Long Range, No Crew: The Drone Boat Changing Naval Operations
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...
A Real Emergency Proves Autonomous Landing Isn’t Sci-Fi Anymore
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...
Europe is Rethinking the Role of Light Attack Planes
European air forces are facing a growing capability gap at the lower end of the combat aviation spectrum. Many light multirole and trainer-based attack...
This Uncrewed Helicopter Could Hunt Submarines for Hours
Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...
One Simple Physics Trick Powers These Shape-Shifting Robots
Robots are often limited by how they move. Wheels struggle with obstacles, legs require complex joints and control, and propellers add weight and energy...
The App That Turns Drone Chaos into Command and Control
As drone warfare scales up, one problem has become increasingly acute: volume without coordination. When thousands of unmanned systems are launched daily across a...
Hitting Moving Targets—Even Through Smoke and Storms
Modern air operations are often complicated by poor visibility. Darkness, heavy weather, smoke and dust can all degrade sensors and make it harder to...
No Pilot, No Problem: The Rise of “Loyal Wingman” Drones
As air forces adapt to more contested environments, there is growing demand for platforms that can operate alongside manned aircraft while reducing risk to...
A New Way to Hit Targets Without Getting Close
Striking targets deep behind enemy lines has become increasingly difficult as air defense systems grow more capable and layered. Ground-launched missiles often face range...
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 New Flight Simulation System Models the Chaos of Wildfires
Training helicopter pilots for wildfire missions is particularly difficult because the environment itself is constantly changing. Smoke, shifting winds, rising heat, and the interaction...
This Space Radar Can See Through Clouds, Darkness, and Bad Weather
Optical satellites provide valuable imagery from orbit, but they have a well-known limitation: they depend on visibility. Clouds, storms, smoke, darkness, and atmospheric conditions...
Guess Which $61 Billion Defense-Tech Giant Wants to Set Up Shop...
As defense technology becomes increasingly software-driven, military organizations are looking beyond traditional defense contractors and toward companies specializing in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, sensors,...
This New Ballistic Missile Can Strike Targets 500 Kilometers Away
Modern military operations increasingly depend on the ability to strike high-value targets from long distances before they can threaten friendly forces. Command posts, air...
Autonomous Robot Boat Combines Surface and Aerial Surveillance
Maritime surveillance often requires both surface vessels and aerial drones to maintain awareness over large areas. While drones provide a much wider field of...
