Global Defence Technology: Issue 29

As digital systems increasingly control real-world assets, cyber-defence is now a vital element of national security. In this issue we talk about critical infrastructure protection with Israel-based Waterfall Security Solutions.

We also investigate the military capabilities on the Korean Peninsula and the measures put in place to counter potential attacks from North Korea. Moreover, we ask if the RAF’s Storm Shadow missile is proof that multinational co-operation on arms procurement can weather the shortages hewn by dwindling budgets.

Plus, we find out why radar procurement has remained strong despite spending being reduced in many other areas.
