The Border That Watches Its Back
Modern borders are increasingly difficult to defend with traditional means alone. Fast-moving ground forces, low-flying drones, cyber interference, and long-range missiles compress reaction times...
This Machine Learning Trick Can Turn Infrared Into Clear Vision
Robots are increasingly deployed in environments that are unsafe or inaccessible for humans, from collapsed buildings and underground tunnels to industrial sites and disaster...
Europe is Rethinking the Role of Light Attack Planes
European air forces are facing a growing capability gap at the lower end of the combat aviation spectrum. Many light multirole and trainer-based attack...
Why Cybersecurity Works Better When Defenders Share Data
Organizations are increasingly expected to share data across corporate boundaries, yet cybersecurity risks have never been higher. As partnerships, mergers, and joint technology projects...
Why Future Minehunting May Happen From Shore, Not at Sea
Naval mines continue to pose a disproportionate threat to modern fleets. Relatively cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can deny access to...
The Radar Plane That Survived the Budget Axe
Airborne early warning remains one of the most difficult capabilities to replace. Modern air combat depends on long-range detection, tracking, and battle management, yet...
Learn From Their Mistakes: The Pentagon’s AI Blunder
The Pentagon recently embarked on an ambitious journey to implement artificial intelligence (AI) tools across logistics, maintenance, and intelligence functions. Expectations were high: AI...
SpaceX’s Secret Launch: New Spy-Sat Tech Unveiled?
Modern intelligence collection is facing a structural problem. Traditional spy satellites are powerful but scarce, expensive, and vulnerable. With only a handful in orbit,...
Fighting Drones from Space: A New Defense Concept Emerges
As drone threats grow in range, speed, and sophistication, many existing counter-UAS systems struggle to keep up. Ground-based radars are limited by terrain, jammers...
The Tech That Beats Bad Signals to the Punch
Modern battlefields are shaped as much by the electromagnetic spectrum as by physical terrain. Communications, sensors, navigation signals, and targeting systems all depend on...
Why Future Battlefield Drones May Not Need GPS at All
Modern military drones rely heavily on satellite navigation to orient themselves, map terrain, and support ground forces. In environments where GPS or GNSS signals...
One Person, a Whole Swarm: The Drone Control Breakthrough
As unmanned systems become more common, the challenge is no longer just flying a drone, but managing many of them at once. In current...
When GPS Goes Dark, This Drone Keeps Flying
Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...
AI and EW Team Up to Outsmart Enemy Radars
Modern military operations rely heavily on understanding and shaping the electromagnetic environment. Radar emissions, jamming signals, and electronic intelligence streams can shift rapidly, leaving...
Not a Phishing Scam, but Prompt Poaching: How AI Chats Are...
Browser extensions have long been treated as harmless productivity tools, but their growing access to sensitive data is becoming a serious security concern. As...
How Cyberattacks Were Used to Open the Door for Military Strikes:...
Cyber operations are increasingly seen as a way to shape the battlefield before the first aircraft or ground unit moves. Power grids, communications networks,...
Forget Contractors: These Drones Are Built by Airmen Themselves
Modern air forces are under growing pressure to adapt quickly to a battlefield where unmanned systems evolve faster than traditional procurement cycles. Commercial drones...
AI Is Becoming a Military Profession, Not Just a Tool
Modern militaries are generating more data than ever before, but turning that data into timely battlefield advantage remains a challenge. Sensors, drones, logistics systems,...
This Stealth UAV Is Built to Scout Ahead of the Strike
Operating aircraft over heavily defended territory has become increasingly difficult as air-defense systems grow more capable and networked. Traditional surveillance platforms struggle to remain...
Vulnerability Intelligence: The New Operational Weapon in Cyber Defense
In an era where cyber threats evolve at an alarming pace and operational quietude can be disrupted at any moment, the traditional approach to...
The Radar Upgrade That Could Keep a Cold-War Bomber Flying to...
Large strategic bombers were designed for a very different battlespace than the one air forces face today. Modern conflicts rely on dense sensor networks,...
Less Noise, More Time in the Air: A New Kind of...
Archer, a U.S.-based company, has been selected to integrate its advanced electric propulsion system into the "Omen" unmanned air vehicle (UAV). The Omen UAV...
