Modern warfare has exposed a crucial vulnerability: advanced counter-drone systems can be neutralized by electronic warfare (EW) attacks. No longer just a technical issue, electromagnetic resilience has become a strategic imperative. As drone technologies evolve—integrating hardened communications and jamming-resistant guidance, such as Ukraine’s fiber-optic-controlled drones—defensive systems must now do more …

Defense electronics obsolescence plays a vital role in sustaining national security by maintaining the operational effectiveness of military systems despite the rapid evolution of technology. Defense platforms typically have long operational lifespans, often far exceeding the life cycles of their embedded electronic components. As a result, obsolescence management becomes critical …

Rethinking Military Logistics in Contested Environments In today’s era of multi-domain warfare, logistics has become as strategic as firepower. Modern battlefields, particularly in contested or resource-depleted environments, challenge the assumption of uninterrupted access to high-quality materials and long supply chains. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recognizes this evolving …
