in the...

Understanding how people build, expand, and occupy space has become a strategic priority for governments and emergency planners. Yet most global datasets still represent...

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...

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...

Large-scale emergencies often trigger a secondary crisis: the sudden loss of communications. Floods, fires, earthquakes, or cyberattacks can knock out established infrastructure within minutes,...

One of the biggest challenges in modern air combat is detecting, tracking, and engaging fast-moving aerial targets at long distances. Traditionally, only crewed fighter...

Ground robots often struggle with one recurring problem: every terrain demands a different movement strategy. Smooth surfaces favor wheels, rubble demands crawling, and narrow...

Emergency responders and humanitarian agencies often struggle with the same issue: how to deploy sturdy, lightweight shelters quickly in disaster zones where transport is...

Construction projects generate enormous amounts of changing information each day—new installations, shifting materials, evolving layouts, and emerging safety hazards. Traditionally, engineers walk every floor...

Modern naval forces face a persistent challenge: how to monitor vast stretches of ocean without relying on crewed submarines or costly patrol cycles. Underwater...

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...

Cities generate enormous amounts of traffic video every day, yet only a fraction of it is ever reviewed. For transportation agencies, the challenge isn’t...

Modern air defenses are increasingly challenged by the growing use of unmanned aircraft, but the rapid evolution of drone swarming threatens to complicate this...

Critical undersea cables and energy pipelines have become increasingly attractive targets for adversaries, particularly as naval competition intensifies in the North Atlantic. Recent Russian...

As short-range air-defense systems improve, many unmanned aircraft are being intercepted long before they reach their targets. Slow propeller-driven drones, even in large numbers,...

Major disasters often create environments too unstable or hazardous for human rescuers to enter. Collapsed structures, toxic fumes, flooding, and narrow access points can...

Launching and retrieving drones normally requires a stationary platform, clear airspace, and operators with line-of-sight control. These constraints limit how quickly drones can be...
