Commercial drones have become a standard operational tool for military and law enforcement forces in recent years, but their widespread use raises a strategic...

INNOFENSE Call for startups – Dual-Use Technologies: Following the immense success of the previous four cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS invites...

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

Diamonds, the most precious of stones, have far more uses than you might think, and the Israeli company Ray Techniques is giving them away...

The next generation of aircraft and space systems requires the ability to conduct tests at extremely high speeds — yet today, the industry is...

Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...

Modern air forces are under growing pressure to adapt quickly to a battlefield where unmanned systems evolve faster than traditional procurement cycles. Commercial drones...

Modern military and civilian systems face a growing power and connectivity problem. Sensors, communications, and autonomous platforms all demand more energy, yet batteries add...

Remote-controlled aircraft have become increasingly capable, but most designs still keep pilots at a distance. Even with onboard cameras, the experience is usually about...

Robots are often expected to operate where wheels fail: collapsed buildings, uneven ground, mud, ice, or debris-covered floors. Yet most legged robots still struggle...

The central challenge on the modern battlefield is transitioning from small-scale experiments to the operational deployment of autonomous systems in mass quantities. While many...

Amphibious assaults place unique demands on armored vehicles. Platforms must survive open-water transit, land directly onto hostile shores, and then continue operating inland against...

AI-powered drone operating system

Modern air operations increasingly depend on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar, communications links, targeting networks and drone control systems all rely on uninterrupted access to...

Unmanned systems are increasingly used across modern operations, but they often function separately. Ground robots provide mobility and access to difficult terrain, while aerial...

One of the main challenges with generative AI tools today is reliability. Even advanced models can produce inaccurate or misleading information, a phenomenon often...

Modern sensing systems face a growing challenge: too much data. Traditional cameras capture and process full image frames continuously, even when little is changing...

Underwater missions are often constrained by endurance. Most autonomous underwater vehicles rely on batteries, which limit how long they can remain submerged before needing...

Modern military ground operations are increasingly moving toward autonomous systems capable of operating in contested environments with reduced risk to personnel. However, developing military...

Modern electronic warfare increasingly revolves around one challenge: finding signals that are designed not to be found. Advanced radar systems now use low-probability-of-intercept waveforms,...

The wireless networks envisioned for the 6G era promise enormous data rates, potentially reaching terabits per second. Achieving those speeds, however, requires the use...

Small drones have become one of the most difficult threats on the modern battlefield. Unlike larger aircraft, they are small, fast, and highly maneuverable,...
