The maritime industry is undergoing a profound digital transformation. From AI optimizing voyages to autonomous vessels and digital twins, "smart ships" are reshaping global trade. This revolution promises unprecedented efficiency, safety, and sustainability, yet introduces new challenges in cybersecurity and workforce adaptation. Dive into the uncharted waters where silicon meets seawater, steering the future of maritime power.

Asia’s security today is shaped by the lessons of the 1962 Sino-Indian War. India’s disciplined, modern armed forces now provide credible deterrence, ensuring regional stability and contributing to a global balance of power from the Himalayas to the Indo-Pacific.

China’s coercion in the Himalayas has followed a consistent playbook from 1962 to Galwan 2020. While the PLA relies on deception and ambiguity, India’s professional restraint and strategic deterrence have reshaped the regional balance, offering lessons for global security and Europe’s understanding of authoritarian strategies.

The 1962 Sino-Indian War redefined Asia’s security landscape, exposing China’s expansionist ambitions and creating a lasting fault line across the Himalayas. Six decades later, the legacy of betrayal, mistrust, and strategic rivalry continues to shape India’s defense posture and the broader Indo-Pacific balance of power.

ICEYE’s potential $2.5B valuation highlights a shift from periodic imagery to persistent, taskable SAR intelligence. Defense and dual-use sectors now prioritize real-time, predictive awareness, signaling a new era in EO and ISR where actionable intelligence is the true strategic asset.

Africa’s emerging satellite programs, from Angola’s ANGOSAT-2 to Egypt’s EO initiatives, are laying the foundation for military-adjacent applications. Dual-use capabilities in maritime awareness, border security, and secure communications highlight the continent’s potential to integrate civil space assets with strategic defense objectives.

China’s nuclear tests at Lop Nur between 1964 and 1996 left a hidden human tragedy in Xinjiang. Forced displacement, radiation exposure, and Beijing’s ongoing denial have condemned generations of Uyghurs to illness and injustice. Decades later, calls for transparency, compensation, and accountability remain unanswered.

India will host the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue 2025 in New Delhi, bringing together naval leaders, policymakers, and experts to advance maritime security, capacity-building, and regional cooperation under the Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative. The dialogue emphasizes practical solutions for shared challenges across the Indo-Pacific.

East Bengal, once the economic heart of Pakistan, was drained of its wealth and dignity to feed West Pakistan’s ambitions. From economic exploitation and political repression to cultural erasure and genocide, this historical account reveals how colonial greed within a divided nation sowed the seeds of Bangladesh’s liberation in 1971.

Partner with the only global B2B leader turning innovation into influence through whitepapers, podcasts, and thought leadership that move markets.

China’s nuclear journey, from its first test in 1964 to today’s advanced missile force, reshaped regional power dynamics. What began as deterrence against “nuclear blackmail” evolved into a tool of coercion. Beijing’s arsenal now serves as both shield and sword—protecting expansionist aims across the Himalayas and South China Sea, turning deterrence into strategic arrogance.

With nearly 30,000 French military personnel deployed across four continents, from the Sahel to the Baltic, coordinating modern military operations has become impossible without space-based systems. Satellites provide the communications, intelligence, navigation, and early warning that enable France's global military presence. Yet as space becomes contested, France faces a critical choice: invest heavily in orbital capabilities or risk strategic obsolescence in future conflic

Aksai Chin, a desolate plateau between India and China, remains one of Asia’s most contested frontiers. Born from unresolved colonial boundaries, the region became the flashpoint of the 1962 war and continues to shape the geopolitics of the Himalayas. Decades later, military standoffs, infrastructure races, and competing territorial claims reveal that the conflict over Aksai Chin is far from over; it's an unfinished war still defining India-China relations.

Military satellites are no longer just tools in orbit—they’re central to defense strategy. Resilience, rapid deployment, and operational integration define the new era. Explore how adaptive satellites, commercial partnerships, and emerging technologies are reshaping the battlefield in space.

Discover how space startups, scaleups, and marketers can rise above the noise in a booming industry. In our webinar “From Earth to Orbit”, experts Omkaar Nikam, Alex Cresniov, Daniela Jovic, and Ed Fyfe share insights on storytelling, branding, marketing clarity, and design to build trust, attract investors, and make space technology truly stand out.

The 2009 Maersk Alabama hijacking spurred a multilateral maritime effort that turned the Gulf of Aden from a piracy hotspot into a corridor of safety. Today, Somalia’s growing web of bilateral defense pacts risks undoing that progress. Commodore Ranjit Rai (Retd) warns that while bilateral deals promise quick gains, they may fracture hard-won coordination, undermining security, sovereignty, and stability across vital sea lanes.

Mass protests in Pakistan-Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (POJK) highlight growing resistance against Islamabad’s governance. Once a hub for Pakistan’s Kashmir strategy, POJK is now rebelling over political exclusion, economic marginalisation, and resource exploitation. Crackdowns have deepened local anger, exposing Pakistan’s governance crisis and weakening its Kashmir narrative, with far-reaching implications for South Asia’s stability.

Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) has signed an agreement with LatConnect 60 to provide Integrated Mission Services for LC60’s SWIRSAT Earth Observation constellation. Announced at IAC 2025 in Sydney, the partnership—backed by the Australian Space Agency and WA Government—highlights Western Australia’s growing role in space innovation.
