An unnerving environment: <> General William Wallace, the Commanding General of the US Army Training and Doctrine Command, told delegates at the 2008 Armor Conference at Fort Knox, Kentucky an 5 May. If current trends continue almost 60% (five billion) of population will live in urban areas by 2030.	Kemp, Ian; Keggler, Johnny	10270

Digital warriors: many armies have opted for the incremental deployment of soldier system technologies to meet the immediate needs of ongoing combat operations. In an unusual twist of events, France appears to be leading the pack in terms of both calendar and deployed capabilities with its Felin.	Kemp, Ian; Biass, Eric H.	3068

Eurosatory 2008 the best so far: this year's Eurosatory land equipment exhibition near Paris was bristling with ground-up novelties, particularly in the field of armoured vehicles, reflecting the realisation that ad-hoc vehicles are what is needed today, as opposed to makeshift add-on protection kits for existing vehicles, against rocket-propelled grenades and roadside bombs.	Biass, E.H.; Keggler, J.; Kemp, I.	2546

Naval C4I systems: naval command and control stays out of the limelight. The thousands of miles of wires and the hundreds of computer screens are rarely seen on news footage from the global war on terror, or during humanitarian intervention and stability operations. For the media, it lacks the 'sex appeal' of troops in combat, or helicopters lowering aid packages to stricken villagers.	Withington, Thomas	2562

Sailor beware--the antiship missile: the see-saw balance of effectiveness between anti-ship missiles and target defences appears to have been tipped decisively by a new generation of long-range strike weapons, using a high-Mach approach, high-G manoeuvres or a near-vertical descent. Time to man the lifeboats?	Braybrook, Roy	1887

The modern armoured car: the asymmetric threat has spurred the demand for 4 x 4 light armoured vehicles capable of carrying from two to six persons far use by combat, combat support and combat service support units. Often these vehicles replace unarmoured light utility vehicles.	Kemp, Ian; Biass, Eric H.	3963
