Why Future Battlefield Drones May Not Need GPS at All
Modern military drones rely heavily on satellite navigation to orient themselves, map terrain, and support ground forces. In environments where GPS or GNSS signals...
Truck-Mounted Microwave Weapon Targets Drone Swarms at Multi-KM Range
Low-cost drones and coordinated swarms are rapidly eroding the effectiveness of traditional air-defense methods. Missiles are expensive, guns have limited coverage, and both can...
From Gaming Gear to Battlefield Training: The New FPV Simulator
Small first-person-view (FPV) drones have become a central tool in modern conflicts, but training operators remains a challenge. Real-world FPV flying demands quick reactions,...
One Person, a Whole Swarm: The Drone Control Breakthrough
As unmanned systems become more common, the challenge is no longer just flying a drone, but managing many of them at once. In current...
When GPS Goes Dark, This Drone Keeps Flying
Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...
AI and EW Team Up to Outsmart Enemy Radars
Modern military operations rely heavily on understanding and shaping the electromagnetic environment. Radar emissions, jamming signals, and electronic intelligence streams can shift rapidly, leaving...
Mapping at Scale: The Robot Dog Built for Modern Security Missions
Organizations responsible for logistics, infrastructure, and critical facilities are increasingly required to inspect, map, and monitor enormous areas — sometimes hazardous or inaccessible —...
Not a New Missile — a Smarter Way to Build More...
Rising demand for missiles has exposed a persistent challenge across defense supply chains: propulsion components are difficult to scale quickly without introducing delays or...
Autonomous Refueling Pushes Drones Beyond Their Old Limits
One of the main constraints on unmanned aerial systems has always been endurance. Even large drones with long range are limited by fuel capacity,...
S-500: An Air Defense System Built for Threats That Fly Too...
Modern air defenses are being pushed to their limits by faster, higher-flying, and more complex threats. Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and even...
Stopping Drones Without Collateral Damage: A New Approach
Small, commercially available drones have become a persistent battlefield problem. Easy to acquire and modify, they are now widely used for reconnaissance, targeting, and...
Iron Dome Set the Standard, but Now Others Are Building Their...
For much of the post–Cold War period, the United Kingdom invested relatively little in homeland air and missile defense. Long-range ballistic threats were seen...
A Fold-Wing Drone That Delivers EW Where Big Platforms Can’t
Electronic warfare is no longer confined to large ships, fixed sites, or crewed aircraft. In littoral environments—where coastlines, islands, and narrow waterways limit maneuvering...
Forget Contractors: These Drones Are Built by Airmen Themselves
Modern air forces are under growing pressure to adapt quickly to a battlefield where unmanned systems evolve faster than traditional procurement cycles. Commercial drones...
The Frightening Evolution: When a Suicide Drone Becomes an Air Hunter
Imagine a quiet night, its stillness broken only by a familiar, monotonous hum – the ominous sound of Shahed loitering munitions. Ground forces have...
The Robot That Turns Orders Into Objects
Robotic fabrication has traditionally required specialized skills, detailed digital designs, and lengthy production times. In most environments—industrial, commercial, or operational—this limits how quickly custom...
Robot Fighter Copies Every Move of Its Human Operator
Robots intended for combat support or hazardous-duty missions typically rely on pre-programmed actions or remote-control interfaces, limiting how precisely they can mimic human movement....
This Stealth UAV Is Built to Scout Ahead of the Strike
Operating aircraft over heavily defended territory has become increasingly difficult as air-defense systems grow more capable and networked. Traditional surveillance platforms struggle to remain...
When Light Meets Steel: Laser-Armed UAVs Reshaping Aerial Combat
Modern aerial battlefields are becoming increasingly congested, characterized by a proliferation of small, low-cost threats that prove challenging and often uneconomical to intercept using...
Flying Sensors Strengthen Defense of Critical Infrastructure
Power transmission lines stretch across forests, farmland, and mountainous terrain, where they face constant exposure to heat, vegetation growth, and shifting weather patterns. These...
AI “Search Dog” Learns the Field Like a Human
Search-and-rescue teams often struggle with a basic operational challenge: disaster zones are unpredictable, unmapped, and full of obstacles that confuse traditional robotic systems. Standard...
A Budget Hypersonic Missile With Big Strategic Implications
Modern air- and missile-defense systems face a growing imbalance: interceptors are becoming increasingly expensive, while offensive weapons—especially drones and guided munitions—are rapidly decreasing in...
