The aerospace and defence industry continues to be a hotbed of innovation, with activity driven by the uptake of advanced technology, and growing importance of technologies such as hypersonics and advanced materials. In the last three years alone, there have been over 174,000 patents filed and granted in the aerospace and defence industry, according to GlobalData’s report on Innovation in Aerospace, Defence & Security: Turbine parts brazing.
However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend.

The European Union has also sounded the alarm about ammunition in the Ukraine conflict, stating that the severe ammunition shortage facing Ukrainian forces must be overcome in a matter of weeks.

Ukrainian officials are downplaying the idea that Russia is gathering combat aircraft near the border for a major operation across their country.
