Survivability & Protection

Digital security systems are under constant pressure. As encryption becomes more sophisticated, so do the methods used to bypass it. Software-based protection, no matter...

For much of the post–World War II era, Japan kept defense-spending tightly constrained, relying on alliances and a strictly defensive posture to ensure security....

Air defenses are increasingly being shaped by the types of threats they face. Slow, propeller-driven drones are relatively easy to detect and engage once...

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...

During the past two weeks, which started with the murder of Eitam and Na’ama Henkin, Magen David Adom (MDA) forces all over the country...

As 5G networks continue expanding into critical infrastructure, autonomous systems, and industrial environments, the demands on network security are increasing rapidly. High-speed connectivity and...

Robots intended for combat support or hazardous-duty missions typically rely on pre-programmed actions or remote-control interfaces, limiting how precisely they can mimic human movement....

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

Modern warships are increasingly exposed to short-range aerial threats that traditional defenses struggle to counter efficiently. Small drones and fast, maneuverable targets can overwhelm...

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

As drone threats grow in range, speed, and sophistication, many existing counter-UAS systems struggle to keep up. Ground-based radars are limited by terrain, jammers...

As robots take on more complex roles in industrial environments, one challenge remains constant: ensuring safe, seamless interaction with human workers. Heavy-duty robotic arms...

Search-and-rescue teams often struggle with a basic operational challenge: disaster zones are unpredictable, unmapped, and full of obstacles that confuse traditional robotic systems. Standard...

The longitudinal and shear energy waves produced by earthquakes travel through the ground and can destroy buildings miles from the epicenter. Preventing that damage...

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...

Autonomous vehicles rely on complex artificial intelligence architectures to interpret sensor data, adapt to changing road conditions and make split-second driving decisions. Many 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...

The US armed forces branches are testing their sensor-to-sensor capabilities in tandem during the Army-led Project Convergence campaign at Yuma Proving Ground (YPG). Project Convergence...

Small FPV drones have become a central tool on the modern battlefield, offering precision strike capabilities at relatively low cost. However, their effectiveness is...

An official report by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) says that the U.S. government is not fully prepared to handle nuclear terrorist attacks...

The Netherlands has unveiled a prototype of an "ambulance drone" which could potentially save lives by offering a rapid response after heart attack incidents....
