Survivability & Protection

Modern armed forces are increasingly looking for strike weapons that can engage targets from long distances without exposing launch platforms to enemy air defenses....

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

Protecting borders, critical infrastructure, and transportation corridors is becoming increasingly challenging as the number of threats and users operating within these environments continues to...

As defense technology becomes increasingly software-driven, military organizations are looking beyond traditional defense contractors and toward companies specializing in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, sensors,...

Optical satellites provide valuable imagery from orbit, but they have a well-known limitation: they depend on visibility. Clouds, storms, smoke, darkness, and atmospheric conditions...

Machine guns remain a core element of infantry firepower, but the way soldiers use them has changed significantly over the past two decades. Modern...

The growing variety of drone threats is creating a new challenge for air-defense operators. Modern battlefields can include everything from commercial quadcopters and first-person-view...

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

First-person-view (FPV) drones have become increasingly important for reconnaissance and strike missions, but controlling them often requires bulky ground equipment. Traditional ground control stations...

Reliable communications inside military vehicles are often taken for granted until something fails. Modern combat platforms depend on constant voice coordination between crew members,...

When a ransomware attack strikes, the damage often happens quickly. Files are encrypted or deleted, systems become inaccessible, and recovery efforts begin racing against...

Modern military units often face a difficult compromise when selecting small arms. Rifles optimized for close and medium-range combat typically use ammunition that is...

The drone threat continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Explosive drones and loitering munitions have become some of the most significant threats facing...

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...

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...

Soft robots are often praised for their flexibility, safety, and ability to interact with delicate environments. But many of these systems still depend on...

Chronic wounds remain one of the more difficult problems in regenerative medicine. In many cases, the body fails to maintain the immune and signaling...

Most robots are designed around familiar biological forms. Engineers often model machines after humans, dogs, insects, or other animals, relying on centralized software and...

Modern artillery systems are under growing pressure to operate faster, strike farther, and survive in increasingly transparent battlefields. Counter-battery radars, drones, and long-range surveillance...

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 air defense systems are increasingly facing a difficult economic problem. One-way attack drones and loitering munitions can be produced cheaply and launched in...

Frontline units often face a simple limitation: access to real-time aerial intelligence. In many cases, smaller formations must rely on higher command to allocate...
