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...

Small drones are no longer a niche threat. From improvised FPV strike platforms to loitering munitions and coordinated swarms, unmanned aircraft are exploiting gaps...

Small units operating at the edge of the battlefield often face a familiar problem: they need precision strike capability, but traditional close air support...

Small drones and mobile robots increasingly operate in tight, cluttered environments where awareness must be both wide and fast. Conventional camera systems can capture...

Small tactical drones have become essential tools on the modern battlefield, but they often come with trade-offs. Many systems are either too expensive to...

The growing use of small drones is creating a new operational burden: countering them often requires trained specialists, dedicated equipment, and time-consuming setup. In...

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,...

Modern drone operations increasingly face a common challenge: GPS cannot always be trusted. Electronic warfare systems, signal interference, and environmental factors can degrade navigation...

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

Flying autonomously through complex environments requires more than knowing where a drone is. The aircraft must continuously understand what surrounds it, distinguish open routes...

The growing prevalence of drones in the market, their low cost and high availability have all made them a potential threat to privacy and...

Swiss academic institutions maintain special relations with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), participating in various projects funded by this American agency....

At this year’s Airshow China in Zhuhai, China South Industries Group Corporation (CSGC) unveiled its latest development in unmanned combat technology: a series of...

Commercial shipping, tourism and cruise ship traffic to the Norwegian northern archipelago of Svalbard and the surrounding marine areas have all grown dramatically in...

The US Defense Department has been unable to find a root cause for pilots experiencing hypoxia-like symptoms, including disorientation, shortness of breath, confusion and...

Within just 22.5 hours, the US Air Force managed to design, assemble, and deploy six 3D-printed autonomous drones. The innovative method was developed by the...

INNOFENSE Call for startups – Dual Use Technologies: Following the immense success of the previous four cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS...

We are pleased to announce the launch of the fifth cycle of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center. The six selected projects were selected among hundreds...

A new strategic partnership between BAE Systems and Hanwha Systems is set to accelerate the development of advanced satellite-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR)...

Securing large installations at night remains one of the most persistent challenges for defense and critical-infrastructure operators. Traditional low-light cameras often struggle with grainy...

Robots have steadily become smaller, cheaper, and more capable—but until now, true autonomy stopped at around the millimeter scale. Below that threshold, conventional designs...

Robots are often expected to operate where wheels fail: collapsed buildings, uneven ground, mud, ice, or debris-covered floors. Yet most legged robots still struggle...
