Over the course of 2024, Defense Advancement highlighted the transformative innovations reshaping military ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) capabilities. 

In an era where modern warfare demands precision, adaptability, and real-time intelligence, ISR solutions have become indispensable for military operations across air, land, and sea domains. 

The rise of sophisticated technologies, including sensor integration, autonomous systems, and GPS-denied capabilities, underscores their critical role in enabling superior decision-making and execution.

From advanced ISR drones to rugged computing platforms, this year has seen the development of groundbreaking ISR solutions, empowering defense forces to gather actionable intelligence, monitor threats, and execute precision strikes.

Below are five standout articles from 2024 that showcase the latest advancements in military ISR solutions, demonstrating how they are shaping the future of defense technology. 

1. Lightweight Mini Drones Boost Military ISR Capabilities

DE&S procured the Parrot Anafi USA lightweight, a high tech mini drone for the British Army, aiming to help the military to think more about the rise of electronic warfare and how to combat it. 

Used by the British Army for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) applications, the Parrot Anafi is a compact remotely piloted air system (RPAS) capable of being launched by patrols in under one minute to offer increased situational awareness.
