Defense & Military

Cyber warfare refers to the strategic use of technology to attack nations, governments, or individuals, causing disruption and damage comparable to traditional warfare. Over the years, it has evolved into a complex battleground where both state and non-state actors deploy sophisticated cyber weapons to compromise critical infrastructure such as power …

Beneath the shimmering surface of our oceans lies a hidden battleground—not of weapons and armies but of sound. Underwater Radiated Noise (URN), the unintended byproduct of human activities, is silently reshaping marine ecosystems and posing significant challenges for naval operations and stealth. Let’s delve into the depths of this issue, …

The electrification of ships is revolutionizing the maritime industry, offering the promise of zero-emission travel and the potential to mitigate noise pollution. Yet, the relationship between electric propulsion and noise radiation—both airborne and underwater—remains largely unexplored. A recent study investigating three diesel-electric hybrid ferries operating in hybrid and fully electric …

Modern military operations demand armored vehicles that are not only heavily protected and armed but also fuel-efficient, stealthy, and adaptable to evolving battlefield conditions. While traditional diesel engines have long powered tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, hybrid-electric propulsion systems are emerging as a game-changing alternative. By combining internal combustion engines …

As satellite constellations grow in scale and complexity, managing fleets of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of spacecraft in orbit has become one of the most demanding tasks in the space industry. From enabling global broadband access to monitoring environmental changes, satellite constellations are revolutionizing how we connect, observe, and …

Introduction The United Kingdom has established itself as a leader in quantum technology development, supported by a strong research base, strategic government initiatives, and an expanding quantum startup ecosystem. However, as global competition accelerates, the UK must make targeted investments in infrastructure to transition from research and prototyping to full-scale …

In the fast-paced world of technological and scientific innovation, groundbreaking ideas often require bold funding models that embrace uncertainty and prioritize transformational impact over incremental progress. Enter the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA), a UK government initiative designed to fund “high-risk, high-reward” research, reminiscent of the U.S. Defense Advanced …

In a pivotal step toward reinforcing maritime technological dominance and operational readiness, the U.S. Navy has introduced its Naval Science and Technology (S&T) Strategy. Announced by Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro at the Sea-Air-Space exposition, the strategy outlines a comprehensive approach to guide Navy and Marine Corps research efforts, ensuring …
