23 Jul 12. Military applications will continue to grow and drive the fundamental development of semiconductor technologies such as gallium nitride (GaN). This was highlighted with product announcements during the recent IMS 2012 conference, as reviewed in the Strategy Analytics Advanced Defense Systems (ADS) service report, “Defense Electronics Industry Review: June 2012.” The report also details significant defense industry news, including product announcements, milestones, contract activity and defense industry financial performance. Strategy Analytics sponsored a breakfast session in conjunction with Microwave Journal during IMS 2012, with participation from Cree, Nitronex, NXP, RFMD,
TriQuint and UMS. The presentations confirmed the applicability of GaN to communications, electronic warfare, and radar needs. (Source: Yahoo!/BUSINESS WIRE)

Business Monitor International’s United States Defence and Security Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, defence and security associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on United States’s defence and security industry. Following the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, which was completed on December
18 2011, the country is now contemplating the eventual withdrawal of its forces from Afghanistan; a process that will begin in mid-2012, and is expected to be completed by 2015. As the US reduces its footprint in the country, it will hand over an increasing share of the security burden to the Afghan National Army and police force. Despite the end of NATO’s involvement in Afghanistan being on the horizon, relations between Washington DC and Kabul continue to be strained, following a string of high profile incidents where Afghan civilians have been murdered, copies of the Qur’an destroyed and Taliban corpses desecrated.

Over the long term, the US will make a major reduction in the size of its strategic nuclear weapons inventory. Currently, around 5,000 operational and reserve nuclear warheads are in the possession of the US armed forces, including around 200 tactical nuclear weapons. The New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) agreement between Russia and the US will see the Department of Defense reducing its air-launched and sea-launched nuclear weapons delivery systems.
