Issue 32

The treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans is an issue that can be challenging but needs to be addressed. In the latest issue of Global Defence Technology we profile the new digital tool and smartphone app Buddy, which aims to support therapy services and is being rolled out to help over 500 returning veterans.

We also profile the retrofuturistic designs of the past and take a look at new developments in robotics and find out how companies are working to equip military robots with ever better on-board decision-making capabilities.

We consider the challenges that need to be overcome in order to reach the goal of having an integrated air command and control (AirC2) capability among the Nato alliance.

Moreover, we explore how defence manufacturers are using simulation tools to build tailored air defence systems and look at how new research into unmanned systems could popularise the technology.

However tight budgets are, defence departments are always willing to invest in body armour and helmets. But with the US drawing out of Afghanistan and sequestration biting hard, we ask how technological innovation will keep the sector buoyant.

We also explore how anti-aircraft missiles have evolved since the launch of the first ever surface-to-air missile Nike Ajax 60 years ago, take a look at the US Navy’s new maritime warfare aircraft, the Boeing P-8A Poseidon, and round up the biggest topics from this year’s DSEI, where naval warships took centre stage.

Moreover, we investigate the drivers behind increased naval investment in South America and profile the vessels that will make up future fleets in the region.
