With defence organisations worldwide spending millions on the development of wearable solar technology, have we come any closer to seeing deployed soldiers with solar power systems? We take a look at the latest progress in this field and the challenges to be overcome.
As demand for bandwidth on military satellites is outweighing what is currently available, we ask whether the commercial sector can deliver additional capacity for non-critical communications. We also find out how militaries can address sustainability in a wider context, take a look at the crucial role of helicopter external load missions, and review the US Pentagon’s naval strategy for the Arctic region.

The shape of ground warfare is set to change radically over the next few decades under the influence of factors as diverse as climate change, changing population demographics and new sources of energy. We find out about the major drivers of conflict to 2040 and explore new military technologies that could come to the fore during that time.
We also investigate new cyber threats against military satellite systems, take a look at the next generation of radically designed helicopters that can fly higher and faster than ever, and even without a pilot, and profile the world’s best main battle tanks. Moreover, we find out about the largest archaeological offshore map of the D-Day beaches ever created and review stunning footage of sunken allied vessels off the Normandy coast.
