Protection

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...

Open-source platforms have become essential tools for software developers, but they are also increasingly being used as delivery channels for sophisticated cyberattacks. Security researchers...

Amphibious assaults place unique demands on armored vehicles. Platforms must survive open-water transit, land directly onto hostile shores, and then continue operating inland against...

Software companies regularly publish security fixes, but a patch becoming public does not necessarily mean users are protected immediately. The time between revealing a...

Unmanned ground vehicles are increasingly used to reduce risk to personnel in complex environments, but they face a persistent weakness: exposure to small, hard-to-detect...

As military and commercial operations become increasingly dependent on satellite communications, protecting those links from interference has become a growing challenge. Modern electronic warfare...

Modern combat aircraft are increasingly defined as much by software as by airframes and engines. Mission data, sensor fusion, threat libraries, and logistics systems...

L.A. Residents and Firefighting Authorities object to Emergency Communication system. After the 9/11 attacks, the federal government encouraged authorities in large cities to build emergency...

Modern military ground operations are increasingly moving toward autonomous systems capable of operating in contested environments with reduced risk to personnel. However, developing military...

Cloud environments were meant to simplify IT. Instead, for many large organizations, they have become a new source of risk. As enterprises adopted SaaS...

Air dominance is becoming harder to achieve as battlefields extend upward and outward, blurring the line between atmosphere and space. Traditional fighter jets are...

As unmanned systems become more common, the challenge is no longer just flying a drone, but managing many of them at once. In current...

One of the main constraints on unmanned aerial systems has always been endurance. Even large drones with long range are limited by fuel capacity,...

As autonomous technologies continue to mature, air forces are increasingly exploring how much of a combat aircraft's workload can be transferred from the pilot...

Modern infantry operate in environments saturated with threats and information. Ballistic danger, laser exposure, electronic noise, and the constant need to process data from...

Modern military operations face a growing mismatch between threats and available strike options. High-end precision weapons deliver accuracy and range, but they are expensive,...

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

As artificial intelligence systems grow more capable, protecting them has become a new kind of security challenge. Unlike traditional software, advanced AI models can...

Google announces the formation of Sidewalk Labs, whose goal is finding technological solutions to issues rising in urban living such as living expenses, transportation...

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory in collaboration with the United States Army Research Laboratory are studying the structure of the human skull in order...

Protective materials are used in every field, beginning from the architecture and construction of high-rise buildings to infrared stealth devices for military applications. However,...
