Global Defence Technology - New Issue Out Now
This month we round up the latest technologies for the deactivation of IEDs that are being deployed in conflict zones. We also investigate how military bases and critical infrastructure can be kept secure, look at new developments in the field of flight simulation training, and check in with major current sonar projects. > Click here to read your free copy |
Sustainability Management in the Defense Industry 2010-12
ICD Research's latest report, 'Sustainability Management in the Defense Industry 2010-12', identified that only a minority of defence ministries consider carbon emissions as a selection criterion for sustainable procurement, a viewpoint that is shared by 78% of military and civil defence contractors and consultancy, IT and other service providers.

Miniature Liquid Level Sensors Improve Mission Optimisation for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
Mission optimisation is a key factor for both military and commercial users of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). This could mean maximising payload, flying further or flying longer. A critical factor in mission optimisation is fuel management. Operators need precise fuel level information otherwise missions may have to be completed earlier than necessary. With some UAVs costing in excess of $35m, losing a vehicle due to lack of fuel is not a desirable outcome.
Gill Sensors has developed a range of highly accurate and reliable sensors that provide the vehicle operator with precise information about fuel availability.
