Survivability & Protection

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 armored vehicles are being pushed to their limits by a changing battlefield. Infantry fighting vehicles must now deal with better-protected targets, widespread drone...

Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...

Modern military operations rely heavily on understanding and shaping the electromagnetic environment. Radar emissions, jamming signals, and electronic intelligence streams can shift rapidly, leaving...

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

Rising demand for missiles has exposed a persistent challenge across defense supply chains: propulsion components are difficult to scale quickly without introducing delays or...

One of the main constraints on unmanned aerial systems has always been endurance. Even large drones with long range are limited by fuel capacity,...

Modern air defenses are being pushed to their limits by faster, higher-flying, and more complex threats. Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and even...

Small, commercially available drones have become a persistent battlefield problem. Easy to acquire and modify, they are now widely used for reconnaissance, targeting, and...

Growing missile arsenals are placing unprecedented pressure on air and missile defense systems. Ballistic threats are no longer limited to a small number of...

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...

Electronic warfare is no longer confined to large ships, fixed sites, or crewed aircraft. In littoral environments—where coastlines, islands, and narrow waterways limit maneuvering...

Imagine a quiet night, its stillness broken only by a familiar, monotonous hum – the ominous sound of Shahed loitering munitions. Ground forces have...

Envision a critical operational scenario in the future battlespace: swarms of autonomous drones tasked with real-time data analysis, identifying emergent threats, and executing complex...

Modern militaries are generating more data than ever before, but turning that data into timely battlefield advantage remains a challenge. Sensors, drones, logistics systems,...

Robots intended for combat support or hazardous-duty missions typically rely on pre-programmed actions or remote-control interfaces, limiting how precisely they can mimic human movement....

Operating aircraft over heavily defended territory has become increasingly difficult as air-defense systems grow more capable and networked. Traditional surveillance platforms struggle to remain...

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...

As vehicles grow more connected, their internal systems depend on a constant flow of data from sensors monitoring everything from temperature and tire pressure...

In an era where cyber threats evolve at an alarming pace and operational quietude can be disrupted at any moment, the traditional approach to...

Power transmission lines stretch across forests, farmland, and mountainous terrain, where they face constant exposure to heat, vegetation growth, and shifting weather patterns. These...

Modern militaries face a growing challenge in striking high-value targets that are both well-defended and highly mobile. Traditional cruise and ballistic missiles offer range...
