Defence Analysis is a monthly publication that aims to provide defence businesses with the information that they require, how and when they need it.

The unique niche of Defence Analysis is as the name suggests - not news; not marketing features; but analysis. In today's defence business, there are numerous sources of information, but time to sort through them is short. Defence Analysis takes the most important, interesting and vital stories and examines them in the detail they deserve. We do not necessarily claim to be comprehensive (who wants to read yet more lists of products and countries?), but we are incisive and even provocative.

Defence Analysis is also specialised and selective and key to this is the in-depth coverage of such issues as:

• European defence industry restructuring and rationalisation

• European defence policy and budgets, especially the UK and France, but with all countries being covered in depth

• Gulf region defence policy and procurement

• The military doctrine behind defence procurement

• Factors driving regional and product procurement

• Economic issues affecting procurement, such as fluctuations in commodity prices, especially in key markets such as oil, natural gas and metals

• Company news concentrating on the facts underlying the raw data of financial results

As a newsletter, Defence Analysis is independent in its stance - issues are analysed on facts only. Defence Analysis does not take advertising, thus further ensuring its impartiality.

The ability to stand back from major stories, to see the full background and cover all the angles, is more and more important in today's defence business. The result is the unique coverage that Defence Analysis provides.
