Hypersonic systems promise significant advantages in speed and responsiveness, but their development has been slowed by a persistent challenge: most propulsion technologies are designed...

Modern combat environments are placing increasing pressure on response time. Small drone threats can appear with little warning, leaving operators with only seconds to...

Underwater operations present a persistent challenge for both humans and machines. Visibility is often limited, communication is constrained, and navigation can quickly become uncertain....

Firefighting and disaster response increasingly place human crews in environments that are unstable, toxic, or simply unreachable. Collapsed structures, chemical leaks, tunnel fires, and...

Fires move fast, and in smoke-filled homes visibility drops to near zero within minutes. Firefighters entering these environments are trained to search for people...

Naval forces face a growing need to monitor and operate across vast stretches of ocean without relying solely on crewed ships. Long-range patrols, intelligence...

iHLS fifth annual conference on Big Data for Homeland Security attracted many technology experts, investors, entrepreneurs and representatives of the high-tech industries, defense industries,...

As mobile networks move toward sixth-generation capabilities, expectations are shifting well beyond faster data speeds. Future networks are expected to deliver intelligence—running AI models...

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...

Rocket artillery has long been valued for its firepower, but it carries a built-in weakness: once a launcher fires, its position is quickly exposed....

Autonomous robots still struggle with a basic problem that animals solve effortlessly: how to keep moving when conditions suddenly change. Uneven terrain, loss of...

In aviation maintenance, the direct cost of human-error is estimated at 10% of the total maintenance cost. For an airline operating a fleet of...

Modern military aircraft operate in increasingly contested airspace. Portable surface-to-air missiles, radar-guided threats, and improvised munitions pose constant risks to rotary- and fixed-wing platforms...

Satellites have become a critical part of modern military operations, providing communications, navigation, intelligence and targeting data to forces around the world. As dependence...

The growing prevalence of drones in the market, their low cost and high availability have all made them a potential threat to privacy and...

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...

Undersea operations present a persistent challenge: distance and endurance. Oceans are vast, and autonomous underwater vehicles must travel long ranges before reaching their mission...

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

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...

Call for Innovation:  Following the immense success of the previous two cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS invites you to join the...

Modern military aircraft are becoming increasingly complex, but maintenance processes often remain labor-intensive and time-consuming. Diagnosing faults, training technicians, and performing repairs on advanced...

Unmanned aerial systems are now used for missions ranging from emergency response and infrastructure inspection to logistics and environmental monitoring. In parallel, they have...
