At the Zhuhai Airshow, China’s State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) revealed an innovative and versatile design for a large uncrewed diesel-electric drone submarine. This cutting-edge...

A recent cybersecurity warning has revealed that Iran is actively exploiting weaknesses in internet-connected home security cameras across Israel, using them to monitor military...

Uncrewed aircraft are now central to surveillance, logistics, and reconnaissance, but their missions don’t always unfold as planned. Fuel shortages, weather shifts, and unexpected...

Firefighting and disaster response increasingly place human crews in environments that are unstable, toxic, or simply unreachable. Collapsed structures, chemical leaks, tunnel fires, and...

Ground forces continue to face a familiar challenge: how to move supplies, gather intelligence, and evacuate casualties without exposing personnel to unnecessary risk. In...

Flying autonomous drones through unpredictable environments remains one of the biggest technical challenges in robotics. In confined spaces such as collapsed buildings, industrial sites,...

Germany, who is reconsidering its defense needs seeing the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, has signed a “pivotal agreement” with Israel Aerospace Industries...

In disaster response scenarios, emergency services often face the challenge of assessing dangerous environments without putting themselves at risk. To address this, the Fraunhofer...

Flying helicopters in contested environments is becoming increasingly hazardous, particularly as modern air defenses and electronic warfare systems grow more advanced. Traditional crewed operations...

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

Robots are often limited by how they move. Wheels struggle with obstacles, legs require complex joints and control, and propellers add weight and energy...

The growing use of drones on the battlefield is shifting the focus toward speed and scale. Small unmanned systems can be deployed in large...
