The US space launch market, so long dominated by United Launch Alliance, is entering a period of evolution with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 certified for national security space missions and the US Air Force seeking to transition off the Russian RD-180 engines used on the Atlas V rocket. We ask how these developments will change the game.
We also explore India’s ambitions to grow its domestic defence manufacturing industry through a stronger partnership with the US and hear from IFS about the biggest IT trends and challenges for the industry. Moreover, we find out how Airbus’ new multirole jammer promises a better solution to jamming RCIED triggers, and take a look at the strategy behind a new EU naval force mission tackling trafficking in Libya and the role of the private shipping sector in supporting the effort.
