Survivability & Protection

Naval mines remain a quiet but persistent danger. Cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can block ports, restrict maneuver, and threaten both...

The Pentagon is accelerating its push into military artificial intelligence by integrating Grok, the generative AI model developed by xAI, into its secure digital...

Humanoid robots are often promoted as versatile helpers, but in real-world conditions they remain constrained by rigid frames and limited mobility. Tight spaces, uneven...

Carrier-based air operations are increasingly constrained by range. As strike aircraft become more capable and missions push farther from the carrier, a growing share...

Maintaining armored vehicles is often as demanding as operating them. Tank engines are packed with sensors, wiring, fuel lines, and mechanical components layered in...

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operate in an environment that is constantly shifting. Sudden currents, turbulence and pressure changes can destabilize rigid wings and control...

Exposure to blast waves during training or operations poses a well-documented risk to brain health. Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) can develop even without...

Urban air mobility has long faced a technical hurdle: combining vertical takeoff with efficient forward flight in a single, reliable platform. While helicopters can...

Detecting hypersonic missiles remains one of the most difficult challenges in modern air defense. Traveling at speeds above Mach 5, these weapons generate extreme...

Coordinating large groups of robots usually requires complex software, wireless communication, and centralized control systems. But these approaches can become fragile in unpredictable environments...

Modern drone operations increasingly face a common challenge: GPS cannot always be trusted. Electronic warfare systems, signal interference, and environmental factors can degrade navigation...

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...

On November 9 and 10, the US Marine Corps achieved a historic milestone, launching the Marines' first combat air strikes using the F-35C Lightning...

Organizations responsible for logistics, infrastructure, and critical facilities are increasingly required to inspect, map, and monitor enormous areas — sometimes hazardous or inaccessible —...

As unmanned systems become more common, the challenge is no longer just flying a drone, but managing many of them at once. In current...

Modern naval forces face a difficult equation at sea. Warships are expected to operate closer to contested coastlines, where radar clutter, civilian traffic, 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...

A growing need on the modern battlefield is to deploy vast numbers of low-cost, autonomous systems rather than relying on expensive, manned platforms. This...

Autonomous robots still struggle with a basic problem that animals solve effortlessly: how to keep moving when conditions suddenly change. Uneven terrain, loss of...

AI defense startups investment review

As military operations become increasingly digital, managing large volumes of data and applications across distributed systems has become a core challenge. Defense organizations rely...

Robots are increasingly expected to operate in confined and complex environments, from industrial machinery to medical procedures inside the human body. Traditional robotic arms,...
