Drones

Autonomous drones can move quickly in open air, but cluttered environments are much harder. Buildings, trees, narrow passages and other obstacles leave little room...

Small drones have created an uncomfortable economic problem for air defense. An inexpensive UAV may cost only hundreds or a few thousand dollars, yet...

As more drones share the same airspace, keeping them connected becomes increasingly difficult. Unmanned aircraft may need to exchange high-resolution video, sensor information and...

Building on the achievements of previous INNOFENSE cycles, iHLS, the Ministry of Defense and MAFAT are inviting startups to apply for the program’s seventh...

Detecting a drone is becoming more difficult as unmanned aircraft become increasingly autonomous. Many counter-UAS systems look for radio signals exchanged between a drone...

Small drones approaching ships, ports and coastal installations create a difficult defensive problem. They can fly low, arrive in numbers and cost far less...

Computer vision can help a drone recognize that it is looking at a vehicle, building or person, but recognition is not the same as...

Previous INNOFENSE cycles have helped innovative technologies make the leap from civilian development to defense applications. Now, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense are...

Military forces are rapidly adding drones and robotic systems, but operating them as separate platforms creates a growing coordination problem. One aircraft may collect...

Electronic warfare equipment can help aircraft detect hostile emitters, recognize threats and protect themselves from electronic attack. The problem is that traditional EW systems...

Finding a submarine beneath the ocean is one of the more difficult surveillance tasks in modern warfare. Sonar and sonobuoys can listen for underwater...

As armed forces deploy growing numbers of unmanned aircraft, managing them efficiently is becoming as important as the drones themselves. Controlling each aircraft individually...

Building on the success of previous cycles and the progress of participating technologies within the defense sector, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite...

Written By Or Shalom The DroneX 2026 exhibition at ExCeL London marks a clear turning point in the evolution of unmanned systems and airspace defense...

Following the achievements of previous cycles, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense are opening applications for the seventh cycle of INNOFENSE. The program offers...

As organizations deploy more robots, a new problem emerges: each machine can come with its own controls, software and mission-planning tools. An operator working...

Modern warships can carry sophisticated air defenses, but inexpensive drones have created a difficult problem at the opposite end of the engagement range. FPV...

If your startup applies to one of the following subjects, consider submitting your applications for INNOFENSE’s seventh cycle until October 15th, 2026: Early, remote...

Detecting unauthorized drones around airports, power plants, stadiums and other sensitive locations usually requires dedicated radars, radio-frequency sensors or cameras. Deploying enough of those...

Small drones have created an awkward problem for ground forces. They can be inexpensive, difficult to spot and deployed repeatedly, while intercepting them with...

iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to join the seventh cycle of INNOFENSE and receive a remarkable opportunity to showcase your technology...

Small, unmanned boats are increasingly being used for surveillance, logistics and other maritime missions, but their usefulness has traditionally ended at the water's surface....
