The Battle for the Spectrum: Inside the Invisible War for the Airwaves

Science, Technology

The electromagnetic spectrum has become one of the most fiercely contested resources on the modern battlefield. Drones, sensors, radars, jammers and tactical networks increasingly compete for usable frequencies, while every transmission risks revealing its source. Ukraine has turned this into a rapid contest of adaptation. For tactical communications companies such as Finland’s Bittium, the challenge

Swedish Breakthrough Aims to Reshape Military Armour with 3D-Printed Protection

Science, Technology

For more than four decades, armour design has revolved around cutting, machining and welding hardened steel plate. Swedish steelmaker SSAB believes that paradigm is about to change. Its launch of Armox 500 AM Powder marks what the company says is the world’s first armour steel powder specifically engineered for additive manufacturing, opening the door to

The Algorithmic Battlespace: How AI Is Rewriting the Rules of Influence

Analysis, Science

As leaders and security officials gathered in Munich, the most consequential shift in the information war was about the systems that decide what any of us sees in the first place. The latest analysis from NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence argues that power is draining from narratives and pooling instead in algorithms, recommendation engines

Who’s Pulling the Trigger? Why the West Can’t Afford to Fall Behind in AI Warfare

Science, Technology

The rise of artificial intelligence in military decision-making is transforming modern warfare, from battlefield operations to strategic planning. One fact stands clear: the West must adapt and advance its AI capabilities to stay ahead of competing, challenging state powers like China and Russia, as well as the threat posed by rogue states and non-state actors,

Integrating Industrial Metaverse and Tangible XR Simulators

Science

Tangible XR simulators are a combination of a digital simulation and haptic elements. The latest advances in XR, especially metaverse and AI, further increase the potential of such tangible XR simulators as networked collaborative training and exploration methods. In this paper, we will introduce Fraunhofer FKIE’s tangible XR simulator integrated into the industrial metaverse technology

Electro Magnetic Spectrum is Present Everywhere

Analysis, NDR Digest, Science, Technology

Despite of the importance of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) in modern operations and the obvious need to coordinate spectrum activities with air, space, land, sea and cyber activities, most Western nations, and NATO, have failed to recognize EMS as one environment in modern warfare. This might be the Achille’s heel of the Western military forces.

Organizations planning to utilize artificial intelligence should start by thinking about the benefit and cost aspects - which is relevant from a business perspective.

The future of artificial intelligence: Autonomous systems that the other party cannot prepare for

Business, Science, Technology

Routine tasks will also be transferred to artificial intelligence in defense technology. The rules of ethics must be taken into account when designing autonomous defense systems. In order for the machine to learn, there must be plenty of reliable data – and cybersecurity expertise. The use of artificial intelligence has become democratized. Anyone can use
