Defence organisations across the world have spent millions trying to develop wearable solar technology for soldiers in the field. The technology gives soldiers a constant source of energy to recharge batteries, while reducing the need to carry a large amount of heavy spares. But how close are we to seeing deployed soldiers with wearable solar?

A new type of cyber attack that appears to be immune from all conventional defences and spreads by jumping the "air gap" - even when disconnected from networks - recently grabbed the headlines of computing journals. But, in the last of three special features on new types of cyber threats, we find that individuals are far more likely to be at risk of losing data via the smartphones in their pockets.

The result of cyber attacks against military systems can be far more severe than the financial, data and service loss experienced in commercial systems, potentially putting lives at risk. This second of three special features on new types of cyber threats explores the phenomenon of "spoofing", where the enemy substitutes false situational awareness information into military C4I systems.

High-profile hacking cases dominate the headlines, but while the main aims of modern cyber cyber criminals are unchanged - stealing information and denial of services - hackers are finding new ways of bypassing security measures. Over the course of three features, cyber experts explore the new threats presented by hijacking internal servers, data leaks by authorised employees, spoofing, mobile technology and "unkillable" malware.

Survival rates for deployed military personnel have improved exponentially in the past few years due to radical improvements in training, procedures and medical technology. But military and NGO medics working on humanitarian relief missions often face unsanitary conditions, a lack of resources and limited local knowledge. How can care be improved for civilians in war-torn countries and disaster relief zones?

The variety of models currently out for tender demonstrates a lack of consensus on future vehicle designs, especially in key areas such as mobility and protection. There are, however, certain areas where consensus is growing in areas like high-tech armour, systems, sensors and vehicle components.
