Defence

Jane's Information Group provides a wide range of accurate, sector-wide relevant intelligence services and solutions

Tri-Service
With four specific Intelligence Centres, three Libraries and 14 closely targeted resources, Jane’s combines an essential overview with detailed reporting and analysis across the tri-service spectrum. This is the core of Jane’s offering, providing everything from an a la carte, integrated solution to your information needs, to authoritative reporting within specialist sectors.

Air Forces
With a complementary suite of specialist resources, Jane's gives you the vital overview of the high frontiers in aerospace. Covering everything from engines and components to air forces, from defence forecasts to space systems, these options allow you to select precisely the information you need.

Land Forces
When your primary concern is with soldiers and their support units, Jane's supplies you with a choice of 18 separate information sources providing the most up-to-date intelligence. With this high level of specialisation, you can be sure you have access to information that is reliable and relevant - helping keep research time to a minimum.

With 15 sources of information on offer, you can ensure regular and authoritative updating on your specialist areas.

Security

Jane's Security Intelligence Solutions cover three critical areas of national security: country risk, military capabilities and terrorism and insurgency.

The business of security is about staying ahead of active and potential enemies. However, security forces must now deal with an ever-faster proliferation of weapons, from small arms to CBRN. At the same time, advancing technologies give both state and non-state actors (whether terrorists or crime organisations) new capabilities to organise, infiltrate and attack. In this environment, it is essential to have the best possible access to the most up to date information and intelligence. This is why Jane's is moving quickly too: expanding its provision to bring you complete coverage. For example: in the past year we have closely monitored topical issues ranging from the problems caused by ethnic separatism to the links between drugs, people trafficking and terrorist financing. We regularly report on issues of political and social stability in specific countries and, of course, wars, ceasefires and alliances.

Country Risk
Planning for effective protection begins with a full understanding of the types and sources of risk that you face. That’s why Jane’s collects, focuses and filters information from across the security spectrum. You can check on the pertinent dangers affecting individual countries, or receive intelligence specifically analysing security forces, equipment and leadership. There are also country risk assessments available on key topics including bilateral and multilateral/regional relations, political stability and risks of coups, crime (including drug, arms and people trafficking), and civil war. Much of this information and analysis is drawn together in one intelligence centre, enabling fast access to related information.

Military Capabilities
Whether you are primarily interested in air, land and sea forces – or all three – Jane’s covers all the bases. Our authoritative perspective combines the latest information available with independent analysis, so you can accurately assess strength and vulnerability when making your own threat analysis. You can find further specialist intelligence on amphibious and special forces.

Terrorism and Insurgency
With Jane’s, you can have deep insight into your asymmetric adversaries: we offer you detailed intelligence about the threats faced by specific countries, or posed by different terrorist groups. You can also find analysis of terrorism trends by tactic, target or casualties. Other themes include the financing of terrorism, propaganda, recruitment and radicalisation; also counterterrorism operations, and prevention and mitigation strategies. All this crucial information is brought together in a specific intelligence centre.
