We also look behind the Australian military’s plan to focus more strongly on protecting the country’s mineral resources, ask why investment in portable power systems for soldiers is declining despite recent breakthroughs, and check out DARPA’s programme to develop insect-sized UAVs.
Moreover, we explore the US Navy’s research into swimmable diving suits that can go to unprecedented depths, and take a look at Raytheon’s vision for multilayered maritime defence.

As digital systems increasingly control real-world assets, cyber-defence is now a vital element of national security. In the next issue we talk about critical infrastructure protection with Israel-based Waterfall Security Solutions.
We also investigate the military capabilities on the Korean Peninsula and the measures put in place to counter potential attacks from North Korea. Moreover, we ask if the RAF’s Storm Shadow missile is proof that multinational co-operation on arms procurement can weather the shortages hewn by dwindling budgets.
Plus, we ask BAE Systems why its radar system developed for the Royal Navy’s Type 23 frigates could be the most sophisticated radar system ever built.
