New Way to Track Dangerous Materials From the Air
Locating radioactive material quickly is one of the most difficult challenges facing emergency and security services. Hazardous sources can be extremely small, mobile, and...
The Push to Build Interceptors Faster Than Missiles
Ballistic missile defense has become a race against both technology and inventory. As missile threats grow in number, range, and complexity, interceptor stockpiles are...
The Digital Backbone of Tomorrow’s Battles
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...
The Swarm Defense Drone That Fires No Missile
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...
Reinventing Missile Defense for a Changing Threat Landscape
For more than two decades, homeland missile defense has relied on an interceptor architecture originally fielded in the early 2000s. That system was designed...
The Tech Keeping Military Aircraft One Step Ahead of Missiles
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...
The App That Turns Drone Chaos into Command and Control
As drone warfare scales up, one problem has become increasingly acute: volume without coordination. When thousands of unmanned systems are launched daily across a...
The Airborne Interceptor Built for Persistent Threats
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...
The Border That Watches Its Back
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...
When GPS Goes Dark, This Drone Keeps Flying
Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...
Iron Dome Set the Standard, but Now Others Are Building Their...
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...
The Counter-UAS Platform That Connects Everything in Real Time
The rapid spread of unmanned aerial systems has made airspace security more complex for military forces and critical facilities. Small drones are increasingly capable,...
An Air Defense Deal Marks Another Step in Israel’s Defense Exports
As aerial threats become more diverse and harder to detect, many countries are reassessing how well their air defenses can cope with modern risks....
A New Mine-Clearing System That Turns Dangerous Ground Into Passable Terrain
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...
A Drone Just Proved It Can Outshoot a Jet
One of the biggest challenges in modern air combat is detecting, tracking, and engaging fast-moving aerial targets at long distances. Traditionally, only crewed fighter...
How AI Could Make Urban Driving Safer
Cities generate enormous amounts of traffic video every day, yet only a fraction of it is ever reviewed. For transportation agencies, the challenge isn’t...
Self-Charging Humanoids Step in for Border Duty
Border checkpoints are under increasing pressure to manage rising traveller volumes, evolving security demands, and labor-intensive inspection routines. Many of these sites operate around...
Europe Strengthens Its Sky Shield with a Not-So-New Interceptor System
European air defenses have faced growing scrutiny in recent years, particularly as long-range ballistic missile threats become more prominent. Traditional systems in the region—largely...
Aerial Cat-and-Mouse: Interceptors Race Against High-Speed Drones
Ukraine has faced a growing challenge as Russia introduces faster, more resilient loitering munitions designed to overwhelm conventional air defenses. The latest threat, the...
Turning Light into Defense: Laser Shield Nears Deployment
Modern air-defense systems face a growing challenge: the number of incoming threats is rising, and so is the cost of intercepting them. Rockets, drones,...
