Survivability & Protection

The effective coordination of numerous unmanned aerial vehicles presents a significant logistical and operational challenge. Traditional models, where a single operator controls one or...

Modern warfare presents extreme risks to soldiers conducting reconnaissance and direct action missions. Operating in complex, contested environments exposes personnel to constant threats, making...

The central challenge on the modern battlefield is transitioning from small-scale experiments to the operational deployment of autonomous systems in mass quantities. While many...

Long-range unmanned strike systems are reshaping how smaller forces think about reach and deterrence. Until recently, extended-range attack drones were largely the domain of...

Robots are increasingly deployed in environments that are unsafe or inaccessible for humans, from collapsed buildings and underground tunnels to industrial sites and disaster...

European air forces are facing a growing capability gap at the lower end of the combat aviation spectrum. Many light multirole and trainer-based attack...

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...

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...

Firefighters face some of the most hostile operating conditions of any emergency service. Thick smoke blocks vision, heat degrades sensors, and GPS signals are...

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

One of the main limits on unmanned aircraft operations is endurance. Even the most efficient drones eventually have to land or return to base...

Aircraft availability in forward areas often comes down to one limiting factor: fuel. In expeditionary environments, helicopters and transport aircraft are frequently forced to...

For modern land forces, armored vehicles are meant to provide mobility, protection, and situational awareness without placing crews at unnecessary risk. When a platform...

Organizations are increasingly expected to share data across corporate boundaries, yet cybersecurity risks have never been higher. As partnerships, mergers, and joint technology projects...

Naval mines continue to pose a disproportionate threat to modern fleets. Relatively cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can deny access to...

Finnish startup Distance Technologies has unveiled its Field Operator HUD (FOH), an innovative augmented reality (AR) system for combat vehicles. The system, which has...

Modern armored warfare is being reshaped by the rapid spread of advanced anti-tank weapons. Guided missiles, top-attack munitions, and portable rockets are now widely...

Airborne early warning remains one of the most difficult capabilities to replace. Modern air combat depends on long-range detection, tracking, and battle management, yet...

Modern combat aircraft face a steadily evolving threat environment. Radar-guided missiles launched from both air and ground platforms are becoming faster, smarter, and better...

Moving extremely heavy military payloads has always involved trade-offs. Conventional missile launch vehicles rely on large diesel engines, rigid axles, and complex mechanical linkages....

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

Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...
