The European Defence Agency is founded on the principle of pooling resources and knowledge, but its greatest benefit could extend beyond just conflict-ready interoperability.
Go deeper with GlobalData
We find out how EDA exercises help to establish mutual trust and comradeship between participants. We also explore a new technology that could enable soldiers to operate all the systems they carry with one hand, and look at the progress of biometrics for the battlefield. We also profile recent milestones in the development of unmanned systems, explore a cutting-edge power conservation system for UAVs, and find out why the US Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship has come under criticism.

As the development of electromagnetic pulse-like weapons begin to move from science-fiction to reality, we profile Boeing’s CHAMP missile and look at an Israeli grenade designed to obliterate all communications without causing any loss of life.
We also explore the potential use of crowd-sourcing in DARPA’s FANG programme, investigate if the US Air Force’s plan to create an all-stealth fleet will require trade-offs in range and payload, and take a look at the X-37B and its Chinese equivalent.
