Survivability & Protection

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...

The Israeli Eitan AFV has recently completed a comprehensive series of tests in various terrain types across Israel. The tests included an assessment of...

Modern small arms developed by leading countries feature high armor-piercing capabilities even with the small caliber. In view of this, Russia and other countries...

Armored fighting vehicles are expected to operate in increasingly complex environments, from dense urban terrain to wide-open maneuver corridors. They must withstand emerging anti-armor...

Robots designed for ground exploration often struggle with two conflicting demands: they need to travel long distances efficiently, yet also maneuver through cluttered or...

Modern military operations increasingly take place in environments where GPS cannot be relied upon. Electronic jamming, urban terrain, dense foliage, and underground spaces can...

Armored vehicles operate in some of the most demanding and visually restrictive environments on the battlefield. Dust, smoke, darkness, urban clutter, and limited sightlines...

Airborne early warning remains one of the most difficult capabilities to replace. Modern air combat depends on long-range detection, tracking, and battle management, yet...

Modern military operations increasingly depend on seeing targets long before forces arrive on scene. High-risk missions, especially those involving special operations or politically sensitive...

At first glance, diesel submarines seem to defy basic physics. Diesel engines require oxygen for combustion, yet these vessels spend much of their time...

Maintaining a credible sea-based nuclear deterrent requires more than just advanced missiles. Submarines tasked with strategic patrols must remain undetected for extended periods while...

As missile threats grow more complex, particularly with the emergence of hypersonic weapons, traditional detection systems are struggling to keep pace. These threats travel...

Conventional firearms rely on chemical propellants, which bring a set of well-known limitations: noise, visible signatures, and fixed levels of force. In certain scenarios,...

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

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...

As drones become increasingly common along national borders and around critical infrastructure, detecting them is only part of the challenge. Border security agencies also...

Alumor is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. For life to occur, it needs safe drinking water,...

Modern amphibious forces increasingly rely on unmanned systems for reconnaissance, strike missions, and real-time situational awareness. Traditional helicopter assault ships are limited in the...

Electronic warfare is no longer confined to large ships, fixed sites, or crewed aircraft. In littoral environments—where coastlines, islands, and narrow waterways limit maneuvering...

Naval mines remain a quiet but persistent danger. Cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can block ports, restrict maneuver, and threaten both...
