Breaking Defense today is launching the Defense Business Report, a new channel and weekly newsletter on the most important news about the business aspects of defense, including innovation, mergers and acquisitions, finance and the industrial base.

Our Defense Business Report will provide a focus within Breaking Defense for those interested in the rapidly evolving business dynamics of defense, at a time of immense change in technology, global threats and the business milieu. Defense Business Report will be a channel on Breaking Defense and, starting the week of October 14, its own bespoke newsletter.

Breaking Defense made an investment earlier this year to double-down on our coverage of the business of defense because of a simple fact: This is arguably the most transformational moment for the defense industrial base since the end of the Cold War.

At a policy level, leaders across the western world are talking about production and investment in the industrial base in a way they never have before. Technologically, capabilities like AI, cyber, directed energy, hypersonics, drones and 3D printing are likely game changers. And a new wave of small entrepreneurial firms are hoping to upend the hold legacy defense companies have on the global military budget.

All of this reporting — guided by Valerie Insinna, a highly respected veteran journalist with deep experience covering the industry — will now have a home and channel on Breaking Defense. This isn’t “tick-tock” coverage of stock prices or mundane details, but news that matters, analysis, interviews with key business leaders — the view towards what is driving the defense business today. Val, along with the rest of the Breaking Defense team, will make sure that everything you need to know about where the industry is going is laid out cleanly on a regular basis on the new channel, and then weekly, in an easy-to-digest newsletter.

Sign up for the Defense Business Report today. You can’t afford to miss it.
