Survivability & Protection

Finnish startup Distance Technologies has unveiled its Field Operator HUD (FOH), an innovative augmented reality (AR) system for combat vehicles. The system, which has...

Ballistic missile defense has become a race against both technology and inventory. As missile threats grow in number, range, and complexity, interceptor stockpiles are...

Modern battlefields increasingly depend on wireless connectivity. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and ground units all rely on radio-frequency signals for navigation, communication, and coordination. Yet...

Monitoring activity beneath the ocean surface remains one of the most complex challenges in maritime operations. Traditional sonar systems provide valuable acoustic data, but...

Modern air and missile defense systems are becoming increasingly effective at intercepting conventional threats. This has created a growing challenge for long-range strike capabilities,...

Rescue helicopters operating in contested environments face a growing threat from infrared-guided missiles. While onboard warning systems can alert crews to incoming threats, they...

As autonomous aviation advances, one of the key challenges remains flexibility. Most current systems rely on a single, tightly integrated AI “brain” to control...

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

Last week in Tel Aviv, a workshop was held as part of the INNOFENSE program, the innovation center operated by iHLS in collaboration with...

Firefighters frequently operate in environments where collapsing structures, intense heat, toxic smoke, and rapidly changing conditions pose significant risks. Entering these areas to extinguish...

Building temporary infrastructure on water is often slow, expensive and labor-intensive. Whether the goal is creating a floating bridge after a natural disaster, deploying...

Small military drones are taking on increasingly complex missions, from reconnaissance and target tracking to autonomous navigation and coordinated swarm operations. Yet many of...

Small robots could be valuable for exploring collapsed buildings, damaged infrastructure and other spaces that are too confined or dangerous for people. But building...

The HMS Anson submarine, a hunter-killer submarine that is the Royal Navy’s newest and most cutting-edge vessel, is close to deployment after her latest...

As drone threats grow in range, speed, and sophistication, many existing counter-UAS systems struggle to keep up. Ground-based radars are limited by terrain, jammers...

Israel, a nation perpetually engaged in a high-stakes strategic chess game, finds itself in an unprecedented and uncomfortable position. Amidst persistent warnings about maintaining...

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

Air defenses are increasingly being shaped by the types of threats they face. Slow, propeller-driven drones are relatively easy to detect and engage once...

Air and missile defense planners are facing a rapidly widening threat spectrum. Beyond traditional aircraft, modern forces must contend with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles,...

Modern frigate construction program

Resupplying frontline units has always carried risk. Ground convoys remain vulnerable to surveillance, ambush, long-range fires, and loitering munitions. At the same time, modern...

Advanced artificial intelligence models have become increasingly integrated into defense planning and operational workflows, but their growing role is also exposing tensions between military...
