Survivability & Protection

Modern air combat is increasingly defined by long-range sensors and advanced missiles, but crewed fighter jets still face a basic constraint: to fire, they...

As the number of 5G network sites grows, there has been a heightened focus on network performance by operators as well as safety. Cellular...

Modern air-defense systems face a growing challenge: the number of incoming threats is rising, and so is the cost of intercepting them. Rockets, drones,...

Carrier-based aviation is under pressure to extend its operational reach while reducing the workload on manned aircraft. Fighter jets are often tasked not only...

Emergency responders and humanitarian agencies often struggle with the same issue: how to deploy sturdy, lightweight shelters quickly in disaster zones where transport is...

Ballistic missile defense systems rely heavily on early detection and predictable flight paths. In many cases, warning time and trajectory calculation are critical for...

Shifting from the development of protection against hazardous materials to improving the equipment of COVID-19 teams. Wearing COVID-19 personal protective equipment is cumbersome. A...

The rapid spread of low-cost kamikaze drones is creating a growing challenge for air defense systems. These small, expendable platforms can be deployed in...

Maritime collisions remain a stubborn and costly problem. Despite modern sensors and navigation aids, ships still strike offshore platforms, port infrastructure, and anchored vessels...

The rapid spread of small drones is forcing armies to rethink how they defend moving formations. Low-cost UAVs can appear with little warning, overwhelm...

Modern naval forces face an increasingly complex underwater picture. Quieter submarines, dense maritime traffic and the growing risk of seabed mines make persistent undersea...

The Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) concept enables the warfighter — and/or another aircraft — to instantly determine if an entity encountered is friendly...

Modern soldiers increasingly operate with multiple connected devices at once, such as radios, sensors, cameras, navigation systems, hearing protection, and digital battlefield applications. While...

Robots are often expected to operate where wheels fail: collapsed buildings, uneven ground, mud, ice, or debris-covered floors. Yet most legged robots still struggle...

Small drones have become one of the most difficult threats on the modern battlefield. Unlike larger aircraft, they are small, fast, and highly maneuverable,...

Locating radioactive material quickly is one of the most difficult challenges facing emergency and security services. Hazardous sources can be extremely small, mobile, and...

Military operations have traditionally relied on a sequential “kill chain” — a process that moves from intelligence gathering and target identification to legal review...

The solar-powered, high-altitude long endurance (HALE) UAV previously known as the Qinetiq Zephyr, which is now part of the Airbus High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS)...

Ballistic missile defense has become a race against both technology and inventory. As missile threats grow in number, range, and complexity, interceptor stockpiles are...

Arik Davidi We are currently facing a terror attack that could be referred to as a wave of terror, lone-wolf terror, unorganized terror, terror without...

Underwater missions are often constrained by endurance. Most autonomous underwater vehicles rely on batteries, which limit how long they can remain submerged before needing...

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