Survivability & Protection

Most robots are designed around familiar biological forms. Engineers often model machines after humans, dogs, insects, or other animals, relying on centralized software and...

Modern artillery systems are under growing pressure to operate faster, strike farther, and survive in increasingly transparent battlefields. Counter-battery radars, drones, and long-range surveillance...

Modern soldiers increasingly operate with multiple connected devices at once, such as radios, sensors, cameras, navigation systems, hearing protection, and digital battlefield applications. While...

Modern air defense systems are increasingly facing a difficult economic problem. One-way attack drones and loitering munitions can be produced cheaply and launched in...

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...

Coordinating large groups of robots usually requires complex software, wireless communication, and centralized control systems. But these approaches can become fragile in unpredictable environments...

Flying autonomous drones through unpredictable environments remains one of the biggest technical challenges in robotics. In confined spaces such as collapsed buildings, industrial sites,...

As small drones become faster, cheaper, and more numerous, traditional radar systems are facing a growing challenge. Most electronically scanned array (ESA) radars detect...

Small drone swarms are becoming increasingly difficult to stop using traditional air-defense systems. Conventional remotely operated gun turrets usually rely on mechanically rotating toward...

Large organizations are increasingly turning to AI to manage growing volumes of data and administrative workload. Traditional tools, such as spreadsheets, static dashboards, and...

Unmanned aerial systems are taking on increasingly complex missions, from reconnaissance and border monitoring to strike operations and electronic surveillance. But as drones move...

Modern air and missile defense systems generate enormous amounts of data, but many still operate through fragmented networks where sensors, interceptors, and command systems...

Modern air-defense systems are becoming increasingly capable of detecting, tracking, and intercepting conventional threats. Cruise missiles can fly low and maneuver around terrain, but...

Modern artillery systems are increasingly expected to operate in heavily contested electronic environments where satellite navigation signals may be disrupted or denied entirely. At...

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

Small unmanned aerial systems have become an increasingly common challenge for naval forces. Surveillance drones can track ship movements, collect targeting information, and operate...

Modern drone warfare increasingly depends on systems that can operate in heavily contested electronic environments. One of the biggest challenges facing long-range unmanned platforms...

As 5G networks continue expanding into critical infrastructure, autonomous systems, and industrial environments, the demands on network security are increasing rapidly. High-speed connectivity and...

Modern air operations are increasingly shaped by the need to strike targets at long range without exposing aircraft to dense air defense systems. Traditional...

The growing use of drones on the battlefield is creating a new challenge for air defense systems. Small, low-cost drones can operate individually or...

Training helicopter pilots for wildfire missions is particularly difficult because the environment itself is constantly changing. Smoke, shifting winds, rising heat, and the interaction...

Modern military ground operations are increasingly moving toward autonomous systems capable of operating in contested environments with reduced risk to personnel. However, developing military...
