Robots are often limited by the very components that power them. Traditional electric motors provide strength and precision, but they also add weight, rigidity,...

Coordinating large numbers of robots to perform complex tasks remains a major challenge. Traditional systems often rely on centralized control, detailed planning, and constant...

As hypersonic weapons development accelerates, one of the key challenges has been integration, meaning how to effectively deploy these large, high-speed systems from existing...

Modern artillery systems are increasingly expected to operate in heavily contested electronic environments where satellite navigation signals may be disrupted or denied entirely. At...

Reliable communications inside military vehicles are often taken for granted until something fails. Modern combat platforms depend on constant voice coordination between crew members,...

The rapid proliferation of drones has created a new challenge for military forces and critical infrastructure operators. Modern threats range from small commercial quadcopters...

Wireless networks are expected to support far more than smartphones in the coming decade. Autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, critical infrastructure, and AI-driven services will...

Identifying people from a distance has long been a challenge for security systems. Facial recognition often requires high-resolution images and unobstructed views, while clothing,...

Delivering supplies to frontline forces has become increasingly dangerous as drones, long-range weapons and persistent surveillance make logistics aircraft attractive targets. In many cases,...

Modern battlefields are increasingly crowded with radio-frequency signals. Drones, aircraft, ships, communications equipment and electronic warfare systems all transmit across the electromagnetic spectrum, creating...

Modern military units are becoming increasingly dependent on electricity. Drones need regular charging, electronic warfare equipment can draw substantial power, and edge-computing systems must...

Small and medium-sized drones are forcing ground forces to rethink air defense. Fixed systems can protect bases and other permanent sites, but troops on...

Detecting radio signals across a wide range of frequencies normally creates a hardware problem. Conventional antennas are closely tied to the wavelength they need...

iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to join the fifth cycle of INNOFENSE and receive a remarkable opportunity to showcase your technology...

Building on the achievements of previous INNOFENSE cycles, iHLS, the Ministry of Defense and MAFAT are inviting startups to apply for the program’s seventh...

If your startup is developing a groundbreaking technology we invite you to apply to INNOFENSE Innovation Center. Applications are open to the second cycle of...

Drones today are limited by a simple constraint: batteries. No matter how advanced the airframe or onboard sensors are, endurance remains capped by how...

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

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

As humanoid and quadruped robots move from research labs into public spaces, factories, and homes, their growing autonomy is creating a new class of...

Aircraft availability in forward areas often comes down to one limiting factor: fuel. In expeditionary environments, helicopters and transport aircraft are frequently forced to...

Modern warfare is increasingly shaped by technologies that operate beyond traditional bullets and bombs. As conflicts move into dense urban areas and contested electromagnetic...
