COMMENT: EVERY SUBMARINER’S NIGHTMARE
News that an Indonesian Navy submarine has sunk for unknown reasons in the Bali Sea during a torpedo drill raises questions about current safety standards.

SETTING SAIL EAST
The deployment of the Carrier Strike Group represents a major landmark for UK, EU and NATO engagement in the Asia-Pacific region. While the participating powers seek to contain China’s regional aggression, their success is dependent on many unknowns.
LEARNING THE LOCAL LINGO

THREATS FROM THE DEPTHS
The underwater battlespace is constantly evolving and increasing in complexity. Modern torpedo producers must innovate to remain effective against traditional and asymmetric threats.
FIGHTING THE BYTES
Robust cybersecurity for vessels and operations is not optional for navies – it is a necessity requiring a holistic approach.
