Defence Analysis
About Us
Defence Analysis is the monthly defence newsletter that has become a 'must read' publication in the UK and Europe. Launched in 1988, the key to its success has been the ability to tackle difficult subjects with in-depth analysis, and yet also with common sense writing.
The heart of Defence Analysis is simple: analysis. This means looking at defence topics from all angles, seeing what is important, what isn't, and then coming to conclusions about events and trends.
Defence Analysis covers subjects such as:
• Defence budgets . Primarily European budgets, looking at procurement and budget trends.
• Defence procurement . Following and analysing procurement programmes, seeing how they develop, and which bidders are winning or losing.
• Defence exports . Analysing defence export data from leading worldwide players to see trends in all market areas and segments.
• Defence markets . Analysing market sectors such as combat aircraft, special mission aircraft, armoured fighting vehicles, and warships.
• Defence industry . Looking at the major players, and how they are working in the defence market.
• Defence politics . Analysing how politics in different ministries and countries affect broad defence trends, as well as individual programmes.
Few subjects have not been covered in-depth by Defence Analysis at some stage, and few will stay out of our microscope.
News can be got almost anywhere: analysis is rare.
