| Summary/Abstract |
Since the Civil War, when Union Soldiers utilised hot air balloons to serve as a surveillance platform, lighter than air technology has been a part of the military's inventory. As US forces began a troop surge in Afghanistan while maintaining security in Iraq the need to provide soldiers with a persistent view of the battlefield was paramount.
The primary goal of Millennium Airship is to design, engineer, build, market and operate the world's first Heavy-Lift Air Vehicle that is lighter-than-air, all-weather, amphibious semi-rigid, multi-mission, hybrid. The key feature of this aircraft will be in that it is so manoeuvrable that it can operate in and out of virtually anywhere (land or sea) where there is enough space to accommodate its size.

| Summary/Abstract |
Australian defense policy suggests a case where strategic ambitions exceed the country's direct security needs. But there are some peculiar reasons for this state of affairs. These include the relationship between the size of the Australian continent and its proximity to maritime Asia; Australia's sense of itself as a medium power with a strong interest in the future of the wider regional strategic balance; and the long-standing judgment that Australia needs a capacity for independent military action in its own area because even its closest allies cannot always be expected to help out. The Rudd government's 2009 Defence White Paper, the first such document in nearly a decade, confirms this pattern of thinking. In particular it reflects Australia's interest in not falling behind the defense modernization in the wider region of strong and rising powers (including, but by no means limited to, China). It helps return a sense of coherence to Australian policy which went missing in the post-9/11 era. But the new White Paper risks pushing that familiar logic too far. The Australian Defence Force envisaged for 2030 includes a larger flotilla of new-generation submarines, 100 Joint Strike Fighters alongside other capable combat aircraft, air warfare destroyers and new frigates. Many of these platforms, the White Paper suggests, could be armed with cruise missiles. This leaves no doubt that the writers of this review are serious about maritime operations in the Asian century. But one is left wondering whether the Rudd government and its successors can and will deliver on the whole package, and whether a more optimistic assessment of the region's strategic future could allow for a defense force which is closer to what has gone before.

| Summary/Abstract |
A U.S. congressman provided new details in late April about the Obama administration's allegation that Russia may be breaching a key U.S.-Russian arms control treaty, stating that Moscow may have tested a cruise missile from a prohibited launcher. At a joint April 29 hearing of two House Foreign Affairs Committee panels, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) said that Russia claims to have tested an intermediate-range missile for use at sea, which is allowed under the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, but that Moscow used "what appears to be an operational, usable ground-based launcher," which is not allowed. Sherman said that "it appears as if [the Russians] were developing a ground-based capacity for this intermediate missile.

| Summary/Abstract |
Britain's nuclear deterrent remains under keen examination as both the general election and defence review loom. In an American perspective on the issue, Franklin Miller argues that not only is a deterrent capability necessary, but also that the UK's defence will only be assured by continuous submarine-based capability: the alternatives do not stand up to scrutiny.

| Summary/Abstract |
The maritime prowess of India is witnessing impressive advancements at a time when the Indian Navy is undergoing a complete transformation to reincarnate itself into a 'Blue Water' force and project its power and reach far beyond the littoral waters.
In the wake of rapidly evolving global strategic equations with a heightened focus on the Asia-Pacific region, India is gearing up to not only strengthen and secure its position in its backyard - the crucial Indian Ocean Region (IOR), but also venturing out far beyond - from the Horn of Africa and Red Sea in Asia/Africa to the Western Mediterranean in Europe
