An autonomous ground-based electronic surveillance (SIGINT) monitor and jammer, Wolfpack is designed to cooperatively network with other sensors and friendly communications assets, to avoid disruption of friendly military and protected commercial radio communications and radars. The program, under development at DARPA examines ways to maximize EW effect of by low-power jamming, deployment of units at RF vantage points, including airborne and deep-launch deliveries, for distributed Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) roles, littoral warfare and force protection roles.

Armored fighting vehicles face other challenges when operating in urban combat. They are exposed to snipers or anti-tank teams operating from elevated positions on rooftops or accessing underground shafts too close for the crew...
Israel’s Indoor Surveillance and Attack Drones
Tamir Eshel - 0
Operating drones low above ground and in complex terrain represents unique challenges, as most drone controls are limited to line of sight and uninterrupted satellite-based navigation. To endure in a GNSS-contested environment and operate indoors or underground, standard drones would not operate in such conditions. The drone platforms specially designed for subterranean or indoor environments require unique networking, sensing, navigation, and controls to enable such operations. Since these missions are complex and the drones are small, they are used in mission-specific roles such as autonomous mappers, FPV-operated lead elements, and armed effectors.
Dismounted Situational Awareness in the Urban Battlespace
Historically, military forces favored open terrain to avoid the defender’s advantages in urban and complex environments. This article explores the critical importance of advanced situational awareness in urban battlespaces, highlighting several innovations that enable dismounted forces to navigate and respond effectively, ensuring mission success and minimizing collateral damage.
