Unmanned surface vessels are rapidly evolving from reconnaissance platforms into armed combat systems capable of operating alongside conventional naval forces. As maritime threats become...

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

The rapid spread of inexpensive drones has created a growing challenge for air-defense systems. Traditional surface-to-air missiles can be effective against unmanned aircraft, but...

The growing use of small drones around military installations has forced defense organizations to rethink how they protect sensitive facilities. Commercially available unmanned aircraft...

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

Collecting data in the Arctic is often as challenging as the research itself. Beneath seemingly solid snow can lie hidden pools of icy water,...

Detecting objects beneath the ocean surface remains one of the most difficult challenges in maritime sensing. Water limits the effectiveness of many conventional detection...

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

Sixth-generation combat aircraft are expected to reshape future air combat by combining low observability, long-range operations, advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and close cooperation with...

Artificial intelligence is becoming an essential part of modern military systems, but deploying it in operational environments presents a challenge. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and...

As drones become increasingly common along national borders and around critical infrastructure, detecting them is only part of the challenge. Border security agencies also...

Legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years, but most advanced quadruped systems remain expensive, complex, and difficult for students, hobbyists, and researchers...

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...

Designing underwater robots that can move efficiently and adapt to changing currents remains a complex challenge. Traditional systems rely on external sensors and pre-programmed...

Small drones have become one of the fastest-growing threats on the modern battlefield. Whether used for reconnaissance, target acquisition, or carrying explosive payloads, they...

Night operations have become a standard part of modern military activity, but many frontline troops still rely on night vision technology designed more than...

Small drones have become one of the most challenging threats facing security forces in recent years. Their compact size, low-altitude flight profiles, and minimal...

Drone swarms are posing an increasing challenge to air-defense systems. Small, unmanned aircraft can be launched in large numbers, attack from multiple directions, and...

The growing number of low-flying drones, together with the emergence of more advanced platforms—including fiber-optic-guided UAVs—is creating an increasing challenge for detection and surveillance...

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

Modern electronic warfare depends on the ability to detect, identify, and analyze electromagnetic signals quickly. As military communications, radars, and sensors become more numerous...

Modern armored vehicles operate in increasingly complex environments where threats can emerge from any direction. Urban combat, drone attacks, poor weather, smoke, and nighttime...
