Manned-unmanned

Naval mines remain a quiet but persistent danger. Cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can block ports, restrict maneuver, and threaten both...

Modern military aviation faces a growing coordination problem. As drones, sensors, and crewed platforms multiply, commanders are often forced to juggle disconnected systems that...

Modern air operations are becoming increasingly crowded and dangerous. Advanced air defenses, long-range sensors, and rising aircraft costs make every manned sortie a calculated...

Naval mines continue to pose a disproportionate threat to modern fleets. Relatively cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can deny access to...

Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...

Stealth fighters are no longer defined only by their shape. As air combat shifts toward longer ranges, dense electronic warfare, and mixed formations of...

Modern military operations rely heavily on understanding and shaping the electromagnetic environment. Radar emissions, jamming signals, and electronic intelligence streams can shift rapidly, leaving...

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....

Moving equipment, sensors, and unmanned systems across land–sea boundaries has long been a logistical bottleneck. Most platforms are built for either terrain or water,...

Modern ground forces face a recurring challenge: many critical tasks occur in places too dangerous or too unpredictable for soldiers to enter safely. Minefields,...

Naval forces face a growing need to monitor and operate across vast stretches of ocean without relying solely on crewed ships. Long-range patrols, intelligence...

Modern air forces face a growing challenge in evaluating new air-to-air weapons: missiles must be tested against maneuvering, fighter-size targets, not simulators or scaled-down...

Modern amphibious forces increasingly rely on unmanned systems for reconnaissance, strike missions, and real-time situational awareness. Traditional helicopter assault ships are limited in the...

One of the biggest challenges in modern air combat is detecting, tracking, and engaging fast-moving aerial targets at long distances. Traditionally, only crewed fighter...

Modern battlefields place growing demands on unmanned ground vehicles, which are increasingly used not only for logistics but also for frontline support. Traditional armored...

Hypersonic weapons have traditionally been associated with long development cycles, specialized materials, and extremely high production costs. These factors have limited their deployment and...

In a recent demonstration that signals a turning point in air combat technology, a manned fighter jet successfully controlled an unmanned combat drone during...

A new class of small, ground robots is being pitched for frontline missions: low-cost, networked unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) that operate in coordinated swarms...

A new unmanned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter platform has been revealed, designed to operate from ships, islands, and austere locations while carrying...

Calling all defense-tech startups! Don’t miss out on the exciting opportunity to participate in the Defense-Tech Startup Competition at the Global Defense Tech Summit...

Lockheed Martin has unveiled a groundbreaking development in military aviation: the ability to control drones using artificial intelligence (AI) directly from the cockpit of...

Skyryse, a leader in aviation technology, has teamed up with the U.S. Army to introduce cutting-edge advancements to helicopter operations, particularly enhancing the fleet's...
