Robots Are Transforming Space: Automation Is Now in Command

Forget rocket launches and high-stakes human landings—2025 is witnessing a different kind of space race, one led not by humans, but by machines. Robots are now dominating missions across the solar system, performing high-risk tasks, building the foundation for off-Earth industry, and quietly reshaping the economics of space exploration.

Governments and private players alike are pouring billions into robotic technologies that are transforming the way we explore, build, and even clean up in space. Over 90% of space robotics innovations are emerging from collaborations between space agencies, universities, and tech companies.

Border Security in the Age of Intelligence: Embracing the New Frontier

Borders define sovereignty, but in a world marked by rising geopolitical instability, sophisticated cyber threats, and rapid technological change, how we protect those borders must evolve. No longer confined to fences and boots on the ground, modern border security is being redefined by digital intelligence, automation, and predictive analytics.

As nations face mounting pressure to secure their borders against increasingly complex threats, the global border security market is projected to exceed $340 billion by 2028. This marks not just a growth in spending, but a decisive pivot toward technology-enabled, intelligence-driven frameworks that are proactive rather than reactive.

Wayne Shaw (Practice Area Leader, Aerospace & Defense Growth Opportunity Analytics, Frost & Sullivan) shares his thoughts on the cover article for the latest edition of the Journal of Electromagnetic Dominance as follows:

Just finished reading the excellent cover article in the latest Journal of Electromagnetic Dominance (JED) on “Underwater EW” by Andrew White. Since my days at the JEWC learning about the AN/BLQ-10, I have always celebrated when JED gives coverage to this topic of submarine electronic warfare (EW). A powerful U.S. Navy is so important to the U.S. and our Allies, and submarines and their crews are a big part of that Navy. One more layer down are the submarine’s systems, which include their EW systems and operators.
