Review for defence and security industry 4/2024

Dear readers,

The fourth issue of Review for defence and security industry is coming out at the dusk of a new year. At the time when even Europe is at war. Relatively heavy regional conflicts are unfolding almost everywhere around the globe and the same globe is experiencing unprecedented climate changes, that leads to floods, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. that we as a human kind have to react to.

Our magazine as well is going through unusual times since the AOBP CR member base has grown rapidly to almost 200 companies. On the basis of that the interest in being presented expanded as well, especially for the new members. We can see that there was a major growth in numbers of companies focused on cybersecurity, crisis management or security consulting, just from the content of Review and that’s just another reason why this issue contains of 124 pages.

Publishing house of MS Line and editorial team of Review are beyond grateful, that the president of Czech Republic Petr Pavel honoured us with interview that is now opening our last issue of the year, as well as many other significant figures from security and defence community.

Right here it would be a shame not to mention, that the 14th issue of Security & Defence Technologies Catalogue 2025–2026 is now being released in bright new ”coat“, for more information visit page 122.

With the end of the year as well in the name of our editorial group and publishing house I would like to give a few thank you to the member companies of AOBP CR, representative Editorial Board, representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the CR, MoD of the CR, MoI of the CR, MoIT of the CR, MoJ of the CR, MoF of the CR and to their executive branches for their support of our work and for active participation in the making of our production.

Great deal of thanks goes undoubtedly to the Presidium and the Council of the Directors of the AOBP CR, Management of state material reserves, Brno Trade Fairs, the management of FFF and to many others for excellent cooperation in the year of 2024.

We are honoured, that our publishing house and editorial team could, even by a small bit, contribute to the success of Czech defence and security industry in the form of promotion and support in our home country but also beyond the borders for almost thirty years by now. If you give us the opportunity, we will keep standing by your side, as we always had.  In the year 2025 we wish you steady health, peaceful family life and, of course – work achievements.
