Modern anti-ship missiles are becoming increasingly difficult to defeat. Equipped with radar, infrared, laser or electro-optical seekers, many can identify and track their targets...

Robots are increasingly being used for inspections, emergency response, and field operations in locations that are difficult or dangerous for people to reach. However,...

Mobile communications have become essential for modern military organizations, but they also create a security challenge. Smartphones and tablets offer flexibility and rapid access...

Software-defined networks (SDNs) have become a cornerstone of modern data centers, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise environments. By separating the control layer from the traffic-forwarding...

The rapid spread of drones has created a new challenge for militaries: intercepting fast-moving aerial threats before they reach their targets. While many counter-drone...

Satellites have become a critical part of modern military operations, providing communications, navigation, intelligence and targeting data to forces around the world. As dependence...

Building temporary infrastructure on water is often slow, expensive and labor-intensive. Whether the goal is creating a floating bridge after a natural disaster, deploying...

Finding security flaws in modern software has become increasingly difficult. Today's applications are built from layers of code, third-party libraries and application programming interfaces...

Modern militaries rely heavily on satellites and sophisticated electronic systems for communications, navigation, intelligence gathering and precision targeting. Rather than destroying these assets with...

Modern air defense systems are becoming increasingly difficult to penetrate. Long before an aircraft reaches its target, ground-based radars can detect, track and coordinate...

Collecting data at sea often requires researchers to choose between two very different types of vehicles. Aerial drones can quickly survey large areas but...

The widespread use of first-person view (FPV) attack drones has changed the way armies think about protecting armored vehicles. These inexpensive drones are capable...

Identifying people from a distance has long been a challenge for security systems. Facial recognition often requires high-resolution images and unobstructed views, while clothing,...

Modern military and civilian systems depend heavily on precise timing. GPS satellites do far more than provide location - they also distribute highly accurate...

As autonomous technologies continue to mature, air forces are increasingly exploring how much of a combat aircraft's workload can be transferred from the pilot...

Most robots rely heavily on cameras and external tracking systems to understand their surroundings and control movement. But in cluttered, dark, or visually degraded...

Countering small drones does not always require shooting them down. In many situations, denying a drone the ability to see its target is enough...

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are widely used to protect online privacy by encrypting internet traffic and hiding users' identities from websites, internet providers, and...

Modern military operations increasingly depend on the ability to strike high-value targets from long distances before they can threaten friendly forces. Command posts, air...

One of the biggest challenges facing modern military reconnaissance is persistence. Small drones provide valuable situational awareness, but they are limited by battery life,...

Artificial intelligence models increasingly serve as the foundation for hundreds of products, from chatbots and coding assistants to enterprise software and security tools. As...

Autonomous AI agents are becoming increasingly capable of writing code, installing software, modifying files, and interacting with operating systems with minimal human supervision. These...
