SURVEYING THE SCENE
Much of the focus of coalition operations in the skies over Iraq and Syria has centred around the offensive air strike element, but a significant number of assets are also deployed to provide surveillance and communications support to the mission.
UNDERWATER INTELLIGENCE
Submarines remain the stealthiest of major military platforms and can therefore get closer to targets of interest, which makes them uniquely useful for gathering COMINT and for providing communications electronic support.
IMAGE SEARCH
From smartphone apps to nano-satellites, a number of technology strands are converging to deliver new levels of geospatial data to military users.
PROGRESSIVE TECHNOLOGIES
In terms of digitising its army, Australia is blazing a pioneering trail in the Asia-Pacific region, while countries such as New Zealand, with fewer financial resources, are following in its footsteps.
NET GAINS
While much has been made of NATO members’ commitment to supplying conventional forces to the alliance, finding resources to defend the cyber domain is equally critical.
FINAL WORD
RADAR REFINEMENT
Advances in electronics are transforming the capabilities of defence equipment, particularly when it comes to naval radars. Gaston Marcantoni, director for surface multi-function radar activities at Thales, talks about the company’s work on next-generation systems.
