DEFENCE MANAGEMENT JOURNAL

Introduced with a foreword from Commander John Muxworthy of the UKNDA, edition 47 of Defence Management Journal, which is distributed to members of the armed forces through the BFPO and throughout the wider defence community, includes a wide range of articles on defence management issues.

Continuing from his article in the last edition, General Sir Mike Jackson, along with Cate Pye from PA Consulting Group, considers the key elements of a future strategic defence review. This article is complemented with a piece from Rear Admiral Rees Ward, who contemplates Bernard Gray's findings and looks to the defence review from an industry perspective. With a more specific article, Olivier Grouille of RUSI considers how UAVs may fit into the UK's future defence agenda.

There are numerous high profile exclusive articles within this edition. We feature views from Lieutenant General Hans-Otto Budde, who considers priorities for operational success. Air Vice Marshal Carl Dixon joins Victor Chavez to discuss the importance of UK communications and intelligence capability and efforts to make accessible what is a vital, but highly technical area.

From the shadow ministerial team, there are two separate articles from Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones and Crispin Blunt, who consider cyber-terrorism and plans to tackle the issue.

Additionally, AI and robotics expert Professor Noel Sharkey reflects on the evolution of UAVs, their future and ethical considerations.
