Global Defence Technology: Issue 37 March 2014

The shape of ground warfare is set to change radically over the next few decades under the influence of factors as diverse as climate change, changing population demographics and new sources of energy. We find out about the major drivers of conflict to 2040 and explore new military technologies that could come to the fore during that time.

We also investigate new cyber threats against military satellite systems, take a look at the next generation of radically designed helicopters that can fly higher and faster than ever, and even without a pilot, and profile the world’s best main battle tanks and aerial refuelling tankers. Moreover, we find out how the largest-ever archaeological offshore map of the D-Day beaches was created and review stunning footage of sunken allied vessels off the Normandy coast.

Next issue preview

Security concerns for the Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia were even higher than those for London in 2012. We review what security measures were put in place and whether they can be considered a success.

We also examine the nuclear arsenal owned by key nations around the world, take a look at the booming biometrics market and review technological innovation that came out of urgent operational requirements during the conflicts
in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Moreover, we investigate emerging threats against military satellites and the most effective measures to protect such vital networks, and explore shifts of power and the increased naval procurement activity in the Asia Pacific region.
