When Helicopters Start Acting Like Control Towers
Modern military aviation faces a growing coordination problem. As drones, sensors, and crewed platforms multiply, commanders are often forced to juggle disconnected systems that...
Why Air-Launched Drones Are the Next Air Defense Challenge
Air defenses are increasingly being shaped by the types of threats they face. Slow, propeller-driven drones are relatively easy to detect and engage once...
The Tech Giving Armored Vehicles a 360-Degree Safety Net
Armored vehicles are facing a wider and more complex threat environment than ever before. Alongside traditional anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades, modern battlefields are...
Stacking the Shield: A New Approach to Sky Protection
Air and missile defense planners are facing a rapidly widening threat spectrum. Beyond traditional aircraft, modern forces must contend with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles,...
How Autonomous Sea Drones Are Extending Naval Defense Beyond the Coast
Navies are facing a growing challenge offshore: how to maintain persistent awareness and protection across vast maritime areas without tying up crewed vessels for...
The Border That Watches Its Back
Modern borders are increasingly difficult to defend with traditional means alone. Fast-moving ground forces, low-flying drones, cyber interference, and long-range missiles compress reaction times...
The Warship Laser That Hits Tiny Targets Without Missing a Beat
Modern warships are increasingly exposed to short-range aerial threats that traditional defenses struggle to counter efficiently. Small drones and fast, maneuverable targets can overwhelm...
A Missile Meant for Tanks Just Took Down a Drone
A growing challenge for modern forces is the rapid spread of unmanned threats across air and maritime domains. Small drones and unmanned surface vessels...
Young Startups Drive Defense Innovation: An Unusually High Volume of Orders...
In recent years, the defense establishment has been facing a dual challenge. On the one hand, there is a growing need for fast, flexible...
The Battle Tank Built Around Sensors, Not Just Armor
Heavy armored warfare is entering a transition period. Legacy main battle tanks remain lethal, but they are increasingly challenged by precision anti-tank weapons, drones,...
Fighting Drones from Space: A New Defense Concept Emerges
As drone threats grow in range, speed, and sophistication, many existing counter-UAS systems struggle to keep up. Ground-based radars are limited by terrain, jammers...
From Swarms to Sound Waves: The New Face of Modern Warfare
Modern warfare is increasingly shaped by technologies that operate beyond traditional bullets and bombs. As conflicts move into dense urban areas and contested electromagnetic...
A Simple Cage Takes On One of the Tank’s Biggest New...
Modern main battle tanks were designed to defeat threats coming from the front and sides. Today, that assumption no longer holds. Inexpensive first-person-view drones...
The Counter-UAS Tech Built to Close Blind Spots, Not Chase Drones
Small drones are no longer a niche threat. From improvised FPV strike platforms to loitering munitions and coordinated swarms, unmanned aircraft are exploiting gaps...
The Last-Second Defense Built to Stop FPV Drones Cold
Small, fast FPV drones have become one of the most difficult threats for ground forces to manage. Flying low and maneuvering aggressively, these systems...
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...
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...
