• Last ditch air-defence: the ultimate umbrella: originally intended to safeguard forward troops from direct attacks by low-flying aircraft, very-short-range air-defence (V-Shorad) guided missiles are being developed into high-lethality systems to protect ground and naval units, against not only aircraft, but also cruise missiles, reconnaissance and attack drones and air-launched tactical weapons, including precision-guided bombs.

• Security to 100 atmospheres: fools rush in where angels fear to tread--but in modern naval warfare it is the robots or Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) which are now being sent to discover and destroy the hidden secrets, traps and dangers that lurk deep in Poseidon's realm.

• The UAV as sensor platform -- from pioneer to global hawk: the development of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) has witnessed some important successes, but also many failures, and much remains to be accomplished. Armed services want real-time imagery, a quantum reduction in drone attrition rate and operators who do not need pilot ratings. Users also need to decide who is to receive UAV imagery and how it is exploited.

• Corvettes to sail smartly: nearly half a century ago the major navies' last corvettes were being towed ignominiously to the scrap yards. But over the past two decades there has been a renaissance in this category; not just among Third World navies but also some of the major naval powers, indeed even the Royal Navy has shown interest in this type of warship.

• Corvette cutting edge gets sharper: the corvette has not just replaced the fast attack craft, which dominated the export market some 20 or 30 years ago, but it continues to evolve into a multi-role platform, which further enhances its value. The weapon systems associated with corvettes are a yardstick for marking the importance of these ships.
