Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them easy to detect and limit their ability...

The rapid spread of small, inexpensive drones has created a growing challenge for security forces and militaries alike. What were once isolated aerial threats...

Heavy body armor remains one of the most persistent physical challenges for soldiers, law enforcement officers, and security personnel. Modern plates provide essential protection,...

Israel, a nation perpetually engaged in a high-stakes strategic chess game, finds itself in an unprecedented and uncomfortable position. Amidst persistent warnings about maintaining...

Forget the battlefields of old. A silent, rapid transformation is underway, fundamentally altering the calculus of conflict and ushering in an era where speed,...

As aerial threats become more diverse and harder to detect, many countries are reassessing how well their air defenses can cope with modern risks....

Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along controlled paths, but they typically...

Minefields remain one of the most time-consuming and dangerous obstacles for ground forces. Traditional breaching tools—mechanical rollers, plows, and manual clearing—can take hours, require...

Modern fighter operations place growing cognitive and physical demands on pilots. High-speed engagements, dense sensor inputs, and operations at night or in poor weather...

Frontline units and emergency responders increasingly rely on unmanned systems, yet most commercially available cargo drones still fall short of operational needs. Typical platforms...

Protecting personnel from the long-term neurological effects of blast exposure has been a persistent challenge for militaries worldwide. Shock waves from heavy weapons or...

High-performance infrared imaging normally requires exotic materials or cryogenic cooling, making it too costly for widespread commercial or security use. Conventional CMOS sensors—the same...

Large-scale emergencies often trigger a secondary crisis: the sudden loss of communications. Floods, fires, earthquakes, or cyberattacks can knock out established infrastructure within minutes,...

Ground robots often struggle with one recurring problem: every terrain demands a different movement strategy. Smooth surfaces favor wheels, rubble demands crawling, and narrow...

Written by Or Shalom Effective defense against threats such small, low-speed unmanned aerial systems (LSS - Low, Slow, Small), requires a multidimensional approach. Modern detection...

Cities generate enormous amounts of traffic video every day, yet only a fraction of it is ever reviewed. For transportation agencies, the challenge isn’t...

A newly discovered dataset containing millions of scraped LinkedIn profiles has renewed concerns about how easily professional information can be harvested, aggregated, and reused...

Critical undersea cables and energy pipelines have become increasingly attractive targets for adversaries, particularly as naval competition intensifies in the North Atlantic. Recent Russian...

As short-range air-defense systems improve, many unmanned aircraft are being intercepted long before they reach their targets. Slow propeller-driven drones, even in large numbers,...

Major disasters often create environments too unstable or hazardous for human rescuers to enter. Collapsed structures, toxic fumes, flooding, and narrow access points can...

Launching and retrieving drones normally requires a stationary platform, clear airspace, and operators with line-of-sight control. These constraints limit how quickly drones can be...

Modern air-defense systems face a common problem: sensors, interceptors, and command centers often operate in parallel rather than as a synchronized whole. This slows...
