Listening Beneath the Waves: A New Era in Subsea Sensing
Monitoring activity beneath the ocean surface remains one of the most complex challenges in maritime operations. Traditional sonar systems provide valuable acoustic data, but...
A Strike Drone That Can Fly Blind—and Still Hit Its Target
Loitering munitions have become a central feature of modern conflict, offering a relatively low-cost way to strike targets with precision. However, many existing systems...
The Low-Altitude Threat Just Met Its Match
The rapid spread of small drones on the battlefield is exposing a persistent weakness in traditional air defense: low-altitude coverage. Quadcopters and loitering munitions...
Fighting Drones With Sound Instead of Radar
The growing use of small, low-cost drones is creating new challenges for air defense systems. Many of these platforms are difficult to detect using...
A Bomber That Can Slip Through Advanced Defenses
Modern air defense systems are becoming increasingly dense and sophisticated, making it harder for conventional aircraft to operate inside contested airspace. Long-range missiles offer...
AI and Lasers Team Up Against Swarms of Drones
The growing use of inexpensive drones has created a major challenge for air defense systems. Small reconnaissance UAVs and FPV strike drones can be...
The Push for Smarter, Faster Long-Range Artillery Is Accelerating
Modern artillery systems are under growing pressure to operate faster, strike farther, and survive in increasingly transparent battlefields. Counter-battery radars, drones, and long-range surveillance...
A New Antenna Design Helps Satellites Fight Back Against Jamming
As military and commercial operations become increasingly dependent on satellite communications, protecting those links from interference has become a growing challenge. Modern electronic warfare...
$20 Million in Sight: New Partnership Targets the Smart Sensing Market
Protecting borders, critical infrastructure, and transportation corridors is becoming increasingly challenging as the number of threats and users operating within these environments continues to...
This Color-Shifting Material Could Transform Robotic Precision
Vision has improved dramatically in modern robots, but touch remains one of the most difficult human senses to reproduce. Detecting exactly how much pressure...
Sensors Designed for Cars Are Now Helping Detect Drones
The growing number of low-flying drones, together with the emergence of more advanced platforms—including fiber-optic-guided UAVs—is creating an increasing challenge for detection and surveillance...
The Next Defense Against GPS Jamming Could Be Quantum-Based
Modern military operations depend heavily on satellite navigation, secure communications and precise timing. That dependence creates vulnerabilities: GPS and other satellite signals can be...
