| Summary/Abstract |
China's aggressive actions in the East China Sea, combined with other factors, especially North Korea's continuing intransigence, have created an increasingly hostile security environment for Japan. Its response to these events can be seen in the impressive political rebirth of Shinzo Abe and the Liberal Democratic Party. While Abe, currently serving as prime minister for a second time, was elected largely because of his economic policies and the ineptitude of the formerly ruling Democratic Party of Japan, he has used his mandate to press forward with long needed, albeit controversial, defense and security reforms that indicate the seriousness with which Tokyo takes its current situation. With China looming up in front of them, and Pyongyang posing lesser but still worrisome threats, the Japanese have become acutely aware of the fact that their Self-Defense Forces (SDF) have one hundred and forty thousand ground troops, one hundred and forty-one maritime vessels, and four hundred and ten aircraft, while China's People's Liberation Army has one million six hundred thousand troops and North Korea has one million soldiers. Meanwhile, North Korea maintains a significant, if decaying, navy and air force, with one hundred and ninety vessels and approximately six hundred aircraft. China's much more capable maritime and air assets include nine hundred and seventy vessels and two thousand five hundred and eighty aircraft.

| Summary/Abstract |
The author examines whether the decline of the British Merchant Navy and consequent loss of strategic sealift compromise our security and that of our dependencies. The conclusion is that although there is such shipping available from other sources, such reliance on other nations is potentially substantial risk.

| Summary/Abstract |
The 'pivot' toward the Asia-Pacific region is a lofty objective, but maritime assets available to execute it-existing and planned-are simply not enough.

| Summary/Abstract |
Maritime communication has been one of the most important aspect for navies all across the world. Since modern day combat involves a significant use of naval assets, efficient communication between various ships, submarines, aircraft would place the nation in an advantageous position. Globally, navies constantly update their communication networks which not only provide seamless communication between different maritime assets, but also detect and relay necessary information about the enemy.
The Indian Navy's recent acquisition P-8I has indigenous communication devices manufactured by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). Boeing has delivered its fourth P-8I long range maritime reconnaissance aircraft in May, which has BEL's Data Link II communications system, Avantel's mobile satellite system and the Electronic Corporation of India Limited's (ECIL) speech secrecy system fitted onboard. BEL has also provided the P-8I aircraft with its Identification Friend and Foe (IFF) system. The aircraft also has Raytheon's APY-10 surveillance radar that can provide precise information in all weather, day and night missions.
