INNOFENSE Call for Startups – Dual-Use Technologies
Following the immense success of the previous cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to...
Scientists Found a Way to Send Data Through Distorted Light
Free-space laser communications promise fiber-like data rates without requiring a physical cable, making them attractive for satellites, remote locations and other environments where laying...
This Torpedo Gets Wings Before It Goes Underwater
Anti-submarine aircraft traditionally need to get relatively close to the area where a submarine is believed to be operating before deploying a torpedo. That...
This Autonomous Hybrid Vehicle Could Take Soldiers Out of Supply Missions
Keeping frontline forces supplied is one of the most dangerous tasks on the battlefield. Delivering ammunition, food, fuel and medical equipment often requires convoys...
Hackers Are Turning Telegram Into a Tool for Digital Espionage
Targeted cyber-espionage does not always begin with a technical exploit. For journalists, activists and other high-risk individuals, attackers can spend considerable time studying their...
Tiny Thermal Sensors Could Give Military Drones Much Better Night Vision
Drones increasingly need to operate at night, through smoke and in other conditions where conventional cameras struggle. Thermal imaging can solve that problem by...
Militaries’ Next Big Upgrade Could Be a Smarter Power Grid
Modern military units are becoming increasingly dependent on electricity. Drones need regular charging, electronic warfare equipment can draw substantial power, and edge-computing systems must...
A New Attack Tricks Your Computer About How Much Memory It...
Windows 11 uses hardware-backed security to isolate sensitive information even from software with administrator privileges. But those protections depend on the hardware beneath them...
Not Just What You Say, but How You Say It: Timlul’s...
Timlul is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to the technological...
China and Iran Have a New Surveillance Assistant: AI
Modern surveillance operations can require substantial technical resources. Investigators may need to identify people across social networks, connect information scattered between accounts and build...
AI Leaders Want to Slow the Race Before Safety Falls Further...
Artificial intelligence systems are becoming more capable of acting independently, using external tools and interacting with real-world digital infrastructure. That progress is creating a...
This Portable System Is Built to Command Future Autonomous Aircraft
Collaborative combat aircraft are being developed to fly alongside crewed fighters, carrying sensors, electronic warfare equipment or weapons while taking on missions that may...
This Cyber Test Creates Thousands of Malware Variants to Challenge Defenses
Cybersecurity tools are typically tested against known malicious files and behaviors, but real attackers rarely leave their code unchanged. Malware can be rewritten or...
What If You Could Find Your Air Defense’s Blind Spots Before...
Counter-drone systems are becoming an essential part of military base protection, but knowing whether they will perform as expected during a real attack remains...
Cyborg Cockroaches Are Getting Smarter at Navigating Difficult Terrain
Small robots could be valuable for exploring collapsed buildings, damaged infrastructure and other spaces that are too confined or dangerous for people. But building...
This Drone Could Cross Oceans Before Launching Its Missiles
Long-endurance drones such as the MQ-9 Reaper have spent decades performing surveillance and strike missions, but the environment they were designed for is changing....
Synthetic Threats Bring New Complexity to Real Air Combat Training
Large-scale air combat exercises face a practical limitation: creating a realistic battlefield can require dozens of aircraft, support platforms and air-defense systems operating simultaneously....
New Edge Computing Could Make Missile Warnings Faster From Space
Space-based sensors can generate enormous amounts of data while monitoring missile launches, spacecraft and other fast-moving threats. The challenge is getting useful information to...
A New Submarine Drone Is Built to Patrol Where GPS Can’t...
Monitoring large areas beneath the sea is difficult, expensive and potentially dangerous. Crewed submarines and surface vessels can perform surveillance and mine-clearing missions, but...
This Attack Tricks AI Agents One Innocent Request at a Time
AI assistants are rapidly evolving from chatbots that simply answer questions into autonomous agents capable of browsing websites, using software tools, sending emails and...
This AI Builds Drone Swarms Just to See If Defenses Can...
Stopping one drone is very different from defending against dozens or hundreds arriving together. A coordinated swarm can approach from several directions, divide into...
The Next Big Artillery Upgrade Could Be Putting the Gun on...
Towed artillery remains an important source of battlefield firepower, but modern counter-battery sensors and drones have made staying in one firing position increasingly dangerous....
