Stealth aircraft designers have long faced a hard tradeoff. Flying-wing bombers offer excellent range, efficiency, and low radar visibility, but they pay a price...

Explosive ordnance disposal remains one of the most dangerous missions on the modern battlefield. Even when technicians do everything right, repeated exposure to blast...

Startup! This is your opportunity to get a $50K grant. If you are developing a groundbreaking technology we invite you to apply to INNOFENSE...

The rise of 3D-printed firearms has created a growing challenge for law enforcement. Blueprints for these weapons are widely available online, and with a...

We at the iHLS Security Accelerator are looking for disruptive ground-breaking technologies offering solutions for civilian defense, securing government institutions, vital infrastructure and borders,...

Exposure to blast waves during training or operations poses a well-documented risk to brain health. Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) can develop even without...

Ballistic missile defense has become a race against both technology and inventory. As missile threats grow in number, range, and complexity, interceptor stockpiles are...

Supplying troops or rescue teams with the exact parts they need, exactly when they need them, has long been a logistical challenge. Damaged components,...

Manifold, an AI security startup, secures $8M in seed funding to develop a platform protecting autonomous AI agents in enterprise networks.

Modern battlefields are becoming increasingly transparent. With drones, satellites, and persistent surveillance systems scanning large areas in real time, traditional missile launchers are easier...

Submarine warfare depends heavily on one weapon: the heavyweight torpedo. Unlike missiles, which can be observed and tracked throughout much of their flight, torpedoes...

Defending maritime approaches has become increasingly complex as naval air defenses grow more capable. Modern surface combatants rely on layered sensors, radar-guided interceptors, and...

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

Modern military systems are becoming increasingly software-driven and interconnected. Sensors, drones, command-and-control platforms, electronic warfare systems, and weapons must all work together across air,...

The second batch of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center is being launched today! Eight innovative projects out of 120 startups that applied were selected for...

Security labels, optical data storage systems, and environmental sensors often face the same limitation: once information is encoded, it remains static. Creating materials that...

Modern battlefields increasingly depend on wireless connectivity. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and ground units all rely on radio-frequency signals for navigation, communication, and coordination. Yet...

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

Unmanned aerial vehicles used for long-range reconnaissance face a familiar set of tradeoffs. Internal combustion engines offer endurance but generate noise and heat that...

Modern electric grids are increasingly exposed to disruptions that can occur simultaneously. Cyberattacks, equipment failures, extreme weather, wildfires and physical attacks can each affect...

Coordinating large numbers of unmanned systems has become one of the central challenges of modern autonomy. Most drone operations still depend on centralized control,...

A new smart city project is designed to enhance public safety and efficient and effective operations across all city departments. The Department of Homeland...
