Air and missile defense planners are facing a rapidly widening threat spectrum. Beyond traditional aircraft, modern forces must contend with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles,...

Modern military aircraft operate in increasingly contested airspace. Portable surface-to-air missiles, radar-guided threats, and improvised munitions pose constant risks to rotary- and fixed-wing platforms...

As missile threats grow more complex, particularly with the emergence of hypersonic weapons, traditional detection systems are struggling to keep pace. These threats travel...

Tracking submarines across vast ocean areas is one of the most resource-intensive missions in naval operations. Traditional platforms, such as crewed ships and aircraft,...

Modern warships face a growing challenge: the number of threats they must engage is increasing faster than the space available onboard. Missile launch cells,...

The rapid spread of small drones has created a new challenge for military forces. Quadcopters and other lightweight unmanned aircraft can conduct reconnaissance, direct...

The rapid spread of drones has created a new challenge for militaries: intercepting fast-moving aerial threats before they reach their targets. While many counter-drone...

Modern navigation depends heavily on satellite signals, but GPS is not always available. Signals cannot reliably penetrate underground or deep underwater and can also...

As drones become more prominently used, so does the misuse of these emerging technologies. New drone detection solution could protect military bases, venues, cities...

Clearing routes from hidden explosives and mine detection operations using the current minesweeping technology can sometimes pose risk to the soldiers. A revolutionary solution...

Body-worn video cameras are a vital asset for gathering valuable evidence during critical situations. A new technology for improved audio, image and video evidence...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking nanomaterial that could transform forensic science, particularly in the detection of latent (non-visible) fingerprints. This new technology enables high-quality...

The advancement of embedded technologies is driving a rapid growth of sensing technologies that can yield data from citywide deployments for monitoring, modeling, and...

Transferring satellite photos to decision makers in the military and commercial sectors is not immediate. “When firefighters are attacking a wildfire, they need the...

Israel has reportedly made exoatmospheric intercepts of the Iranian rockets on Sunday. Any missile intercepted outside the Kármán line (the boundary of Earth’s atmosphere,...

Researchers from the University of North Carolina used artificial muscles and electronic skins to create advanced soft robots that are incredibly effective and safe...

As autonomous vehicles continue to evolve, ensuring their safety in low-visibility conditions has become increasingly critical. A team from Fraunhofer IOF is addressing this...

In a significant step toward modernizing battlefield intelligence, the U.S. Army is deploying miniature drones designed to support soldiers with immediate, on-the-ground situational awareness....

Modern ground forces face a growing requirement for armored vehicles that can survive sophisticated threats, integrate advanced sensors, and deliver sustained firepower in shifting...

Robots are increasingly deployed in environments that are unsafe or inaccessible for humans, from collapsed buildings and underground tunnels to industrial sites and disaster...

Airspace security has reached a frustrating paradox. Drones are easier than ever to detect, yet safely stopping them remains a persistent challenge. Airports across...

Modern naval operations are increasingly shaped by uncertainty. Fleets must operate across wide areas, integrate manned and unmanned platforms, and function under conditions where...
