Fast, Heavy, and Getting Smarter: Inside a Naval Upgrade Cycle
Naval platforms are being asked to do more for longer, often in environments that place heavy strain on hulls, propulsion systems, and onboard electronics....
The Hypersonic Vehicle Built Almost Entirely by Printer
Developing vehicles that can travel at hypersonic speeds—Mach 5 and above—poses extreme engineering challenges. At such velocities, airframes are subjected to intense vibration, aerodynamic...
How Stealth and Autonomy Changed Long-Range Air Attack
Modern air defenses are becoming denser, faster, and more layered, making traditional strike missions increasingly risky. Advanced surface-to-air missile systems force attacking aircraft to...
Why Power Grids Are Turning to AI and Thermal Drones
Power grids were never designed for the load and risk profile they face today. Aging infrastructure, rising electricity demand, extreme weather, and tighter safety...
When Stealth Meets Hypersonic Strike at Sea
Modern naval forces are under growing pressure to project power while remaining difficult to detect. As long-range precision weapons become more widespread, large surface...
The Tech Keeping Military Aircraft One Step Ahead of Missiles
Modern military aircraft operate in increasingly contested airspace. Portable surface-to-air missiles, radar-guided threats, and improvised munitions pose constant risks to rotary- and fixed-wing platforms...
The Underwater Drone That Hitches a Ride to Battle
Undersea operations present a persistent challenge: distance and endurance. Oceans are vast, and autonomous underwater vehicles must travel long ranges before reaching their mission...
The Armed Drone Built to Extend Fighter Reach
Modern air operations are being stretched by distance, cost, and risk. Fighter aircraft are expected to operate deeper into contested airspace, while facing increasingly...
The Night-Vision Binocular Designed to Survive the Field
Operating after dark remains one of the most demanding conditions for soldiers and security forces. Night-vision equipment is essential, yet it is often expensive,...
Another Way Autonomous Swarms Are Learning to Think Together
Coordinating large numbers of unmanned systems has become one of the central challenges of modern autonomy. Most drone operations still depend on centralized control,...
This Metal Can Let Aircraft Wings Change Shape in Mid-Flight
Aircraft designers have long pursued wings that can adapt to changing flight conditions. Fixed surfaces are always a compromise: a wing shape optimized for...
New Google Tool Addresses Online Privacy Issues
As more personal information moves online, individuals are increasingly exposed to identity theft, harassment, and privacy violations. Search engines often serve as the first...
The App That Turns Drone Chaos into Command and Control
As drone warfare scales up, one problem has become increasingly acute: volume without coordination. When thousands of unmanned systems are launched daily across a...
The AI System That Spots and Stops Rogue Drones
Small, commercially available drones have become a persistent security problem for military bases, borders, and critical infrastructure. They are inexpensive, easy to operate, and...
Long-Range Strikes Start With Better Eyes in the Sky
Monitoring vast maritime areas has become one of the harder problems for modern air forces. Surface vessels can blend into sea clutter, operate far...
$13.5M Seed Round Backs Software to Fight Signal Disruption
Modern battlefields increasingly depend on wireless connectivity. Aircraft, drones, satellites, and ground units all rely on radio-frequency signals for navigation, communication, and coordination. Yet...
This UAV Flies Longer by Staying Cooler and Quieter
Unmanned aerial vehicles used for long-range reconnaissance face a familiar set of tradeoffs. Internal combustion engines offer endurance but generate noise and heat that...
The Sea Drone That Hunts Mines at Helicopter Speeds
Naval mines remain a quiet but persistent danger. Cheap to deploy and difficult to detect, they can block ports, restrict maneuver, and threaten both...
Why Special Ops Aircraft Are Plugging into Space Networks
Modern air operations increasingly depend on constant data flow. Crews need access to real-time intelligence, targeting updates, and coordination with ground and air assets—often...
The Airborne Interceptor Built for Persistent Threats
Countering long-range attack drones has become a persistent challenge for air defense planners. Low-cost, long-endurance UAVs can loiter for hours and strike far from...
This Weapon Blurs the Line Between Drone and Missile
Modern air defenses are forcing strike systems to evolve rapidly. Weapons that once relied on persistence and operator control are now expected to reach...
