Unmanned Systems

Frankenburg Technologies, an Estonian defense firm, is preparing to test its latest innovation in air defense – the Mark 1 anti-aircraft missile. Slated for...

General Atomics has achieved a significant milestone in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) technology with the successful integration of the Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER)...

Ukraine has introduced a next-generation drone platform that integrates artificial intelligence and advanced navigation to strike targets without relying on GPS—marking a major milestone...

By: Or Shalom The DSEI London 2025 exhibition, which took place on September 9–12 at the ExCeL Centre in London, is the flagship event for...

Autonomous aircraft face a persistent limitation: electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles are typically constrained by battery capacity, limiting their payload and range....

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...

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...

Modern air defenses are becoming denser, faster, and more layered, making traditional strike missions increasingly risky. Advanced surface-to-air missile systems force attacking aircraft to...

Robots have long struggled outside carefully controlled environments. While factory automation excels at repetitive, predefined tasks, even small changes in lighting, object position, or...

Modern battlefields increasingly depend on wireless connectivity. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and ground units all rely on radio-frequency signals for navigation, communication, and coordination. Yet...

Conventional robots rely on motors, batteries and processors to move and react. While effective, these components add weight, complexity and potential points of failure...

Robots are increasingly expected to operate in confined and complex environments, from industrial machinery to medical procedures inside the human body. Traditional robotic arms,...

Unmanned ground vehicles are increasingly used to reduce risk to personnel in complex environments, but they face a persistent weakness: exposure to small, hard-to-detect...

Flying autonomous drones through unpredictable environments remains one of the biggest technical challenges in robotics. In confined spaces such as collapsed buildings, industrial sites,...

The rapid rise of small drones has created a difficult challenge for air-defense planners. Commercial quadcopters and other low-cost unmanned aircraft can be deployed...

Building temporary infrastructure on water is often slow, expensive and labor-intensive. Whether the goal is creating a floating bridge after a natural disaster, deploying...

Inspecting pipelines, power lines and transportation corridors presents a difficult logistical problem. These assets can stretch for hundreds of kilometers through remote terrain, making...

China, the world’s main distributor of armed drones, is increasingly popular among Middle Eastern countries locked-out of purchasing American-made drones. With increasing degree of...

The Applied Aviation Research Center of the Kansas State University is working with law enforcement partners to evaluate small unmanned aircraft remote sensing technologies...
