Survivability & Protection

The US Army is enhancing soldier protection, in attempt to increase soldier mobility and lethality. After several years of research and development, the Army...

Military planners are increasingly looking for alternatives to expensive missiles and large unmanned systems. The goal is to field platforms that can be produced...

Flying autonomous drones through unpredictable environments remains one of the biggest technical challenges in robotics. In confined spaces such as collapsed buildings, industrial sites,...

Modern militaries are facing a growing challenge: how to carry out dangerous missions in threat-saturated environments without risking human lives. Urban warfare, tunnel infiltration,...

Detecting biological contamination in the field can be difficult. Military personnel operating in an unfamiliar environment may need to determine whether equipment, buildings or...

The growing use of drones in both military and civilian environments is creating a new type of threat that traditional air defenses are not...

Advanced military systems increasingly depend on civilian technologies that scale fast, iterate quickly, and draw on dense supply chains. Drones, electric propulsion, sensors, and...

Stealth fighters are no longer defined only by their shape. As air combat shifts toward longer ranges, dense electronic warfare, and mixed formations of...

Drone operations are often limited by one key factor: endurance. Even advanced platforms must return to base for recharging or battery replacement, creating gaps...

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

Training helicopter pilots for wildfire missions is particularly difficult because the environment itself is constantly changing. Smoke, shifting winds, rising heat, and the interaction...

As hypersonic weapons development accelerates, one of the key challenges has been integration, meaning how to effectively deploy these large, high-speed systems from existing...

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

US drone maker teams with European disaster relief firm to help make it easier to find victims in times of need US drone maker...

Modern air campaigns face a growing mismatch between targets and available weapons. Long-range cruise missiles offer precision and survivability, but their high cost and...

Modern militaries are generating more data than ever before, but turning that data into timely battlefield advantage remains a challenge. Sensors, drones, logistics systems,...

Ballistic missile defense has become a race against both technology and inventory. As missile threats grow in number, range, and complexity, interceptor stockpiles are...

European air defenses have faced growing scrutiny in recent years, particularly as long-range ballistic missile threats become more prominent. Traditional systems in the region—largely...

Modern armored vehicles are being pushed to their limits by a changing battlefield. Infantry fighting vehicles must now deal with better-protected targets, widespread drone...

Air combat is becoming increasingly complex as threats multiply and reaction times shrink. Pilots are expected to manage dense sensor data, coordinate with multiple...

Modern warships are increasingly exposed to short-range aerial threats that traditional defenses struggle to counter efficiently. Small drones and fast, maneuverable targets can overwhelm...

Amphibious operations remain one of the more complex military challenges. Moving troops and equipment from ship to shore requires platforms that can operate reliably...
