Editor's letter

Welcome to the 158th issue of Global Defence Technology magazine.

Quantity competes with quality in the training systems market as militaries explore how best to utilise blended and synthetic training environments to prepare personnel across the warfighting domains for real-world operations.

Away from the digital, what benefits might new modular training environments offer, leveraging the physicality missing from synthetic environments?

Elsewhere, Europe’s armoured vehicle needs are surging, particularly in areas such as main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, as the continent’s re-armament programme continues.

In addition, our reporting team explores areas such as loitering munitions, fixed-wing fighters, battlefield tourniquet advances , and much more. 

All of the industry news, comment, and analysis available in Global Defence Technology leverages the GlobalData intelligence network, offering unparalleled insight to the data-driven factors and thematics driving defence.
