FORCE Editorial Calendar 2024
Each issue of FORCE will address modernisation of the Indian military and paramilitary forces; the challenges it faces and the limitations it has. FORCE is the ‘one-stop-shop’ for all issues pertaining to procurements, both under the Defence Acquisition Policy and through government-to-government agreements.
FORCE will also be participating in a number of international defence and aviation shows in 2024. While FORCE will be available for distribution at all these shows, in some of these events, FORCE will bring out Special Issues and Show Dailies. After all these events, FORCE will do a post-Show Report in the following issue.
