One of the main constraints on unmanned aerial systems has always been endurance. Even large drones with long range are limited by fuel capacity,...

Modern air defenses are being pushed to their limits by faster, higher-flying, and more complex threats. Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and even...

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...

Modern technology depends on precision, yet many critical systems operate in environments filled with invisible magnetic noise. Power infrastructure, medical imaging, aerospace platforms, and...

Operating aircraft over heavily defended territory has become increasingly difficult as air-defense systems grow more capable and networked. Traditional surveillance platforms struggle to remain...

As vehicles grow more connected, their internal systems depend on a constant flow of data from sensors monitoring everything from temperature and tire pressure...

Modern aerial battlefields are becoming increasingly congested, characterized by a proliferation of small, low-cost threats that prove challenging and often uneconomical to intercept using...

Search-and-rescue teams often struggle with a basic operational challenge: disaster zones are unpredictable, unmapped, and full of obstacles that confuse traditional robotic systems. Standard...

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 ground forces face a recurring challenge: many critical tasks occur in places too dangerous or too unpredictable for soldiers to enter safely. Minefields,...

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

Marine collisions with fixed offshore structures—such as oil platforms, abandoned wellheads, and navigational hazards—remain a persistent problem for commercial operators and coastal authorities. These...

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....

Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along controlled paths, but they typically...

Modern fighter operations place growing cognitive and physical demands on pilots. High-speed engagements, dense sensor inputs, and operations at night or in poor weather...

Understanding how people build, expand, and occupy space has become a strategic priority for governments and emergency planners. Yet most global datasets still represent...

Protecting personnel from the long-term neurological effects of blast exposure has been a persistent challenge for militaries worldwide. Shock waves from heavy weapons or...

High-performance infrared imaging normally requires exotic materials or cryogenic cooling, making it too costly for widespread commercial or security use. Conventional CMOS sensors—the same...

Ground robots often struggle with one recurring problem: every terrain demands a different movement strategy. Smooth surfaces favor wheels, rubble demands crawling, and narrow...

Construction projects generate enormous amounts of changing information each day—new installations, shifting materials, evolving layouts, and emerging safety hazards. Traditionally, engineers walk every floor...

Written by Or Shalom Effective defense against threats such small, low-speed unmanned aerial systems (LSS - Low, Slow, Small), requires a multidimensional approach. Modern detection...
