DECEMBER 2025AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6EditorialThe global defense landscape has been evolving at unprecedented speed, driven by emerging technologies and increasingly complex mission environments. At the forefront of this transformation are organizations whose commitment to excellence is redefining military preparedness and operational capability across domains.Leading the charge, military simulation and training service providers are equipping today's warfighters with immersive, data-driven training environments that mirror the realities of modern conflict. From virtual battlegrounds powered by artificial intelligence to live-virtual-constructive integrations, these innovators ensure that service members train as they will fight--agile, informed and mission-ready.Complementing this readiness is the work of defense engineering service companies, whose breakthrough designs and systems-integration expertise are accelerating defense modernization efforts. Their engineering leadership enhances mission performance and reinforces long-term resilience across land, sea, air, space and cyber operations.Above the battlespace, aircraft performance continues to hinge on reliability and environmental resilience. The aircraft filtration products solutions this year demonstrated how material science and engineering finesse translate directly into safer, more efficient missions. Cleaner airflows, enhanced durability and smarter maintenance cycles are giving operators an operational edge where it counts.And none of this moves without world-class logistics. The military wood packaging manufacturers of 2025 proved that even in a high-tech defense economy, precision craftsmanship and compliance-driven design matter. Their ability to secure, transport and protect mission-critical assets ensures that equipment arrives battle-ready, every time. In this edition, we feature some of the most influential names in the industry. One such name is Conflict Kinetics (CK), a company that specializes in high-fidelity training solutions. We also present insights from expert CXOs, including Geoffrey Torrington, Space Systems Technical Director at BAE Systems, and Sarah Leeper, Vice President and General Manager of Electronic Systems at Draper. We hope the valuable insights from industry leaders, along with the solutions and services featured in this edition, will help you make informed decisions for your business.
