The growing use of small drones is creating a new operational burden: countering them often requires trained specialists, dedicated equipment, and time-consuming setup. In...

Modern combat increasingly depends on the rapid movement of information between units. Drones, helicopters, artillery systems, and ground troops all generate large amounts of...

Artillery remains one of the most decisive tools on the battlefield, but modern military operations are demanding more than range and firepower alone. Today's...

Modern drone operations increasingly face a common challenge: GPS cannot always be trusted. Electronic warfare systems, signal interference, and environmental factors can degrade navigation...

Browser extensions have become a popular way to add AI assistants directly into web browsers, allowing users to search, summarize information, and interact with...

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

Apco Aviation Defense is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to...

Hypersonic vehicles create an unusually difficult navigation problem. Traveling at several times the speed of sound leaves little room for positioning errors, while satellite...

Monitoring large stretches of ocean creates a difficult resource problem for military and security forces. Ports, shipping lanes and strategic waterways may require continuous...

Modern air-defense systems face a growing challenge: the number of incoming threats is rising, and so is the cost of intercepting them. Rockets, drones,...

Modern autonomous systems depend heavily on continuous communication. Drone swarms, robotic teams, and distributed AI agents typically exchange data wirelessly to coordinate movement, share...

Firefighters face some of the most hostile operating conditions of any emergency service. Thick smoke blocks vision, heat degrades sensors, and GPS signals are...

Airspace surveillance is becoming more complex as traffic density increases and new types of aircraft operate at lower altitudes. Air traffic controllers are often...

Creating interactive, controllable digital environments is a complex, resource-intensive endeavor. Generating a responsive world from a simple prompt, rather than extensive coding, has been...

Modern air operations are being stretched by distance, cost, and risk. Fighter aircraft are expected to operate deeper into contested airspace, while facing increasingly...

AI defense startups investment review

As air forces adapt to more contested environments, there is growing demand for platforms that can operate alongside manned aircraft while reducing risk to...

Robots are often limited by the very components that power them. Traditional electric motors provide strength and precision, but they also add weight, rigidity,...

Rescue helicopters operating in contested environments face a growing threat from infrared-guided missiles. While onboard warning systems can alert crews to incoming threats, they...

Modern military operations are increasingly defined by speed, flexibility, and reduced risk to personnel. At the same time, forces operating in complex environments, such...

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...
