Maritime surveillance often requires both surface vessels and aerial drones to maintain awareness over large areas. While drones provide a much wider field of...

Robots designed for industrial inspection or emergency response often face a tradeoff. Wheeled platforms can move quickly and efficiently over long distances but struggle...

Robots are increasingly being used for inspections, emergency response, and field operations in locations that are difficult or dangerous for people to reach. However,...

The rapid spread of drones has created a new challenge for militaries: intercepting fast-moving aerial threats before they reach their targets. While many counter-drone...

Identifying people from a distance has long been a challenge for security systems. Facial recognition often requires high-resolution images and unobstructed views, while clothing,...

As autonomous technologies continue to mature, air forces are increasingly exploring how much of a combat aircraft's workload can be transferred from the pilot...

Most robots rely heavily on cameras and external tracking systems to understand their surroundings and control movement. But in cluttered, dark, or visually degraded...

Countering small drones does not always require shooting them down. In many situations, denying a drone the ability to see its target is enough...

Modern surveillance systems collect enormous amounts of visual information, but turning that data into actionable intelligence remains a challenge. Operators monitoring borders, military bases,...

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

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

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...

Firefighters frequently operate in environments where collapsing structures, intense heat, toxic smoke, and rapidly changing conditions pose significant risks. Entering these areas to extinguish...

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...

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

The rapid spread of small drones has created a new challenge for military forces. Quadcopters and other lightweight unmanned aircraft can conduct reconnaissance, direct...

Explosive ordnance disposal teams, special operations units, and emergency responders often face a difficult dilemma: gaining information about a potentially dangerous area without exposing...

Maintaining large electrical grids is a difficult and often dangerous task. Power lines stretch across vast distances, pass through hard-to-reach terrain, and require regular...

Smartphone LiDAR sensors have become common in high-end devices, mainly supporting augmented reality features and depth sensing for photography. But despite their growing capabilities,...

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

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...

Modern soldiers increasingly operate with multiple connected devices at once, such as radios, sensors, cameras, navigation systems, hearing protection, and digital battlefield applications. While...
