If your startup applies to one of the following subjects, consider submitting your applications for INNOFENSE’s seventh cycle until October 15th, 2026: Early, remote...

Air-defense radars face an inherent problem: the signals they transmit to find aircraft can also reveal where the radar itself is located. In a...

Detecting unauthorized drones around airports, power plants, stadiums and other sensitive locations usually requires dedicated radars, radio-frequency sensors or cameras. Deploying enough of those...

Cyberattacks against online retailers traditionally require significant manual work: finding vulnerable websites, breaking into each system, installing malicious code and returning later to collect...

Small drones have created an awkward problem for ground forces. They can be inexpensive, difficult to spot and deployed repeatedly, while intercepting them with...

Software companies regularly publish security fixes, but a patch becoming public does not necessarily mean users are protected immediately. The time between revealing a...

iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to join the seventh cycle of INNOFENSE and receive a remarkable opportunity to showcase your technology...

Legged robots can cross terrain that stops wheeled machines, but coordinating several legs over unpredictable ground is difficult. Many robots rely on predefined gaits,...

Small robots designed to cross rough terrain face a basic mechanical challenge: jumping usually requires a mechanism to store energy, release it and then...

Detecting small drones often requires sensors to be positioned close enough to likely flight paths to pick up their signals. On a battlefield, however,...

Detecting biological contamination in the field can be difficult. Military personnel operating in an unfamiliar environment may need to determine whether equipment, buildings or...

Small, unmanned boats are increasingly being used for surveillance, logistics and other maritime missions, but their usefulness has traditionally ended at the water's surface....

Giving AI agents the ability to conduct cybersecurity testing creates a difficult containment problem. An autonomous system may be instructed to find vulnerabilities, test...

Supplying electricity on the modern battlefield is becoming almost as important as delivering fuel or ammunition. Military units now rely on drones, electronic warfare...

Following the immense success of the previous cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to...

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...

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...

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...

Drones increasingly need to operate at night, through smoke and in other conditions where conventional cameras struggle. Thermal imaging can solve that problem by...

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...

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...

Modern surveillance operations can require substantial technical resources. Investigators may need to identify people across social networks, connect information scattered between accounts and build...
