Underwater environments are notoriously demanding for electronic systems. Sensors used by divers and underwater robots must withstand pressure, moisture and constant mechanical stress while...

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

Collapsed buildings, flooded tunnels, and debris-filled drainage systems are among the most difficult environments for search-and-rescue teams to access after natural disasters. Small ground...

One of the biggest challenges facing modern air defense is no longer just stopping incoming threats, it's doing so at a sustainable cost. Militaries...

The rapid growth of military drone operations is exposing a major weakness in traditional air defense. While medium-sized unmanned aircraft used for reconnaissance and...

Modern fighter pilots are expected to process enormous amounts of information while flying at high speed, tracking multiple airborne threats and coordinating with other...

Commercial drones have become a standard operational tool for military and law enforcement forces in recent years, but their widespread use raises a strategic...

Long-range precision weapons have become increasingly important for militaries seeking to strike targets while keeping launch platforms outside heavily defended areas. The challenge is...

Defending against drone swarms has become one of the biggest challenges facing modern militaries. Traditional counter-drone weapons often destroy one target at a time,...

Small drones are becoming faster, more autonomous, and increasingly resistant to traditional countermeasures. Many counter-drone systems rely on electronic jamming or cyber techniques, but...

The growing use of drones, cruise missiles and low-flying aircraft is putting renewed pressure on short-range air defense systems. Soldiers operating near the front...

Modern air-defense systems are forcing combat aircraft to engage targets from ever greater distances. Flying too close to heavily defended areas increases the risk...

Modern fighter pilots are expected to do far more than fly and engage targets. They must process sensor data, manage electronic warfare systems, coordinate...

Modern combat aircraft face an increasingly difficult challenge: operating in airspace saturated with advanced radar systems, long-range missiles, and integrated air defenses. For unmanned...

Modern electric grids are increasingly exposed to disruptions that can occur simultaneously. Cyberattacks, equipment failures, extreme weather, wildfires and physical attacks can each affect...

Modern anti-ship missiles are becoming increasingly difficult to defeat. Equipped with radar, infrared, laser or electro-optical seekers, many can identify and track their targets...

Robots are increasingly being used for inspections, emergency response, and field operations in locations that are difficult or dangerous for people to reach. However,...

Software-defined networks (SDNs) have become a cornerstone of modern data centers, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise environments. By separating the control layer from the traffic-forwarding...

The rapid spread of drones has created a new challenge for militaries: intercepting fast-moving aerial threats before they reach their targets. While many counter-drone...

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

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...

Finding security flaws in modern software has become increasingly difficult. Today's applications are built from layers of code, third-party libraries and application programming interfaces...
