Review for defence and security industry 2/2026

Dear Readers,

in this second quarterly issue of the year, we bring you a number of engaging interviews, particularly with prominent representatives of the state administration, as well as our regular presentation of the Czech defence and security industry. Review, the media platform of the Defence and Security Industry Association of the Czech Republic (AOBP), is published on the occasion of the AOBP General Assembly, and the fact that the Association’s membership base has now grown to more than 260 companies is also reflected in the content of this issue, as it is primarily AOBP members who are presenting themselves from across the industrial sector.

In addition to an interview with the Association’s President and the Annual Activity Report, we also introduce several new member companies. We wish them every success within the Association and hope they will find not only valuable information and a strong professional background, but also meaningful support for their activities. It is precisely the domestic industry that forms the backbone of the state’s defence capability during times of crisis.

This edition also focuses on presenting the security forces of the Czech Republic, particularly the Police, the Prison Service, as well as the Fire Rescue Service. This community is becoming increasingly important for the defence and security industry, and we are pleased that these institutions regularly use our pages to share up-to-date information that can be of value to our industry.

The magazine’s main mission is to help improve communication between the state and industry within the defence and security community. I firmly believe and hope that, thanks to the diversity of topics covered in this issue of Review, every one of you will find something of interest.
