Locating radioactive material quickly is one of the most difficult challenges facing emergency and security services. Hazardous sources can be extremely small, mobile, and...

Ballistic missile defense has become a race against both technology and inventory. As missile threats grow in number, range, and complexity, interceptor stockpiles are...

Modern military operations unfold simultaneously in the air, at sea, on land, in space and in cyberspace. Yet for decades, command-and-control systems were largely...

Low-cost drone swarms have exposed a growing imbalance in modern air defense. Small, unmanned aircraft can cost only a few thousand dollars and be...

For more than two decades, homeland missile defense has relied on an interceptor architecture originally fielded in the early 2000s. That system was designed...

Modern military aircraft operate in increasingly contested airspace. Portable surface-to-air missiles, radar-guided threats, and improvised munitions pose constant risks to rotary- and fixed-wing platforms...

As drone warfare scales up, one problem has become increasingly acute: volume without coordination. When thousands of unmanned systems are launched daily across a...

Countering long-range attack drones has become a persistent challenge for air defense planners. Low-cost, long-endurance UAVs can loiter for hours and strike far from...

Modern borders are increasingly difficult to defend with traditional means alone. Fast-moving ground forces, low-flying drones, cyber interference, and long-range missiles compress reaction times...

Modern battlefields are shaped as much by the electromagnetic spectrum as by physical terrain. Communications, sensors, navigation signals, and targeting systems all depend on...

Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...

Modern military operations rely heavily on understanding and shaping the electromagnetic environment. Radar emissions, jamming signals, and electronic intelligence streams can shift rapidly, leaving...

For much of the post–Cold War period, the United Kingdom invested relatively little in homeland air and missile defense. Long-range ballistic threats were seen...

Power transmission lines stretch across forests, farmland, and mountainous terrain, where they face constant exposure to heat, vegetation growth, and shifting weather patterns. These...

Monitoring vessel movements has become far more difficult in recent years. Ships involved in sanctions evasion, smuggling, or illicit transfers frequently disable their Automatic...

Modern military operations depend on uninterrupted communication and rapid data sharing, yet many battlefields are anything but cooperative. Urban density, electronic warfare, and natural...

The rapid spread of unmanned aerial systems has made airspace security more complex for military forces and critical facilities. Small drones are increasingly capable,...

Modern FPV drones have proven valuable for reconnaissance and precision attack roles, but their dependence on radio links has become an increasingly serious limitation....

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

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

Minefields remain one of the most time-consuming and dangerous obstacles for ground forces. Traditional breaching tools—mechanical rollers, plows, and manual clearing—can take hours, require...
