Australia’s most prestigious defence business magazine

Established as a fortnightly industry newsletter back in 1982, the publication has been continually upgraded and is now well established and highly regarded in Defence and industry circles. ADBR consistently delivers high value-added commentary and analysis of the key issues facing the Australian Defence Force, and how consideration of these issues filters down into new business opportunities for commercial enterprises.

The rapidly-changing strategic outlook in Asia and the terrorism outlook has seen the Australian Government move to an annual cycle of revisions to its security analyses, meaning constant changes now occur to the structure of the organisation and the prioritisation of major capital expenditures.

ADBR keeps readers up to date, in detail, on these shifts in Defence policy and commercial activities. It has been in continuous publication for 20 years, and circulates throughout Australia and New Zealand, as well as into the United States and Europe.

ADBR delivers, on a monthly basis, a high-quality and succinct briefing on all the key defence business issues to corporate chief executives and business development managers, senior Defence officers, higher-level Departmental strategists and planners, acquisition project directors, Commonwealth and State politicians & their senior advisers.

In 2007, ADBR continues to forge further ahead of its competitors with our focus on highly researched and insightful articles. Great changes are taking place in the way advanced defence forces undertake combat, with more comprehensive surveillance information available to commanders from combinations of sensors and real-time displays of the battlefield.

This is often referred to as the “Revolution in Military Affairs” (RMA) or the ‘knowledge edge’. With the rise of the terrorism threat, the uptake of such concepts will substantially change the way defence companies organise themselves to exploit new market opportunities. Governments will also change their expectations of defence companies.

ADBR has over 21 years of continual publishing achievement, with an unrivalled record of innovation, consistent delivery of high value-added commentary and analysis for defence company executives and defence strategists.

In 2002, the magazine expanded coverage to national border protection, counter-terrorism and ‘homeland security’ audiences.

Insightful, authoritative and reliable publishing in a well established high quality full colour print format, that is - Australian Defence Business Review - our nation’s world class defence-business magazine.
