Notes from the Unstrat desk.

Selected, non-attributable updates on the portfolio, programmes and the governance that frames every engagement.

Updates track how the catalogue and the business change over time: capabilities added, domains expanded, positions clarified. Read this to see how our coverage is moving rather than to find breaking news, and to judge whether a supplier's reach is growing in the direction your programme needs.

2026Channel

Portfolio expanded across five domains

The capability portfolio now spans land, sea, sky, space and cyber, bringing independent manufacturers together under a single accountable channel.

2026Space

Sovereign space programmes in development

Space-infrastructure programmes covering satellites, ground segment and operator training are in development with partner manufacturers for national customers.

2026Cyber

Critical-infrastructure hardening engagements

Defensive and offensive cyber engagements are extending to the control systems behind power, water and finance across priority markets.

All engagements continue to require classification review and end-user-certificate verification before any capability is represented to a market.

Aug 2026Insights

The real price of a weapons system is the permission slip

Lt Col H F Rangwala (Retd) on why buyers under-count the political conditions attached to a defence purchase. The invoice price is the one that gets negotiated hard. The permission slip is the one that decides what you may actually do with it.

Aug 2026Insights

The best system for a country is usually assembled, not bought

Lt Col H F Rangwala (Retd) on why no single prime is best at everything, and how an accountable party in the middle delivers best-of-breed capability without making the buyer the integrator.

What we publish here

The entries record real changes to what we can deliver and how we frame it. They are notes for buyers who are following our coverage, not a feed built for its own sake.

Why a changelog matters to a buyer

A buyer scoping a multi-year programme needs to know whether a supplier's coverage is growing or standing still. A plain record of additions and clarifications lets a planner judge that without reading between the lines of a sales call.

Grounded, dated to the year

Entries are kept to what actually changed. We do not manufacture milestones or attach precise dates we cannot stand behind, because a changelog that inflates its own history is one no buyer should trust.

Following our coverage over time

The value of this page compounds. Read across several entries and you can see where our catalogue is deepening and where a country's sourcing options are widening, which is exactly the trend a long-horizon buyer needs to watch.

It is also a modest accountability check on us. A supplier that publishes what it added, and what it clarified, is easier to hold to its word than one that quietly revises the story. That is the point of keeping the record in the open.
