Integrating heavy weapons onto compact robotic ground vehicles has become a growing focus for modern militaries, but the engineering challenge is significant. Small unmanned...

When a fire alarm sounds, most people instinctively head toward the nearest exit. The problem is that the closest route is not always the...

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

The growing number of low-flying drones, together with the emergence of more advanced platforms—including fiber-optic-guided UAVs—is creating an increasing challenge for detection and surveillance...

A Ground X-Vehicle Technologies (GXV-T) program aims to improve mobility, survivability, safety and effectiveness of future combat vehicles without piling excessive armor. The program...

Modern air defenses are increasingly challenged by the growing use of unmanned aircraft, but the rapid evolution of drone swarming threatens to complicate this...

Modern main battle tanks were designed to defeat threats coming from the front and sides. Today, that assumption no longer holds. Inexpensive first-person-view drones...

Airspace management is under growing pressure. Traffic density continues to rise, low-altitude operations are expanding, and controllers are often forced to rely on a...

As military activity expands beyond the atmosphere, one problem is becoming increasingly clear: preparing for conflict in orbit is fundamentally different from training for...

As drones move from niche tools to everyday infrastructure, a core challenge is becoming increasingly clear: current systems struggle to meet the endurance, autonomy,...

For more than two decades, homeland missile defense has relied on an interceptor architecture originally fielded in the early 2000s. That system was designed...

As hypersonic weapons move from demonstration programs toward operational deployment, a central challenge has emerged: how to produce them quickly and affordably at scale....

Robots designed to detect and track chemical sources, such as gas leaks, explosives, or hazardous materials, typically rely on multiple sensors working in perfect...

Navigation systems today depend heavily on satellite signals, but those signals are not always reliable. GPS can be jammed or spoofed, and in certain...

Written by Or Shalom The Milipol TechX Summit (MTX) 2026, which opened on April 28th, 2026, at the Sands Expo Convention Center in Singapore, marks...

Modern air defense systems are increasingly facing a difficult economic problem. One-way attack drones and loitering munitions can be produced cheaply and launched in...

Mortar teams depend on fire-control systems to calculate firing solutions, manage targeting data, and coordinate indirect fire missions. Traditionally, many of these functions have...

Ransomware remains one of the most disruptive cyber threats facing organizations today. Attackers continuously develop new techniques to bypass traditional security tools, making it...
