Survivability & Protection

The United States Army Research Office has been funding researchers at the University of Buffalo to develop a novel form of lightweight armor to...

As the volume of information flowing into military headquarters continues to grow, decision-making becomes increasingly complex. Satellites, drones, reconnaissance aircraft, intelligence systems, and other...

Modern warfare is increasingly shaped by technologies that operate beyond traditional bullets and bombs. As conflicts move into dense urban areas and contested electromagnetic...

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operate in an environment that is constantly shifting. Sudden currents, turbulence and pressure changes can destabilize rigid wings and control...

Sarin is a colorless, odorless liquid fatal even at very low concentrations. Serious sarin poisoning causes visual disturbance, vomiting, breathing difficulties and, finally, death....

Last week  Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA) held a Congressional Roundtable Discussion on Future Ballistic Missile Defense Systems at the United States Capitol. The following...

Israeli company Carbyne, which developed an advanced real-time emergency call management system, has been acquired by U.S.-based Axon in an all-cash deal valued at...

The Tiburon Jr. UAV platform successfully flew multiple runs in a series of tests on the coast of Antarctica in February. The flights were...

Underwater operations present a persistent challenge for both humans and machines. Visibility is often limited, communication is constrained, and navigation can quickly become uncertain....

Modern ground forces face a recurring challenge: many critical tasks occur in places too dangerous or too unpredictable for soldiers to enter safely. Minefields,...

Ceramic body armor provides great protection but can also be difficult to manufacture, notably in combining materials to create a strong composite. Ceramic armor...

Severe bleeding remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma situations. On the battlefield, at accident scenes, or during natural disasters,...

Modern air operations depend heavily on airborne early warning aircraft to detect threats, coordinate forces, and manage complex engagements across large areas. But many...

Modern air defenses are being pushed to their limits by faster, higher-flying, and more complex threats. Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and even...

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

Carrier-based air operations are increasingly constrained by range. As strike aircraft become more capable and missions push farther from the carrier, a growing share...

Operating helicopters in the North Atlantic has always carried high risk. Harsh weather, long distances, and the growing presence of submarines make maritime aviation...

Minefields remain one of the most time-consuming and dangerous obstacles for ground forces. Traditional breaching tools—mechanical rollers, plows, and manual clearing—can take hours, require...

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

Modern frigate construction program

Modern armored vehicles have become increasingly difficult to defeat as active protection systems, reactive armor, and rapid maneuvering continue to advance. Conventional anti-tank weapons...

Energy infrastructure is becoming a prime target in modern cyber conflict. Power generation, transmission, and distribution systems are increasingly digital, interconnected, and exposed, while...
