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...

One of the biggest obstacles to deploying very small autonomous robots is navigation. As machines shrink, the hardware required to determine position and direction...

Thermal imaging cameras are increasingly used in security, industrial inspection, automotive safety and emergency response. Yet one component has remained a persistent cost driver:...

The push toward more sustainable drone designs has introduced a less obvious technical challenge: materials matter. While bamboo offers clear advantages as a lightweight,...

Modern stealth aircraft are designed around one key principle: avoiding detection for as long as possible. But carrying large external weapons can undermine that...

Optical satellites provide valuable imagery from orbit, but they have a well-known limitation: they depend on visibility. Clouds, storms, smoke, darkness, and atmospheric conditions...

For decades, combat aircraft programs have largely followed the same model: highly complex manned platforms developed over long timelines by a small group of...

Modern anti-ship missiles are becoming increasingly difficult to defeat. Equipped with radar, infrared, laser or electro-optical seekers, many can identify and track their targets...

Protecting a major port from drones presents an increasingly difficult security problem. Maritime facilities cover large areas and contain ships, fuel infrastructure and other...

A new model of a target drone will support military training. Following comprehensive testing, Leonardo’s new Mirach-40 (M-40) target drone has been authorized for...

Video Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning is now being used to help schools across the U.S. rapidly and cost-effectively enhance safety and security...

France is advancing its Operational Pocket Drone (DrOP) program. The French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA) has awarded FLIR Systems with a $89 million contract...

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...

New cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) is intended to result in advanced AI systems in unmanned surface vehicles (UUVs). The goal:...

Attend the seventh Conference and Exhibition on Unmanned Systems and Robotics - AUS&R 2019. Register! Representatives from government, leading defense industries, military, security forces and law...

A known and existing method of non-invasive health monitoring is through our sweat, which contains biomarkers that can detect various health conditions from diabetes...

iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to join the fifth cycle of INNOFENSE and receive a remarkable opportunity to showcase your technology...

The United States Army is actively exploring ways to enhance its aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities through the integration of unmanned aerial...

The U.S. Navy has completed a series of live maritime trials for the AN/SPY-6(V)4 radar system from Raytheon, confirming its ability to track both...

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...
