Survivability & Protection

The German Federal Ministry of Defense has decided to equip the Bundeswehr's Leopard 2 MBTs with Rafael's Trophy Active Protection Systems (APS) by Rafael...

Modern air campaigns face a growing mismatch between targets and available weapons. Long-range cruise missiles offer precision and survivability, but their high cost and...

Traditional drones rely on a simple principle: to move forward, they must tilt. This dependence on body orientation limits maneuverability, slows response time, and...

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

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...

While the US military has been losing larger and pricey unmanned aircraft to hostile fire, a small unmanned aircraft is gaining momentum.  Last June,...

The US Marine Corps has been focusing efforts in human performance augmentation, listing it as a key focus area headed into 2020. It is...

Every minute counts during water rescue operations. Whether responding to a person swept away by strong currents or someone struggling after a boating accident,...

For decades, combat aircraft programs have largely followed the same model: highly complex manned platforms developed over long timelines by a small group of...

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 battlefields are saturated with electronic activity. Radars, jammers, drone control stations, communications systems, and other emitters constantly transmit radio-frequency signals that can reveal...

Small robots could be valuable for exploring collapsed buildings, damaged infrastructure and other spaces that are too confined or dangerous for people. But building...

Finding security flaws in modern software has become increasingly difficult. Today's applications are built from layers of code, third-party libraries and application programming interfaces...

Modern military operations face a growing mismatch between threats and available strike options. High-end precision weapons deliver accuracy and range, but they are expensive,...

The U.S Army is interested in advanced military vehicle technology. Its armored combat vehicle experts are making plans to ask industry for military vehicle...

Industrial environments such as chemical facilities, refineries, and large storage sites often involve hazardous conditions that put human workers at risk. Tasks like welding,...

While Israel’s adversaries have improved their ability to spot IDF soldiers using advanced cameras, including thermal cameras and night-vision equipment, until now there has...

Protecting critical systems becomes especially difficult once an attacker gets inside the device itself. Conventional cybersecurity tools can monitor network traffic, identify known vulnerabilities...

Modern air-defense systems face an increasingly difficult task. Drones, cruise missiles, helicopters, rockets, and high-speed aircraft can all appear simultaneously, often operating at different...

As unmanned systems expand across air and land domains, underwater autonomy is becoming an increasingly important area of military development. Traditional submarines remain highly...

Modern military operations increasingly rely on unmanned systems, but coordinating them effectively remains a challenge. Drones operating in the air, on the surface, or...

Low-cost drones and coordinated swarms are rapidly eroding the effectiveness of traditional air-defense methods. Missiles are expensive, guns have limited coverage, and both can...
