Survivability & Protection

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...

Modern military operations generate enormous amounts of information. Intelligence, logistics, fires, maneuver, protection, and communications all need to be coordinated across multiple units, often...

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...

Traditional robots are typically built around rigid frames, motors, gears, and joints. While this design works well in structured environments, it becomes less effective...

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

Written By Or Shalom Over the past decade—and particularly in recent years—the lower airspace domain has evolved from a regulatory gray area into one of...

Amphibious assaults are among the most dangerous military operations. Landing forces on a hostile shoreline typically exposes troops to artillery, machine-gun fire, mines and...

Small autonomous drones have enormous potential for inspecting tunnels, warehouses, industrial facilities, and disaster zones. However, one limitation continues to hold them back: creating...

Small drones have become one of the most difficult threats on the modern battlefield. Unlike larger aircraft, they are small, fast, and highly maneuverable,...

For any country that relies on ballistic missiles as part of its military strategy, launching them is only half the challenge. The other half...

The autonomous vehicle industry has advanced more slowly than many sensor companies anticipated when they built their business strategies over the past decade. As...

Artillery remains one of the most decisive tools on the battlefield, but modern military operations are demanding more than range and firepower alone. Today's...

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

Small unmanned aerial systems have become one of the most persistent threats on modern battlefields. Commercially derived drones are now widely used for reconnaissance,...

Access to safe drinking water remains a challenge for billions of people worldwide, particularly during natural disasters and in regions with limited infrastructure. Traditional...

The rapid rise of small drones has created a difficult challenge for air-defense planners. Commercial quadcopters and other low-cost unmanned aircraft can be deployed...
