Editor's letter

Welcome to the 157th issue of Global Defence Technology magazine.

As defence news reporting and intelligence gathering cements in 24/7 cycle, we feel that, more than ever before, it is important to provide a space where in-depth analysis of procurement decisions and programme updates can be given the space and time to have the most impact.

As of this issue, we are moving to a quarterly edition format. This change is deliberate—and it’s designed to make the magazine better for you.

Publishing quarterly allows us to step back from the news cycles and present the kind of considered coverage that stands up over time.

It also lets us invest more time in the craft of the magazine itself—more detailed features, sharper visuals, improved data and graphics where they add clarity, and curated sections that are easier to navigate.

As ever, Global Defence Technology will continue to bring you all the latest insight and defence intelligence analysis from across the battlespace. 

Richard Thomas, editor-in-chief
