Envision a critical operational scenario in the future battlespace: swarms of autonomous drones tasked with real-time data analysis, identifying emergent threats, and executing complex...

Robots intended for combat support or hazardous-duty missions typically rely on pre-programmed actions or remote-control interfaces, limiting how precisely they can mimic human movement....

Operating aircraft over heavily defended territory has become increasingly difficult as air-defense systems grow more capable and networked. Traditional surveillance platforms struggle to remain...

Europe’s security planners are increasingly focused on the blurring line between conventional and nuclear missile forces along NATO’s eastern flank. Mobile missile systems that...

In an era where cyber threats evolve at an alarming pace and operational quietude can be disrupted at any moment, the traditional approach to...

Modern militaries face a growing challenge in striking high-value targets that are both well-defended and highly mobile. Traditional cruise and ballistic missiles offer range...

Large strategic bombers were designed for a very different battlespace than the one air forces face today. Modern conflicts rely on dense sensor networks,...

Modern naval forces are increasingly challenged by the limits of traditional missile defense. Ship-based interceptors and radar systems were largely designed to counter predictable...

Archer, a U.S.-based company, has been selected to integrate its advanced electric propulsion system into the "Omen" unmanned air vehicle (UAV). The Omen UAV...

For much of the post–World War II era, Japan kept defense-spending tightly constrained, relying on alliances and a strictly defensive posture to ensure security....

Robots designed for ground exploration often struggle with two conflicting demands: they need to travel long distances efficiently, yet also maneuver through cluttered or...

Air-defense systems have become highly effective at intercepting rockets and missiles, but they come with a persistent problem: cost and capacity. Low-cost threats such...

Modern armored vehicles have become increasingly difficult to defeat as active protection systems, reactive armor, and rapid maneuvering continue to advance. Conventional anti-tank weapons...

Modern militaries are facing a growing challenge: how to carry out dangerous missions in threat-saturated environments without risking human lives. Urban warfare, tunnel infiltration,...

Modern military operations depend on uninterrupted communication and rapid data sharing, yet many battlefields are anything but cooperative. Urban density, electronic warfare, and natural...

For decades, Israel’s artillery relied on tracked systems introduced in the 1980s. While dependable, those platforms were manpower-heavy, slower to reposition, and increasingly mismatched...

The rapid spread of unmanned aerial systems has made airspace security more complex for military forces and critical facilities. Small drones are increasingly capable,...

Modern FPV drones have proven valuable for reconnaissance and precision attack roles, but their dependence on radio links has become an increasingly serious limitation....

The next generation of warfare is already upon us, unfolding in the shadows and beneath the waves. It's a conflict defined not by brute...

Marine collisions with fixed offshore structures—such as oil platforms, abandoned wellheads, and navigational hazards—remain a persistent problem for commercial operators and coastal authorities. These...

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...

The rapid spread of small, inexpensive drones has created a growing challenge for security forces and militaries alike. What were once isolated aerial threats...
