Small drones are rapidly becoming a dominant feature of modern battlefields. They are inexpensive, adaptable, and increasingly used for reconnaissance, strike, and interception roles....

The word “terrorism” is typically associated with bomb and bullets, but security experts say that there are other types of terrorism which may bring...

One of the biggest concerns surrounding advanced artificial intelligence is no longer whether it can generate text or write code, but whether it can...

Modern military systems are becoming increasingly software-driven and interconnected. Sensors, drones, command-and-control platforms, electronic warfare systems, and weapons must all work together across air,...

Unmanned aerial systems are taking on increasingly complex missions, from reconnaissance and border monitoring to strike operations and electronic surveillance. But as drones move...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) will conduct a week-long airflow study, starting today, in portions of the New...

Modern combat aircraft generate enormous amounts of data, from engine health and avionics status to mission-system performance. As fleets age and platforms become more...

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

Most current password security systems for the Internet are flawed. And it goes beyond the systems themselves: Passwords really are just an awful way...

The rapid spread of small drones on the battlefield is exposing a persistent weakness in traditional air defense: low-altitude coverage. Quadcopters and loitering munitions...

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

As 5G networks continue expanding into critical infrastructure, autonomous systems, and industrial environments, the demands on network security are increasing rapidly. High-speed connectivity and...

Resupplying frontline units has always carried risk. Ground convoys remain vulnerable to surveillance, ambush, long-range fires, and loitering munitions. At the same time, modern...

Modern military operations are increasingly defined by speed, flexibility, and reduced risk to personnel. At the same time, forces operating in complex environments, such...

The Pentagon plans to create a multi-layer system of sensors for tracking hypersonic missiles, but a new report released by the CSIS calls out...

The goal: Human soldier decision-makers operating in a command and control capacity to receive organized, fused and integrated combat data in real time from...

Modern electronic warfare increasingly revolves around one challenge: finding signals that are designed not to be found. Advanced radar systems now use low-probability-of-intercept waveforms,...

iHLS Israel Homeland Security In this weekly report (25 November 2014): The AUS&R 2014 Conference and Exhibition will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, November 26, under any...

As missile threats grow more complex, particularly with the emergence of hypersonic weapons, traditional detection systems are struggling to keep pace. These threats travel...

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

For decades, Israel’s artillery relied on tracked systems introduced in the 1980s. While dependable, those platforms were manpower-heavy, slower to reposition, and increasingly mismatched...

The growing use of inexpensive drones has created a major challenge for air defense systems. Small reconnaissance UAVs and FPV strike drones can be...
