ISR

Browser extensions have long been treated as harmless productivity tools, but their growing access to sensitive data is becoming a serious security concern. As...

Cyber operations are increasingly seen as a way to shape the battlefield before the first aircraft or ground unit moves. Power grids, communications networks,...

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

Envision a critical operational scenario in the future battlespace: swarms of autonomous drones tasked with real-time data analysis, identifying emergent threats, and executing complex...

Modern militaries are generating more data than ever before, but turning that data into timely battlefield advantage remains a challenge. Sensors, drones, logistics systems,...

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...

In an era where cyber threats evolve at an alarming pace and operational quietude can be disrupted at any moment, the traditional approach 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,...

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...

For much of the post–World War II era, Japan kept defense-spending tightly constrained, relying on alliances and a strictly defensive posture to ensure security....

Modern armored vehicles have become increasingly difficult to defeat as active protection systems, reactive armor, and rapid maneuvering continue to advance. Conventional anti-tank weapons...

Monitoring vessel movements has become far more difficult in recent years. Ships involved in sanctions evasion, smuggling, or illicit transfers frequently disable their Automatic...

Modern ground forces face a recurring challenge: many critical tasks occur in places too dangerous or too unpredictable for soldiers to enter safely. Minefields,...

Maintaining communication in remote or obstructed terrain remains a persistent challenge for border and special-operations units. Steep valleys, dense forests, and rugged highlands often...

Naval forces face a growing need to monitor and operate across vast stretches of ocean without relying solely on crewed ships. Long-range patrols, intelligence...

Modern militaries are facing a growing challenge: how to carry out dangerous missions in threat-saturated environments without risking human lives. Urban warfare, tunnel infiltration,...

Modern military operations depend on uninterrupted communication and rapid data sharing, yet many battlefields are anything but cooperative. Urban density, electronic warfare, and natural...

Modern militaries face a growing challenge: traditional unmanned aircraft such as MALE-class drones offer advanced ISR and strike capabilities, but their high cost and...

The rapid spread of unmanned aerial systems has made airspace security more complex for military forces and critical facilities. Small drones are increasingly capable,...

For decades, mobile phones have relied on a fixed network identifier that quietly follows users wherever they go. Known as the International Mobile Subscriber...

Marine collisions with fixed offshore structures—such as oil platforms, abandoned wellheads, and navigational hazards—remain a persistent problem for commercial operators and coastal authorities. These...

Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them easy to detect and limit their ability...
