The Battle for the Spectrum: Inside the Invisible War for the Airwaves

Science, Technology

The electromagnetic spectrum has become one of the most fiercely contested resources on the modern battlefield. Drones, sensors, radars, jammers and tactical networks increasingly compete for usable frequencies, while every transmission risks revealing its source. Ukraine has turned this into a rapid contest of adaptation. For tactical communications companies such as Finland’s Bittium, the challenge

Terma’s Summer Deal Spree Pushes It Deeper into Europe’s Defence Architecture

Analysis, Business, Technology

A nationwide Danish counter-drone system, an acquisition in encrypted communications and new contracts in satellites and naval self-protection have materially changed the Terma story since the summer. The Danish group is increasingly selling integrated defence architecture rather than individual pieces of hardware, while radar, space and lifecycle services are becoming more important growth engines. Terma

Drone Warfare Q&A: What Do the Baltic Drone Incidents Mean for North-Eastern NATO?

Analysis, Technology

Long-range Ukrainian strike drones aimed at targets around the Leningrad Oblast have, in several cases, strayed or pushed beyond intended routes, crossing into the airspace of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Whether by navigation failure, electronic interference, or deliberate ambiguity, the result is the same: NATO airspace is no longer a distant observer of

Drones Are Not Wonder Weapons

Strategy

In discussions about drones, the first card typically played is “The battle tank is dead!” After a brief back-and-forth, the matter is dismissed by throwing down the “Drones are not wonder weapons” card. The first starts the conversation; the second ends it. Too often, they’re played so quickly in succession that the discussion dies before

Drone Wars Rewrite the Rules of Armour and Air Defence

Analysis

Drones have gone from gimmick to game-changer. In Ukraine, swarms of cheap UAVs now stalk everything from tanks to individual soldiers. Saab’s answer is a stripped-down drone killer designed for the battlefield’s new reality. The race is on: as RUSI observes, Russia today boasts “the most formidable counter-UAS capabilities on earth”. These cheap uncrewed systems—often

Accelerating Arms-Race: The Three‑Month Catch‑Up

Strategy, Technology

It takes roughly three months—sometimes less—for one side to blunt or neutralise a new weapon or tech deployed by the other. That time frame aligns with how Ukraine and Russia have structured their war economies: agile production, volunteer ecosystems, frontline feedback, and adaptive tactics. The race isn’t strategic—it’s industrial, digital, brutal—and evolving in real-time. Within
