Unmanned Systems

Previous INNOFENSE cycles have helped innovative technologies make the leap from civilian development to defense applications. Now, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense are...

Military forces are rapidly adding drones and robotic systems, but operating them as separate platforms creates a growing coordination problem. One aircraft may collect...

Electronic warfare equipment can help aircraft detect hostile emitters, recognize threats and protect themselves from electronic attack. The problem is that traditional EW systems...

Finding a submarine beneath the ocean is one of the more difficult surveillance tasks in modern warfare. Sonar and sonobuoys can listen for underwater...

As armed forces deploy growing numbers of unmanned aircraft, managing them efficiently is becoming as important as the drones themselves. Controlling each aircraft individually...

Building on the success of previous cycles and the progress of participating technologies within the defense sector, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite...

Written By Or Shalom The DroneX 2026 exhibition at ExCeL London marks a clear turning point in the evolution of unmanned systems and airspace defense...

Following the achievements of previous cycles, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense are opening applications for the seventh cycle of INNOFENSE. The program offers...

As organizations deploy more robots, a new problem emerges: each machine can come with its own controls, software and mission-planning tools. An operator working...

Modern warships can carry sophisticated air defenses, but inexpensive drones have created a difficult problem at the opposite end of the engagement range. FPV...

Small drones have become a difficult target for infantry. They can approach quickly, change direction and present a much smaller target than a conventional...

Monitoring large stretches of ocean creates a difficult resource problem for military and security forces. Ports, shipping lanes and strategic waterways may require continuous...

If your startup applies to one of the following subjects, consider submitting your applications for INNOFENSE’s seventh cycle until October 15th, 2026: Early, remote...

Air-defense radars face an inherent problem: the signals they transmit to find aircraft can also reveal where the radar itself is located. In a...

Detecting unauthorized drones around airports, power plants, stadiums and other sensitive locations usually requires dedicated radars, radio-frequency sensors or cameras. Deploying enough of those...

Small drones have created an awkward problem for ground forces. They can be inexpensive, difficult to spot and deployed repeatedly, while intercepting them with...

iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to join the seventh cycle of INNOFENSE and receive a remarkable opportunity to showcase your technology...

Legged robots can cross terrain that stops wheeled machines, but coordinating several legs over unpredictable ground is difficult. Many robots rely on predefined gaits,...

Small robots designed to cross rough terrain face a basic mechanical challenge: jumping usually requires a mechanism to store energy, release it and then...

Detecting small drones often requires sensors to be positioned close enough to likely flight paths to pick up their signals. On a battlefield, however,...

Small, unmanned boats are increasingly being used for surveillance, logistics and other maritime missions, but their usefulness has traditionally ended at the water's surface....

Supplying electricity on the modern battlefield is becoming almost as important as delivering fuel or ammunition. Military units now rely on drones, electronic warfare...
