Africa aerospace and defence 2008: given its suburban Ysterplaat airbase with large hangars and proximity to the city's harbour facilities, South Africa's Cape Town is an ideal location for a tri-service defence equipment show. This year Russia and China came in force.	Braybrook, Roy	2472

Air ops: at their best, special operations involve high-value objectives being achieved by small forces in difficult conditions and in the face of numerically superior opponents. Succeeding against the odds depends not only on surprise, superior training and dedication, but also on special equipment and support from a secure rear base.	Braybrook, Roy	5362

Choppers on the trend: like helicopters many years ago, rotary-wing drones went through their own period of suspicion in terms of reliability and safety issues and are now definitely being regarded as serious 'grown-up' options, particularly onboard ships.	Biass, Eric H.	1255

Defendory's 30th: back in 1978, Defendory was the first defence exhibition of its kind--in other words tri-service and international--and set an example for a number of similar defence shows that have since sprung out of the ground in the four corners of the world.	Biass, Eric H.	2140

Land: light but 'hot': special operations forces units historically operate at the 'light' end of the equipment spectrum and rely primarily upon stealth for their survivability. However, the employment of such forces in extended campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq has influenced the need for a higher level of protected mobility for certain missions than is offered by transportation derived from light utility vehicles.

Naval craft design under civilian influence: modern naval design and construction techniques are evolving to reduce the final cost of a naval vessel to the taxpayer. These same design and construction techniques are also improving a ship's performance, resilience, service life and environmental impact.	Withington, Thomas	2543

Synthetic view for drones: the Synthetic Aperture Radar (Sar) is an essential subsystem for military air-to-ground and air-to-sea operations. Giving a highly detailed view of the terrain below, a Sar-equipped aircraft can provide its operator with a picture of the battlefield that is so sharp in detail it resembles a high-resolution photograph.
