Protecting digital images from manipulation has become increasingly difficult. As AI-generated content and sophisticated editing tools become more accessible, verifying whether a photo is...

Persistent surveillance is one of the biggest challenges in modern military operations. Conventional drones are limited by battery capacity or fuel, requiring frequent landings...

Small military drones are taking on increasingly complex missions, from reconnaissance and target tracking to autonomous navigation and coordinated swarm operations. Yet many of...

Large defense and government organizations often manage information across hundreds of disconnected sources. Reports, spreadsheets, databases, planning documents, and operational updates are typically stored...

Protecting large industrial sites, airports, campuses and critical infrastructure often requires continuous patrols over wide areas. Autonomous security robots are increasingly being used to...

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...

Unexploded bombs, naval mines, and artillery shells left behind by past conflicts remain a hazard in coastal waters around the world. Buried beneath sand...

Resupplying personnel in remote or contested areas is one of the most difficult challenges in military and emergency operations. Landing a drone to deliver...

Maritime surveillance often requires both surface vessels and aerial drones to maintain awareness over large areas. While drones provide a much wider field of...

Modern battlefields are saturated with electronic activity. Radars, jammers, drone control stations, communications systems, and other emitters constantly transmit radio-frequency signals that can reveal...

Every new generation of wireless technology places greater demands on the chips inside smartphones, base stations and connected vehicles. As 5G evolves toward 6G,...

Every minute counts during water rescue operations. Whether responding to a person swept away by strong currents or someone struggling after a boating accident,...

Modern air-defense networks increasingly rely on multiple radars spread across different locations. Combining their observations can create a more accurate picture of aircraft, missiles...

Robots designed for industrial inspection or emergency response often face a tradeoff. Wheeled platforms can move quickly and efficiently over long distances but struggle...

Underwater environments are notoriously demanding for electronic systems. Sensors used by divers and underwater robots must withstand pressure, moisture and constant mechanical stress while...

The rapid growth of military drone operations is exposing a major weakness in traditional air defense. While medium-sized unmanned aircraft used for reconnaissance and...

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

Modern fighter pilots are expected to do far more than fly and engage targets. They must process sensor data, manage electronic warfare systems, coordinate...

Modern combat aircraft face an increasingly difficult challenge: operating in airspace saturated with advanced radar systems, long-range missiles, and integrated air defenses. For unmanned...

Robots are increasingly being used for inspections, emergency response, and field operations in locations that are difficult or dangerous for people to reach. However,...

Modern air defense systems are becoming increasingly difficult to penetrate. Long before an aircraft reaches its target, ground-based radars can detect, track and coordinate...

Collecting data at sea often requires researchers to choose between two very different types of vehicles. Aerial drones can quickly survey large areas but...
