Survivability & Protection

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...

Big Data and Open data and analytics have become fundamental tools in disaster preparedness, experts say. But public officials aren't using them enough. Lucy Jones,...

Policing vast rural territories presents a persistent challenge. In regional areas, specialist air support is often based hundreds of miles away, limiting rapid aerial...

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

Stealth aircraft designers have long faced a hard tradeoff. Flying-wing bombers offer excellent range, efficiency, and low radar visibility, but they pay a price...

Detecting small drones often requires sensors to be positioned close enough to likely flight paths to pick up their signals. On a battlefield, however,...

New models of police cars are equipped with the latest technology including artificial intelligence, communication systems, and high speeds.  One of them is Bozena Riot,...

The solar-powered, high-altitude long endurance (HALE) UAV previously known as the Qinetiq Zephyr, which is now part of the Airbus High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS)...

Modern military units often face a difficult compromise when selecting small arms. Rifles optimized for close and medium-range combat typically use ammunition that is...

The rapid spread of unmanned aerial threats is exposing a key limitation in current air defense systems: coverage gaps between ground-based sensors and high-end...

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...

Firefighting and disaster response increasingly place human crews in environments that are unstable, toxic, or simply unreachable. Collapsed structures, chemical leaks, tunnel fires, and...

Modern naval radar systems face a growing challenge: the electromagnetic spectrum is becoming increasingly crowded. Warships today must manage surveillance, missile guidance, communications, and...

Creating interactive, controllable digital environments is a complex, resource-intensive endeavor. Generating a responsive world from a simple prompt, rather than extensive coding, has been...

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...

Defining the Problem The modern battlefield is characterized by a proliferation of sensors and threats to friendly forces in terms of quantity, range, and integration....

Tyco Innovation, a branch of that global leader in fire and security solutions, has snagged up some inventive Israeli startups that could help save...

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

Innovations and developments found in aerospace and defense often trickle down to the commercial market as products and new capabilities for big data and...

The rapid spread of small unmanned aerial systems on today’s battlefield has created a new challenge for attack helicopters. Platforms originally optimized for engaging...

Modern armored fighting vehicles achieve high levels of crew survivability using both passive and active protection. However, to maximize this protection, all vehicle hatches...

Short-range aerial threats have become one of the most persistent challenges in modern conflict. Rockets, mortars, and small drones are relatively inexpensive, easy to...
