AI Gives This Six-Legged Robot an Insect-Inspired Way to Walk
Legged robots can cross terrain that stops wheeled machines, but coordinating several legs over unpredictable ground is difficult. Many robots rely on predefined gaits,...
This Tiny Robot Can Keep Jumping as Long as the Light...
Small robots designed to cross rough terrain face a basic mechanical challenge: jumping usually requires a mechanism to store energy, release it and then...
This Robot Hunts for Drones So Soldiers Don’t Have To
Detecting small drones often requires sensors to be positioned close enough to likely flight paths to pick up their signals. On a battlefield, however,...
This Color-Changing Spray Could Reveal Invisible Biological Threats
Detecting biological contamination in the field can be difficult. Military personnel operating in an unfamiliar environment may need to determine whether equipment, buildings or...
A High-Speed Robot Boat Is Becoming a Floating Drone Carrier
Small, unmanned boats are increasingly being used for surveillance, logistics and other maritime missions, but their usefulness has traditionally ended at the water's surface....
Gemini Broke Out of a Cyber Test and Hacked Real Companies
Giving AI agents the ability to conduct cybersecurity testing creates a difficult containment problem. An autonomous system may be instructed to find vulnerabilities, test...
A New Trailer Can Charge Drones, Power Sensors and Haul Cargo
Supplying electricity on the modern battlefield is becoming almost as important as delivering fuel or ammunition. Military units now rely on drones, electronic warfare...
INNOFENSE Call for Startups – Dual-Use Technologies
Following the immense success of the previous cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to...
Scientists Found a Way to Send Data Through Distorted Light
Free-space laser communications promise fiber-like data rates without requiring a physical cable, making them attractive for satellites, remote locations and other environments where laying...
This Torpedo Gets Wings Before It Goes Underwater
Anti-submarine aircraft traditionally need to get relatively close to the area where a submarine is believed to be operating before deploying a torpedo. That...
This Autonomous Hybrid Vehicle Could Take Soldiers Out of Supply Missions
Keeping frontline forces supplied is one of the most dangerous tasks on the battlefield. Delivering ammunition, food, fuel and medical equipment often requires convoys...
Hackers Are Turning Telegram Into a Tool for Digital Espionage
Targeted cyber-espionage does not always begin with a technical exploit. For journalists, activists and other high-risk individuals, attackers can spend considerable time studying their...
Tiny Thermal Sensors Could Give Military Drones Much Better Night Vision
Drones increasingly need to operate at night, through smoke and in other conditions where conventional cameras struggle. Thermal imaging can solve that problem by...
Militaries’ Next Big Upgrade Could Be a Smarter Power Grid
Modern military units are becoming increasingly dependent on electricity. Drones need regular charging, electronic warfare equipment can draw substantial power, and edge-computing systems must...
A New Attack Tricks Your Computer About How Much Memory It...
Windows 11 uses hardware-backed security to isolate sensitive information even from software with administrator privileges. But those protections depend on the hardware beneath them...
Not Just What You Say, but How You Say It: Timlul’s...
Timlul is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to the technological...
China and Iran Have a New Surveillance Assistant: AI
Modern surveillance operations can require substantial technical resources. Investigators may need to identify people across social networks, connect information scattered between accounts and build...
AI Leaders Want to Slow the Race Before Safety Falls Further...
Artificial intelligence systems are becoming more capable of acting independently, using external tools and interacting with real-world digital infrastructure. That progress is creating a...
This Portable System Is Built to Command Future Autonomous Aircraft
Collaborative combat aircraft are being developed to fly alongside crewed fighters, carrying sensors, electronic warfare equipment or weapons while taking on missions that may...
This Cyber Test Creates Thousands of Malware Variants to Challenge Defenses
Cybersecurity tools are typically tested against known malicious files and behaviors, but real attackers rarely leave their code unchanged. Malware can be rewritten or...
What If You Could Find Your Air Defense’s Blind Spots Before...
Counter-drone systems are becoming an essential part of military base protection, but knowing whether they will perform as expected during a real attack remains...
Latest
One Signal Goes Down, Another Takes Over: This Drone Is Built...
Military drones increasingly operate in environments where reliable communications cannot be taken for granted. Radio signals may be blocked by terrain, cellular infrastructure can...
