Survivability & Protection

Naval air defense is under growing strain. Small, low-cost drones are increasingly used to probe or saturate warships, forcing crews to rely on missiles...

Modern military operations unfold simultaneously in the air, at sea, on land, in space and in cyberspace. Yet for decades, command-and-control systems were largely...

As robots take on more complex roles in industrial environments, one challenge remains constant: ensuring safe, seamless interaction with human workers. Heavy-duty robotic arms...

The widespread use of small attack drones on the battlefield has created a constant contest between range and resilience. In recent phases of the...

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

The modern battlefield is becoming increasingly crowded and complex. Drones, sensors, cameras, radars, and weapons systems all operate simultaneously, generating enormous volumes of data....

Controlling insect-based robots has long been an area of interest for researchers looking to combine the mobility and efficiency of living organisms with the...

Explosive ordnance disposal teams, special operations units, and emergency responders often face a difficult dilemma: gaining information about a potentially dangerous area without exposing...

Operating military vehicles in mountainous terrain presents a unique engineering challenge. As altitude increases, air becomes thinner, reducing the amount of oxygen available for...

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...

Detecting extremely weak magnetic fields is useful in everything from medical imaging to industrial monitoring, but sensitivity comes with a fundamental problem: noise. As...

Following the immense success of the previous cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to...

Stealth technology is set to enter the world of ground combat. On the battlefield of the future, the widespread ability to kill tanks and...

Over the past decade, the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) has grown from a research experiment into one of the most widely used digital tools...

Modern air defenses are increasingly challenged by the growing use of unmanned aircraft, but the rapid evolution of drone swarming threatens to complicate this...

Modern combat aircraft generate enormous amounts of data, from engine health and avionics status to mission-system performance. As fleets age and platforms become more...

Modern air defenses are becoming denser, faster, and more layered, making traditional strike missions increasingly risky. Advanced surface-to-air missile systems force attacking aircraft to...

Robots are often expected to operate where wheels fail: collapsed buildings, uneven ground, mud, ice, or debris-covered floors. Yet most legged robots still struggle...

The gap between the theoretical capabilities of drones and their proven performance in the field remains a persistent challenge. According to the Drone Center...

Artificial intelligence continues to dominate global venture capital flows, but its rise is not occurring in isolation. According to recent Crunchbase data, funding growth...

Policing vast rural territories presents a persistent challenge. In regional areas, specialist air support is often based hundreds of miles away, limiting rapid aerial...

Ballistic missile defense systems rely heavily on early detection and predictable flight paths. In many cases, warning time and trajectory calculation are critical for...
