Unmanned Systems

The rapid spread of small, inexpensive drones has created a growing challenge for security forces and militaries alike. What were once isolated aerial threats...

Forget the battlefields of old. A silent, rapid transformation is underway, fundamentally altering the calculus of conflict and ushering in an era where speed,...

Microrobots — machines smaller than a grain of sand — hold enormous promise for tasks that require precision at scales where conventional tools cannot...

As aerial threats become more diverse and harder to detect, many countries are reassessing how well their air defenses can cope with modern risks....

Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along controlled paths, but they typically...

Border surveillance and wide-area monitoring often require small unmanned aircraft that can stay airborne for extended periods, carry multiple sensor types, and operate reliably...

Frontline units and emergency responders increasingly rely on unmanned systems, yet most commercially available cargo drones still fall short of operational needs. Typical platforms...

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...

Ground robots often struggle with one recurring problem: every terrain demands a different movement strategy. Smooth surfaces favor wheels, rubble demands crawling, and narrow...

Construction projects generate enormous amounts of changing information each day—new installations, shifting materials, evolving layouts, and emerging safety hazards. Traditionally, engineers walk every floor...

Modern naval forces face a persistent challenge: how to monitor vast stretches of ocean without relying on crewed submarines or costly patrol cycles. Underwater...

Written by Or Shalom Effective defense against threats such small, low-speed unmanned aerial systems (LSS - Low, Slow, Small), requires a multidimensional approach. Modern detection...

Modern air defenses are increasingly challenged by the growing use of unmanned aircraft, but the rapid evolution of drone swarming threatens to complicate this...

Critical undersea cables and energy pipelines have become increasingly attractive targets for adversaries, particularly as naval competition intensifies in the North Atlantic. Recent Russian...

As short-range air-defense systems improve, many unmanned aircraft are being intercepted long before they reach their targets. Slow propeller-driven drones, even in large numbers,...

Launching and retrieving drones normally requires a stationary platform, clear airspace, and operators with line-of-sight control. These constraints limit how quickly drones can be...

Israel’s security landscape has increasingly depended on rapid technological adaptation, but until recently, defense-focused startups struggled to attract significant investment. The year 2025 marks...

Border checkpoints are under increasing pressure to manage rising traveller volumes, evolving security demands, and labor-intensive inspection routines. Many of these sites operate around...

As drones become cheaper, smaller, and easier to modify, security teams face a growing challenge: many threats do not appear in the sky—they arrive...

Long-endurance unmanned aircraft have traditionally faced the same limits: batteries restrict range, combustion engines add noise and heat, and payload capacity often forces trade-offs...

As high-power lasers move from experimental concepts to practical counter-drone tools, one technical bottleneck continues to slow progress: power. Directed-energy systems require fast, intense...
