Asian Defence Journal (ADJ)

Asian Defence Journal (ADJ) is among the world’s leading international magazines specialising in defence and security matters. Its wide readership, comprising the top echelon of military and political decision-makers from the Asia-Pacific, has confirmed ADJ as the premier defence periodical in the region. It is the only internationally audited defence publication in the region.

Founded in 1969 and published monthly since 1970, the magazine covers political and security issues, defence technology, international defence programmes, industrial and economic matters, as well as interviews with top brass from the armed forces and senior executives of the defence industries. Its coverage also includes defence and security-related exhibitions, developments in the various defence and security forces, governments, including their procurement authorities, and also news updates from the international defence industry.

An important aspect that separates ADJ from any other international defence journals is its editorial concept: fair and dedicated issues and articles from an Asian perspective. In addition to the regular country briefings, interviews and product features, the magazine maintains a number of features such as defence force modernisation and company profiles. The regular news update section and exhibition and show news would coincide with the major regional trade events.

ADJ’s readers include high level government and military leaders, officials of defence and security related civilian government organisations, captains of industry and academicians. With more than 11,000 copies circulated monthly in the Asian region alone, ADJ is a reliable source of defence and related security information in the Asia-Pacific region.

Show Dailies and Show Schedules for 2009

Asian Defence Journal (ADJ), Asia’s leading tri-services English Language defence monthly, is proud to be associated with the following defence exhibitions which will be held this year. Besides the regular monthly issues, ADJ will also publish Show Dailies in conjunction with the exhibitions.

The Show Dailies will be distributed at the respective show site and will be made available to all trade visitors, exhibitors as well as government and military decision-makers who will be visiting the exhibition. These decision-makers will turn to the Show Daily for an easy source of reference to the key products and companies that are being promoted at the exhibition, as well as the key stories that ADJ will report each day.
This confirms ADJ’s standing as the “Number 1” defence and security-related publication in the Asia-Pacific region and also the confidence of the show organisers.
