Resupply and Logistics

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

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...

Keeping frontline units supplied has always been one of the most dangerous tasks in military operations. Vehicles carrying ammunition, equipment, and spare parts often...

High-energy laser weapons are steadily moving from development programs into operational military service, but maintaining them in the field remains a significant challenge. One...

Amphibious assaults are among the most dangerous military operations. Landing forces on a hostile shoreline typically exposes troops to artillery, machine-gun fire, mines and...

Integrating heavy weapons onto compact robotic ground vehicles has become a growing focus for modern militaries, but the engineering challenge is significant. Small unmanned...

Frontline units often face a simple limitation: access to real-time aerial intelligence. In many cases, smaller formations must rely on higher command to allocate...

Last week in Tel Aviv, a workshop was held as part of the INNOFENSE program, the innovation center operated by iHLS in collaboration with...

Modern air operations are increasingly shaped by the need to strike targets at long range without exposing aircraft to dense air defense systems. Traditional...

Supplying forces in contested environments has become increasingly complex. Ground convoys are vulnerable to ambushes and improvised threats, while crewed aircraft face growing risks...

Airborne forces are designed for rapid deployment, but they often face a critical limitation once on the ground: lack of immediate heavy support. While...

Modern ground forces are under increasing pressure to operate with less exposure while maintaining mobility and firepower. Carrying heavy equipment, securing movement routes, and...

Carrier-based aviation is under pressure to extend its operational reach while reducing the workload on manned aircraft. Fighter jets are often tasked not only...

Fuel supply remains one of the most vulnerable aspects of modern military operations. Moving fuel across long distances requires convoys, infrastructure, and protection, creating...

Naval forces have long faced a persistent challenge: maintenance delays that keep critical vessels out of operation for extended periods. Inspections of hulls, decks,...

Extending the range of high-speed missiles has long been constrained by propulsion limits. Conventional rocket motors carry both fuel and oxidizer, which adds weight...

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...

Helicopter operations in contested environments remain among the most vulnerable aspects of modern military missions. Tasks such as resupply, casualty evacuation, and reconnaissance often...

Aerospace manufacturers rely heavily on titanium for critical components, thanks to its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. However, aerospace-grade titanium is expensive, energy-intensive...

Modern naval planning is increasingly shaped by speed and scale. Building new warships takes years, while crises can unfold in weeks or days. For...

Moving heavy cargo by air without runways remains a major bottleneck for emergency response, logistics, and military operations. Helicopters can do the job, but...

Ballistic missile defense has become a race against both technology and inventory. As missile threats grow in number, range, and complexity, interceptor stockpiles are...
