Seven Hours in the Air: A New Long-Range Attack Drone Emerges
Long-range unmanned strike systems are reshaping how smaller forces think about reach and deterrence. Until recently, extended-range attack drones were largely the domain of...
This Machine Learning Trick Can Turn Infrared Into Clear Vision
Robots are increasingly deployed in environments that are unsafe or inaccessible for humans, from collapsed buildings and underground tunnels to industrial sites and disaster...
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 Firefighting Robot That Sees Through Smoke Using Radar
Firefighters face some of the most hostile operating conditions of any emergency service. Thick smoke blocks vision, heat degrades sensors, and GPS signals are...
Why Modern Navies Prefer Quiet Missiles Over Fast Ones
Modern naval forces face a difficult equation at sea. Warships are expected to operate closer to contested coastlines, where radar clutter, civilian traffic, and...
Why Future Military Drones May Never Need to Land Again
One of the main limits on unmanned aircraft operations is endurance. Even the most efficient drones eventually have to land or return to base...
From Smooth Floors to Stairwells: A New Kind of Robot Mobility
Stairs remain a stubborn obstacle for mobile robots. Wheels are fast and efficient on flat ground, but they struggle the moment elevation changes appear....
When Robots Start Listening, Missions Get Safer
Robots have long struggled outside carefully controlled environments. While factory automation excels at repetitive, predefined tasks, even small changes in lighting, object position, or...
Why Future Minehunting May Happen From Shore, Not at Sea
Naval mines continue to pose a disproportionate threat to modern fleets. Relatively cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can deny access to...
Not Just Fast — This Missile Knows How to Evade
Defending maritime approaches has become increasingly complex as naval air defenses grow more capable. Modern surface combatants rely on layered sensors, radar-guided interceptors, and...
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...
How Active Protection Is Redefining Tank Survivability
Modern armored warfare is being reshaped by the rapid spread of advanced anti-tank weapons. Guided missiles, top-attack munitions, and portable rockets are now widely...
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...
How “Full-Stack” Cities Could Reshape Modern Warfare
Advanced military systems increasingly depend on civilian technologies that scale fast, iterate quickly, and draw on dense supply chains. Drones, electric propulsion, sensors, and...
This Uncrewed Helicopter Could Hunt Submarines for Hours
Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...
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...
A New Robot Makes Explosives No Longer Stand a Chance
Explosive ordnance disposal remains one of the most dangerous missions on the modern battlefield. Even when technicians do everything right, repeated exposure to blast...
The Most Recent J-20 Upgrade Built for Drone Teams and Electronic...
Stealth fighters are no longer defined only by their shape. As air combat shifts toward longer ranges, dense electronic warfare, and mixed formations of...
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...
Why Future Autonomous Scouts Won’t Depend on GPS at All
Modern military operations increasingly take place in environments where GPS cannot be relied upon. Electronic jamming, urban terrain, dense foliage, and underground spaces can...
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...
