Like many forces around the world, the British army is a force in flux. It is trying to balance financial austerity with restructuring its forces and getting back to preparing to fight wars away from the major distraction of constant operations over the last decade.

The EADS Innovation Works site at Bangalore exists to prepare the future and explore the synergies for the group and is working on several important projects at present. Interacting with select media in Bangalore on his first visit to India after taking charge as Head of EADS Innovation Works in June this year, Sébastien Remy outlined his plans for the Bangalore centre, "We are focussing on the long term activities like the emerging technologies and solutions". He adds that the Bangalore centre is "working with Cassidian India to optimise performance of radars something that could be fully applicable to existing products. This on-going research work has resulted in the filing of a patent."

| Summary/Abstract |
Today's U.S. Navy was born (or perhaps reborn) in the War of 1812. Though the Fleet was founded during the first year of the American Revolution, by 1812 it was still a small coastal navy with a limited ability to project power, protect ports, or control the sea. Those shortfalls hurt the United States in the War of 1812 and showed Americans very clearly the importance of a capable navy to protect the nation's security and economic prosperity. At the same time, the characteristics that eventually carried the small U.S. Fleet to victories against the British-tactical proficiency, forward operations, and warfighting readiness-became hallmarks of our Navy that endure to this day.

| Summary/Abstract |
Infantry modernisation has not received due importance in past decades. This must be treated as an 'emergent' requirement in consideration of the emerging threats from within and outside the country and against the backdrop of the level of sophistication being achieved by terrorists and insurgents. India must be prepared for short, intense hi-tech wars, in addition to expanding terrorism, asymmetric and fourth generation wars where the soldier faces the brunt at the cutting edge. Delay in modernisation has a direct bearing on combat efficiency in coping with threats to national security and may cost the lives of the infantrymen.

This article discusses the origin and significance of the designation of the area surrounding Japan as the Asia-Pacific region. It then outlines the members of the region and the various organizations in which they participate. After describing the economic and cultural achievements to date, the article points out the issues challenging the Asia-Pacific region and encourages leaders in this "security complex" to remove obstacles to peace and security going forward in the twenty-first century.

| Summary/Abstract |
Despite fair economic conditions in Poland, the Polish armed forces are currently forced to reduce expenditure due to budget constraints. Only a few procurement programmes may be launched in the near future, while some that have already being running may be curtailed or terminated. All the while the Polish defence industry scores only moderate results abroad and its still focused on the internal market.

| Summary/Abstract |
With the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) expiring in 2020, the EU needs to revisit its energy technology policy for the post-2020 horizon and to establish a policy framework that fosters the achievement of ambitious EU commitments for decarbonization by 2050. We discuss options for a post-2020 EU energy technology policy, taking account of uncertain technology developments, uncertain carbon prices and the highly competitive global market for energy technologies. We propose a revised SET Plan that enables policy makers to be pro-active in pushing innovation in promising technologies, no matter what policy context will be realized in the future. In particular, a revised SET Plan should include a more technology-specific focus, provide the basis for planning and prioritization among decarbonization technologies, and should be based on a comprehensive approach across sectors. Selected technology targets and EU funding of innovation should be in line with the SET Plan prioritization.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article explores the trends in surveillance technology for land combat which are categorised as on-demand, enduring and persistent. These trends include small robots and throwbots that provide the ability to see a structure over a wall, old technologies in the form of high technological balloons, and wireless network of micro-mechanical systems. It notes that technological innovations including the proliferation of sensors may change nations' combat capabilities by 2020.

During a visit to the Russian federal nuclear centre at Sarov in February 2012, Vladimir, Putin set the task of long term planning in the sphere of armaments, naming the upper limit: for the upcoming 50 years. Speaking as he met with senior commanders from the defence and security ministries and agencies in the Kremlin on November 19, 2013, the President and supreme commander-in-chief of the Russian federations said: we need to fully conceive the nature and prospects of the politico-military processes that are unfolding in the contemporary world and to clearly understand what potential threats may affect the situation around our country.

| Summary/Abstract |
From a biophysical perspective, woody biomass resources are large enough to cover a substantial share of the world's primary energy consumption in 2050. However, these resources have alternative uses and their accessibility is limited, which tends to decrease their competitiveness with respect to other forms of energy. Hence, the key question of woody biomass use for energy is not the amount of resources, but rather their price. In this study we consider the question from the perspective of energy wood supply curves, which display the available amount of woody biomass for large-scale energy production at various hypothetical energy wood prices. These curves are estimated by the Global Biosphere Management Model (GLOBIOM), which is a global partial equilibrium model of forest and agricultural sectors. The global energy wood supply is estimated to be 0-23 Gm3/year (0-165 EJ/year) when energy wood prices vary in a range of 0-30$/GJ (0-216$/m3). If we add household fuelwood to energy wood, then woody biomass could satisfy 2-18% of world primary energy consumption in 2050. If primary forests are excluded from wood supply then the potential decreases up to 25%.
