NATO is assembling a missile defence shield in Europe to protect member states from potential attacks by enemy nations. Despite the recent, more collaborative approach supported by the US under the Obama administration, the size of the project and the international spread of resources require both technological innovation and careful political negotiation to bring it together. In this issue we take a look at the technological and political driving forces behind the initiative.

We also look at innovations in ammunition and fuses, find out what it takes to keep a flight deck running smoothly, and investigate how new operational requirements are shaping the future of naval communications and networking.
