Remote-Controlled From Afar: A New Era of Policing by Drone
Policing vast rural territories presents a persistent challenge. In regional areas, specialist air support is often based hundreds of miles away, limiting rapid aerial...
Quieter, Cooler, Harder to Detect: The Hydrogen Shift in Defense
Modern ground forces face a growing energy dilemma. Unmanned systems, sensors and electronic payloads demand increasing amounts of onboard power, while conventional diesel engines...
Say the Word—and the Drones Move
Coordinating multiple drones and ground robots during a complex mission is rarely simple. Operators must manage sensor feeds, assign roles, deconflict movement paths and...
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...
AI at Scale: The Push Into Secure Government Networks
Government agencies are increasingly looking to integrate artificial intelligence into daily operations, but adoption at scale presents challenges. Sensitive workloads, including classified environments, require...
A Wicked Missile: Dancing Past Interceptors
Ballistic missile defense systems rely heavily on early detection and predictable flight paths. In many cases, warning time and trajectory calculation are critical for...
Uncrewed but Armed: The Next Evolution in Ground Combat
As ground forces prepare for increasingly complex battlefields, one of the persistent challenges is how to add firepower without exposing more soldiers to risk....
A 360° Shield in the Sky: New System Targets Drones, Jets,...
Air defense systems are facing a growing challenge as threats become more diverse and complex. Modern forces must deal simultaneously with drones, cruise missiles,...
Bees Don’t Need GPS, So Is It Possible That Robots Might...
One of the biggest obstacles to deploying very small autonomous robots is navigation. As machines shrink, the hardware required to determine position and direction...
3D-Printed Titanium From Scrap Takes to the Skies
Aerospace manufacturers rely heavily on titanium for critical components, thanks to its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. However, aerospace-grade titanium is expensive, energy-intensive...
How Ordinary Cargo Ships Could Become Instant Warships
Modern naval planning is increasingly shaped by speed and scale. Building new warships takes years, while crises can unfold in weeks or days. For...
When Firefighting Robots Start Thinking as a Team
Firefighting in industrial sites, disaster zones, and remote environments often exposes crews to extreme heat, toxic smoke, and unstable structures. While remotely controlled unmanned...
Can a Fighter Jet Be “Jailbroken” Into Like a Smartphone?
Modern combat aircraft are increasingly defined as much by software as by airframes and engines. Mission data, sensor fusion, threat libraries, and logistics systems...
The “Silent Ears” That Can Hear Artillery Fire
On modern battlefields, artillery and mortar fire can strike within seconds of launch. Detecting the origin of gunfire quickly is critical for both force...
How Smarter Headgear Is Reducing Pilot Fatigue
As combat aircraft take on longer missions and pilots rely more heavily on helmet-mounted sensors and displays, the physical burden on aircrew has become...
How a Pocket-Sized AI Module Supercharges Drones
Small drones are rapidly becoming a dominant feature of modern battlefields. They are inexpensive, adaptable, and increasingly used for reconnaissance, strike, and interception roles....
