The US Special Operations Command has been quietly working on a high-tech battlesuit. Known as the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS), it aims...

An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) can assist military and law enforcement agencies in underwater search and recovery and help in undersea surveillance, or monitor offshore...

Soft robotic capabilities and manufacturing at the point of need are among the US Army's top research priorities. Newly-developed 3-D printed robotic structures can...

Fully autonomous vehicles are getting closer and closer to being a reality and are promoted as a way to make road travel dramatically safer....

As vehicles grow more connected, their internal systems depend on a constant flow of data from sensors monitoring everything from temperature and tire pressure...

One of the main constraints on unmanned aerial systems has always been endurance. Even large drones with long range are limited by fuel capacity,...

Small, commercially available drones have become a persistent battlefield problem. Easy to acquire and modify, they are now widely used for reconnaissance, targeting, and...

Autonomous maritime systems are advancing faster than the frameworks designed to prove they are safe. Unmanned surface vessels increasingly rely on AI-based perception to...

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...

Naval air defense is under growing strain. Small, low-cost drones are increasingly used to probe or saturate warships, forcing crews to rely on missiles...

Modern military operations unfold simultaneously in the air, at sea, on land, in space and in cyberspace. Yet for decades, command-and-control systems were largely...

As robots take on more complex roles in industrial environments, one challenge remains constant: ensuring safe, seamless interaction with human workers. Heavy-duty robotic arms...

The widespread use of small attack drones on the battlefield has created a constant contest between range and resilience. In recent phases of the...

Drone operations are often limited by one key factor: endurance. Even advanced platforms must return to base for recharging or battery replacement, creating gaps...

The modern battlefield is becoming increasingly crowded and complex. Drones, sensors, cameras, radars, and weapons systems all operate simultaneously, generating enormous volumes of data....

Controlling insect-based robots has long been an area of interest for researchers looking to combine the mobility and efficiency of living organisms with the...

Explosive ordnance disposal teams, special operations units, and emergency responders often face a difficult dilemma: gaining information about a potentially dangerous area without exposing...

Operating military vehicles in mountainous terrain presents a unique engineering challenge. As altitude increases, air becomes thinner, reducing the amount of oxygen available for...

Small drones have become one of the most challenging threats facing security forces in recent years. Their compact size, low-altitude flight profiles, and minimal...

Detecting extremely weak magnetic fields is useful in everything from medical imaging to industrial monitoring, but sensitivity comes with a fundamental problem: noise. As...
