Survivability & Protection

Clearing naval mines remains one of the most dangerous and time-consuming tasks at sea. Mines can sit on the seabed for decades, threatening shipping...

Moving heavy cargo by air without runways remains a major bottleneck for emergency response, logistics, and military operations. Helicopters can do the job, but...

Coordinating multiple drones and ground robots during a complex mission is rarely simple. Operators must manage sensor feeds, assign roles, deconflict movement paths and...

Thermal cameras are widely used in drones and autonomous vehicles to detect obstacles in low-visibility conditions such as darkness, smoke or fog. By sensing...

Modern combat environments are placing increasing pressure on response time. Small drone threats can appear with little warning, leaving operators with only seconds to...

Drone threats at sea are becoming more frequent and harder to manage. Small, low-cost UAVs can be launched in large numbers, forcing naval forces...

As unmanned systems expand across air and land domains, underwater autonomy is becoming an increasingly important area of military development. Traditional submarines remain highly...

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...

Protecting borders, critical infrastructure, and transportation corridors is becoming increasingly challenging as the number of threats and users operating within these environments continues to...

Countering small drones does not always require shooting them down. In many situations, denying a drone the ability to see its target is enough...

Resupplying personnel in remote or contested areas is one of the most difficult challenges in military and emergency operations. Landing a drone to deliver...

Future air operations are expected to rely increasingly on uncrewed aircraft working alongside fighter jets, but making that concept practical requires more than simply...

Ukraine has faced a growing challenge as Russia introduces faster, more resilient loitering munitions designed to overwhelm conventional air defenses. The latest threat, the...

The rapid spread of small, inexpensive drones has created a growing challenge for security forces and militaries alike. What were once isolated aerial threats...

Modern battlefields are increasingly shaped by small, fast, and expendable aerial systems. Forces operating under constant surveillance and electronic warfare pressure need tools that...

Cybersecurity leaders are heading into 2026 facing a problem that is both familiar and fundamentally changed. The attack surface keeps expanding as organizations adopt...

Operating after dark remains one of the most demanding conditions for soldiers and security forces. Night-vision equipment is essential, yet it is often expensive,...

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

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...

Modern air operations increasingly depend on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar, communications links, targeting networks and drone control systems all rely on uninterrupted access to...

Robotic systems designed for remote or extreme environments face a consistent limitation: power. Movement alone can consume a significant portion of a robot’s energy,...

The growing use of small, low-cost drones is creating new challenges for air defense systems. Many of these platforms are difficult to detect using...
