Measuring impact usually requires sensors, wiring, and data systems that add complexity, weight, and cost. In many cases, such as monitoring structural stress, tracking...
A Plug-and-Play Laser Defense for Modern Threats
Drone threats at sea are becoming more frequent and harder to manage. Small, low-cost UAVs can be launched in large numbers, forcing naval forces...
The Push to Stop Drones With Beams Instead of Missiles
The growing use of small drones is forcing a rethink in short-range air defense. Commercial quadcopters and improvised FPV systems are inexpensive, easy to...
OpenAI: The Race Is On to Use AI for Defense Before...
As AI systems become more capable at writing and analyzing code, cybersecurity teams are facing a new reality: the same tools that can help...
A New Layered Defense for Evolving Torpedo Threats
Undersea threats are becoming harder to counter. Modern torpedoes are faster, quieter, and more capable of adjusting their course mid-run, leaving ships with very...
A Smarter Way to Control Flexible Robots in Tight Spaces
Robots are increasingly expected to operate in confined and complex environments, from industrial machinery to medical procedures inside the human body. Traditional robotic arms,...
Forget Tilting: A New Way for Drones to Fly
Traditional drones rely on a simple principle: to move forward, they must tilt. This dependence on body orientation limits maneuverability, slows response time, and...
The First Suspected AI-Built Zero-Day Has Cybersecurity Experts Watching Closely
Cybersecurity teams have long worried that artificial intelligence could eventually accelerate the development of sophisticated cyberattacks. While AI tools are already used for phishing,...
Fighting Drones Without Leaving the Tank
Modern armored units are facing a new challenge: drones are no longer a rare threat, but a constant presence. Small UAVs can locate, track,...
Can Bamboo Replace Carbon Fiber in Drones? New Tech Says Yes
The push toward more sustainable drone designs has introduced a less obvious technical challenge: materials matter. While bamboo offers clear advantages as a lightweight,...
This Hidden Electric Push Could Power the Next Generation of Robotics
Electric motors power everything from household appliances to industrial systems. Most rely on magnetic fields generated by electric current to create rotation. While electrostatic...
Powering Drones From the Ground—While They Fly
Drone operations are often limited by one key factor: endurance. Even advanced platforms must return to base for recharging or battery replacement, creating gaps...
When GPS Fails, This System Keeps Everything Running
Modern military systems rely heavily on satellite navigation and timing, but these signals are increasingly vulnerable. In contested environments, electronic warfare can disrupt or...
The Shape-Shifting Robot That Repairs Itself Mid-Task
Soft robots are often designed for a single task. Once their structure and internal wiring are set, their range of motion is fixed, limiting...
Seeing 450 Km Ahead: A New Radar Takes Shape
The rapid growth of aerial threats, from long-range aircraft to small, low-flying drones, has exposed limitations in traditional radar systems. Detecting objects at extended...
A Cruise Missile Fired From the Ground — and Retargeted Mid-Flight
Modern military operations increasingly rely on long-range precision fires, but many of these capabilities have traditionally depended on ships or aircraft. In heavily contested...
Smaller, Smarter, and Unmanned: A New Naval Shift
Maritime operations are becoming increasingly complex, with growing demand for persistent surveillance, extended reach, and reduced risk to personnel. Traditional submarines can provide these...
When Divers and Robots Start Thinking Together
Underwater operations present a persistent challenge for both humans and machines. Visibility is often limited, communication is constrained, and navigation can quickly become uncertain....
No Signal Needed: The Drone Fighting Back Against Jamming
The widespread use of small attack drones on the battlefield has created a constant contest between range and resilience. In recent phases of the...
$200 Million Bet on a New Battlefield Operating System
The modern battlefield is becoming increasingly crowded and complex. Drones, sensors, cameras, radars, and weapons systems all operate simultaneously, generating enormous volumes of data....
The Robot That Carries Gear—and Watches for Threats
Modern ground forces are under increasing pressure to operate with less exposure while maintaining mobility and firepower. Carrying heavy equipment, securing movement routes, and...
