Small unmanned aerial systems have become an increasingly common challenge for naval forces. Surveillance drones can track ship movements, collect targeting information, and operate...

Optical satellites provide valuable imagery from orbit, but they have a well-known limitation: they depend on visibility. Clouds, storms, smoke, darkness, and atmospheric conditions...

The growing use of drones is creating new security challenges far beyond traditional battlefields. Ports, shipping lanes, offshore platforms, and commercial vessels are increasingly...

Wireless file-sharing tools have become a standard feature on modern smartphones, allowing users to transfer photos, documents, and other files without cables or internet...

Building temporary infrastructure on water is often slow, expensive and labor-intensive. Whether the goal is creating a floating bridge after a natural disaster, deploying...

The growing use of small drones on the battlefield is creating new challenges for military forces. Detecting an incoming unmanned aircraft is only the...

Protecting a major port from drones presents an increasingly difficult security problem. Maritime facilities cover large areas and contain ships, fuel infrastructure and other...

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...

Heavy body armor remains one of the most persistent physical challenges for soldiers, law enforcement officers, and security personnel. Modern plates provide essential protection,...

Stealth aircraft are designed to defeat radar, sensors, and air defenses—but in the case of the B-2 bomber, one of the most persistent threats...

Modern armored vehicles are being pushed to their limits by a changing battlefield. Infantry fighting vehicles must now deal with better-protected targets, widespread drone...

Airborne early warning remains one of the most difficult capabilities to replace. Modern air combat depends on long-range detection, tracking, and battle management, yet...

Modern military operations increasingly depend on seeing targets long before forces arrive on scene. High-risk missions, especially those involving special operations or politically sensitive...

Undersea operations present a persistent challenge: distance and endurance. Oceans are vast, and autonomous underwater vehicles must travel long ranges before reaching their mission...

Thermal imaging cameras are increasingly used in security, industrial inspection, automotive safety and emergency response. Yet one component has remained a persistent cost driver:...

Coordinating large groups of autonomous systems, whether drones, vehicles, or software agents, remains a difficult problem. In real-world conditions, signals are often noisy, incomplete,...

Locating a person in open terrain, especially in a hostile environment with no continuous communication, remains one of the most complex challenges in search...

The modern battlefield presents a persistent challenge: adversaries are learning quickly, adapting to new technologies, and forcing defense systems to respond dynamically. At the...

Small drone swarms are becoming increasingly difficult to stop using traditional air-defense systems. Conventional remotely operated gun turrets usually rely on mechanically rotating toward...

WebAssembly has become one of the technologies powering modern browser-based software. Applications that once required installation, such as image editors, collaboration tools, and visualization...

The rapid spread of small drones has created a new challenge for military forces. Quadcopters and other lightweight unmanned aircraft can conduct reconnaissance, direct...

The unmanned systems market continues to expand, but alongside developing new platforms, manufacturers must also overcome challenges related to financing, production, and international market...
