Displayed in a truck mounted configuration at the show, the new MBDA weapon is an upgrade to the company’s ground-launched, Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile (ASRAAM) and can also be integrated on unmanned ground vehicles or unmanned surface vessels.

Archer and its eVTOL peers are racing for FAA certification to start flying their air taxis commercially.

Malicious anomalous activity detection is a fundamental challenge for cyber security systems. Both tensor decomposition under statistical framework with CANDECOMP-PARAFAC alternating Poisson regression (CP-APR) and normalizing flows have proven to be powerful unsupervised machine learning methods that model multi-dimensional data and capture complex and multi-faceted details of behavior profiles in cyber security applications. In this study, we propose Hybrid Latent-Structural Fusion (HLSF), a w

Text-to-Image (T2I) generative models have achieved remarkable progress in synthesizing high-quality visual content, yet they remain vulnerable to adversarial misuse, particularly in generating Not-Safe-For-Work (NSFW) images. Most existing jailbreak attacks primarily rely on heuristic prompt engineering or black-box optimization, treating model feedback as a binary signal (success or failure). This coarse-grained paradigm overlooks the rich information embedded in diverse failure modes, such as

Cyber-physical systems built on deterministic edge inference, such as on-vehicle flood detection for agricultural fields, produce structured decision logs that must be interpreted differently by heterogeneous stakeholders. Pairing such systems with large language models (LLMs) to generate stakeholder-specific reports introduces a tension: the generative layer is non-deterministic, while the edge plane must remain replayable and auditable. We propose an architectural pattern resting on two invari

World leaders are marching us toward an uncertain era of new warfare — fast.

The forthcoming modifications follow concerns that the 747 jumbo jet rapidly modified by defense contractor L3Harris lacked security measures typical for transporting the US president.

The secretary of defense’s November announcement on acquisition reform laid out an unprecedented vision across the entire acquisition spectrum to improve the delivery speed of critical capabilities to our warfighters. One foundational pillar is the implementation of a commercial first policy, which laid out several initiatives: leveraging existing but less often used acquisition authorities, maximizing non-traditional contract vehicles, and increasing the use of more flexible solicitations. Most

The Internet of Things (IoT) and its applications are increasing rapidly over the years. Due to the wide variety of IoT applications, cyber attackers are exploring strong attacking methods and patterns to damage the IoT networks in real-time applications even if the IoT network is secure. To protect the IoT networks, it is essential to design and develop a real-time intrusion detection system that can detect the attacking patterns and methods and prevent them immediately. To achieve this goal, w

It is crucial to safeguard computer networks from evolving network security threats and unknown cyberattacks. An essential tool for protecting computer networks against unknown cyber threats is Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). However, NIDS faces a major security concern due to its susceptibility to adversarial attacks. Adversarial attacks aim to deceive NIDS by crafting and injecting adversarial examples into the system. These adversarial inputs can deceive the NIDS into misclassifyin

Drone swarms are increasingly deployed in critical applications such as surveillance, disaster response, and infrastructure monitoring. However, their reliance on open communication channels and their limited computational resources make them vulnerable to a wide range of cyber-threats. There is a growing interest in intrusion detection systems (IDS) specifically designed for drone environments and operations. However, the conventional solutions including Machine Learning (ML)-based approaches r
