Modern military and civilian systems depend heavily on precise timing. GPS satellites do far more than provide location - they also distribute highly accurate...

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...

One of the biggest challenges facing modern military reconnaissance is persistence. Small drones provide valuable situational awareness, but they are limited by battery life,...

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...
