Protection

Maintaining reliable communications in congested or contested environments remains a growing challenge for military and unmanned systems. Most fielded radios still rely on omnidirectional...

Last week in Tel Aviv, a workshop was held as part of the INNOFENSE program, the innovation center operated by iHLS in collaboration with...

Protecting digital information usually depends on cryptographic keys, which are random sequences used to encrypt and decrypt data. The security of everything from smartphones...

Countering small drones has become increasingly difficult as unmanned aircraft grow smaller, cheaper, and more numerous. Traditional radar systems can detect many aerial threats,...

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

Flying autonomously through complex environments requires more than knowing where a drone is. The aircraft must continuously understand what surrounds it, distinguish open routes...

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...

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...

The US Army is engineering a new Hostile Fire Detection system for its fleet of armored combat vehicles to identify, track and target enemy...

Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them easy to detect and limit their ability...

Modern naval planning is increasingly shaped by speed and scale. Building new warships takes years, while crises can unfold in weeks or days. For...

Modern air operations are becoming increasingly crowded and dangerous. Advanced air defenses, long-range sensors, and rising aircraft costs make every manned sortie a calculated...

Humanoid robots are often promoted as versatile helpers, but in real-world conditions they remain constrained by rigid frames and limited mobility. Tight spaces, uneven...

Critical munition production expansion

Most internet users rely on password managers to handle dozens, sometimes hundreds, of login credentials. These tools promise convenience and security by storing sensitive...

Advanced artificial intelligence models have become increasingly integrated into defense planning and operational workflows, but their growing role is also exposing tensions between military...

Modern combat platforms are generating more data than ever before, but turning that information into actionable decisions remains a challenge. Sensors, radios, and surveillance...

Maritime operations are becoming increasingly complex, with growing demand for persistent surveillance, extended reach, and reduced risk to personnel. Traditional submarines can provide these...

The growing use of inexpensive drones has created a major challenge for air defense systems. Small reconnaissance UAVs and FPV strike drones can be...

Security labels, optical data storage systems, and environmental sensors often face the same limitation: once information is encoded, it remains static. Creating materials that...

Detecting objects beneath the ocean surface remains one of the most difficult challenges in maritime sensing. Water limits the effectiveness of many conventional detection...

Firefighters frequently operate in environments where collapsing structures, intense heat, toxic smoke, and rapidly changing conditions pose significant risks. Entering these areas to extinguish...
