ABOUT DEFENSE TECH

Technology is shaping how wars are fought, borders are protected, crooks are caught, and individual rights are defined.

Defense Tech, a Military​.com site, stays on top of these changes, rounding up the day’s news, linking to sources of information, and providing analysis on what’s ahead.

From Predator drones to roadside bombs, computer security to nuclear threats, body armor to missile defense, the site aims to examine the intersection of technology and defense from every angle, covering the exploits of soldiers and hackers, madmen and geniuses, inventors and dictators.
