Protection

Modern militaries rely heavily on satellites and sophisticated electronic systems for communications, navigation, intelligence gathering and precision targeting. Rather than destroying these assets with...

Modern air defense systems are becoming increasingly difficult to penetrate. Long before an aircraft reaches its target, ground-based radars can detect, track and coordinate...

The widespread use of first-person view (FPV) attack drones has changed the way armies think about protecting armored vehicles. These inexpensive drones are capable...

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...

Countering small drones does not always require shooting them down. In many situations, denying a drone the ability to see its target is enough...

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are widely used to protect online privacy by encrypting internet traffic and hiding users' identities from websites, internet providers, and...

Modern military operations increasingly depend on the ability to strike high-value targets from long distances before they can threaten friendly forces. Command posts, air...

One of the biggest challenges facing modern military reconnaissance is persistence. Small drones provide valuable situational awareness, but they are limited by battery life,...

Artificial intelligence models increasingly serve as the foundation for hundreds of products, from chatbots and coding assistants to enterprise software and security tools. As...

Autonomous AI agents are becoming increasingly capable of writing code, installing software, modifying files, and interacting with operating systems with minimal human supervision. These...

As artificial intelligence systems become more autonomous, one of the biggest challenges facing developers is ensuring they remain confined to controlled testing environments. Modern...

Unmanned surface vessels are rapidly evolving from reconnaissance platforms into armed combat systems capable of operating alongside conventional naval forces. As maritime threats become...

Modern surveillance systems collect enormous amounts of visual information, but turning that data into actionable intelligence remains a challenge. Operators monitoring borders, military bases,...

The rapid spread of inexpensive drones has created a growing challenge for air-defense systems. Traditional surface-to-air missiles can be effective against unmanned aircraft, but...

AI-powered web browsers are beginning to move beyond answering questions. Many now include autonomous agents capable of browsing websites, comparing products, booking travel, filling...

The growing use of small drones around military installations has forced defense organizations to rethink how they protect sensitive facilities. Commercially available unmanned aircraft...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a core military capability, but turning promising algorithms into tools that soldiers can actually use remains a significant challenge....

Protecting military bases from small drones has become increasingly difficult. Commercially available unmanned aircraft are becoming more capable, flying farther, carrying larger payloads and...

Collecting data in the Arctic is often as challenging as the research itself. Beneath seemingly solid snow can lie hidden pools of icy water,...

Detecting objects beneath the ocean surface remains one of the most difficult challenges in maritime sensing. Water limits the effectiveness of many conventional detection...

Apco Aviation Defense is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to...

Biological threats present a unique challenge for military organizations. Information about disease outbreaks, unusual health events, laboratory findings, intelligence reports, and environmental conditions often...
