Survivability & Protection

Controlling large numbers of attack drones has become one of the biggest challenges in modern warfare. Individually piloted systems already strain operators, while electronic...

Developing vehicles that can travel at hypersonic speeds—Mach 5 and above—poses extreme engineering challenges. At such velocities, airframes are subjected to intense vibration, aerodynamic...

In high-intensity combat, survival often depends on how quickly advanced medical care can reach the wounded. Evacuation to fully equipped hospitals may be delayed...

Naval forces have long faced a persistent challenge: maintenance delays that keep critical vessels out of operation for extended periods. Inspections of hulls, decks,...

Locating a person in open terrain, especially in a hostile environment with no continuous communication, remains one of the most complex challenges in search...

Unmanned ground vehicles are increasingly used to reduce risk to personnel in complex environments, but they face a persistent weakness: exposure to small, hard-to-detect...

Integrating heavy weapons onto compact robotic ground vehicles has become a growing focus for modern militaries, but the engineering challenge is significant. Small unmanned...

Modern air-defense systems are becoming increasingly capable of detecting, tracking, and intercepting conventional threats. Cruise missiles can fly low and maneuver around terrain, but...

Artificial intelligence is becoming an essential part of modern military systems, but deploying it in operational environments presents a challenge. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and...

Highland Systems (a company based in the UAE) redesigned the Kronos stealth submarine, which could be a game-changer in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Alexander Kuznetsov,...

European air defenses have faced growing scrutiny in recent years, particularly as long-range ballistic missile threats become more prominent. Traditional systems in the region—largely...

For much of the post–Cold War period, the United Kingdom invested relatively little in homeland air and missile defense. Long-range ballistic threats were seen...

Europe’s security planners are increasingly focused on the blurring line between conventional and nuclear missile forces along NATO’s eastern flank. Mobile missile systems that...

Air dominance is becoming harder to achieve as battlefields extend upward and outward, blurring the line between atmosphere and space. Traditional fighter jets are...

Entering a burning structure remains one of the most dangerous tasks for emergency responders. Extreme heat, toxic smoke, and unstable interiors often prevent crews...

Critical munition production expansion

On modern battlefields, artillery and mortar fire can strike within seconds of launch. Detecting the origin of gunfire quickly is critical for both force...

Written by Or Shalom The 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, is not merely another...

Artillery operations remain among the most physically demanding tasks on the battlefield. Crews are required to repeatedly lift and load heavy shells, often weighing...

Underwater operations present a persistent challenge for both humans and machines. Visibility is often limited, communication is constrained, and navigation can quickly become uncertain....

Frontline units often face a simple limitation: access to real-time aerial intelligence. In many cases, smaller formations must rely on higher command to allocate...

Modern air defense systems are increasingly facing a difficult economic problem. One-way attack drones and loitering munitions can be produced cheaply and launched in...
