NAVAL FORCES
enters a new era

In line with the great success of NAVAL FORCES achieved over more than four decades, we decided to extend the reach of this leading international forum for maritime power. The first edition was published in January 1980. All regular editions and series issues are aimed at countries and shipyards, naval decision-makers with reference to NATO and naval policy. Addressing the demands of industry, governments and the Armed Forces, it provides its worldwide readership with exclusive insights into different navies’ maritime strategy, doctrine and procurement via exclusive analyses, features and interviews. Responding to strategic operational and technological shifts is always a major issue.

NAVAL FORCES will be the first place to turn when the international readership needs data on modern warship designs or naval subsystems, shipbuilders, naval equipment manufacturers, R&D activities, technology innovations and trends, military operations and tactics, or any other bit of equipment. The coverage is unique in its breadth of topics covering six main domains: surface, underwater, air, space, land and cyber.
