Unmanned Systems

The growing use of small drones around military installations has forced defense organizations to rethink how they protect sensitive facilities. Commercially available unmanned aircraft...

Protecting military bases from small drones has become increasingly difficult. Commercially available unmanned aircraft are becoming more capable, flying farther, carrying larger payloads and...

Collecting data in the Arctic is often as challenging as the research itself. Beneath seemingly solid snow can lie hidden pools of icy water,...

Apco Aviation Defense is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to...

Electronic warfare has become one of the defining features of modern conflict. Jamming systems can disrupt satellite navigation, interfere with communications, and reduce the...

Keeping frontline units supplied has always been one of the most dangerous tasks in military operations. Vehicles carrying ammunition, equipment, and spare parts often...

High-energy laser weapons are steadily moving from development programs into operational military service, but maintaining them in the field remains a significant challenge. One...

One of the biggest challenges facing autonomous vehicles and robotic vision systems is adapting to rapidly changing lighting conditions. Cameras that perform well during...

Sixth-generation combat aircraft are expected to reshape future air combat by combining low observability, long-range operations, advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and close cooperation with...

As drones become increasingly common along national borders and around critical infrastructure, detecting them is only part of the challenge. Border security agencies also...

Legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years, but most advanced quadruped systems remain expensive, complex, and difficult for students, hobbyists, and researchers...

This week, another workshop was held as part of the INNOFENSE program, the innovation center operated by iHLS in collaboration with Israel’s Ministry of...

Designing underwater robots that can move efficiently and adapt to changing currents remains a complex challenge. Traditional systems rely on external sensors and pre-programmed...

Small drones have become one of the fastest-growing threats on the modern battlefield. Whether used for reconnaissance, target acquisition, or carrying explosive payloads, they...

Small drones have become one of the most challenging threats facing security forces in recent years. Their compact size, low-altitude flight profiles, and minimal...

Drone swarms are posing an increasing challenge to air-defense systems. Small, unmanned aircraft can be launched in large numbers, attack from multiple directions, and...

The growing number of low-flying drones, together with the emergence of more advanced platforms—including fiber-optic-guided UAVs—is creating an increasing challenge for detection and surveillance...

Traditional robots are typically built around rigid frames, motors, gears, and joints. While this design works well in structured environments, it becomes less effective...

Written By Or Shalom Over the past decade—and particularly in recent years—the lower airspace domain has evolved from a regulatory gray area into one of...

Amphibious assaults are among the most dangerous military operations. Landing forces on a hostile shoreline typically exposes troops to artillery, machine-gun fire, mines and...

Small autonomous drones have enormous potential for inspecting tunnels, warehouses, industrial facilities, and disaster zones. However, one limitation continues to hold them back: creating...

Small drones have become one of the most difficult threats on the modern battlefield. Unlike larger aircraft, they are small, fast, and highly maneuverable,...
