Survivability & Protection

One of the biggest challenges facing modern air defense is no longer just stopping incoming threats, it's doing so at a sustainable cost. Militaries...

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

Small drones have become a difficult target for infantry. They can approach quickly, change direction and present a much smaller target than a conventional...

Researchers have developed a new approach to robotic mapping that could help autonomous systems operate in unstable or cluttered environments, such as collapsed buildings...

Critical undersea cables and energy pipelines have become increasingly attractive targets for adversaries, particularly as naval competition intensifies in the North Atlantic. Recent Russian...

Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear hazards remain among the most dangerous threats soldiers can face. Detecting and responding to these risks is often slow,...

Fires move fast, and in smoke-filled homes visibility drops to near zero within minutes. Firefighters entering these environments are trained to search for people...

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 aircraft designers have long faced a hard tradeoff. Flying-wing bombers offer excellent range, efficiency, and low radar visibility, but they pay a price...

Severe bleeding remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma situations. On the battlefield, at accident scenes, or during natural disasters,...

Modern ground forces face a growing energy dilemma. Unmanned systems, sensors and electronic payloads demand increasing amounts of onboard power, while conventional diesel engines...

Modern power grids are no longer purely physical systems. They rely on tightly integrated digital networks to manage electricity flow, monitor infrastructure and coordinate...

Measuring impact usually requires sensors, wiring, and data systems that add complexity, weight, and cost. In many cases, such as monitoring structural stress, tracking...

Modern air defense systems are becoming increasingly dense and sophisticated, making it harder for conventional aircraft to operate inside contested airspace. Long-range missiles offer...

As 5G networks continue expanding into critical infrastructure, autonomous systems, and industrial environments, the demands on network security are increasing rapidly. High-speed connectivity and...

Modern fighter pilots are expected to do far more than fly and engage targets. They must process sensor data, manage electronic warfare systems, coordinate...

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

One of the greatest challenges facing modern air defense is no longer the single drone, but swarms of dozens or even hundreds of unmanned...

Modern militaries are fielding an increasingly diverse range of unmanned systems, from interceptor missiles and one-way attack drones to robotic ground vehicles. While these...

Small commercial drones are increasingly becoming a security problem for military forces and critical facilities. Detecting an unauthorized UAV is only part of the...

Innovations and developments found in aerospace and defense often trickle down to the commercial market as products and new capabilities for big data and...

Modern battlefields are shaped as much by the electromagnetic spectrum as by physical terrain. Communications, sensors, navigation signals, and targeting systems all depend on...
