Artificial intelligence (AI) promised to revolutionise the battlefield, improving the efficiency of systems and weaponry, reducing the human presence in military operations, and accelerating decision-making. After years of theoretical development and research, AI has finally become an operational reality in 2024. Recent military operations in various conflict areas, [...]
A new technology in the field of infrared sensors could radically revolutionise the night vision of parachutists. It is a breakthrough that drastically reduces reliance on rare Chinese materials and removes the need for bulky cooling systems. Traditionally, thermal night vision sensors require cryogenic cooling equipment to function properly. [...]
In recent years, the increasing use of drones, both in the civil and military domains, has posed new challenges to national security. The Italian Armed Forces have recognised the need to develop and implement effective systems to counter these unconventional aerial threats. The Centre of Excellence Counter Mini/Micro Remotely Piloted Aircraft (C-M/M APR) in Sabaudia, [...]
The evolution of drone warfare has radically changed the nature of modern conflicts, expanding 'no-man's land' far beyond historical boundaries. In the war in Ukraine, the massive use of drones has led to a death zone stretching for tens of kilometres, creating a new dimension in modern battles. This phenomenon represents [...]
