In a time of widespread concern about international terrorism, governments are acutely aware of the potential threats posed by CBRNe weapons. CBRNe is an all-encompassing term for weapons employed by terrorists that can inflict not only mass destruction, but also widespread illness and disruption of civilian life or infrastructure. The acronym has changed over the years as new threats have entered the terrorist arsenal with the current version standing for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and (improvised) explosives.
In this issue we investigate how military forces are preparing to respond to potential CBRNe attacks, and how technology developed for the battlefield is being adopted to protect civilians against modern terrorist weapons.

Next Issue
In the light of recent cyber attacks on defence organisations and contractors, much is being done to protect sensitive data and facilities. We investigate the weapons the military is using in the war against hostile hackers, and how the private sector will be involved.
We also profile high-tech tanks currently available or in the pipeline, explore the next generation of naval navigation technology, and look at cutting-edge training aircraft that are set to revolutionise fighter pilot training by merging real flying with virtual aerial warfare.
