Drones

The rapid growth of battlefield drones has forced militaries to rethink short-range air defense. Small, unmanned aircraft are inexpensive, widely available, and increasingly capable...

One of the greatest challenges facing modern air defense is no longer the single drone, but swarms of dozens or even hundreds of unmanned...

The rapid spread of small drones has created a growing challenge for air-defense forces. Many of the drones now used for reconnaissance, targeting, and...

Small drones have become one of the most difficult threats for infantry units to counter. Their speed, size, and maneuverability make them challenging targets...

Modern drone operations increasingly face a common challenge: GPS cannot always be trusted. Electronic warfare systems, signal interference, and environmental factors can degrade navigation...

The growing use of drones is creating new security challenges far beyond traditional battlefields. Ports, shipping lanes, offshore platforms, and commercial vessels are increasingly...

Modern military systems are becoming increasingly software-driven and interconnected. Sensors, drones, command-and-control platforms, electronic warfare systems, and weapons must all work together across air,...

The rapid proliferation of drones has created a new challenge for military forces and critical infrastructure operators. Modern threats range from small commercial quadcopters...

Air forces around the world are increasingly looking for ways to expand combat capability without placing additional pilots in harm’s way. Modern fighter aircraft...

Military planners are increasingly looking for alternatives to expensive missiles and large unmanned systems. The goal is to field platforms that can be produced...

The unmanned systems market continues to expand, but alongside developing new platforms, manufacturers must also overcome challenges related to financing, production, and international market...

When someone falls overboard, time becomes the most critical factor in survival. Ships traveling at speed require time to stop, launch rescue craft, and...

Modern combat increasingly depends on the rapid movement of information between units. Drones, helicopters, artillery systems, and ground troops all generate large amounts of...

The growing variety of drone threats is creating a new challenge for air-defense operators. Modern battlefields can include everything from commercial quadcopters and first-person-view...

First-person-view (FPV) drones have become increasingly important for reconnaissance and strike missions, but controlling them often requires bulky ground equipment. Traditional ground control stations...

The drone threat continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Explosive drones and loitering munitions have become some of the most significant threats facing...

Building small flying robots that move like insects has long been a challenge for engineers. Flapping-wing systems are highly agile and energy efficient, but...

Modern electronic warfare increasingly revolves around one challenge: finding signals that are designed not to be found. Advanced radar systems now use low-probability-of-intercept waveforms,...

Modern infantry units are carrying more equipment than ever before. Alongside weapons and ammunition, soldiers now operate radios, batteries, sensors, protective gear, and targeting...

Frontline units often face a simple limitation: access to real-time aerial intelligence. In many cases, smaller formations must rely on higher command to allocate...

Coordinating large groups of robots usually requires complex software, wireless communication, and centralized control systems. But these approaches can become fragile in unpredictable environments...

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