ISR

The effective coordination of numerous unmanned aerial vehicles presents a significant logistical and operational challenge. Traditional models, where a single operator controls one or...

Modern warfare presents extreme risks to soldiers conducting reconnaissance and direct action missions. Operating in complex, contested environments exposes personnel to constant threats, making...

Long-range unmanned strike systems are reshaping how smaller forces think about reach and deterrence. Until recently, extended-range attack drones were largely the domain of...

Robots are increasingly deployed in environments that are unsafe or inaccessible for humans, from collapsed buildings and underground tunnels to industrial sites and disaster...

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...

Firefighters face some of the most hostile operating conditions of any emergency service. Thick smoke blocks vision, heat degrades sensors, and GPS signals are...

For modern land forces, armored vehicles are meant to provide mobility, protection, and situational awareness without placing crews at unnecessary risk. When a platform...

Organizations are increasingly expected to share data across corporate boundaries, yet cybersecurity risks have never been higher. As partnerships, mergers, and joint technology projects...

Naval mines continue to pose a disproportionate threat to modern fleets. Relatively cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can deny access to...

Laser-based data links are increasingly attractive for aircraft and space systems that need to move large volumes of information quickly. Free-space optical communication (FSOC)...

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...

The Pentagon recently embarked on an ambitious journey to implement artificial intelligence (AI) tools across logistics, maintenance, and intelligence functions. Expectations were high: AI...

Advanced military systems increasingly depend on civilian technologies that scale fast, iterate quickly, and draw on dense supply chains. Drones, electric propulsion, sensors, and...

Modern intelligence collection is facing a structural problem. Traditional spy satellites are powerful but scarce, expensive, and vulnerable. With only a handful in orbit,...

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 Pentagon is accelerating its push into military artificial intelligence by integrating Grok, the generative AI model developed by xAI, into its secure digital...

Modern battlefields are shaped as much by the electromagnetic spectrum as by physical terrain. Communications, sensors, navigation signals, and targeting systems all depend on...

Modern military drones rely heavily on satellite navigation to orient themselves, map terrain, and support ground forces. In environments where GPS or GNSS signals...

As unmanned systems become more common, the challenge is no longer just flying a drone, but managing many of them at once. In current...

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 military operations rely heavily on understanding and shaping the electromagnetic environment. Radar emissions, jamming signals, and electronic intelligence streams can shift rapidly, leaving...

One of the main constraints on unmanned aerial systems has always been endurance. Even large drones with long range are limited by fuel capacity,...
