The insightful articles, inspiring narrations and analytical perspectives presented by the Editorial Team, establish an alluring connect with the reader. My compliments and best wishes to SP Guide Publications.
"Over the past 60 years, the growth of SP Guide Publications has mirrored the rising stature of Indian Navy.

I wish SP's Publication team continued success, fair winds and following seas in all future endeavour!"
Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain. I wish SP Guide Publications continued success in its pursuit of excellence.
The US Army Rapid Equipping Force, through the Robotics Technology Consortium, have selected the Lockheed Martin squad mission support system (SMSS) to deploy to Afghanistan for a first-of-its-kind military assessment. SMSS will deploy as the winner of the Project Workhorse unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) competition sponsored by the Army.
The largest autonomous vehicle ever to be deployed with infantry, the 11-foot-long SMSS can carry more than half-a-tonne of a squad’s equipment on rugged terrain, easing the individual soldier’s burden, which can often exceed 100 pounds.
As part of the three-month military utility assessment (MUA), four vehicles and a field service representative will support light infantry in theatre as the service evaluates how autonomous vehicles can support or ease the equipment burden for deployed troops. The Army plans to begin the Afghanistan assessment late this year, after a period of evaluations and training.
