Survivability & Protection

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...

Large strategic bombers were designed for a very different battlespace than the one air forces face today. Modern conflicts rely on dense sensor networks,...

Search-and-rescue teams often struggle with a basic operational challenge: disaster zones are unpredictable, unmapped, and full of obstacles that confuse traditional robotic systems. Standard...

Modern naval forces are increasingly challenged by the limits of traditional missile defense. Ship-based interceptors and radar systems were largely designed to counter predictable...

Archer, a U.S.-based company, has been selected to integrate its advanced electric propulsion system into the "Omen" unmanned air vehicle (UAV). The Omen UAV...

Modern air-defense networks are becoming harder to penetrate, with mobile launchers, dispersed command nodes, and dense sensor arrays creating narrow and fast-moving windows of...

For much of the post–World War II era, Japan kept defense-spending tightly constrained, relying on alliances and a strictly defensive posture to ensure security....

Robots designed for ground exploration often struggle with two conflicting demands: they need to travel long distances efficiently, yet also maneuver through cluttered or...

Air-defense systems have become highly effective at intercepting rockets and missiles, but they come with a persistent problem: cost and capacity. Low-cost threats such...

Modern armored vehicles have become increasingly difficult to defeat as active protection systems, reactive armor, and rapid maneuvering continue to advance. Conventional anti-tank weapons...

Modern ground forces face a recurring challenge: many critical tasks occur in places too dangerous or too unpredictable for soldiers to enter safely. Minefields,...

Naval forces face a growing need to monitor and operate across vast stretches of ocean without relying solely on crewed ships. Long-range patrols, intelligence...

Loss of pilot capability remains one of aviation’s most dangerous failure modes. Whether caused by medical issues, hypoxia, or sudden onboard emergencies, pilot incapacitation...
