North Korea recently tested its underwater drone capable of carrying a nuclear warhead capable of unleashing a “radioactive tsunami.”

The new tech is a crewless aircraft that can support a wide range of operations, from cargo transport to golf cart-style transit that can ferry army units over short distances all over training facilities and fields. Air Force authorities, however, call everyone to stop referring to it as a “flying car,” regardless of what it looks like or does.

The Army Research Laboratory has announced that it has begun researching biohybrid robots; ‘hard’ tech fused with biological muscle fibers.

Kinetic conflict is still part of the military’s mission, but an emerging digital “battlefield” is driving a wave of new military technology.

U.S. Soldiers train on a simulated firing range. Virtual ranges are just one facet of a military-wide push to inject new technology.

The Pentagon is developing a joint strategy dedicated to countering small unmanned aircraft systems, a threat that is rapidly growing.

Posts emerging on social media over the past few days show the aftermath of an unusual airstrike: A minivan carrying a suspected terrorist just 10 miles from the site of the recent raid on ISIS leader Abu Al Baghdadi’s compound, was hit by what appears to be a U.S. Hellfire missile… but instead of an […]

This technology has already found use among police, firefighters, and search and rescue teams — and now the Army wants to see if it can also increase the survivability of […]

Volvo’s French defense and security vehicle firm Arquus recently unveiled their candidate to become France’s new general-purpose troop-carrying vehicle: the Scarabée. While this platform has a lot in common with America’s long-serving workhorse Humvee, it’s got a few tricks up its sleeve that have never been seen on the battlefield before. The goal behind developing […]

Last week, the United States Navy released industry solicitations for their new conceptual large unmanned surface vehicles (LUSV), as they begin the hunt for the right ship builder to assemble a fleet of ten of these large drone ships. Building off the successes the Navy and DARPA have had with their autonomous Sea Hunter drone […]

Although Russia’s defense program marketing efforts may be among the most robust in the world, China is no slouch when it comes to making lofty claims about military capabilities through state-owned media outlets with global reach. China’s latest claim pertains to a new radar system that, according to reports, might render stealth technology obsolete. In […]
