| Summary/Abstract |
Two news items regarding the DRDO long-range cruise missile mission need to be flagged. First, in a rare admission by a DRDO chief, M. Natarajan, days before his retirement on 1 September 2009, said that, "The lack of success in developing indigenous propulsion systems for the country's major programmes is a cause of concern. Affected are programmes such as the aero engines for fighter aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles, engines for tanks and naval propulsion and ramjet and hypersonic propulsion for missiles."

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the effects the drone strike campaign in Pakistan is having on Al Qaeda Central. To that end, it constructs a theoretical model to explain how the campaign is affecting Al Qaeda's capacity to carry out terrorist attacks in the United States and Western Europe. Although the results of one single empirical case cannot be generalised, they nonetheless constitute a preliminary element for the construction of a broader theoretical framework concerning the use of armed drones as part of a counterterrorism strategy.

| Summary/Abstract |
One would be hard pressed to find any aircraft manufacturer, anywhere in the world today, which has on its plate such a vast range of aeronautical programmes as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) does today. At a time when the defence budgets have been sliced to shreds in most countries, HAL rests in the enviable position of having aircraft programmes across the board. The Indian Air Force (IAF) expects to spend in excess of USD 35 billion by 2022 (when the 13th plan ends) on new acquisitions and its existing commitments. HAL will have to manage and deliver the indigenous design, development and manufacture of fixed wing (Tejas and Sitara) and rotary wing (Dhruv, Light Combat Helicopter, Light Utility Helicopter) platforms, along with Russian collaboration for the 5th generation PMF (Sukhoi T-50) and Medium Transport Aircraft (MTA).
